“Rylan, what are you doing here?”
“The same as you, of course,” Rylan Answered my question, but his eyes looked at Riftan.
Riftan, who also looking at Rylan, asked me about Rylan’s identity. “Sabine, who’s the gentlemen?”
“He is the Weredragon that I have told you, the one who fought the creature, remember?”
Riftan just nodded his head, Rylan on the other hand, smiled and offer his hand to Riftan.
“Nice to meet you, I assume you’re Sabine’s mate?”
“Yes, her true mate, and you’re the one who safe my mate? I gave my sincere thanks.”
Both of them weren’t smiling, it worries me, thankfully, Josiah could read the tense atmosphere. He told us to take a seat and rest. Josiah then whispered something unexpectedly.
“Did you have more than one mate potential?”
I turn around at Josiah. “What do you mean more than one?!”
“Wait, you’re not aware of the potential?” Asked Josiah, with a surprised look.
Riftan, looking at the two of us. “What are you two whispering about?”
“Nothing, I said to Sabine to be quiet as soon as we enter the oracle’s place.” Answered Josiah, with a nervous tone.
I shifted uncomfortably, and tried to take a rest, where Riftan and Rylan couldn’t even see my face, I kind of wanted to avoid the two of them, for now.
“What did you say to my mate, Josiah?”
I’ve heard, Riftan is having a conversation with Josiah, he thought I have already drifted away.
“Nothing that much, important, Riftan, you should calm yourself.”
“Calm? I was calm.”
“Are you sure? You didn’t even hide your distaste towards me.” Another voice joined their conversation, it was Rylan.
“What are you insinuating?!”
“Nothing! For hell, you’re an insensitive elven.” Grumbling Rylan.
“That’s enough, you two!” Josiah’s shouting at the two of them.
Suddenly, I hear the door being pushed open.
“The divine oracle will see you now.” Said a young woman, possibly Shakira’s apprentice.
“Which one? Him, or us?” Asked Riftan.
“All of you, including the Weredragon.”
Riftan shook my shoulder several times, I was pretending to sleep the whole time, but of course, my mate doesn’t know about it. He whispered to my ears, trying to explain the situation.
“The apprentice asked us to meet her at the same time, the weredragon will join us.”
“She wanted Rylan to join us? why?”
“I don’t know, let us go, for now.”
I glance at Rylan, who’s already followed the apprentice to the winding hallway to enter the red hut of the oracle. Strange, he doesn’t seem bothered about the fact that we are going together to meet the oracle.
“The Weredragon is a lot calmer than we are, so odd, don’t you think?” Whispered Josiah to my ear.
“Indeed, even you and I were so surprised that he was going to join us to meet the oracle. Anyway, Rftan was right, let us just go, for now.”
The three of us, following the apprentice and Rylan from behind. The hallway is made from a very sturdy wooden structure, just like the rest of the huts. The huts use the natural color of the wood, except for the red hut of the oracle. Even the door is strange, a slide door style with a thick glass covered the door.
“Obsidian, what magnificent craftsmanship.” Muttered Riftan
“Dark Nephilim certainly knowledgeable.” Praised one of the apprentices.
“You’re right, this is an obsidian door, being crafted by the elven who originally came from the Human Realm,” Josiah explained it to Riftan.
The obsidian door slowly opened, revealing a very beautiful golden color room, with plush seating and the odd shape table. There’s a woman, an elven woman with white hair, and red color eyes, her face, is so beautiful, almost ethereal, I thought she is a Nephilim, at first.
She looks at our group and smile. “Sabine, the golden hybrid, with her mates and Josiah, come in, please.”
“Excuse me, oracle, what did you say?!” Asked Riftan.
“Riftan! That’s rude!” Josiah glared at Riftan and scolded him.
“That’s alright, Josiah, it may be a very shocking revelation for the dark Nephilim and to Sabine, as well,” Shakira lifted her hand, to prevent them from bickering inside the hut, “Now, all of you need to go inside, and please do sit down.”
Shakira turns her focus to one of her apprentices. “Make some herb teas, it will calm their nerves a bit.”
This time, I agreed, Riftan face is so indescribable in a bad way, while Rylan, just keeps his calm demeanor, though I didn’t believe he was that calm, at all. All of us were seated in front of Shakira the Oracle, her eyes shifted to look at all of us.
“Josiah, I think this time you brought very interesting guests.”
“All of them? Cause I don’t think the Weredragon was the part of my group.”
Shakira chuckles, her eyes glancing at Rylan. “The Weredragon came here, need some answers that are related to one of the elven on your group.”
“One of the elven on my group? Who is it?” Asked Josiah.
“Isn’t obvious?” Answered Shakira, while her eyes falls on me.
My mouth is wide open. “It’s me?”
“Yes, you already heard it, Rylan came to me. He told me that he finally met his true mate, but, the elven already have a true mate,” Shakira explained everything about Rylan’s intention, my heart almost skip a beat, she continued to explain Rylan’s circumstances, “Sabine, you’re his true mate, the moment he saw your face, he knew, you’re the one.”
“That’s impossible! Sabine already has a true mate, me!” Riftan, screaming while glaring at Rylan.
Rylan, keep his silence, this time even staring down at the wooden floor. Only Josiah, trying to calm Riftan, my eyes staring at Rylan, my handhold into his shoulder.
“It is true, Rylan. Riftan is my true mate, I could feel it, in my heart.” I whispered to Rylan.
I heard Shakira, talking in her deep and echoing voice. “Yes, Riftan is your true mate, which is the truth. But, Sabine, Rylan is also your true mate.”
Riftan eyes are lighted, and he was furious, “You’re lying! How is that possible?! Every elven never has more than one true mate!”
“Though, there’s no record about more than one true mate, but, I could see a blurred image of her future, I see more than one true mate for Sabine.”
“How so? You see my future?”
“There’s no certainty into anyone's future, including you. All I could see is shadows, surrounding the future you.”
I hold Riftan’s hand, smiling and trying to calm him down. “Please, let us hear what Shakira the Oracle needs to say, we need this, alright?”
He nodded his head, and let me be the one who spoke for the two of us. I share a look with Rylan, I do have some attraction to the Weredragon, though I must say, it is a new feeling. I took a deep breath, and let Shakira continue.
“Whatever is in your future, both of them are there, with you, fighting and protecting you, along with one other elven man.”
“My apologize, what?!”
“Oh, I forgot to tell you, it appears you have three of the true mates.”
