Chapter 11: chapter 11
Due to safety reasons they decided to leave the sanctuary and find a quiet environment where Diana will have a normal upbringing. When Diana reached sixteen years old, she was supposed to be brought back to the sanctuary and begin her training but who knew that she'll fall in love with David.
After Fiona tried to persuade Diana from marrying David, Diana became more rebellious. The leaders decided to let her choose her own path until the day that she couldn't escape her destiny.
Fiona accepted the leaders decision but when she foresaw a disaster befalling Diana in the Palace. After her vision, she tried everything she could to contact Diana but she was rejected time and time again. Eventually she stopped trying but she didn't stay far from the palace.
To make sure that Diana will never have any contact with them again, David sent his men to kill them but they escaped back to the sanctuary. After staying in the sanctuary for a few months Fiona had another vision of Diana Diana escaping the Palace. Therefore they sent out a few men to wait for Diana to escape the Palace.
Though they eventually found Diana it was already too late as she was heavily injured. Master David's men continously tried to find Diana, making it hard to bring her back to the sanctuary. They found another woman's mutilated body and disguised it as Diana.
Master David's men stopped their searching. But soon after the resumed their search for Diana. When David's men stopped their search Fiona found an opportunity of taking Diana out of the caves they were hiding in and brought her back to the sanctuary.
After listening to her mother, Diana felt ashamed of her previous behaviour. Her parents did everything they could to ensure her safety but she couldn't see it. She didn't understand the weight of her mother's gift. Being able to see the future and have no way of stopping or changing it was a burden that one could never get used to.
Diana: "father, mother, I haven't been a good daughter to you. I hope you can forgive me. I promise to change and make you proud. I'll be the one protecting you from now on."
Frank: "I knew you are a sensible girl. Mmh, from now on I have no worries. Now, how about you rest for the next few days as we wait for the council meeting."
Fiona: "yes, you should rest. Don't think about the past anymore. Don't let the past define who you are or whom you want to be."
Diana nodded, "yes father. Yes, mother."
For the next few days, Diana rested in her room. The day of the council meeting arrived. Frank and Fiona escorted Diana to the council conference hall which was in an ancient circular building at the centre of the sanctuary.
Inside the hall there were five majestic kinglike chairs on a slightly high platform. Below there were ten chairs on the left and right side of the platform. Then there was a hundred chairs were facing the platform.
The five chairs were the chairs of the five leaders of each sanctuary. The twenty chairs were for the elders of each sanctuary, then the hundred chairs were for the guests or parties that were invited or summoned by the council. The leaders and elders were already seated. A few other people were also seated on the side of the hundred chairs.
Diana was only familiar with master Henry and elder Sandra. Frank and Fiona led her to the platform and bowed to the leaders. Diana followed her parents lead and bowed to the leaders. They took their seats on the first row of the 100 seats.
Master Henry: "we are here today to discuss on Diana's case. We recently dispatched a team for her rescue and we even tried to create a way to make her seem that she's dead but her pursuers haven't given up. This has caused a great concern to us as leaders because we don't want anything that will cause harm to any of us.
Now, Diana can you explain to us of what happened when you were outside and why they can still tell that you're still alive?"
Diana nodded, stood up and told them of what transpired. After she was done, she took her seat and waited for the leaders solution. Everyone in the hall was in deep thoughts especially the leaders. They knew the danger of the God race tribe.
The leaders gathered together and discussed it among themselves and after coming to a decision they addressed Diana.
Master Greg: "Diana, I want you to know that the council shall deal with the problem outside so you don't have to worry about it. What I want to ask is, are you ready for the seal of your powers to be removed?"
Diana nodded and bowed to the leaders, "yes sir, I am ready."
Master Greg: "very well. We shall break the seal and let your powers be unleashed. You have to remember not to let that power control you, you are the one in control. There hasn't been anyone like you in any of the sanctuaries so no one understands the extent of those powers but we shall all guide you."
Diana: "thank you, master."
Master Greg waved his hand and elder Sandra, elder Samantha, Fiona and master Henry surrounded Diana. Diana was asked to kneel then the four of them released their inner strength which transformed into ancient runes that converged into a flaming sphere and entered into Diana's body.
