Chapter 277: He won’t hurt me...
Selene POV
She patted my back, her hand resting gently on my shoulder.
"We didn’t want you to know, Selene. We wanted you to live your life without that burden, without the knowledge of the sacrifice that brought you here."
I wiped at my face, trying to stem the flow of tears. "But why now? Why tell me this now? Is this why you wanted to come to Moon Whisper?"
"Yes," she nodded "Because the past has a way of catching up with us. The Fates are still watching, still searching for the imbalance in the world. And you, Selene... you are that imbalance. Your very existence defies the natural order, and that’s why the prophecy exists. That’s why Kragen is so dangerous to you."
I stared at her, the realization sinking in. "I’m the reason for the prophecy. I’m the one they’re after."
Helena’s grip on my shoulder tightened. "Yes. And that’s why you need to be careful. The Fates won’t stop until they restore the balance, and Kragen—whether he means to or not—will be the one to fulfil that prophecy."
I shook my head, trying to make sense of it all. "But Kragen has saved me, Aunt Helena. He’s protected me. He’s not a threat."
"Not yet," she said ominously. "But the prophecy is clear, Selene. When the time comes, he won’t have a choice."
"So, both I and Kragen are threats to this world. I can stop him and save the world from the darkness that is inside him but I’ll still need to die for the balance to be restored?"
She nodded her head.
