Chapter 99: The One
Valerius, Damien, and Kenric entered the study located at the end of the west wing of the Shadow Palace where the Dark Fae Queen was already waiting for them.
"Mother." All three Dark Fae Princes greeted their mother with deep bows.
The queen silently observed her sons before her eyes finally stopped at Damien and she spoke, "You should be with your mate right now. What’s so important that you three have to meet me this urgently?" Her voice was devoid of any emotion and so was her expression.
Damien bowed once again before he answered, "We have found the one - it’s her." He noticed the sudden change in his mother’s eyes even though it disappeared in even less than a second.
"Are you sure, Damien? You know exactly how serious this matter is." The queen stared at him with her powerful gaze that could easily make anyone kneel because of the pressure of her powers. She owned three out of the five elements - water, air, and earth.
"Trust me, mother, I won’t dare to make any mistakes in this case. Completing the soulmate bond between us allowed me to access her power source and I found the presence of exactly what we have been searching for for so many centuries. Let me show you something." Damien stretched out his left hand towards the Queen before a string of energy left his Moon Thread and went to the queen.
The Dark Fae Queen caught the string of energy and allowed herself to consume it. Her eyes shone brightly for a moment before they were back to normal. "Indeed... she’s the one but..."
"Completely unaware of her destiny." Valerius finished what their mother didn’t. He had always known that their little wife was more than what she seemed or believed, that her powers weren’t just as simple as other fae descendants, however, nothing would have prepared him for such a shocking revelation.
The queen nodded her head in agreement as she let out a small breath before speaking, "Who would have thought that fate would make you guys meet like this? It seems like the four of you are indeed destined. First, the last prophecy of Divine Oracle selected the three of you as the guardians of ’The One’, and now destiny has made you all meet her as your fated soulmate."
