Chapter 7

THE FORGOTTEN WOLF

Chapter 7

Prince Philip made his way outside the outskirt of the palace walls to visit a friend of his.

Someone who could tell him the meaning of his dreams.

He went into the village; no one paid him attention because he was in disguise. No one knows their king was in their presence.

He came to a halt when he saw who he was looking for, he went straight to greet the village washerman, Ben.

Ben was surprised to see Prince Philip, he was used to his disguise by now but was still surprised to see him. 

Ben a  tall young man blessed with gray eyes that young ladies love to look at. He was handsome but takes his work seriously, he loves doing charity works for the villagers, he washes clothes for free and he was highly recognized among the villagers. He possesses hidden powers of visions that no one knows except the Prince. He can see into your past at the mere glance of your palm or your eyes to see your future. He and the Prince had met when Prince Philip went hunting one sunny day, he and the Prince shot on the same game. They were surprised when they saw each other, Prince Philip kind in heart told the young man to go with the game, that he would look for another one. That was how a friendship was build between those two.

"What is it my prince", Ben whispered quietly.

"Can we talk in a more private place, its important". 

Ben gestured for the Prince to follow him in the inner most chambers of where he washes the villagers clothes, having making sure they were alone he asked the Prince again.

"What is it my Prince?" 

"I have been having some strange nightmares lately".

"What nightmares my Prince?" Ben asked softly.

"A girl, I think we are lovers. I saw her dying in my arms and I saw myself promising the girl to wait for her. I saw a war, I think. Look, Ben, you have gifts of interpretation of dreams that was why I sought you out, to help me interpret this strange dreams I keep on having every night". Prince Philip told Ben.

"Okay, stretch your palms to me",

The Prince did as he was told, Ben peer down into his arms, his forehead wrinkle in concentration. After a while he stare at the Prince his eyes and balls now violet.

"Someone blocked your memories, whoever did this I think was trying to protect you. Go and ask your father, he knows more. There is a story behind your dreams".

"I don't get you, speak more clearing".

"Your dreams and your past are connected, the bond between you and the girl you saw in your dreams are stronger and can never be broken; I think, perhaps, you might have met with her previously because she has been reborn; maybe that is why you keep on those dreams".

"You are somewhat right, I think I met someone who looks exactly like the girl in my dreams, when I was in Crescent kingdom in my disguise".

"The answers you seek are within you, ask your father". His eyes went back to his normal gray eyes.

"Thank you Ben, I owe you one". Prince Philip thanked the young man again and left for his palace.

He was going to have a word with his father.

The old man better tell him the truth.

****************

Queen Annabel was not at peace, she was pacing round her room. After the high priestess left, she quickly excuse herself and left for her chambers.

'If Arizona is back won't old feelings re surface again after so many years?'

Annabel thought to herself.

No something must be done.

She has to visit them again for a much stronger magic to keep the king from knowing his mate.

"All these years I thought the stupid wolf was dead, why would the high priestess opened an old wound again?" Annabel asked no one in particular.

She has to stop Arizona, she has to kill the wolf once and for all.

She was to rule all kingdom like she was promised.

She had used magic on the king to wage a war 90,000 years ago. She had made sure Odin was killed.

But what baffles her was Arizona.

How did she escaped from the claws of death?

Would the king remembered his true mate?

No everything must be the way it was supposed too.

She will kill anything that stands in her way.

No one knows the real her.

"Black shadow",

A shadow was seen in the wall.

"Kill the two guards sent to announce the message. After that come back, you have a message to take for me to the Elite sisters".

The black shadow disappeared.

Queen Annabel smiled evily.

Her plans will work again, since she had killed the one to end her 90,000 years ago.
