Chapter 15: Eerie Symphony
Inside the Kingdom of Zion’s Palace.
Lively music sounded in the background as everyone in the Great Hall enjoyed themselves, dancing, talking, playing, and drinking.
The event was hosted to celebrate the New Year, and the king had declared a royal feast that would continue for at least a week.
But there were also a lot of other things to celebrate about. Tarah felt very grateful and blessed as her eyes followed her loving parents who were dancing sweetly to the lively music. Their sweet and affectionate display filled her heart with warmth, and she couldn’t help but hope for a relationship as beautiful and enduring as theirs once she grew up to be in their position.
The celebration was not only a reflection of their kingdom’s prosperity, but it was also a moment for them to personally reflect on their dreams and aspirations. Absentmindedly, she let her thoughts wander to a certain man who had been appearing in her dreams lately, causing her cheeks to flush red with a hint of embarrassment.
As she continued to revel in the fun atmosphere, she felt a pang of guilt for what she was keeping to herself. In truth, her heart carried a secret that she had yet to share with her parents.
Recently, upon turning eighteen, she began to experience random visions and dreams. This newfound ability, rare and exceptional as it already was, immediately set her apart and marked a significant turning point in her life.
In her diligent studies to see what was happening to her, Tarah eventually came across historical records that detailed similar cases of individuals possessing the gift of foresight. However, such occurrences were exceedingly rare, and she only found what she was looking for when she finally got to studying the history of the Kingdom of Ebodia.
The Kingdom of Ebodia, the largest realm in their continent inhabited by humans, had a long-standing tradition of having a fated Seer for every ruler of each generation.
