Chapter 15 - 15. Oracle

It is being quite afternoon,

The sun has just started to set. There is a

' foretelling camp ' in the right side of the Mandola street.

This street was named before a great freedom fighter. Who lived in Prada.

Carriages travelling on the road,

In this era, everything will start to develop. That time when humans will start to touch the sky.

The camp was closed by wooden barriers all around. There are just two empty place in 20 meter square length to put the entryways.

Some tents in crimson and deep blue are shinning in sunlight.

Couple of tables and chairs outside, on the camp field. People are coming here for their prophecy.

A person in early 30' came out from a tent. He was wearing black gloves and had brown middle sized curvy stylish hairs. Having a brown jacket and trousers.

With every table out there two there was attached. One for Foreteller and another for customer. Before going to his place, he washed his face, hands, legs near the water tab.

He again went in the tent and came out with a towel. He cleaned his face and put the towel on his shoulders.

" Hmm..... I see the chair empty today. However, let's see if someone... Comes. "

He started to play with cards. He was kinda jealous because all other spots were full of customers while his empty.

After a while, a woman came near to him.

Had a white purse and white dazzling clothes.

Foreteller noticed her and stood up.

" Hello mistress, how can I help you. "

He helps the woman pushing the chair at her. She slowly sat on the chair and sighed.

Foreteller also sits but after customer.

" No problem, you can put the purse in a side of the table. It won't cause trouble. "

She did put the purse in the edge of the table from the left side from her.

" My name is Julius Constantine, you can address me as Julius. Can I have your intro if you don't mind?"

" Uh..... My name is Sharon Lee, I live near the Mandola street and..... "

" That's enough. Now, just expose your problems. "

" I need some prophecies about my Husband. He is very ill. He is been on bed for last week. "

" Oh, let me help you. In which process do you like to continue the prophecy? "

" Um..... I am not good at these foretelling things so, continue as the way you think it has more outcome. "

Julius took some colouring cards out with no texts. He put all of those on the table.

" Now I need to ask some questions. How old is he? What kind of decease he is suffering? "

" Uh... He might thity three years old if I am not wrong. He caught in lungs cancer. I went to doctor but he said it will take time till his number comes. There are some more patients. Recently, many people died. I was tensioning so I came here. "

" I see, what kind of work he does? "

This question was not necessary for the foretell, Julius just uncovering some info there.

" He was a business man in Darby Dock. He sailed into the sea and hunted many sea monsters. He went to work last nine days ago. "

Her face was upset all the way along. She was sad for a reason. She never looked up, just looking down at the table.

Julius Constantine, started to jumble the cards taking in his hand.

Each colour cards here represents different prophecies. Like yellow represents Happiness, Green represents Success in something, Violet represents death to someone the person knows and more.

" These are not normal cards. Every card here are divined with the mysticism sign. "

Julius turns one card back and shows to Sharon. Back of every card was white and had a spider like mysterious sign.

After jumbling the card he told Sharon to close her eyes, she did. Julius threw all cards scattered on the table. Some of them were twinning, one card lying on another.

Sharon slowly raised her hand closing eyes and grabbed a twin card. She opened her eyes.

Julius takes the card and was shocked.

Pale and Violet at the same time?

Pale represents, from now the person who came as customer, her life from now will be happy while Violet represents Death to someone she knows.....

Julius was confused. Thinking for a moment he came to an idea. She looked at Julius.

" Hehe, you want your husband die right? Isn't it? Tell the truth. You have any child right? "

Sharon hesitated at first,

" Yes, he is a monster more than a husband. I loved him so much. Even I ran away from my parents... "

She was about to burst in pain.

" I don't understand. You deserved this. Didn't your parents forbid you not to be with that guy? So why did you? "

" I know, it's my fault. I wish I could get another chance, but life is too cruel. "

" Hmm... Your husband will die in next seven days as my prophecy says. I hope you will start another life from then. May the blessing of God of Fate be upon you! "

" .... Well, how is it? The bill? "

" Oh, one dollar and one pence, please. "

Both stood up. Sharon Lee gave Julius his bills and went out of the camp. Julius felt bad for her, but after all she herself is the reason of this burden.

Just an hour till evening.

Some people came and surrounded Julius.

" Yo! What are you doing? "

Mitchell Margaret, a middle aged man.

" How are enjoying just sitting here? "

A woman named Megan Horse.

" Looks like you are used to do this. "

A boy in his 21th year, Calinger Zagreb.

" I am bored, can we do something funny?"

A young woman named Bertha Macbeth.

" Turn over. "

Said by a old man in his 30' named Sebastian Marcel.

Julius just ignored them.

With a tempered glare Bertha said to Sebastian, " Shut up, old man. I am gonna be the next leader of this group! "

" Didn't you get beaten by the new guy called Allen Iverson yesterday? "

Sebastian replied.

" Oh come on! My sandals slipped or I would have easily pinned him on the field. "

Megan Horse came in the battlefield,

" Okay stop, see those two new kids are coming. "

Allen Iverson and Roze Fildart entered the camp. People are leaving the camp seeing nightfall.

" Hi, there. What are ya all doing? "

Roze said shaking her hand in midair.

Julius opened his mouth.

" Why did you two take so much time to come? "

Allen said with emotional less face,

" Can we just get started? "

" Everyone expose your status. I am from Gambler path, state -3, Oracle. "

Julius said.

" Nice to meet you, I am Mitchell from Strategist path, state -5, Spy. "

" Hello, I am Calinger from Charmer path, -2 state, Sinner. "

" Hello, I am Bertha, from Survivor path, -3 state, Blacksmith. "

" Phew, I am Sebastian, from Lucky Charmer path, -3 state, Taylor. "

" Hehe, I am Megan, nice to meet you. I am from Lucky Charmer path, sate -4, Guardian. "

Hearing Megan's Roze was surprised.

" Really!? I am a Guardian too! "

Both made a handshake.

Allen kept silent.

" Oh, he is also from Gambler, state -5, Charlatan. He is talkative but still good. So, mister Calinger is the senior guy here? "

" Nah, it's Constantine. He is currently leading the group. Sometimes acts like monkey. Have some mental decease I think." Calinger said.

" Don't forget who went to find the keys yesterday although, it was under your pillow. Dude has some forgetting illness I think. Check up hurrily or you will start to lose sense of direction. "

Calinger felt like Julius threw a spear at him.

Roze was chuckling.

" Okay, let's go in. Sun is falling apart. If we keep the tent open we need do war with mosquitos all night. "

Everyone entered in Julius's tent one by one.
