Realm Trinity chapter 26

Chapter 26

“So you’re saying that they will be at the portal in a day?” Trebajin asked her sister.
“Yes, they are prepared for a small scale attack but nothing more. They have gained an alliance with the creators, the Anchynts. Their plan is to close this portal permanently and they appear to have some gypsies closing the one that leads into the human realm.” Alexis stoically informed her.
“What do we do?” Trebajin asked as she slumped into the throne.
“We send in our fighters. We can not fight the gypsies but it will be an easy battle between humans. I need you to do what I say to win this. Do you understand?” Alexis stated.
Trebajin raised her eyes to her sister. She straightened herself and said, “Do not speak to me in that tone. I made you everything you are. You should be groveling at my feet.” she paused, “You are dismissed.” Alexis turned and walked out of the room. She turned down the hallway and made her way to her work room. Alexis sat on a stool before a large bowl of water resting on a table. From under the table she pulled a canteen of bitter smelling liquid. Tilting her head back she drank the whole canteen. The room’s atmosphere changed quickly to a humid thick environment, Alexis raised her hands above her head and then dived them into the bowl. The water’s color turned silver and it’s consistency thickened.
“What do the fates have planned for Trebajin’s daughter.” Alexis called. Her eyes appeared old and wise and contrasted her child body. The water swirled and a picture came into view. She saw two futures for the baby. One was with it’s mother, Trebajin. In this future she became a maid to the court and gets married. The child Kashui dies in childbirth to her husband’s, a nobody, child.
“Well that will not do. Let me see a future with me raising the child.” Alexis requested. Kashui’s other future came into view. Alexis saw the girl will grow in power she will rule the realm and bring prosperity. This girl will create a new religion and discover a new power source. She will be worshipped as a goddess.
“That is much better Alexis smiled as she removed her hands from the bowl. She dried them off on her skirt as she stood and glanced out the window. She stared at the moon. “I wonder how I will convince her to give up her child to me.” she questioned. Suddenly she began to convulse and her eyes became white. After fifteen minutes in this trance she woke up and sighed.
“Well I guess I will not be using my methods of persuasion to gain this child.” she whispered as she opened a chocolate brown leather case with a black satin lining, inside it carried a beautifuly crafted glaive.
“Hello my beautiful. It seems you will be needed.” 1
