“I am the hand that pulls the string,
I am the arrow that kills the game,
I am the game that can’t be seen,
What am I?” my daughter asked.


“Hmm…..hmmm.....your question is quite difficult to answer as it is not a straight riddle. I don’t think I have an answer to it.” I smiled and pretended to be thinking. Mellissa smiled and then chuckled after I started scratching my head and giving my wife eye contacts in my hope that she might help me. She just smiled and looked away from me after she got a glare from our daughter.


“Don’t be cunny like the fox, father. Look at me and stop seeking for help from mother.”


I smiled and then said,


“The hand should be the hunter, the arrow is the killer and the game that can’t be seen is the old one.” A scowl appeared on Mellissa’s face after what I just said which was a sign that I answered the riddle correctly.


“How did you figure it out?” she asked.


“I am a hunter, I should know my riddles.” I laughed after saying that and opened my arms for her to run into. She ran into me and later moved back, she stared at me for a while before she picked interest in playing with my nose.


“How did you come about that riddle, mother told you?” I asked.

“No, mother did not tell me anything. I created the riddle myself.” She answered and continued playing with my nose. I smiled and kissed her forehead before pulling her to me.


“You will become a better hunter than I am.” I whispered in her ear. She laughed and ran off to be with her mother.


I woke up with a start to find myself on a bed and the face of the beautiful witch staring at me. I looked around me to discover I wasn’t in the same room I was earlier. This room was a lot bigger than the other one and beautiful with ornaments and other things gracing the top of it. I was on a rather big bed and when I looked towards the window I saw a figure facing it and backing me. With displeasure written all over my face, I said,


“You used your filthy magic on me to get me away from someone who needed me. How did your magic get to work on me, anyway?”


“There are so many things you do not understand about magic. No worries, it will be our utmost pleasure to teach you to understand what you carry inside of you.”


“That’s enough, Ellen. You can leave now.” the figure facing the window finally spoke, the beautiful witch gave me a strange look before she stood up to leave, swaying her hips as she walked. She is quite the attraction, an extraordinary face and the perfect body.


“I will strongly advise you to stay away from that woman, she hates men and I wonder why she has taken to you long before you got here.” The strange figure continued to speak without deeming it fit to look at me while doing so.


“I know better, thank you.” I replied.


“Of course you do, which is why you brought in a spy with you and disregarded the rules of your hosts to get what you wanted.”


“She was dying and they seem to care more about your hatred for the woman than saving her.”



“There is a reason why they are despised. They have killed so many people and have left so many souls in anguish as you will soon come to know, in their service to their king.
Anyway, she won’t be here for long. There are more important issues that require our attention. You were dreaming a while ago and that was the last time you saw your family. Do you know why your daughter said anything about that riddle before you killed one of them?”


I was surprised she knew about my dream but killing the special deer was too much to take. I stood and went after her; I pulled her back and held her neck. I wanted answers to so many things and I needed no one’s help to tell me she was the Anna I seek. I was about to ask how she knew about the old one I killed when I stopped and moved back out of shock. The face staring at me was not one I expected to see.


“You….you…how can this be? You are the woman I helped once from being raped by some excited boys. How can you be Anna?......no…no…you have been watching me, it’s why you know about what I kill and a lot more I didn’t tell anyone. What do you want from me?” I asked out of frustration.
The unusually young, middle-aged woman turned away from me and went over to the bed.


“I have a lot to tell you which is very true but right now I need you to answer my question.”

“If you were in my dreams, you would know that I don’t have an answer to that question. I don’t know how she came about that riddle and I wish she hadn’t, probably she might still be breathing.”


The woman looked worried and started walking back and forth for quite some time before she said,


“I unlocked your gift by enabling you stray to where one of the old ones could be seen once in forty years. I felt the time was right for you and your gift to be one but I still don’t know how a very young girl like your daughter is able to say and understand such a difficult riddle. From the way she spoke, it’s quite clear someone was speaking through her but the identify of whoever it was still remains a mystery to me and if we don’t find an answer to that question quickly, we might have an unknown player in the prophecy.”


"What are you on about now, what has prophecy got to do with anything?” she shook her head before she answered,


“Your ignorance and unawareness is really a cause for concern. You want to tell me you didn’t know your daughter had the gift of sorcery and had the unique ability to not just read prophecies but also write one. The fault here isn’t her powers but the fact that she was too young to start using such powers. Someone was clearly using her to get to you, someone with powers like hers. She is dead now and the only other person we know of such abilities is you but we know now that’s not true. Someone is out there manipulating the prophecy to suit them and if they are not found out, we are in serious trouble.”

I couldn’t believe how blind I was not to know my daughter had the gift which must be the reason behind her death.


“What is this prophecy that you keeps you on your toes?”




“A prophecy that was discovered not too long ago talks about the return of the golden one who will seek to conquer all. He will be broken in the soul and will be out for vengeance. The prophecy had you in everything which is why I brought you here now to teach how to use your gift for good and not for evil. I have watched you all this time to make sure you do not walk the path of evil but it appears you are not the one in the prophecy and neither is the mad king – Lucien. The prophecy is directed at another golden destiny whom we don’t know yet but we are certain has been born. There is a lot to be worried about apart from saving a demon."
