《Another World and I'm still rich?》Chapter 6. The Seer
Advertisement
I walk up the stairs for many hours and when I reach the top I see a wooden door.
I reach to open it but somebody opens it for me and smacks me in the face with it.
I almost fall down all the stairs and possibly killed myself...
I see an old woman standing in the doorway
"Oh! You are here Child! Come right in!" (Woman)
I walk in and she closes the door.
"Follow me then, child." (Woman)
The old woman starts walking and opens another wooden door after we go through a corridor.
"The Seer is in that room." (Woman)
"Wait, you aren't the seer?" (Colin)
"No! I don't have powers like my grandchild." (Woman)
"Oh... Sorry for misunderstanding." (Colin)
I enter the room and the old woman waves and closes the door.
"So you finally got up here.. I've been waiting for weeks now." (Seer)
I see a young woman drinking a glass of what seems to be wine and looking out of a balcony.
"I'm sorry that I didn't get here sooner... I didn't even know of you until a few days ago." (Colin)
"It's no problem. You actually came earlier than I expected..." (Seer)
She puts the glass down and walks towards me and suddenly stops and crosses her arms.
"Hmm... My vision told me you'd be weaker... I guess my visions aren't perfect." (Seer)
"I've been training..." (Colin)
I look at the Seer and she is a tall busty woman wearing hanfu aka ancient chinese clothing... A red hanfu with dragons on it...
The seer snickers a little after she notices me staring at her.
"Sorry for staring at you!" (Colin)
I bow for forgivness.
"Ah, it's fine. I don't get many visitors and the people that come up here always stare at my beauty and don't notice anything I say until I snap them out of it by hitting them." (Seer)

I stop bowing and she comes even closer to me and grabs my hand and brings it infront of her.
I notice a very small and almost unnoticable mark on my hand that is now glowing due to the Seer I think...
"So you did get the mark... Good... That means no bad surprises for me." (Seer)
She lets go and sits on a table at the balcony and gestures for me to sit and I do so.
"I am sure you have many questions. Ask three questions only though. We don't have much time." (Seer)
"Well... What is this mark? What does it do?" (Colin)
"It's the Mark of The First. In the books it is said that everybody that is the first of his or her species has this mark. It should give bonuses over time based on the progress of the person." (Seer)
"What am I destined to do?" (Colin)
"That, not even I know. I usually know what everybody is destined to do even if they have the most complicated destiny ever. Yours... I can't. I've tried many times..." (Seer)
"My final question is... What shall happen to me now?" (Colin)
"Well... You are going to take me back to Vivian's manor until a certain war breaks out and you are forced to fight on the front lines as a soldier.
Me and Vivian wait for you for many days and thanks to the fact I cannot see your destiny I don't know if you will live or die. I only know that you will fight in the war and no more." (Seer)
"Oh... And why should I take you with me though? Wouldn't it be better for you to be here?" (Colin)
"I must come. I need to assist you in your destiny. I've had a few visions about things that include you but those visions... They were not pleasant. I must come with you to help you with those visions. One of those visions was the war..." (Seer)

"Alright then. We should go then right? We have no time right?" (Colin)
"Yes. Yes we should." (Seer)
"I don't know your name though, Seer" (Colin)
"My name is... Athestine Balcan. Call me Athy though." (Athy)
"Nice to meet you, Athy. I'm Colin Tyccus" (Colin)
"It's nice to meet you too, Colin." (Athy)
Athy gets up and walks out of the door and I follow her.
We spend hours walking down the staircase and when we reach the bottom the guards drop their jaws when she comes through the door before me.
We leave to the King's Throneroom and Athy talks to the King about coming with me to the Terafell Mansion.
The King allows Athy to go and then we go to the King's Visitor's Manor where Vivian, Silan and the rest are resting for the trip back home.
When we reach the manor everybody was already asleep because it was night and me and Athy took two vacant rooms and went to sleep aswell because of the tiring trip back down the stairs.
When morning comes up... Something unexpected happens. Something I never prepeared for or thought to prepeare for yet.

I am using this short story collection as a way to test the waters before I seriously consider publishing a novel. As English isn't my mother tongue, I would appreciate it if native speakers, anglicists or any other proficient users of the English language could kindly inform me about any mistakes in grammar or word choice so that I may correct it. The same applies to any sentence or paragraph that may sound unnatural in English.
