Divine Intervention

Four weeks ago

Adira was stalking prey, specifically, her brother. The most dangerous and sadistic man she had ever met. She knew that he would interfere with Rapunzel's group going through the Great Tree, and she needed to eliminate him now. She expected it to be a hard task, what she didn't expect was to be pulled into a fortune telling tent by a woman bundled up in layers of cloaks. Especially since she was in a cave. In the middle of a forest. With no towns nearby. What a day that was.

"Why is there a crow on your desk?"

The woman seemed suddenly to remember that there was another person in her tent despite being the one to drag Adira in. She quickly took her hood off and Adira saw she was a girl in her late teens, with black hair and greyish eyes. "Apologies, apologies. My mind is often elsewhere after drinking a divination enhancer potion."

She placed her hand on the crow's head and muttered something, in a matter of seconds the crow was not a crow but a very disgruntled Hector. "Do that ever again and I will have you and your entire clan skinned alive and your entrails dragged across a dying river!"

The girl had the gall to giggle. Hector glowered in his sister's direction. "Alright, that's quite enough sibling rivalry, you two. We have important matters to discuss," she said as she calmly sat down.

"State your name or I shall claim your head before Hector's!" Adira finally snapped.

"Jeez, siblings are really alike no matter how much they despise each other. Thank the gods my brother's dead. Anyway, nice people call me Madam Cheri but call me Cheri if you're rude, I guess."

Before the two could comment, Cheri continued, "Anyway, basically I called you here because someone payed me to predict two people's future and to tell you two what to do to stop it from happening. Their names are Cassandra and Varian and, boy do they have interesti-"

"What do you mean called us here? Your tent appeared out of nowhere." Adira interrupted.

"That's what you find wrong with this, sister?"

Cheri cleared her throat in a stern manner. "To cut to the chase, in order for the Moonstone's power not to be abused and to stop hundreds of deaths, you must separate Cassandra from her group during these dates. Additionally, keep a close eye on Varian and make sure he does not interfere nor meet the group. Lest it happen," she said as she handed Adira and Hector a piece of paper each.

The two were dumbfounded and the girl continued as she stood up, "Alright, got it? Okay, also make sure you interfere in nothing else!"

She pushed them out of the tent as Hector was trying to ask, "But who the hell are-?!"

They landed on their butts in the cave, and when they turned around the tent simply was not there. Adira sighed.
