"You and I did not meet by chance Elizabeth. It was written in the ancient books thousands of years ago that it would be our destiny to meet and fall in love." He assured me.
"What else is written in the ancient books?" I asked, my voice was soft and soothing, not wanting to offend him, I was having a hard time believing all that he said to me.
"You dont believe me!" he said with an edge to his voice.
"I didnt say that, please dont put words into my mouth." I begged him.
He lowered his voice to a husky whisper, "It is very important that you understand what I am telling you. The written word does not lie! Me and you are now one." he said, and he caressed me with his eyes.
"Please, I want to believe you, but your words sound far fetched." I told him.
A muscle twitched in his jaw. "You think I am lying to you?" and his gaze lingered on my face waiting for my reply.
"You are asking me to believe all this supernatural stuff. Where I come from, things like this do not exist." I told him "but I want to hear more, maybe I can make sense of this if I hear a little more."
Alexander took a deep breath, and exhaled, "We are running out of time! I will tell you everything, but it is crucial that you listen carefully and try to understand all that I say." he spoke with a depth of emotion and a tragic sense of desperation.
"The books, "Secrets of the Universe" are very powerful books, containing very powerful magic in them, and if they fall into the wrong hands, the world will cease to exist as you know it. My brothers and I have guarded those books with our lives, but somehow two went missing. The two most important ones. The Emerald Tablets have the magic words written in them that sustain the veil from going down." he said breathlessly.
"Explain to me please more about the veil." I said, and I saw his eyes brighten with hope that I showed interest in what he was telling me.
He inhaled sharply, and continued. "The veil is like a wall, it keeps the monsters out from our dimension. These horrid creatures are powerful and super smart and want to destroy our world! They have joined forces with the underworld, the dark forces and together they have lethal power and wait for an opportunity for the walls to crash so they can come into our world and create havoc before destroying us all."
My eyes opened wide with fear with all this terrifying information, but I said not one word, I wanted to hear more.
"The Books claim that you and I were destined to meet and fall in love. We are soulmates, and both our powers together become a super power that will be so strong that we can and will defeat the creatures. There are two kinds of Druids, one compliments the other. We are the chosen ones. We are bound by ancient laws." he paused for a second, allowing me time to comprehend what he was telling me before he continued again.
"Mary, my brother's betrothed, can see the future. She has visions, and she saw when you were born into this world, your mother had fallen in love with a Druid that was visiting your dimension and got pregnant with you, but she died giving birth to you. A human cannot give birth to a Druid and survive." he said softly, taking a pause to see what my reaction to this news would be.
"What? You have information on my mother? I never met her and did not know what happened to her, Uncle James raised me, but never talked about my mother ever." I said, as the tears rolled down my face.
A husky sound rumbled deep in his throat before he pulled me into his arms and comforted me. I felt safe and a deep sense of love surround me. He whisperd words of endearments and waited until I stopped crying to continue.
"James is not your uncle , he is your father and he loves you desperately." he said, as he wiped my tears with his calloused fingers. "He could not tell you the truth, he did not want you to know who you really are. James wanted to protect you from the truth. He did not want you to ever come on this side of the world. He feared that if you found out that you are a Druid, your life would be in danger. He lied to protect you. James blames himself for your mothers death, he loved her deeply. To this day, her memory is sketched in his heart"
"So that means that my father is a Druid! I always wondered where he dissapeared to every so often." I said, thinking back to all the times after he sent me off to boarding school, he would dissapear for long lengths of time.
"So my father is here now?" I asked, jumping off my seat. "When can I see him?" I asked excitedly.
"Elizabeth, sit down, there is much more I need to tell you. Your father will not be too happy to see you here. He made it clear to us that he did not want you to ever come here, nor does he want you to find out who you really are. I went against his wishes bringing you here. But I could not help myself, after Mary had her visions, she described you to me and I fell instantly in love with you. I waited as long as I could, but the time came that I needed your love." he said as he struggled to tame his emotions.
