His Blue Moon Princess
Chapter 103

"...When?"

I raise my head, but my brother is actually asking Sylviana. She sighs but keeps taking care of the flowers surrounding Nora, very calmly.

"I already told you, I cannot predict that."

"Didn't you say you were a seer?" He asks, annoyed.

"It does not work like that. She will come back when she's ready."

My brother is displeased with her answers, but as always, Sylviana is incredibly calm. Like Nora, my girlfriend's immune to Alpha auras. It's probably for the better, considering my brother's temper...

Even I don't know the extent of Sylviana's powers. She doesn't talk about her witch side often, and never explains much either. Most of the time, I can only be amazed by her powers... She helped me numerous times escape territories, and she can hide me effortlessly. She is good at figuring links between people too. She knew William, Elena, and Nora were related as soon as she saw each of them. I was against Nora meeting that crazy guy, but Sylviana still insisted that it was necessary... Hell, no way I would've been there if she didn't have my back! And also because it was to protect Nora, too.

I still don't get why she made sure William knew about Nora's existence, but not Elena's... Is it because of the baby?

"The dark witch... Where is she?" Suddenly asks my brother.

I see Bobo raise his head to look at Sylviana, waiting for the answer too. I'm the same. Even if things are going alright right now, none of us has forgotten about the threat over Silver City... And things were tense for the recent few months Sylviana left Silver City, too. She was only gone from early May to the end of the Summer, but it was the worst period. We were lucky the other witch did realize she had left and consequently attacked.

"She's still nearby, waiting... A few miles away to the east, probably."

"Why don't we go and attack her?" Asks Damian.

I know why my brother is so impatient. He would want that Witch gone before Nora's awakening. Because if she comes back now, she will still be in danger... But Sylviana shakes her head.

"I already said we can't. There will be a battle, but not now. It is too soon, I told you."

"What are we waiting for, then?"

This time, Sylviana frowns, looking angry. Her eyes get much darker when she's like that... Tonia suddenly enters the room, and Bobo gets up at the same time. The big wolf jumps down from Nora's bed, probably uncomfortable from the tension between the two. He walks next to his sister, who stopped at the entrance, unsure about the situation, sensing the pressure. I'm not feeling great either, I may be an Alpha, but my brother is still way stronger... And it's not pleasant to be in the same room as an angry Witch either. She may be a good Witch, but Sylviana is still damn powerful.

"I already told you. I will not go after her first, and she won't attack until she's sure she can win the fight. And she wants the Moon Power. She will make sure Nora is there, and she can win."

"What do you mean, she would make sure she can win? How can we wait if that's the case? You have something to ruin her plans, right?" Asks Tonia, worried.

Sylviana looks down, her anger melting like ice under the sun.

"I do have a plan."

"And it would be too much to ask of you to share it I suppose?" Says Tonia with a sigh.

"I cannot reveal it to you. That's the thing with the future. Say too much, and the balance shifts the wrong way... We are already walking on a fragile thread. The next few years will be decisive."

With her words, a long silence befalls in the room. I look at Nora. Moon Goddess, I hope she comes back soon. Sylviana's words really make me doubt about this future she was talking about. What's worse is that my girlfriend won't say a word about it. And sometimes, I'm just scared about what she knows.

*Hours later. *

I don't even know why I'm doing this. I'm pulling a whole oak tree behind me. It's very heavy, too, and leaving a significant trail behind us... Sylviana is walking in front of me, enlightening the way with a torch lamp. It must be midnight or so. I have no idea what she has in mind, or why I'm doing this. Why did she ask me? Her biggest butterfly is happily flying around us. I like her butterflies. They are of various colors, always following her like a little cloud of flapping wings. "We're almost there."

I don't answer, I'm too tired and out of breath. This is weird, even for Sylviana. Venturing in a desert area, some wild empty land in the outskirts of Silver City, in the middle of the night, like we're hiding something. She didn't even tell Liam... Suddenly, she stops.

"Can you put it there?" She asks.

Her finger indicates a big desert area. Alright... I just hope we aren't doing all this for nothing. I push the massive tree in the spot she wanted and take a few steps back. What now?

She suddenly takes something small and shiny from her pocket. Isn't that one of the Boss' lighters? Before I can understand a thing, she suddenly puts the big tree on fire. What is that for? I watch that big chunk of wood burning for a few minutes, by Sylviana's side. Her eyes closed, she's reciting something like a prayer, though I don't understand it. Witchcraft mystery...

"Bobo? I need you to dig there. Please?"

I sigh. More manual labor. Do I get to nap after this? I listen to hear once again and start digging. Well, it's a dog thing anyway, so it's kind of fun for me. The soil is easy to dig, too, because it's night time and everything is more or less humid. After half an hour, I'm in a big hole, my fur covered in soil. It's about three meters deep and just as big. Sylviana jumps in to join me, visibly satisfied with it.

"Alright, thanks. You should get out now."

I nod and jump out. A bit tired after all that, I just sit at the edge to look what she's doing now. She's on all fours, drawing and scribbling some stuff with a little wooden stick. I don't get all that witchy thing she's doing. It seems really secret too... Is it about the Dark Witch? That future she mentioned earlier?

What's this, Sylviana?

"I'm making a bet, Bobo."

A bet? Odd. To me, it just seems like a burning tree and a hole. I stare at both. Mh, too complicated...

After a while, Sylviana jumps out of the hole and asks me to help her push all of the tree's ashes into it. It takes us almost an hour to finish pouring in into that hole, and after that, covering it with the soil again.

So, we just buried some ashes. I give her a stare. She sighs, and gets down on her knees, caressing the little area we messed around with.

"Don't worry, Bobo. This is... For the better."

You don't sound so confident.

She smiles sadly.

"... Let's just say, I hope we never need to get to plan B."

What is the plan B? But she doesn't add anything else and gets up, turning around. I follow her, though I'm curious about whatever it is we just did.

"Bobo, go home and don't ever tell anyone what we just did."

Are you afraid I'll talk? To Liam, or the Boss?

"I know you won't, you good wolf."

Why? Because you trust me?

"No."

She gives me a kiss on top of my head, and I suddenly feel hella dizzy. What did she just... I feel my strength leaving me, and I fall slowly on my side. I only hear a whisper before closing my eyes... "... Because you will have forgotten everything before the sun rises, good Bobo."
