No Faith In The Prophecy To Come?

BOOM! A body hit the floor hard and groaned when given a hand to get up, as the Spellcaster checked her over to make sure she was all right, or worse. "Ohh, what happened?" Still, a bit dazed from the explosion, had temporary amnesia, very temporarily as her mind suddenly started clearing up from the problematic outcome of what just happened to them! As she was slowly moved to a sitting up position from the floor.

"Oh no! I'm coming, hold on!" Panicked as soon as they heard the explosion ran over to where it originated from and saw her, a fellow Sage, groaning a bit, face flat out on the floor! "That's what I wanted to know. Don't you remember, L. Faba, you were…," looking over at the bubbling caldron, the smoking and stinking mess inside it, was quite evidently visible now what had just happened, or she was doing, "making a potion and your potion caused an explosion." Helping L. Faba to sit up, Morgyn picked her half-limp body up from the middle as she was still a bit stunned and helped her to sit up at least so that they could check her over. Suddenly Morgyn was taken aback and recoiling at what they saw! "Are you okay, did you get…? Ugh ewww, oh, you're green, and you look horrid!"

L. Faba, to her shock, saw her now green hands and arms and felt her face which was wrinkled and awful feeling, she then realized to her horror, "I'm cursed!"

"Ugh, you certainly are, ugh, ohh, the worst one. It could have been the pedo hugs of Awkward Embraces, or, better yet, the Infectious Laughter, but no, you got the green Martian look, the Curse of Repulsiveness. Oh gosh, ugh, I'm gonna barf!" It was too overwhelming the need to vomit, and poor Morgyn couldn't even try to run off to the bathroom to try to puke in the toilet, and did it right there on the floor a few feet away from L. Faba!

Sobbing, she begged, "Morgyn, help me, please, if you can." There was a spell, she was sure, Morgyn knew, on how to remove this curse from her. Or at least Morgyn could make it, the potion for her, to remove it. As she did not feel capable right now, of doing that, nor had the supplies. Or at least not wanting to go out like this, and try to purchase them to then try to make it, especially if it was even for sale, be it the potion, and or the ingredients at Caster's Ally, to make the potion to remove the curse.

Too busy puking their guts out, to do a thing, had quipped once the waves of queasy nausea had seemingly passed and kept their eyes tightly shut, to not look at her and have it hit again. "Ohh man, oh oooh ohh, and here, I had wondered, what it would be like, ugh, ohh to have morning sickness, what it was like, to feel sick from that. Oh, now I know, what it's like, ugh, ohh, unh, now I know, unh, and I'm ha, ha, kinda glad, heh, ugh glad I… ugh, ohh," throwing up again.

L. Faba had honestly thought mistaken Morgyn for a male, and others had also often mistaken Morgyn for a female, as well. Not without good reason, Morgyn was quite androgynous in the face and looked quite feminine and masculine, and was easily mistaken for both. Plus, Morgyn wore eyeliner as well, not that a few other Spellcaster males didn't do that as well, and looked good with it on. But only Morgyn out of the males, however, wore lip-gloss as well, which was a bit odd for a male to do but had suited Morgyn, especially to the androgynous look they sported. L. had honesty thought Morgyn did that for sport or amusement, to get a rise out of others to the confusion of their gender unless they were gay or bi. Only to now seemingly realize the truth. "What do you mean you are actually a…girl and wait, what? Oh, I am so sorry, I thought you were a guy and, wait, what?"

"Ugh-mmm," trying to control the nausea long enough, held up a finger, and shook their head, Morgyn would try to answer the question in due time. But first things are first. Very compassionately, Morgyn waved their wand and recited the incantation and the movements they had learned to use the spell and commanded, "Decursify!" Suddenly as the spell hit L. Faba, she was returned to her normal complexion, the Curse of Repulsiveness completely removed!

"Sigh, thank you so much, Morgyn." Mischievously, she chuckles as she stands up, and she goes over to play a friendly joke prank on her fellow Sage friend. "Here, have a nice pedo, hug…and tickles, on me, for that," saying that after she got her arms around Morgyn in a friendly embrace hug. Tickling the Sage of Untamed Magic, on their sides and belly a bit, making Morgyn scream out a bit girlishly writhing away from the tickles and laughing loudly!

"Aaah, hehe, hehe, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, you brat! You found my tickly spots, brat! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, you goof. So what were you brewing up or tried to brew up?"

"Potion of Good Fortune."

"Ohh, terrible for you, it backfired, more like a potion of bad luck it hit you with."

"Yeah, and thanks again for lifting it for me."

"Anytime."

Overweight Simeon half jogged in and finally found them, "I thought I heard an explosion, did I hear right, and if so, from what?"

"Yeah, that was me, I was trying to brew up a potion of Good Fortune, but it backfired on me, and it blew up in my face, and I got cursed, with Repulsiveness. Thankfully Morgyn got rid of it for me right," playfully elbow jabbing Morgyn in the stomach.

Playfully doing it right back, jokingly said, "No, she's still ugly as sin," L. Faba playfully stuck her tongue out at Morgyn and Morgyn did it right back at her.

Chuckling at the silly pair was happy to hear everything turned out all right. "Well, I'm glad everything turned out all right. Oh," spotting the puke puddle quickly took care of that with a wave of his wand, "Scruberoo. Not only is there a potion to remove curses, but now we also got a spell to learn to remove it as well. I'm so glad there is now Untamed Magic to learn, now that you came here, oh prophesized one. So…mind teaching me that spell?"

"Hmm, I think you know my price, it's pretty high, a spell for a spell, I think that's only right for the prophesized one," jokes Morgyn. They hardly believed it at times, let alone put too much stock in the prophecy about them, but it had seemingly come to pass. So maybe there was something to it, they supposed. It wasn't that they didn't believe in such things, but they had been told a lot of things that were hard to believe. They were also told some things that they thought were true but turned out were wrong, and things they thought were untrue, found out later were true. So with Morgyn being the ultimate truth-seeker, being a Sagittarius, had an open mind when it came to things like this. Namely believing in prophecies. But there were such things as false prophets. So Morgyn was also still wisely wary of any and all possible false prophesies given about a lot of things. Even if it was about them. As Morgyn would soon find out, they had a very good reason to disbelieve what they were told.

"What spell would you like to learn for Decursify?" Simone quite eager, wand at the ready, to teach Morgyn any of his Practical Magic spells, he knew, to learn Decursify from Morgyn for it.

"Hmm, so hard to choose. How about a rain-cheque? I'll decide later, and teach it to you now, the Decursify spell."

"Uh, sure? Umm, what's a rain-cheque?" Unfamiliar with that mortal term. Simeon like quite a few other Spellcasters did go in and out freely from the Realm of Magic, from time to time, and did know about mortals, but there were a lot of things, Simeon, as well as the others, did not know about mortals or human born like Morgyn here, namely some terms for some things, like this rain-cheque thing, or meaning.

"It means you can pay me later when I decide, it's a voucher for whatever, in this case learning a spell from you. I'll decide on it later; what's more important for me to learn."

"Oh, okay, sure, a rain-cheque for a Practical Magic spell it is. I'm ready," and Morgyn taught Simeon the Decursify spell.

"How about you, L. do you want to learn it? You know, in case you curse yourself again, and I'm not around next time to remove it for you. As for the payment, spell, I think I'm pretty settled on the spell I want to learn from you, but later."

"Yeah, learn whatever from us later, as I also came in to tell you that Minerva wanted to speak with you about something important as well, and it is imperative you go see her right away."

This would only take a few seconds, and Morgyn could always fly literally out of here and go see Minerva right away. "Sure, I'll go see them just as soon as I teach L. the Decursify spell. Ready?" L. Faba nods; she was quite ready to learn it. Morgyn teaches her the spell, and L. Faba absorbs the knowledge of the spell just as Simeon did less than a minute ago. "Okay, see you when I see you both, later," already eagerly looking forward to it, to getting out of here for a short time even if it was just to fly into Glimmerbrook. After all, Morgyn was looking forward to what would happen after they saw Minerva and spoke to them about whatever it is. After all, it has been at least 5 days if not longer as all the days seemed to blend together here, and it was very easy to lose track of days and had done so, and as such, Morgyn was feeling a bit cooped up from it. So was looking forward to spending a bit of time outside of the Realm of Magic. Not that they didn't love being in the Realm and being a Sage, it was just they needed this as well. For sanities sake. "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, whee," enjoying the rush too much as they zipped up on their broom to fly through the portal and off through to Glimmerbrook to land at Minerva Charm's doorstep, and knock on the door. Only as soon as Morgyn flew out of the portal did the icy, freezing cold late autumn and nearing if not already here, namely winter air, hit Morgyn hard. "Oh man, it's freezing out," seeing their breath in the air, shivered coldly. Wobbling a bit as they flew because they were straddling their broom tightly and digging it, their broom, into them, get it deeper between their legs, because the cold air and especially the icy wind had hit Morgyn quite hard, and the usual reaction happened. Though their coat and sweater was warm enough, they still did want their gloves and toque hat on as well. Morgyn hated the cold for the most part, and boy was it cold today, with the cold wind blowing! Just the cold part Morgyn disliked, but Morgyn loved snow, as it is so pretty to look at and fun to play in. Also, winter meant 3 other big things; their birthday was coming up, as well as Winterfest and Chiasmas. Morgyn loved Winterfest and especially Christmas. What kids young or old didn't love it?! Morgyn knocked on the door and then danced a bit by the door while waiting for someone to answer it for 2 reasons over. "Hey, Darrel, how's it going, is your mom home?"

"Yeah. Mom, Morgyn is here!" She came right over, as Morgyn shivers and bounces a bit dancing a bit on the spot. "You okay?"

"Yeah I'm getting chilled from the cold of flying here on my broom, and I suddenly had to pee, ha, ha, ha, ha. I didn't realize how cold it had gotten being in the Realm, it's not cold there, or at least not as cold as in Glimmerbrook. So when the cold hits you, suddenly you find yourself needing to pee, when you didn't before, ha, ha, ha, or at least way worse than before it hits you. I'm trying to warm up here and hold it in at the same time. Of course, the cold wind isn't helping that."

"Oh, okay, ha, ha, ha, right, that's true enough. For both of those things. It happens to me too. I have to pee too when I get hit with the cold most times as well."

"Oh, you poor thing, you look so cold, come in, come in quickly. Go warm up by the fireplace." Morgyn nods and heads right there. "I did need to speak to you about something important, but you better also go use the bathroom first if you have to go. The cold does the same thing to me, of course, but just being an elder also means more trips to the bathroom."

Shivering and after entering the warm house suddenly lost that strong urge to urinate, especially getting warmed up by the fireplace, but that was good as they had other plans later on, involving the toilet and needed that excuse to pee. "I'm okay now; the urge is gone, now that I'm getting warmed up. I'll go pee later." Namely, when they went to the bar. "As I'm sure by what I was told, what you have to tell me is quite important."

"Oh, okay, if you're sure," Morgyn nods it was fine, and what Minerva has to tell Morgyn was quite important. But certainly not time-sensitive, that Morgyn couldn't go take a bathroom break now before she began to tell Morgyn what she had to say to them. So Minerva started to say to them, as Morgyn stayed by and warmed up by the fireplace, "I have a new prophecy which has come to my attention, concerning you, Morgyn."

"Bad or good?"

"Wonderful, in fact, quite wonderful for you, as well as for the rest of us. Because of what it will mean or rather bring. Concerning the Realm of Magic as well as the human or mortal realm as well. It will be a wondrous miracle, in fact."

"That's the best kind of prophecy then. I have to ask, um, like how come, or how, did you learn of this gift, to prophesy?"

"Easy, I had two wonderful children." Darrel smiles with a slight blush at the praise his mother just gave. Too bad, his sister Gemma wasn't also here to hear it, as she was away at school still being a teen. "When you become a mother, you are gifted with not only a child or children, depending on, of course, your pregnancy, be it a single baby or multiples, that you're having, but also, you will become a much more powerful Spellcaster, in some way after. That's why you will find that the most powerful Spellcasters are, in fact, women. In my case, my gift, in addition to my two beautiful, wonderful, and adorable children, was the gift of prophecy. Perhaps you will get the same gift, or some other one, after all, you will be having a baby here soon enough. That's why I wanted you to come here, for me to tell you; the prophecy says: that you will be having a little Spellcaster, a baby, very soon! Congratulations, Morgyn! You will soon be with Spellcaster, and Spellcasting for two, soon enough!"

"WHAT!? Pa-ha, ha, ha, ha, yeah sure‼ Me having a baby‼ Good luck with that‼ I mean that; I really mean that‼ I am so not having any baby! Really, me, having a baby‼ You have got to be out of your mind, to think that; that I would, or could, have a baby‼" This had to be a joke, or just dead wrong, as far as any prophecy is concerned.

Darrel chuckles, "Uh, mom, are you sure it is Morgyn, who is to have a baby, I mean." Darrel shakes his head and looks Morgyn over, and up and down a few times. Squinting his eyes and looking at Morgyn's face. As Darrel's gaze rested on Morgyn's face and the fact that they wore both eyeliner and lipstick or lip-gloss as well. Then looking at Morgyn's body up and down once more, he realized it, oh of course, right. He then shrugged his shoulders and head, shaking it a bit. "Oh, yeah, you're right, it is Morgyn, ohh, of course, yes, ah," winking at Morgyn, "I get it now, what's up with you. I guess it's kind of obvious if you look at Morgyn, mom, what's up with them. You're in good company with my mom, Morgyn."

Almost growling as they spoke, "What are you looking at, Darrel," Morgyn asks, folding their arms over, their chest, namely, getting those creeped out vibes.

"Ha, ha, I ain't interested, in you, at all, Morgyn, I wasn't checking you out that way, at all, I'm engaged, after all, namely to Emilia. I only have eyes for her. But I get it now. Sorry if I offended you. I was just trying to figure you out; I got it now, what you are. I suppose it is obvious if you think about it, and I meant no harm when I was looking at you to realize that. Sorry though, if I did creep you out."

Always quick to forgive, especially if it was a misunderstanding which it seemed to be here, said genuinely, "Yeah, it's fine. It's all good and forgiven, no big. Oh, and congratulations! I wish you all the best and luck in your up-coming marriage!"

"Thank you so much. Besides, I know, what you are, I just realized it, what you are, what you must be. After all, looks are deceiving, and in your case, being a bookworm trait, I think you know the saying, not to judge a book by its cover, fits you better. After all, I get it, what you must be; my mother can tell you that. By the way, she is never wrong, she is a proven prophetess. If my mom says you are going to have a baby, you are going to have to get ready to have a baby then. Better get a bassinet, oh prophesied one, you are going to be in a family way soon enough. Pretty soon after Emilia and I do get married, we will no doubt be starting to have a few little baby Spellcasters of our own, soon enough. Perhaps our little one or little ones will play with your little one. It is just one Morgyn will be having or more than one?"

"The prophecy for this particular one is just for one baby. However, I'm sure that won't stop Morgyn from having other children in due time."

Scoffing, "Huh, not going to happen there with me, I can tell you that much, it can't, and won't be happening, a baby in my future. What kind of future prophecy is that for someone like me?"

"You need not be afraid of what the future will bring you; this child will bring you nothing but blessings. Though I'm sure with becoming a parent, not without its hardships, as to be expected along the way, but mostly all blessings." Morgyn just looked quite upset and on the verge of tears at what Minerva just said as their bottom lip quivered. Something about that must have hit Morgyn quite hard to upset the Sage that much. Maybe it was only the unbelievable goodness of the prophecy, was hitting Morgyn's heart, in a good way, of course, Minerva was quite sure. Not knowing the exact reason why Morgyn was getting quite upset. "Morgyn, this baby, you will have, will unite your mortal realm with our Realm of Magic; this baby will bring unity to our realms. You will do this by joining your granted Spellcaster DNA with a special magical Spellcaster DNA which only exists to bring joy and happiness to others, and together you will create a new life, and in doing so, that new life, it will bring back, the lost house of magic AKA Àine, AKA Tamed Magic. The baby before it is even born, will return what was lost, a lost House and School of Magic, Tamed Magic, Àine will return to us. Before your baby is even born, Àine will return to us. As the baby grows, he or she will help to bring a new era of peace and understanding. No one will be ashamed or afraid when they do realize it; we are all one, though different. This child will bring so much good."

Choking a bit, "Àine is coming back, if I get pregnant, have a baby?"

"Yes, that's right, she left shortly after you became a Spellcaster, we lost Tamed Magic, and we got Untamed Magic in its place, namely you. But as you know, that is what I had prophesied would happen when you came here, long before you came here, in fact. But in addition to getting our Sage of Tamed Magic back, this child you will have will also be a Sage, in due time."

"What?! Of what? Of what magic, take over my role as Untamed Magic or…what?" Morgyn was certainly not offended by that idea; if anyone was going to take over their role as Sage, it should be someone special, like a family member. Still, Morgyn really had to know, wonder, if that was the case. All in all, this was getting to sound quite unbelievable! Just the fact that they, they Morgyn Ember was going to get; pregnant; yeah, was an absolutely absurd idea in itself! What an idea!

"No, your baby will learn, Old Magic, lost magic, long-forgotten, magic. Your baby will learn long-forgotten magic; that will be what he or she will be the Sage of. He or she will rediscover the old magical arts."

"So, you don't know if I'm going to have a boy or a girl?"

"No. I'm a prophetess, not a physic, Morgyn."

"But even the Savior's birth was prophesied that He would be a boy."

"Yes, by an angel of the Lord, and by God Himself, I am neither of those things. However, no matter how special this baby will be, he or she is no savior, by any means. However, if I am made to know what sex your child will be, I will let you know. Otherwise, you will just have to find out the good old-fashioned way. Wait until birth to see what you have."

"Well, they do have sonograms now or ultrasounds. You can find that out then, that way."

Morgyn took a deep, hitched breath and just shook their head. "Yeah, I'll do just that," and walked off. Tugging their coat tightly around them did it up before walking out the door and heading out in the cold, bitter wind. Morgyn was still very upset, but as the wind blew, it had dried Morgyn's bitter, sad tears away to icy streams as Morgyn walked off. Head and mind and heart still upset over what they were told, started to cry. Why wouldn't they cry, over it all, especially considering what they had been told years ago?

Politely getting the door for Morgyn, Darrel now watched out the door and could even swear he heard it. Morgyn choking up and crying; and shaking coldly not just from the cold and windy weather, but from something else, perhaps it was fear. "Mom, Morgyn seems so upset. I hope she will be okay, I don't know why she is so upset though. This should be joyous news for her."

"Dear, use, they, or other gender-neutral pronouns, with Morgyn, until they say so otherwise. I know they do it with me, I think they want the same in return. But yes, I do wonder why too, why they are so upset over this prophecy."

"Maybe Morgyn is a Trans female to male and can't take it, to hear that news, of going back to the other gender, the one they were born as. Some really hate that and can't accept the gender that they were born as, and it upsets them so much to be thought of and called that gender again or anything to do with it. Yet if that is the case, I don't get it then, why Morgyn still wears make-up, as if she is still a girl. Makes no sense, to me, if that is the case."

"I do not think so, although I would not rule that out, I still do not think that is the case with Morgyn at all. I believe it is something else entirely, what is upsetting and bothering our Sage friend."

"Either that, or Morgyn is like you, but they just can't accept it, what they are, and wants to be thought of as a male-only. Or maybe Morgyn just doesn't want to be married."

"Oh yes, both of those things might be correct. Let's just give it some time, time for Morgyn to muddle it all over, to accept their fate. Besides, I need time to help Gemma with her school homework. I want to see her get that A+ in school. So I have to give her a hand with her homework, first, before I go see Morgyn, and explain things better to the dear Sage, of what will happen."
