18 Chapter 17

"As you know, we have gathered the full council to find out if the possibility of this young lady is the missing heir is possible. We will be joined soon by the oracle Janelle and will put this to the test. In the meantime, we need to discuss the danger of the Merdique coming into our territory unannounced and attacking innocent people, and coming after Acadia" after hearing a few gasps, and hushed talking, he asked me to stand, I do with a shaky smile.

"Silence please, this is Acadia, we discovered her ability of precognition when she befriended Zaline a few years ago, and have been keeping an eye on her to see if she was part of Merdique. After discovering she was not aware of our world at all, we decided to leave her be, until the first attack. Then we let her in on our secrets and brought her under our protection, as most of you are aware of. She has continued to have visions and running into danger, Merdique seems to want something from her, and we recently discovered she might be the heir, due to her possibly having another ability, the rare ability of power augmentation. As we know this is the power that lets you heighten another's power's by touching them" Buford stops speaking, standing silently looking at everyone.

Silent shocked stares looking at me, and shocked a bit myself, that's what that was? I was the one forcing Remey's powers that night, damn. "I would like to open the floor to the discussion now" as I sit back down, the room erupts into talking, yelling, and arguments.

Buford holds his hand up for silence, then looking at an older woman at the opposite table of Zaline "Mother, would you like to start first?"

His mother! Wow now that I look at her, I can see the resemblance, He is a spitting image of her, blonde hair, slender but muscular frame, and those green eyes that I love so much "Thank you, Buford, I'm Claudette by the way"

Looking at me "as you know your father is out of town with the other elders still searching and they sent me as their voice" With a nod from Buford and a few others, she continued "I have one question first, How did you get the name Acadia?" I glanced around and answered.

"My mother left me on a doorstep with a note that said 'keep her safe, she is Acadia' so that's what they named me" There goes the gasp again, noticing it was mainly the older ones in the room, I look at her quizzically.

Claudette stands a bit taller and maybe a bit more scared "A few of you may not understand the significance of this word or name in her case, But Acadia is part of premonition from the heir before J'havia, J'havias mother had a Prophetic Vision of Acadia being the destruction or savor of all magical being's" Collective gasp go around the room including mine.

Buford responds "I remember you telling me this story growing up, I didn't think nothing of it, until now".

Claudette still standing looks at me very carefully "Acadia, if you are the prophecy that she spoke of, I believe the oracle will let us know, and if you are, I call to the council, Heir or not, we should vote to keep you in our protection or as we would say our good influence until we know which you will turn out to be, then and only then will we take action" Freaking out a bit, my eyes getting bigger as I realize what she means by taking action!

It's not enough to think I might be an heir of something new and magical, I might be the doom of all of the people I might be born to protect. This is too much; this oracle lady needs to hurry up and just tell them I'm normal. Buford and Zaline are arguing with Claudette, as others are still looking at me, or joining in the argument as well, as I contemplate my next move.
