Chosen By The Last Seer

Chapter Seven

ALLEN

I knew Khalid would meet Maverick after the lecture, to continue what they had started earlier. Khalid had Maverick by his shirt and was dragging him towards the back of the school. I followed them, to keep an eye on Khalid and make sure he doesn’t do anything brash. Prince was there with Zainab, trying to prevent the situation from escalating. “Babe, he’s not even worth it. Just leave him alone.” Zainab pleaded. “Listen to her, Khalid.”

Khalid just shoved Maverick without hitting him and warned him. “Just keep Zay’s name out of your mouth.” He then took Zainab’s hand and led her to his car, where he drove away immediately.

Both Prince and Gold approached me. "You don't seem to be feeling well this morning; is everything all right with you?" When Prince asked, I just smiled at him as Gold clung to me.

"Is our Allen okay?" she said in a cute voice "You need to be okay Allen or do you want us to assist you to your house?" I smiled at her cuteness and refused the offer. "I'm fine, but I'll be taking a leave for a couple of days," I told them.

"Does that mean you're not coming to school tomorrow?" this question was asked by Prince. I nodded in affirmative. "Yes. Tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow," I said. They both hummed in understanding, and shortly after they left in Prince's car, while I walked to where my car was parked.

I was about to get into my car when I noticed Laura, the girl from my Vision walking out from the main entrance. I had almost forgotten about her. A car pulled alongside her, and the driver quickly emerged to open the door for her. She completely ignored the car, and instead hailed down a cab and got in. The driver ran back into the car and followed after the cab.

I was really tempted to look if I would see anything about what was going on, but I resisted the urge, and instead got into my car. On the ride home, my mind began to wander to my friends; They treated me like something that could break at any moment. If only they knew that there are numerous things I am capable of doing, both physically and spiritually. When it comes to martial arts, I am physically well-trained. I also have a strong memory of events that occurred many years ago. The minute when it happened, including the seconds are always fresh in me,I have a very sharp brain on that and it's all thanks to my special gift.

I can walk without being seen because of my spiritual abilities. I use my special abilities to heal people because I was given the ability to heal regardless of the nature of the illness. I can vanish into thin air and reappear in the blink of an eye, and hear people’s thoughts regardless of how far away they are unless I don't want to. I can read people's minds and see into the future and past.

Indeed! If only they knew.

Allen met his mother in the living room. She quickly stood up to tell her son the bad news about the woman. He went to his mother’s side to console her.

“Mum, you did the best you could. I could already tell what had happened. I’m not going to let you blame yourself. We couldn’t do anything else. Okay, mom?” Allen said to his mother as he hugged her.

“All right, son,” she said, sniffing. After she had calmed down, he told her about his cleansing. “I’m going to the elder for my cleansing tomorrow,” he told his mother. “So, I need to rest. Please stop crying, or you might fall sick.”

His mother burst into a fresh bout of tears. “I’m just sad for her. I attempted to stop… “ Allen hugged her more tightly until she was done.

ALLEN

I had a lot of questions at the beginning. Why do I require this cleansing? Why is it so important for me? And why can't I share things with people?

Every day, I rub shoulders with people, hug them, and shake their hands. All of these things are forbidden for me as the Seer. I'm not ordinary, so I'm supposed to stay that way and never mix with ordinary people, but because I go to school and have friends, these things cannot be avoided. This is the reason why cleansing every six months is important for me, to be clean and pure again, so I can focus on my Visions without any problems in my body.

The most dangerous thing for me is having my saliva mixed with other people'. If that happens, I could easily become ill and end up in the sickbed for a few days. I won’t be able to see Visons until I get better, and I also won’t be able to speak. Although I was given the gift of not dying, in order to live a healthy life, I have to follow these rules.

*TWO DAYS LATER*

Allen sat with the Elder after his cleansing was done. "You said you had something to talk to me about, after my cleansing," Allen reminded him. “Hmm… How are you feeling now?" Softly, the old man inquired. Allen had a relaxed smile on his face. He was feeling much better. “Better than before," he replied.

"Have you seen your gift?" asked the Elder "My gift?" “What gift are you referring to?” The old man smiled. Allen made a curious face, attempting to read his mind, but the man abruptly stopped him. Allen’s face was full of curiosity, he then attempted to read the Elder’s mind.

"Don't you dare read your guardian's mind," the old man stopped him in his tracks.

"But you're keeping me in suspense," he complained. “In any case, pay close attention to everything I'm about to say to you right now.” "It's time I revealed the main purpose of your gift," said Elder.

"Main purpose, haven't I been using it all along?" Allen inquired.

" Those aren’t the main goals, son,” he said softly to Allen

"First, let me tell you about the gift I said to you then. The girl you saw in your vision is the gift I was referring to. And I presume you would have met her today.”

"Wh... what?" "Laura? But how?" Allen was in a state of shock. What did Elder mean by that?

"Yes, Allen, that new girl is the one for you."

"Wait a minute, I'm not sure what you're on about."

Don't you sense it? I'm sure you sensed it even before you saw her. I'll tell you more about it later.” Allen gazed at him in silence, trying to get his point.

"Ok then, My responsibility? What about those I have been doing all these years? are you telling me that they are not part of my responsibilities” he asked curiously. “They are your responsibilities but not in the bigger sense. You see that girl you saw today, She is the one chosen for you; To be both your strength and your weakness. Your meeting her just recently, is because your joint purpose is about to unfold. She is your second important responsibility, Allen.”

“You claim Laura was chosen for me, and she is my second most important responsibility. What then is my first and most important responsibility?”

What exactly is the first responsibility of the last seer? What is the primary goal of his gifts?
