“I must tell you this, so listen closely.” The older woman said, her eyes glazed over as if in a trance, “What if there was a life you could not let go of, a man whom you would give your life for but his abilities make him a threat to human and Daeva history.”
“There would be no such man,” Irti replied.
“But there is and you will find him irresistible. His wit and caring nature, will be for you. He will calm the rage burning in your soul.” The older woman paused briefly, “What are you willing to give up for your true mate?”
“If I am understanding you correctly, I will love a human?”
“Yes,” What a simple answer from the woman’s mouth.
Irti got up from where she was sitting. “I think I will wait by the door.”
“What bothers you so?” The older woman asked.
“You, to think I will love a mortal, a human, preposterous.” Irti turned. “Mind yourself old woman. For what you say will get me banished from my people.”
“If that is your choice, then make it. Happiness is fleeting, don’t throw it away with both hands when offered.”
A chill went up Irti’s spine. Maybe the woman was right.
