Crown of Thorns

CHAPTER 9

Translator & editor : Cuties

When I flipped the deck of cards, the future was back again.

Light will set the darkness aside, and give me eternal rest.

The future of the young warriors was also back. I couldn’t understand, but I decided to believe this situation. That I woke up from a long dream. As I often had precognitive dreams before, I also saw the future this time. It was a horribly long and vivid dream, but it’s so small and insignificant price to pay for seeing the future. Compared to the time I’ve actually spent, this dream was nothing.

And I decided to think calmly because there must be a reason for me to go through this.

I used to tell the future through fortune-telling and my foresight, but not to this extent. I could never tell what changes were going to be enticed by my choices, exactly what the consequences were going to be, and what my future, not others’, was like.

After the young man died, my future had disappeared. Which meant that the light that the divination referred to, was indeed him. I kept fighting and pushing so that I wouldn’t be swallowed up by the darkness, but it didn’t work and my efforts did not change the future, which could only mean that my method was wrong.

Nevertheless, being able to see the future meant that there was a way. It meant that I still had options left.

One only option, in fact.

Protecting the young warrior.

I had no choice but to take care of him so that he could not die until his light grew and he led the darkness away. Instead of pushing him away, I had to keep him by my side and watch over him.

The witch trapped in the tower decided to raise the young warrior.

Until he grew up and brought the darkness to an end.
