Journey To You - Chapter 69

The Divine Witch Circe doesn’t want to consider her confession. She is convinced Eu and Lumina are not Celeseans nor from Mystic Spirit.

They are from a different Realm.

Still, she can’t voice out her disagreements as she looks at the young girl. Her aura is unique compared to anyone else she has encountered.

Even if she has Oracle’s abilities, Circe suspects Eu is a prominent person from another Realm.

Who is she? What Realm did she come from?

“Divine Witch, please don’t misunderstand. I don’t wish to complicate things. I just wanted to save Astra…” Eu discloses.

Is that really the only reason she is here?

She knits her brows as she contemplates what Eu has disclosed. As a Divine Witch, she also foresaw the events, and they are not entirely pleasant.

Though, she also noticed some changes ever since this young girl’s appearance. Still, why didn’t she disclose and seek the help of Divine Lord Foeni?

The Oracles have left Celesea and moved to Mystic Spirit, breaking the laws of restrictions. Despite that, they didn’t face the consequences of breaking a Divine Law.

Lord Foeni has been helping and the Oracles are under his protection since two hundred years ago. The Oracles have considered this place their new home.

“You can seek Lord Foeni’s for help. Why won’t you tell him? He looks really concern about your welfare.” Circe curiously inquired.

“I truly wanted to do everything all by myself, but my current abilities are limited.” Eu responded.

“What do you mean…?” Circe curiously asked.

There was a long pause as Eu hesitated to tell the Divine Witch. The last person ended up sacrificing herself for her.

“I can’t involve anyone…” Eu murmurs.

“You already involved other people on your cause. Your comrades, Seig, Di’Anon, Eirwen, and many others. You even involve my apprentice…” Circe said as she points out.

Eu remained silent. The Divine Witch Circe has created a good argument, and she doesn’t know what to say.

Still, she doesn’t want to make the same mistakes again. Though, she knew she can’t succeed by herself.

Witches’ premonitions are not as profound as the Oracles. Still, she wanted to help as much as she could.

She doesn’t fully understand but feels she must help this young, mysterious Oracle girl.

“Divine Witch…” Eu began but interrupted.

“I am Aurelia… Please, call me Aura… Let us be friends.” Circe chuckles.

“But…” Eu started in disbelief.

She doesn’t know what to feel and sighs. Sadly, she cannot give the same courtesy to her and reveal her true identity.

She hasn’t fully unlocked her memories.

“I know, you are Oracle Eu. Let us just leave things like that…” Circe calmly said.

It’s been long since someone addressed her using her real name. She can’t help missing those days she is just a plain White Witch.

Eu smiled and thanked her for understanding her situation. As of the moment, there are matters even she cannot understand.

“I cannot tell you everything, but I will disclose what I can…” Eu confessed.

She closes her eyes as she organizes her thoughts. She accepted the Divine Witch Circe’s assistance and told her story.

****************************

Eu is a gifted young Oracle and granddaughter of Grand Elder Enoch— the current Grand Elder of the Oracle Clan.

She is simply believed as the late Anatolia’s daughter.

Eu has always excelled in her studies, and she displays exceptional skills. It’s unusual she didn’t have the chosen Oracle’s Mark.

Her Oracle powers manifested when the Shadows attacked the Middle Realm to retrieve the artifact, the Gateway of Realms.

From there, she began her journey as she hones her skills and everyone around her. She guides them to the correct path and prepares themselves to fight the inevitable.

The Limes Temple Guards improvement.

The three battalions under Aryen, Presea, and Reone’ s intense transformation.

She helped the Holy Guardians infiltrate and save Lord Turtle.

She saved the Oracle Clan from annihilation.

She mentored Gwyddien to become an exemplar Witch.

She saved Noite from his tragic fate.

****************************

“You are changing the course of events…” Aura mumbled.

“You can say that…” Eu responded.

Eu didn’t deny her intentions. She trusts that she can rely on her to keep everything confidential.

There was silence once again. The Divine Witch can’t believe anyone has the power to conflict with one’s destiny.

Who is this person?

Is it possible she is just Anatolia’s daughter?

Does that naughty Oracle has someone?

She knitted her brows and ended up in deep contemplation. On the other hand, Eu has indeed had an ambitious feat.

“Why are you telling me all these, but you refuse to inform the Divine Lord?” Circe asked Eu.

“It is best if he didn’t know. I trust him to understand someday…” Eu simply discloses.

She is afraid everything will fall apart once he discovers her plans. She simply can’t risk it.

Eu still cannot disclose plenty of matters, but she intends to do everything she could. She also wanted to contain the threat that has resurfaced.

Meanwhile, the Divine Witch Circe can’t help assume who she really is. Still, how is it possible that she is that person?

“Are you Lady Emilia?” Circe straightforwardly asked.

Eu tilted her head as she looks at her quizzically on her sudden inquiry. Why is Circe also suspecting she is this prominent lady who past away ages ago?

“Do you know her? Do you honestly think I am this person?” Eu curiously asked.

She wanted to know about this Lady Emilia, who everyone mistakes her of. She probably knew who she is, but in her current condition, she doesn’t really have any idea.

Meanwhile, Circe gave it a thought. Lady Emilia is a legendary figure who sacrificed herself for the good of everyone.

She is also an Oracle like Eu said she is and doing the same thing as she. It’s not hard to suspect their connection.

“Dear, I am not that old. I might be older than you, but I am still young.” Circe sighs.

How can the girl suspects she is that old? She shrugged her complaints and started to recall.

Then, if she remembers correctly, there is also one person she can link to her. The girl is only a few years younger than her as well. Still, that is several hundred years ago.

“Then, are you Clair?” she asked again.

If she is not Lady Emilia, then she must be the young Maidservant Clair, correct?

Eu looks at her curiously. Why is she insist asking about these matters?

“I am Eu.” she refuted.

The Divine Witch decided to give up and change the topic. She obviously doesn’t intend to disclose anything more than she already said.

“Little Eu, I promise to help you. Don’t do anything drastic, and let me help. I promise not to disclose your secrets to Lord Foeni…” Aura assures her.

The Divine Witch knew there are consequences, but she wants to put her faith in her. She is making things better for everyone, after all.

Eu smiles as she accepts her assistance. She doesn’t want to impose, but she knows that she also needs help.

She can’t accomplish all those things by herself. She simply needs to reconsider.

The Divine Witch Circe left the room and heads to the guest quarters and rest. She is really thankful Gwyddien has encountered Eu and everyone in Mystic Spirit.

In the middle of her contemplations, she remembers to inquire about Lumina. She is so fixated knowing about Eu’s connection and plans that she forgot to bring her up.

That mischievous little beast is hiding something.

‘Is it possible that White Beast is Clair?’

She shrugged at the thought. The girl is sweet and friendly, unlike that prankster little demon.

She also considers that Lumina is the key to discover who Eu really is.

These two are simply mysterious.

She can only sigh in regret as she heads to the guest’s quarters and rests.

Meanwhile, in Eu’s room, she sits on the couch and slumps on her seat. She smiles as she thinks about the progress.

The Divine Witch Circe’s arrival is simply unexpected but extremely helpful. Even at everyone’s abilities, they are still struggling to cope up with the Shadows numbers.

She summons Lumina, who quickly complied and appeared before her. She overhears the conversations as she rests on her shoulders.

The cuddly ball of fur appears on top of the coffee table. She stares at Eu and awaits her command.

“Thank you.” Eu said.

‘The Divine Witch is very intuitive. I really like her.’ Lumina chuckles.

“You also need to stop pranking her.” Eu reprimanded her.

Lumina crystal marble eyes widen in disbelief as she acts innocent from the accusation. It’s not entirely a prank.

‘When did I do that…? I truly admired her.’ Lumina refuted.

Eu heaves a heavy sigh. She knew that this playful little creature always slips a few spells trying to catch her off guard.

Eu heaves a heavy a sighs and lets it go. She closes her eyes and recalls their conversation.

She remembers the Divine Witch asked if she is Clair.

Aside from being mistaken as Lady Emilia, someone asked if she is Clair.

The name sounds nostalgic as she smiles. The name Clair is something familiar to her as well.

‘Clair, huh? Hmmm…’ she thought.

Meanwhile, in a faraway place, a man in heavy black cloak has searched different locations to find someone. He can’t understand how this person can continue to elude him.

‘Where are you…?’ he mumbled.

He decided to give up for now and relax. He has been searching for years but no accord.
