Chapter 201-210

Chapter 201 – Tree Of Light
“I… I…” Evie could barely follow along with what the light fae was telling her about she being the one to bring the prophecy to pass, much less speak. Her? She was the chosen one? The one who will bring back light and life to this land again?

Everything was just getting more and more unbelievable and fantastical. She had finally found the answers she was looking for but now she had also found something more. It was something she had never even imagined, not even her dreams. It was bigger than even her as a single individual – in involved a whole race of people!

She was simply overwhelmed at the sudden responsibility that had been put on her shoulders. Apart from the immense pressure of hopes and expectations of a whole race of people, doubt and worry bloomed in her heart. Was she truly the daughter of light as was mentioned in the prophecy? How to know for sure? Was there some kind of power that she could wield to make all these come to pass? What if she was not the chosen one as the light fae had said, and she failed in bringing the life and light back to this land? How would that affect the light faes on the whole? Would they be able to bear with the disappointment?

It was as if the light fae had read all her thoughts, her fears, and her doubts, she reached out her hands to touch Evie’s own. Her faint, shimmering translucent hands touched Evie’s fair, slender and elegant ones.

And though Evie could not feel her touch, she felt warmth being transferred across to her. The light fae was smiling. “Please do not doubt yourself or the prophecy, Princess,” the light fae assured, “you are the daughter of the light. There is no doubt about it. You’ve even seen the undeniable proof… Onyx, the ancient dragon of the last fae queen had answered to you… Onyx has never, ever let anyone pass through the gate of darkness since that fateful day. You are the very first. You are the only one. Moreover, the throne had responded to you as well. Because you are the chosen one, you are destined to come home and bring this land back to its former glory. You will rule over this land and become our new queen.”

Frozen still from the shock of the light fae’s statements, Evie took a long while before she could speak. She was completely appalled now. Not only because she did not even have the slightest idea on how to fulfill the prophecy but also because of the mention of the light fae’s last line. She was going to be this land’s queen?! How did that happen?

“But… but I am only part fairy…not even half…” Evie reasoned, “a… a very… very far distant descendant of the light fae royals. Moreover, I believe I am mostly human. Though it seems I have magic, my body is definitely human.” Evie tried to explain and justify her concerns.
