Gandolf stood there renewed and refreshed.

He bowed slightly and walked away, towards one of the ring doors.

Misha, Julian, and Sarah who can now see watched him closer than anyone else and were even more stunned than those watching from a distance.

They witnessed all that happened first hand but to them it still felt like a dream they were yet to wake up from.

As Gandolf walked away, Julian held unto Sarah's hand and quickly paced behind him.

Misha held the amplifier and for a moment, he was speechless. A messenger quickly rushed forward and whispered into his ears.

His shocked expression was changed immediately and he said into the amplifier: "And the ruler of Helilia is and remains Sir Gandolf Belimoth. Still amuses me that this family has been able to hold unto this position for 8 decades now. Each time they come out, there's always something new, something to wow all."

A wave of silence swept the crowd as they seemingly thought about Misha's statement as they made their calculation, precisely about how long the Belimoth family had been ruling.

"Go ahead take your time!", Misha who had done his research and calculations for the most likely event of Gandolf's win said with a smile as he looked up at the east wing of the crowd.

"Alright! Next up, we have the Pregillians!", After speaking he pointed his hand at the ring door.

And coming out, were 3 persons.

But to all's surprise, the ruler of Pregillian, Zed Miner wasn't amongst them.

The crowd began to murmur.

"Where is Sir Zed?", They asked one to another, especially those from Pregillia.

When they looked closer, they saw a familiar face, Zed's eldest son, Kay Miner, amongst the 3.

"Where's your father?", Misha asked Kay immediately about his father's whereabouts.

"The old man believes a darkness is coming upon Quaila and so doesn't want to be part of the corruption...", Kay said with disdain.

When the crowd heard this, the began to murmur once again, majority of them in fear.

On the far side, was Lord Palmer who had long being waiting for this. At first was displeased that Zed wasn't there but after seeing his son and hearing his comment, the fear he had been trying to dispel gripped his heart.

Lord Palmer has long know Zed and so knew how proficient his words were; this, added to the fact that he too had seen the darkness that Zed spoke of.

His expression became ugly as he watched on.

"But I say this with uttermost belief. The future can be changed!", Kay said with confidence.

On hearing this young man speak, all watched paying in-depth attention.

Especially those who had been prophesied to; because if he is right, that means the future predicted for them can be changed.

Lord Palmer was not exempted.

His expression was changed slightly.

The saying a drowning man would reach for a straw was strongly in motion for him.

Although he knew that Zed was powerful, to him this was after all his son. Maybe not as good, but the power exists in his blood.

And a full grown man appearing to be in his 40s wouldn't come up with such a serious expression unless he had proof, so Palmer watched with interest.

"I can prove it!", He added as he passed the amplifier back to Misha.

Music to everyone's ears.

"Why don't you guys come give your predictions?", Kay asked politely.

The other 2, an old man and a pretty young girl looked at him and for a moment were confused.

"Come on now?! What do you see?!", This time he asked the young girl.

On hearing this, she stepped forward like one floating, stretching forth her hand as she came close.

Kay looked at the weird looking young girl and couldn't help but wonder what her problem was.

As she came closer, the crowd began to cheer.

Kay was surprised at the crowd's reaction to her, they seem to know and love her; but he had no idea who she was.

Isabella Porsha, A.K.A "the witch" was offered to server at a temple outside Quaila. The temple was destroyed while she was still young and she was abducted with other prisoners and brought into Quaila.

She was adopted by a family and within a year, everyone in the family died mysteriously.

People suspected that she was the cause and plotted to kill her, but all who attempted to, died mysteriously. The trend was soon discovered, that was when the name witch came about.

She was left alone in the house and anytime she came out people avoided her.

Her gray dead eyes, long unkept hair, smallish nature and the fact that she was extremely light on her feet were features that made people very much afraid of her.

The people weren't wrong, Isabella was indeed a witch, she is infact a living temple. For after the destruction of the temple, the spirits began to reside in her.

Over the years, desperate times came upon people and some who felt like they had no hope, took the desperate major and approached this witch, and received an answer.

Her success rate with future predictions was 10/10.

For this reason, those who knew about her, loved, feared and respected her.
