292 The Chieftess's Bet

Even though Orion understood what she was trying to say, he still couldn't help but ask for clarification, "What are you trying to say, Chieftess?"

Chieftess Zara narrowed her eyes at Orion and explained, "What I am trying to say is that just like you, my husband has no future. Just like you, I was unable to see and predict his coming days, how he would handle the village, the potential dangers that may befall him or the village, the decisions he would take and how they will affect both him and the village. I am unable to see anything, not even a glimpse of it, just like you." 

She shook her head in discouragement, then paused and dropped her head before raising it again, taking a deep breath of fresh air and exhaling deeply once more. Focusing her eyes back on Orion, her voice suddenly became firm as she continued, "In the grand scheme of everything that involves the village's safety and the Village Chief's life, you, Orion, have made my gift useless."
