Chapter 1 The Prophecy

Helena McKinelys POV:

“Lady of the Lake, what do you see for my daughters future?” I want to know ask lot, know alot, as she is my only daughter. I want to know if she is going to live a happy life, if she will be healthy, if she will be loved, if she will have kids one day, and more. Though I am told by others I can only ask one question and have to be specific.

“Helena of the McKinely farm from the Rosemoon Province, you have not come all the way to the Spiritmoon Province to me just to be unspecific. Ask the right question and I will seek the answer in The Mystic Moon Waters.” I stare at her wondering, thinking, what question, out of all that I want to ask is most important.

“Will my dear Rowan ever be loved?” I notice her looking at me and she asked, “The baby please”, so I handed her my Rowan and watched. She then turned to the lake she called The Mystic Moon Waters and dipped my baby in its waters. Right then she looked up above her at the blue moon.It was then I noticed she was singing a song I recognized, “…she makes her whole family proud. Sometimes the world seems against you, the journey may leave a scar. But scars can heal reveal just where you are. The people you love will change you, the things you have learned will guide you…” It is song past down from our ancestors to sing and to learn from. I only hope my daughter could learn from it as well.

By the time the song was done the moon shined bright above us and the Lady Of The Lake eyes matched its brightness. After her eyes went back to there normal sapphire blue, she turned back to me and put Rowan in my arms. I looked up at her searching her face for answers. In response I got a riddle, “More then one she will love and both love her. They live in the kingdom but not the way she would expect. But be warned once Rowan finds true love, one of her own will try to ruin her. Remember that she has to change on her own to accept their love or all will be lost. That's all I can say.” One question and all I got was a riddle for an answer but at least I knew my baby would be loved but also ruined? Maybe?

More then one man, but who? She also said someone close to her would try and ruin her love but who would do such a scandalous thing? Would it be friends, family, or even a stranger? And she has to change to accept her love? What does that even mean?

Rowans POV:

I wake up around noon. I am surprised I even remembered that. I look like only a baby when that happened, barely 2-3 years old. I will admit though I still do hum that song to myself when I need to remind myself of who I am. Though why did I dream of it now? Why must I change to accept men who I am "supposed" to love? And will I know who they are when I see them?
