Chapter 45 The Moon

• Jamal Kunis POV
• It has been two days since I was in the forest that night when the White Witch had tried to communicate the Moon Goddess to reveal unto me who my mate was and unsurprisingly, it worked. I never doubted the White Witch powers. After I blacked out that day, I appeared in a river the colour of the moon. I sat there for a long time, alone pondering on life. I was told that I had only spent a few minutes’ unconscious but to me it felt like I was out for years before a glimmer of something came. I had sat by the river side for hours not knowing what to do. Eventually I got bored so I started looking around. I found the answers behind an old rock. Ancient scripts were engraved on the back of a stone and while reading it, it sounded oddly like a prayer. I said the prayer and the runes faded. Another set of runes appeared and instructed me that in about an hour time, a shooting start was going to appear past the moon. If I was lucky enough to see the star, then I should proceed to look into the water. If I saw the reflection of someone else, then that person was my mate. If I saw myself, then my mate was already taken or worse, dead.
• Keeping this in mind, I looked above, waiting for a sign, waiting for the shooting star to appear. I waited for about another two hours. I was not ready to give up, even if it meant staying here till I died just to discover my mate I would do it. I felt like this was something I needed more desperately than anything else. My stay with the Dark Witch had starved me of this blessing for too long. It was time I reclaimed it.
