I stood anxiously shocked and awed where I was because my gaze was transfixed in their glowing eyes. They knelt before me yet their heads were raised up as they stared deep into my eyes as if they were searching for my deepest secrets. I felt edgy, scouted closer to Zaccheus for protection and comfort because I knew he was only one who could provide it.

"She's the Queen of all!" they proclaimed in unison as their voice was like they were in some kind of hypnosis. "She has arrived and the prophecy is coming true. The prophecy begins with her and shall end with her. She either becomes a bane or boon for the realm because it has been written in her destiny, the time is inevitable and the fate is concealed. So we three siblings of circ.u.mstances have pledged our loyalties to you. To protect and serve you with our lives"  the glowing of their eyes faded away as the actual colour of their eyes returned. They smiled rea.s.suring at me and nodded to Zaccheus in acknowledgement.

I didn't understand what they were saying yet I knew they were talking about but I wasn't a princess or queen.

Zaccheus rubbed my back soothingly to ease my tensed form, why did they need to pledge to me? what prophecy? what does it mean it started from me? series of unanswered questions were running through my head making my head to pound with questions.

"It's okay dear, everything will be resolved," Zaccheus said softly as he took my arm gently, guiding me to his seat beside the man which I knew he was either called Sir knight or Alec.

I sat down edgy in between his legs on the chair as I used my hands to rub my shoulder nervously as I looked at them expectedly waiting for an explanation. Meanwhile, Zaccheus turned to Alec and nodded his head for him to begin.

"I know you have a feeling that this place is not normal?" Alec asked while I nodded my head.

"True, this is a supernatural world" he looked at me watching my reactions but when he saw I would not give any he smiled.

"We have many species of creatures in this world and their habitat their home which is known as realm here".

"OK" I replied meekly.

"We have humans, wolves, demons, witches, elves, vampires, mermaid..".

"You really mean mermaids exist?" I asked excitedly while he nodded his head, confirming my a.s.sumption.

"There are many creatures were created by the Supreme. The Supreme who's never seen or heard but created everything and handled the world to his three subordinate".

I chew on my teeth absent-minded as I heard Zaccheus growls before he used his hand to remove my bruised lips from my teeth.

"The world was in chaos, supernatural were killing one another and human were used as a slave and food. The three subordinate were disheartened by their failure and decided to divide the world into three- the Azebu (immortal realm), Kaobu (human realm) and Ishbu (the dead territory). Nyx took control of the human (Kaobu), Selena took control of the supernatural (Azebu) while Iris took control of the dead (Ishbu)" I rested my head on Zaccheus chest, feeling the beating of his heart soothing and easing my worries as I looked at Alec to continue.

"During the time of the chaos, an unheard hybrid was born, the son of Selena which was said to be as a result of her adultery with Nyx lover. Nyx lover was Hades (a demon) while Selena was a white witch. Selena gave birth to her son secrecy but the rumour got to Nyx and she cursed Selena's son with a wolf. When the child was given birth to, his power has not manifested making him a human until he was bitten by a vampire" he caressed his beard slowly as his eyes sought my curious own.

"Before he was bitten, he had a human lover who he loved with everything. His power was overbearing and he sought out his lover when he heard his people were after his blood and power. Upon getting to his lover village, the village had been burnt down by the dark witches and his people. Then his lover had been taken as a hostage in exchange for its power" I was eager for what happened next that I mistakenly b.u.mped my a.s.s on Zaccheus harden wood, which made me swallow in fear and delight. He breathed softly, murmuring some words I couldn't understand but could hear a word, "bend you over".

"The witches tortured and played with her minds to the brick of death. The dark witches knew that no one could kill the men except his lover".

"What happened next?, I hope she didn't kill him?" I asked frantically, feeling worried about what had happened in the past.

He smiled sadly, confirming my fear. If she killed her lover then what happened to her? when is she?!.  A lone tear escaped my eyes as I felt the pain in my heart.

" When the deed was done, the human cursed the dark witches and his people. That was when the prophecy exists because now you have to fulfil her dreams" he added staring at my tears stained cheeks.

"Don't fret my dear for nothing is coming to you because you have all of us.

" Can I know the prophecy?" I stuttered, having a gut feeling like it was all centred on me.

" Okay, if you want to? "he asked in a question while I nodded my head

"A King will be given birth to.

The King of Kings.

The King shall be powerful, so powerful that no man could conquer.

Except for his mate who would be from another realm.

An abomination!

A curse!

He shall be a demon, vampire, wolf and an elemental witch.

The wolf shall be bigger than any normal wolf.

The day shall change to night, the moon shall be bright to the fullest. Eclipse of the sun.

He shall howl to the moon, the howl would be deep and shall hold so much power to which everyone would bow to.

The beasts shall be unleashed.

The beasts that no one could tame except his mate.

A beast that his thirst could never be quenched.

Many would die, many would die! He would revenge till he destroys the whole lineage, he would destroy!

His mate shall either be a blessing or a curse.

Trust no one.

Believe no one.

They shall be betrayed by their kind.

Let him protect his mate because she could be the cause of his death and the entire realm».

"So.." I trailed off not knowing what to say.

"You are our Queen because you are his mate, his saviour, his only hope and ours".
