The day I turned 18 was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. The beginning of my future with my mate but it all turned to hell when I was rejected. He wanted someone powerful, someone equal to him. An accessory that could help him gain power...

"Yeah, we kind of guessed that," Rissa said in a snarky tone.
"Don't fucking make her upset, Cari. We hiked through the woods for weeks so I didn't come here for nothing" Leo said not so quietly.
Ignoring their bickering I asked Abia "Since you're the knower of all, can you tell us what the black smoke is?"
"Why the hell would I tell you what it is?"
My anger spiked as I calmly said "Uh because we went through your trials to prove ourselves worthy of your answers."
"Oh I know, but what's the fun telling you now than finding out later."
"You've got to be fucking kidding me" I muttered under your breath.
"Hell no bitch I broke three fucking nails to get here, you better tell us what the smoke is before I stab you with Nellie's sword," Rissa said.
"First of all, I am immortal, so I won't die. Second, I never said I wasn't going to not give answers just later after a story, and don't worry, it's not a long one."
"Look Abia, we did a lot to come find you and people are dying so can you just tell us what the smoke is and be on our merry way" I replied to the prophet.
"And I have been stuck in the middle of nowhere with barely any company for centuries, so you are going to listen to my story, anyway."
"Girls, just listen to her story then. She obviously isn't going to let this go so the faster she tells us the faster we can leave" Leo said.
"Wonderful, I would like some tea before we began," Abia replied as she walked deeper into the cave.
Following her, she walked into the middle of the room, waiting for us to gather around her.
"Grab onto each other's hands and close your eyes if you don't want to go blind," Abia said.
Once we held on, she chanted a spell, "Deteget imaginem in domum suam."
When I opened my eyes, it revealed a modern room with a big circular table in the middle of the room. Grabbing a chair, Abia served all of us with chamomile tea before sitting herself in the last chair.
"Where are we?" I asked.
Instead of Abia answering, Rissa responded, "It was always here she just unveiled the room for us to see."
"Well, to more important matters, wait nevermind I have to go to the bathroom real quick," Abia said, disappearing in thin air.
"You're joking, we're going to be here forever," Leo said, putting his head on the table.
Looking over to Sinclair who was quieter than usual, I asked, "Hey you ok, Sin?"
His face was covered in a worried expression, the same as Adonis who looked like he was about to break into hives.
