Chapter 652 She Is Your Mother?

It was late noon and still there was a time before Seren to be sent to that icy cave. The time was passing by in silence as everyone was just quiet and was immersed in their own thoughts for the night to come.

Seren, who was sitting on one of the rocks surrounded by the water, was looking at her reflection in it. Her veil covered face, her purple eyes and those scales. Though those scales were not real and it was her one choice to keep them, she could not help but relate them with the scales that other women had on her hands or maybe on her entire body.

Not just those scales but there was something else that was making her feel something about that woman, there was a certain pull she felt towards her- uncanny resemblance she felt but what exactly she could not figure it out.

'Those scales on her hands, is she the said witch who brought me to the palace? That must be her as there is no one with the scales and she is the one protecting me. She is a witch but the energy coming from her was pure and divine as if she was much more than I could see her, though it energy core broken or something hindering it. Did something happen to her to turn her and her energy distorted like this?'

"What are you thinking so deep, My Queen?"

She looked at the man who was standing behind her. He walked towards her and sat next to her on that big size rock.

Seren looked at him with calm gaze as she asked, "Dray, do you think that woman who didn't show us her face to us is my mother?"

"I am not sure." Drayce didn't know what more to say though he had the same doubt. But if that woman was not ready to reveal her identity then he should not confirm anything.

"I...I have this certain feeling which is making me think about her all the time. I feel like I have some connection with her."

"If you are feeling it, then there must be something."

"But that woman won't tell me, right?"

"Maybe we should wait till this night passes by."

Seren agreed, "I have no other option but to wait." She looked around, "I don't see the Elf, Mister Yorian."

"He must have gone to meet them."

"Them? Those two women?"

"Yes."

"They know him?" Seren asked.

"I am sure one of them knows him at least."

"Who?"

"The woman named Evanthe."

"Is she from Agartha as well, just like Mister Yorian?"

Drayce nodded only to hear his wife, "No wonder she seems to be so powerful. If I am not wrong, she is a witch, right?"

"Hmm, a White witch, the strongest of all," Drayce replied.

"Strongest of all? That means she is a Queen of witches?" Seren asked as she looked at Drayce who looked unusually calm, answering her whatever she said. "Yes."

"Queen of Witches?" Seren mumbled as she thought about something, "You say there is only one Queen of witches. Your…mother was a Queen… as well…" Seren's last words came out as a whisper to herself. She could not believe what she had just concluded and only looked at Drayce who was calmly looking ahead towards the narrow water passage of that cave from where they entered this place.

Seren didn't say a word and sat quietly. She herself could not digest this sudden fact so she could not imagine what must have been going in Drayce's mind. There must be so much he wanted to talk to his mother but he was calm…calm for her sake as the important night was about to be there.

"You are right. She is my mother," she heard Drayce say, but didn't know how to respond to it.

She recalled their time with the White Witch Evanthe and realised how these two- a mother and a son kept their own emotions aside and simply talked about her safety and protecting her. Moreover, that woman was her mother-in-law who gave birth to her husband.

Unbelievable!

She finally held his hand in hers gently and looked at him, "Are you alright?"

He looked back at her and nodded, "I am. Don't worry."

"Because of me, you didn't get to talk to her."

He shook his head, "In fact because of you, I could see her. Maybe you were the reason that she was not in that river and was protecting you all along."

"Though I am happy you could see her but not sure I should be happy that she had to spend these years protecting me instead of coming to see her son."

"Don't blame yourself for it. Not like she was busy protecting you but she could not come to me because of her own reasons," he assured, caressing her hands with his, "But soon we will talk."

"I hope she comes back to Megaris with you."

"With us," Drayce corrected her, "but I don't expect this much from her. As long as we can stay in touch, I am fine."

Seren nodded and then thought about King Theron. She wondered what would happen if these two came across. She knew Drayce wouldn't be happy with it as he was not aware of the entire truth of what exactly happened back then and it was not King Theorn who sacrificed his wife. She could only pray that one day Drayce would know the truth and everything between him and King Theron would be fine.

"Can I tell you something," Seren spoke.

"Yes?"

"When I came across your mother and the other woman, I could feel the strong pure white energy around them. I know they are also supernatural beings but that was something different about it which I can't explain exactly as I have not come across many strong supernatural beings. You and Yorian are the strongest of all I came across but those two had something more to them. And that Black Witch, who abducted me she was also strong but I don't wish to talk about her all felt was the evil aura around her. And it's not about just sensing their powers but I can sense their intentions as if I can see through their hearts."

"Is it?"

She nodded, "Like I can see you have a strong dark power energy aura around you but I know you have a good heart but I could sense the opposite about that Black Witch who abducted me. About that mysterious woman you came across on that island, you said she was a young Black Witch but I didn't sense any evil in her. She seems to be someone with a good heart. And I can feel this only towards those who have powers. I can't sense this towards ordinary humans. Also, Mr Yorian, I didn't feel any evil intentions from him, that was why I let him scry into my powers."

He looked at his wife for a moment, "Though you can not use your powers, there are things you can still do and nothing can stop you from connecting to it."

"Such as?"

The first thing that came to Drayce's mind was Seren's tears but he didn't wish to tell her and, "Such as you can see the kind of energy someone possesses whether it's good or evil or how strong their powers are."

"Is it good?"

"It is. This way you can identify good and evil people around you. The aura of energy also shows the intentions of that person or you can say you can see through their hearts."

"This seems to be a good thing," she agreed.
