Right after the Great Oracle took down the assassin that tried to attack Selene from the shadows, the assassin just disintegrated into ashes.

The Doppelganger which the Great Oracle summoned disappeared as well.

​​

"Woah! Someone must have made a serious attempt on you Selene …" Chloe remarked at the sight of the assassin disintegrating.

"Of course … the attempt on your life and the danger that you have to face has begun." The Great Oracle informed Selene.

Shaken and surprised that someone has started its move against her already.

-Moments After-

Upon the report of Selene being almost killed but no conclusive evidence to point out the mastermind of it.

Lucas assigned the Great Oracle, Chloe and Queen Titania to accompany Selene as her body guards and retinue. While Susan and Magdeline had to help him devise a protective spells and barriers that could help them against the army of King Viktor as a condition for them to stay.

[-In the private chamber of Selene-]

Selene refused to leave her older brother despite the advice of the Great Oracle.

"You are more in danger here! We must complete your process of becoming the next ruler. To finally officiate your authority as the next ruler of all supernatural beings." The Great Oracle informed Selene of the importance of completing her process in becoming the next ruler of all supernatural beings.

"What if I do not want to?" Selene replied.

"You cannot refuse because it is your destiny to become one …" Queen Titania reiterated the destiny of Selene as the next ruler of all supernatural beings.

"What destiny? To become a target of all dark and evil creatures? I prefer to pass on it. Give the job to someone else!" Selene insisted on not taking the role of the next ruler of all supernatural beings.

The Great Oracle calmly moved and stood by the window pane before speaking his mind.

"Eventually, things will come in place and you will understand the fate of a chosen one but you must also remember … Being the ruler of all supernatural being is not that bad as well. You get the chance to save those lives that you treasure so much and those innocent souls …" The Great Oracle was not finished in explaining when Selene interjected.

"All of you keep insisting on my destiny as the next chosen one … But have all of you asked me if I want this? I lost too many and I do not want to lose more … I do understand the importance of saving many lives but I want to be selfish! I want to choose my own destiny. Not the one preordained by prophecies or divine calling. Because what gives any of you the right to dictate how I should live my life. For the longest time in my life … I finally found someone I want to be with and not let go of … I want to stay by his side and if becoming the next ruler of all supernatural being will hinder me on that … Then I would prefer for all of you to find somebody else. NOT ME!!" Selene emotionally elaborated her disinterest in becoming the next ruler of all supernatural being.

"I hope you understand that the destiny of the next chosen one is something … out of our hands. We also did not choose you! You were simply the one … given to us as well. We had no choice as well but the divine creator chose you and not us!" The Great Oracle clarified to Selene with calmness and genuine intentions.

Selene clenched her fists in frustration.

Chloe empathized for Selene and wanted to comfort her but she doesn't know where to start.

The Great Oracle continued,

"If only we can transfer choose the next supreme ruler, we could have done it by now but I am sorry if you have to go through hardship and more pain because of your destiny. But let me ask you, would you want others to experience all the pain, loss, and tears you shed to anyone. Think about those others who will experience more than those … even death will come to plenty. Unimaginable numbers of soul will suffer once you refuse the destiny itself. Are you willing for this outcome to happen? You may find the solace in the arms of the one you love. But will you be happy in a world where evil and darkness prevail?" The Great Oracle looked at Selene with serious look on his eyes.

Tears started to fall in Selene's eyes.

"Why life is too cruel on me? WHHYYY??? I am not that strong like others perceive me to be. Can't I be happy? Am I only destined to suffer and go through never ending pain for the peace of everyone?" Selene asked the Great Oracle with great pain in her voice.

Queen Titania and Chloe fell silent on Selene's words because they realized that in exchange of the world and the peace that they crave for is Selene's own happiness as well.

Even the Great Oracle realized the sufferings and all the pain that a chosen one once they become the supreme ruler of all supernatural beings.

At that moment, The Great Oracle took a deep breath and decided on something which will change the course of the future.

He was not planning to do so because it would break a lot of divine laws for what he had in mind.

"What if I tell you … you can find happiness as well once you accept your destiny as the next chosen one?" The Great Oracle offered to Selene.

"G-great Oracle! Is that even possible?" Queen Titania asked.

"Yes … but with great consequences!" The Great Oracle stated to the queen of fairies.

Selene stopped in her cries and lend all her attention to the Great Oracle.

A sudden light shrouded the Great Oracle and his eyes turned completely white.
