The Prophecy

For some reason Charmeine’s electricity did not hurt Sandra, and she was smiling.
Charmeine began to glow from her head to toes.
A blue light started shining in Sandra’s hands.
Charmeine extended her hand and electricity flew past the men and hit the concrete fence pulverizing it. She let go of Sandra.
Sandra’s body began to glow with a blue hue. With a blue charge starting to crawl over her body, she blazed. Like a blow torch coming out of her hands, Sandra shot a flame at a small tree off of the terrace. It instantly burned and went into ashes.
Shane’s eyes became huge and lunged to protect her.
Dmitri had to physically hold off Shane from going over to Sandra.
Charmeine’s arms extended and her feet came off the ground.
Everyone gasped with astonishment.
She flew over them going to one end of the terrace and back about twenty feet off the ground.
Her arms looked like a butterfly because they were lit up with bright white light. Charmeine said in a big booming voice from Heaven, “I am God’s Holy Instrument, a Light-Bearer! I am on Earth to fight for justice and send Lucifer’s children to Hell! No shadows will ever block the Son!”
A crackle of thunder boomed, making each person jump.
Charmeine made thunder come down from the sky surrounding the terrace. Like an electrical jail.
The smell of electric current blew through the air.
Charmeine started to float down slowly.
With a flash of lightning, Charmeine and Sandra became normal. They looked at each other stunned. Then, they hugged while laughing.
The men stood in awe.
Dmitri’s eyes were wide with excitement, and he shouted with great joy, “Thank God! The Prophecy is fulfilled!”
Everyone looked at Dmitri in puzzlement.
However, Tabbruis was not looking at Dmitri. His heart was racing, and he gazed at Charmeine with fear and anxiety.

Dmitri cried out, “The Prophecy says the Queen of Light will sit on the throne, the King of Night will fight as her Champion, and their family will rule the Elders with truth, wisdom and justice!”
Tabbruis shouted, “No Dmitri! It cannot…She cannot…I cannot…”
“Tabbruis…God’s will be done, not yours,” Dmitri said.
It seemed the air was knocked out of his lungs, and Tabbruis tried to control the absolute dread in his heart. He thought, ‘The Prophecy is to be carried out by my family? So it is my duty to protect Charmeine? She is supposed to fight Evil?’
Tabbruis’ head was spinning. For he knew what Dmitri said was true. Charmeine was the Queen of Light, and he was the King of Night.
Dmitri held up his hands and yelled, “Praise Be to God! Finally the Elder Council will be destroyed!”
All of sudden, his face went black with foreboding, and he said, “Oh my children, the Prophecy says there will be great suffering, and a battle which will be tragic and bloody.” He turned slowly and went up the stairs leading to the Ball Room.
Everyone was baffled and tried to process the last few minutes.
However, Tabbruis felt like his shoulders had a thousand pound weight on them. His wife was the Queen of Light. His charge was to Champion and support her.
Then Dmitri turned around and said in a commanding voice, “Practice to do battle with the Elder Council begins tonight on the lawn at sunset. I suggest everyone rest,” looking at Charmeine and Sandra, “you will need it.”

Tabbruis solemnly approached Charmeine and said, “My Queen of Light, I will accompany you in battle and be your Champion.”
She shook her head and said softly, “I am no Queen. I am only a wife and mother protecting her family.” She reached her hand out to him
Tabbruis hesitated as he thought, ‘She is no longer mine…she is God’s Queen of Light.’ He took her hand and white sparks flew from it. He took her in his arms, and he lovingly kissed her. He whispered a prayer in her ear, “May I be worthy of her God.”
Charmeine whispered in his ear, “May I be worthy of him God.”
They embraced and pulled away looking in each other’s eyes.
Shane walked up to Charmeine and asked, “Mother… Char my God, how?”
“I don’t know Son,” she replied and shook her head.
Shane turned to Sandra and asked, “How, Sandra? Did you know you were a Light-Bearer?”
Sandra answered, “Surprise!” waving her hands up in the air. She became serious and said, “No, I didn’t know, but I am. Are you upset with me Shane?”
Shane looked at her with surprise. He bent down to stare in her eyes and said, “What? Babe I love you. As you accepted me, I take you just the way you are. I don’t know how or even why this happened, but it doesn’t matter. All I want is you. Babe I love you, all of you! I knew you were my fire rocket, Babe. But now, you are my eternal flame.”
Sandra’s jet black curly hair was shining in the sun, and Shane buried his face in it while he hugged her tenderly. Shane said, “I love you Sandra. From the first moment I saw you, I chose you, and it has been only you. Babe, nothing will ever change that!”
