Chapter 44 - The Ancient Prophecy

Avery's mind was reeling with the implications of Julian's words . An ancient prophecy ? A crucial role to play in shaping the future ? It all sounded like something out of a fantasy novel .

But Julian's expression was dead serious . " Avery , I know this is a a lot to take in ," he said . " But I've seen things , experienced things that I never thought possible . And I know that we're meant for something greater ."

Avery felt a shiver run down her spine as Julian's eyes locked onto hers . She knew that he was telling the truth , that he genuinely believed in this ancient prophecy .

But what did it all mean ?

" Tell me more ," Avery said , her voice barely above a whisper .

Julian nodded , taking a deep breath . " The prophecy speaks of two individuals , chosen by the gods themselves to shape the course of history . They're said to possess unique abilities , abilities that will allow them wield immense power and bring about a new era of peace and prosperity ."

Avery's eyes widened as she listened , her mind racing with the possibilities . Could it be true ? Were she and Julian really chosen for something greater ?

As she looked at Julian , she saw the conviction in his eyes , the unwavering belief that they were meant for something more . And in that moment , Avery knew that she was all in . She was ready to embark on this journey with Julian , no matter where it might lead .

But as they stood there , the air was filled with an eerie silence . It was as if the world itself was holding its breath , waiting to see what they would do next .

And then , without warning , Ryker appeared at Avery's side , his eyes fixed intently on Julian . " What's going on here ?" he asked , his voice low and even .

Avery felt a surge of unease as she looked at Ryker , wondering what he would make of Julian's claims . Would he think they were crazy ?

As the tension between the three of them grew , Avery knew that she had to make a choice . Would she stand by Julian , or would she side with Ryker ?

The fate of their journey , and perhaps even the world , hung in the balance .
