The Flame Games

REVEALING THE FUTURE

"..... So here I am to finally conclude your future." Paige said in a soft hum.

Victoria, Lavender and Ava sat in a upright position in their chairs in front of the witch. The only sound in the tent was of their even breaths. Paige was the famous witch of the werewolf world. Her stare was concentrated on the crystal ball in front of her on the table. Ava nudged Victoria who was lost in her own trance, who gave Ava a side-glance.

"Why isn't she speaking anything? Are we in for a meditation camp" Ava telepathically said in Victoria's head. In reply Victoria just shrugged. At that moment, Paige opened her eyes and looked at them. She had a look of hope in her eyes. Her brown eyes locked on Lavender and she smiled a wide grin.

"Is she crazy? Making us sit like this and then just smile and say nothing." Ava spoke in their minds.

"Patience dear. I will tell you everything." Paige said, as if she had heard what Ava spoke in their minds.

"Today is a very special day indeed, the three flames are going to be officially crowned as the alpha of their packs. This process might seem very simple and carefree but being an alpha of the pack means not only physical changes, but brings in a lot of responsibility. But I am sure you can handle that very well."Paige said, hands folded on the table.

"Well that's what everyone has been telling us. We came here with the hope that you will speak some sense, but duh, here you are talking the same things as if we never knew them" Ava said, clearly frustrated. Victoria nudged hen in her rib with elbow and calmed her down.

"Please Paige, tell us the real matter. That is the only reason of our arrival." Lavender said.

"I am not gonna talk any goods now. Straight to the point. You three flames will be crowned tonight. So your task starts tonight itself. Get it through your mind, this all is not as easy as it seems. Your ancestors were IMMORTALS, very powerful ones. They had the hold over the world. But ever since the decline of your genes, the order of the world is getting highly-disturbed. None of your last few ancestors were capable enough to maintain their hold of power. Your kingdoms have become half of their earlier size. But the real hope are you . You have the power to expand and protect your kingdom. The task given to you by The Brown Immortals, is to protect our world, maintain the order and if necessary, even defeat the mighty White Immortals. Remember, there is no turning back on this path, you have to complete the task and survive. Always remember, You are each others power." Paige finished, with a face dead serious.

"What! We have to defeat the White Immortals, that's impossible." Victoria exclaimed, eyes wide.

"Oh and please don't start with your 'nothing-is-impossible-in-this-world' shit. There is no way we are gonna defeat them. Do you even have an idea how powerful they are? Might just tear you into pieces in just seconds." Lavender spat.

"And who told you that you can't do the same?" Paige smirked. Her statement caught them off-guard. They looked at her in utter disbelief. Paige shook her head and said,

"Your ancestors, they were Immortals, the most powerful ones. And as history repeats itself so does their genes. You three here, do you even have an idea why you are called The Three Flames?" They just shook their head in defence.

Paige sighed, " That's because you have the ability to become Immortals. But, to become one of them you have to do lot of work and of course might I tell, a lot of experience."

"Well that's a lot of information to take in. " Lavender said, looking at both of the other she-wolves.

"Ok, we got all of this. By becoming the alpha of the pack we are practically planning our journey through hell-hole. But that's fine really, making some 20 year olds to go through all of this. Totally fine." Ava rolled her eyes and crossed her hand on her chest.

"I told you what I had to. See, all the kingdoms now have faith in you, hope you would finally bring some peace in their life. You just can't ignore your duty. You are very intelligent. And your ultimate power lies ahead in your path. Please, you have to do this. We all will always be there to help you." Three of them just kept looking when finally Victoria broke the silence.

"We will do it. For everyone's sake. I promise."

"That would be pretty lame of us to just ignore our task." Lavender said, looking confident.

"Alright, Count me in too." Ava said, looking somewhat guilty for what she said earlier. Paige smiled.

"One more thing, my brave girls. I am sure you haven't met your mates till now?" the three shook their head solomenly.

"Well, you will meet your mates sooner or later this year. They will too join your task and help you. Old ties are about to loosen up, and you will understand their existence." Paige said the last sentence looking at Victoria with a smirk.

"Thanks Paige for your help and telling us the truth. That means a lot." Lavender said, getting up from her seat, followed by Victoria and Ava.

"Special thanks for telling us about our mates." Ava said with a wink. "See you tonight in the ceremony."

They turned around to leave when Paige called,

"Lavender, you are going to meet your mate tonight. Be ready." And Lavender blushed while the others teased her.
