"Stay. I have something to say to you". Minister Wang said authoritatively his hands behind him and Jade sighed in hidden annoyance before turning to face him with her innocence.
"Yes father. I'm all ears". Jade muttered and the Minister walked closer to her.
"You're fifty now and still yet to find yourself". Minister Wang said standing in front of her.
'This same talk again?'. Jade thought.
"Yes i know that father". Jade replied.
"You know if you weren't blind you would have been killed right when you clocked twenty years. Cause our people believe if a person doesn't gain supernatural powers from birth, twenty years is the only deadline they have to gain such powers and if they don't, they will be accused of witchcraft and stoned to death, cause its only a witch that develops her powers at eighty and you're almost getting there. But thank goodness your blindness came at the right time to make people pardon you a little". Minister Wang said.
"I'm not a witch father…
"Of course you're not. No witch is ever blind cause they have to read before chanting spells. But then lots of people have been complaining about your inability and are greatly sure you're a witch". Minister Wang said and Jade's blind eyes widened in the blindfold.
"The issue has been taken to the minister of people's affairs and together with my pleadings you've been given two weeks to prove that you have a tiny atom of spiritual power in you or else you'll be accused of witchcraft and stoned to death". Minister Wang said and Jade starggered backwards almost loosing her stance.
"I don't know how you'll practice elemental spells or sword manipulations since you can't see but then I've done my part by informing you". Minister Wang said before walking out and Jade sighed deeply in panick, but then someone suddenly touched her shoulder and she flinched feeling the touch.
"Don't be scared little sis. I know of a shaman that can borrow you powers to fool everyone in two weeks time". Mina smirked behind her and Jade instantly turned to her.
"Really?! Please tell me..
"i***t! There's no shaman in this tenth province remember?! Shamanism is a huge ban in this kingdom just kill yourself and quit spoiling the air over here for us!". Mina spat hatefully pushing her to the floor and she fell then Mina grinned before walking away, Jade balled her fist
on the ground before standing up and leaving.
