The Oracle and the heir left the survivor in the door of the observatory.
A session with the Moon is something that the Oracle would normaly do alone, but today she was with Mara, the child the Moon foresaw coming, she trained the heir indirectly through the Oracle all these years, and even gave her the Moon's Blessing, something that no one but the oracles had recived before. The Oracle knew today was the day Mara was ready to talk to the Moon directly, after all, she just defeated the Ruler.
-Okay... how does this works what magic tricks do we need to do?
The Oracle responded while pulling a lever that opened the ceiling.
Now the Moon was visible, enourmous in the night sky, beautiful in the way only she was capable to be.
-And now, we stay quiet while she speaks.
Mara was anxious, she was still not sure if she was supposed to be there, she was supposedly a really big deal in the universe, but she never really had to face that, most of the universe forgot about the King and his heir, almost no one looks for it nowadays so she never really felt part of the big scheme of things like Oracle always told her, in her planet berely anyone knows about her heritege, even the ones who know barely consider it a big deal compared to the Oracle and her conection to the Moon, fighting against the rule didn't make her feel special, people died because she wasn't experienced enough, banishing him felt easy, almost as natural as waving her hand.
-There is no time to be anxious Mara, the heir of the King, we have a lot to talk about.
-Oh great Moon, it is a pleasure to have your light shine directly to me, it will be a true blessing to have a conversation with you.
-I see you have thought the kid good manners my oracle.
-Of course master, the same way you did to me.
-Yes, but now for the matter at hand, the boy at the door, you wish to know his future.
-I can't influence in his future, the boy is already marked.
-He has already been claimed, I can't guide him like I guided you, if the boy wants power, neither me nor my oracle will be able to help him.
-Well, that satles it, well send him home them.
-Wait, the Moon said you culdn't help him, what about me? Can I influence his future?
-Yes, I'm happy you were able to conect the dots alone, as the Heir of the King you could train him, but the boy isn't magic by nature, you will have to find other ways, eventually your paths will diverge and he will need to listen to his call and awaken his mark, you won't be able to help him in that quest, and its better if you don't try, but you don't have to worry for him , he will find others in his way, they will be able to help him.
-Thank you for your knowledge great Moon. Come Mara, our conversation has ended
