A prophecy

“Come to bed James!” Athena pleaded and shaking my head spoke, “No, no I think I will just keep guard around the camp!” “Why you never usually do it?” Eva queried and Artemis saw the flecks of red in my eyes and nodded, “No...no I think it’s right, maybe he can get some food for the day ahead!” he nodded watching the others leave apart for Wilkin who stared into the fire distant from the rest of us and Khutulun who had been staring at him all night, “Who’s he?” Khutulun muttered and moving over to rid the smell from my nostrils spoke, “Wilkin, he has lost everyone and everything, he is a great man who just needs something good to cling onto instead of seeing the constant horrifying sites as he see’s now” “Does he look warmth to you?” “He is right in front of a fire!” “Thirsty to you?” “I don’t know, Look if you are looking for an excuse to talk to him then just grab a drink and ask if he is alright!” he handed her a drink and getting up walked away unaware of Athena who started to follow him, “Hey, are you alright?” he snapped out of his gaze and turning around spoke, “Just lost in my thoughts!” “Anything wrong or all okay?” “Oh you mean my thoughts, well just painful memories!” “I know what you mean my father tried to sell me off to a rich prince but when I refused the prince sliced my fathers head off! I always blame myself for it but James keeps saying it isn’t my fault because I didn’t know he would do that and queries where was the King’s guards!” “He said the same to me...How was I meant to know that the Baron’s men would kill an innocent child and my wife and the Baroness would betray me, if I couldn’t see it then it must have been well covered and those who do such a thing are bastards! Where is he going anyway?” “I don’t know since he came back he has been acting very distant and pushing everyone away, by now he is usually either flirting with someone or is in bed with one of us!” “Yes, he said he made a deal to spare the Dearg Due” “It’s not often I say this but I don’t feel safe tonight!” “Yeah me too, that’s why I rather sit next to the fire!” “Could you stay in my tent for tonight? I feel a lot safer if there were two of us then just one!” he nodded and following her in closed the flaps.

I walked down into the forest trying desperately to get away from the smell of humans but no matter what Athena’s smell lingered and why? It was soon revealed when she called out, “James where are you going!” “I need to be alone!” “Why?” “I just do!, it’s important that I am!” “But why!” and clutching my head my teeth started to lengthen into fangs, “What happened?” “I freed the the creature, the Dearg Due but not before I had to make a deal, I took the place and currently my blood is trying to fight the curse! Go back now and make sure the fire is up high, you are are armed and close your tents up!” “But?” “Now!” She ran off and pushing forward, further away from the camp smiled as the scent grew fainter and fainter but this was replaced by a stronger male scent, a ground makes and seeing the lights soon saw they were torches and it was actually a group of hooded figures inside the stone construction and turning the leader spoke, “Welcome James! We have been expecting you!”

“Come forward to the centre!” “How did you know, I was coming!” “The Tree’s have ears and the sound you made was able to be heard for miles!” “What do you want with me?” “A prophecy muttered for centuries of a forgotten God cursed with the curse of drinking livings blood, soaring one person for him to take her role without realising the trouble he has caused by not killing her” “I couldn’t let her suffer anymore!” “We are not hear to challenge your judgement but to warn you of the monster you will have to become in order to defeat the Troll army led by Gnawer. You won’t understand it now but at the remaining locations it will be clearer!” I went to speak when another spoke, “A woman with snake hair with reveal the truth and reveal the traitors in your family! The liars, deceivers and worse of all murderers!” I went to speak again but was again cut off, “Enough of this, the time draws nearer we need finish the prophecy the dead must walk the earth to stop the monster from devouring the living” and opening the chest I stopped to see the Ankh be lifted above the crowd, “you need to give me that, it’s not meant for humans!” “We know what it is a we assure you that you can take it away after but for now we must raise the dead!” they put the bones onto the stone centre and placing the Ankh on top of them started to prey to the gods as the bones start to be covered by skin, “This curse who created it?” “The Goddess you call Athena your father stated she made it so, her jealously has rotted away your family leaving only decay left, her jealously forces you to live with this curse for the rest of your days unless Zeus spares you of such a fate, Hera has aided you the Draugar has sent down a gift to help you control your transitions retrieve it and control your suffering. Come she is reborn!” “Who is she?” “A woman with anger in her heart and pain in her soul, a woman kissed by fire and abandoned by snow, was left wandering in the afterlife and not once her lover sought to find her, centuries of torment!” “A name that is all I asked for!” “Ygritte!” “What happens after we are done?” “You will decide!” and watching it finish her eyes shot open, “Welcome back!” I spoke and covering her bare chest she spoke, “Where am I?” “I will explain that later but first of all clothes!” she nodded before punching the nearby Druid in the face snapped, “You stare at me again and I will black your other eye!” I smiled before sniffing her smelt nothing, no blood nothing from her, “I can’t smell any blood!” “That because she doesn’t have any, meaning she can be near you and stop you from doing anything stupid!” I nodded before turning around to give her privacy she spoke, “I want answers and I wan them now!”

“So you are a god?” she laughed before snapping, “I should punch you just for lying to me!” “My camp will vouch for me!” “Okay god tell me who won the Iron Throne” “Yeah it’s before my time but my father was there. Daenerys won with Jon, they co-ruled which is easy when they were in love, Cersei escaped with his child was taken back to her realm and he killed Khaleesi and Jon died not long after, Sansa fell in love with my father and Arya followed them. It seems after that there was no one left to claim it so Yara took the crown, being the last family standing!” “Jon fell for her! I can’t believe it, we were...” “You had been dead for a good number of years so what would you expect?” “It’s not the fact he moved on but the fact it was with someone like her!” “They got close over the events it’s only natural!” “And me? What about me?” “You will be free after four more beasts!” “Then what?” “You decide, you can choose what you What to do when you want to do, who to love and who to hate!” “If I make it!” “You will, I will make sure of it!” she stopped as the others started to stare at her entrance, “Who is she?” and rubbing his weary and tired eyes Tormund spoke in shock, “Ygritte? How?” “I’m back apparently I am needed, please explain to me the truth!” and sitting down opposite him he began to repeat the whole story but this time he had support in the fact he kept the Cyclops eye as a trophy among the other trophies that surrounded the camp.
