Chapter Text
Lizi stared into the crackling fire at the centre of her home, the Kelp-like walls of its interior illuminating a bright orange-yellow.
As she slowly walked around the large flame, holding her staff out towards it at an acute angle, she recited the enchantment passed down from the long generations of Jellywitches.
“Oh Great Manta of the world who’s glory and might feeds this flame.
Here me now as a descendant of the Jellywitch clans.
I come before you seeking answers and knowledge.
The future of one of your subjects hangs in uncertainty.
Without which, Ramechi will surely be plunged into darkness once more!”
She raised her arms as the flame burst higher above her and shone a bright Scarlet.
As it simmered down to just above Lizi’s head,
The Spirit of the Manta roared through to her.
She replied:-
“He goes by the name of Gemini Delta and he possesses great power,
Far more than I or any of my matrons have witnessed before.
He is untamed and reckless.
But with time, he can show great diligence.
He could become a great hero.
Though I know not of his path.
Please show me what you know”
The flame roared once again and Lizi gazed into the searing heat.
“Oh, I see”
She said in response to the visions of which only she saw.
“Then I will make it my duty to ensure this future comes to be,”
Lizi blinked and the flame died back down slightly.
“I thank you Great Manta,” She said bowing before the flame,
“Return now to your rest and I shall see to his efforts,”
The flame roared once more before shrinking back down to a small little flame in the centre of the room.
Lizi turned around,
“Then I must play this carefully. Very carefully indeed,”
She walked out of her hut to the Dene Valley swamp and watched as the sunset began to sink.
“But for now, rest easy heroes. We have a lot ahead of us,”
