I JUST WANTED TO GET MARRIED!!!
EPISODE 15 - THE ORACLE'S GUIDE
After Ariana's breakdown and dream, the team decided that wasting another minute will be costing them heavily.
With their bags already packs, the team, along with Ariana, found themselves back to the Oracle's Coven, to get a deciding answer on where to begin their search.
Ariana stood before the Oracle once again. Her three allies flanked her, their faces marked by anticipation and unease.
The previous prophecy had set the course of their journey, but they needed more clarity.
The Oracle sat in her usual spot, her eyes glowing with an ethereal light as she prepared to speak.
The chamber was silent, save for the faint crackle of the braziers.
Ariana stepped forward, her voice steady but edged with urgency.
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
We need to know where to start. Tell us where Adrien and Nyssa’s boyfriend, Reyle, have been taken.
The Oracle tilted her head, her voice echoing as if from another realm.
Ioneira / Oracle of Delphi
To the west, where the sands burn red,
Lies a captive bound, despair widespread.
A love forgotten, a heart turned stone,
Yet whose is the cage? Which soul atone?
Ioneira / Oracle of Delphi
To the frozen east, where the winds bite deep,
Secrets buried in the ice do weep.
Not all chains are forged of steel,
Not all wounds time can heal.
Ioneira / Oracle of Delphi
The gods are silent, but silence deceives,
Their hands may give, yet also thieve.
The halls of Olympus, tarnished and bare,
Guard truths no mortal heart can bear.
Ioneira / Oracle of Delphi
Seek the storm where the tempest rages,
The fate of hearts lies in the ages.
A friend may falter, a foe may guide,
The line between blurs; choose a side.
Ioneira / Oracle of Delphi
What you seek may not be found,
Paths may twist, truths confound.
Adrien’s fate lies far from sight,
And what’s unveiled may not be right.
Ioneira / Oracle of Delphi
Beware the cost, beware the cry,
For one may fall, and one may rise.
Together, Princess, you two will reign,
To shatter doom or birth disdain.
The Oracle’s glowing gaze settled on Ariana, her voice lowering to a near whisper.
Ioneira / Oracle of Delphi
Be wary, Princess.
Ioneira / Oracle of Delphi
You walk a path of blurred lines and hidden faces.
Ioneira / Oracle of Delphi
The gods’ intent is not always as it seems, nor is their guilt absolute.
Ioneira / Oracle of Delphi
Adrien’s fate… is entwined with yours, but not as you believe.
Ioneira / Oracle of Delphi
Choose wisely, for your heart may guide you astray.
The chamber was filled with a heavy silence as the Oracle’s words faded.
Ariana’s fists clenched at her sides, her mind a whirlwind of questions
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
*thinking* Too many questions... Too little answers...
She glanced at her companions, their faces mirroring her confusion.
Nyssa Haes / Daughter of Hades
What does she mean ‘love forgotten’?
Nyssa Haes / Daughter of Hades
And why warn us about seeking answers in shadows??
Kallistrate Grace / Daughter of Athena
*frown* It almost sounds like we’re being 'warned' not to trust what we think we know.
Kallistrate Grace / Daughter of Athena
The gods... and Adrien... could the truth be more complicated than we imagined??
Kallistrate Grace / Daughter of Athena
*looks at Ariana*
Ariana’s heart thudded painfully.
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
*firmly* Adrien is out there... And so is Reyle... *looking at Nyssa*
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
We will find them. No matter what.
Theron crossed his arms, his tone uncharacteristically serious.
Theron Kim / Son of Hephaestus
*serious* But the Oracle’s words are clear...
Theron Kim / Son of Hephaestus
We might not be looking in the right place. We need to keep our eyes open for... something else...
As they all pondered in silence, the fates whispered...
"Be swift... Be fast... Or else... Your heart may be torn..."
