Chapter 200 - Daughter Of The Light

Evie could only stand there, being rendered completely immobile from the latest information that was fed to her by the light fae. Her mind was still having some trouble processing the information she had heard. That was truly so far-fetched and unbelievable!

However, after thinking through things and recalling on certain facts from her own family history, she realised that it finally all fell into place. It made perfect sense now that she thought about it.

Looking at all the signs, from the strange language only they knew about, their silvery hair, their ability to call upon the dragons and all the other mind-boggling things Evie managed to pull off since that day she found the necklace... everything fell into place. It just went to solidify the one thing that seemed unbelievable – that the Ylvia family was indeed related to the light faeries. There was no other explanation. Not to mention all the strange and intense emotions she had been feeling since she first stepped into this land.

Now all of it made perfect sense and fell nicely in place. It was all because this place was once the home of her ancestors! She was even totally flabbergasted to find out that she had such close blood relations to the light faes!

"And you, my princess," the light fae's call pulled her attention back to the present again and she bowed at her, "you are the one we've been waiting for. I have patiently anticipated your arrival for countless of years. I believe you are the chosen one. The one who will bring the light and life back into this dead and desolate land. After so long, things would live and flourish in this place once again. Our city will once again return to being a lively and beautiful place as how it was before when our beloved queen was still with us."

Blinking in confusion, Evie stammered. "W-wait.. what do you mean I'm the chosen one?"

The light fae flashed a gentle and hopeful smile. "There was an ancient song that had been sung by the light faes ever since the beginning of time. Back then we didn't pay much attention to the message that was in the song itself. But for the many years that I have been just wandering endlessly.. almost aimlessly, I found and understood so many things. It was then that I had realized that ancient song we had always sung without much thought was actually a prophecy." She said and then she began to sing a beautiful and mystical song that had sent gooseflesh all over Evie's skin.

And to Evie's shocked surprise, she could understand the song even and knew it was clearly the same language of the Ylvia song. She had felt something incredibly strange when she sat on the throne a while ago but because of the flurry of surprises and everything that the light fae had told her, she had temporarily forgotten about it.

But now she remembered again, that when she was sitting on that throne, something seemed to have ignited within her. She knew something changed in her body the moment she sat there, and she was almost certain that the sudden ability to understand the Faeries' language was one of them.

'Darkness will descend

Death and sorrow

Grief and pain

Blood pouring down

Like endless tears of the angels

Washing away everything

Mourning the fallen

The great sun it won't

No, never will it shine again

Till the daughter of the light

Return she would and rise again

Reclaiming her throne

Coming home

Coming home

Ending the rain of sorrow

Drying the heaven's tears

The desolate land shall see

It shall set their longing eyes

Their desire of the light

At last would come true

And that shadow

That darkness will be no more

No more, no more

That dark of night

Would then turn into light'

When the song ended, Evie's eyes were blurry with tears. The light fae's hauntingly melodious voice truly gave life and soul to the words that were sung. Evie felt each word pierce her deeply and cause something within her to resonate so familiarly with her surroundings. She had struggled to keep her composure. The song had truly affected her body, spirit, and soul.

"This song is a prophecy the light faes had not realized before. But I've seen everything since that day the darkness came. That day the queen died and taking everyone with her, it started raining in Crescia. It had never rained like this in our lands. There were only light mists and gentle drizzles that were responsible to water the land and the plants within. However, after that fateful day, that turned into a downpour and this heavy rain had never stopped ever since. I watched the plants and trees suffer and bow over under the harsh deluge of the rain. Their roots were suffocated. The ground never dried up. And that caused the roots to rot and eventually die.. I watched everything got washed away little by little in the past thousands of years until there was nothing left but stones and crystals.

"When you and your men travelled here, you have seen the dismal state our city had been reduced to. This slow death and deterioration of our land continued until nothing was left but the things that were lifeless. The sun too, had never shone again past the thick clouds and fogginess that constantly covered the skies above Crescia." She elaborated with such pain and sorrow in her voice.

However, the next moment, she looked up and Evie saw the light fae's eyes shining with so much hope and faith, causing her to feel quite a bit of nervousness as she had no idea how to be the answer to their prophecy.

"Till the daughter of the light, Return she would and rise again.. coming home.. Ending the rain of sorrow, Drying the heaven's tears.." the light fae repeated a few lines of the song. "When you arrived at the castle, the rain had already stopped. And that had never happened. This was the very first time in the thousands of years I had been here. You are the daughter of the light in the prophesy, Princess. And only you will be the one able to bring back the light into this land. You are the one to bring back precious life to this land as well."
