The Romani Gypsies had a known trait all along with the books of history and that would be — Fortune Telling.
Whether it was a crystal ball, or a basin of clear water or a deck of playing or tarot cards, they were able to tell the fortune on one's life.
It may be true and may not be untrue, but the Romani Gypsies held form belief on what they could see far into one's past, present and future for references for the first two.
Actually, no one would be able to tell one's fortune accurately as it was such a baseless indication made by the Romani Gypsies that dwells in fortune-telling though.
However, I was approached by a group of these Romani Gypsies as they wanted to read our fortunes in the next few months while we, as a family had just completed lunch and were resting at the conference hall, tying up some figures after the collective purchases paid towards the Romani Gypsies for their 14 horses and a whole herd of livestock.
The animals that were bought from the Irish Travellers had never been reared in captivity before so the moment they were led into the farmhouses, they were afraid and kept close to the fences and nearly toppled them down when the livestock (those cattle... Urgh) leaned against them like a tree trunk...!
After Crystal and some other helpers had shooed them away and brought them to the centre where there were some water and feed trough, only then the livestock moved away from the fences.
Maybe they missed their previous owners and thought they would be slaughtered for their meat. Actually, for the oxen, it would be a definite yes but for the bulls and dairy cows, they were made to populate.
Since the contraption (a tight leather strap bound down there to prevent accidental insemination) under the bull's balls had been removed by Crystal and the helpers, you should know how these bulls released their frustration as they went from one cow to another and spent rear-ending them. Hahahaha.
I guess those living near those farmhouses could hear the bulls bellowing on the night and the dairy cows turned meek and surrender against the bulls' wrath. Hahahaha.
Hearing that the Romani Gypsies wanted to read the fortune of ours, Samuel the Seer was such a busy body and also entered the domain where the Romani Gypsies had congregated there to watch how others would perform such tasks.
"Good noon, Your Majesty, Felicity here wanted to read your fortune for free since you had allowed us to be here within your community and as a small token of appreciation for you and your family."
One of the Romani Gypsies approached us and then the two entered the domain and was followed closely by Samuel the Seer. The Romani Gypsies carried a small basin of clear water and a deck of cards while Samuel the Seer grinned at us and sat down near the two Romani Gypsies.
"Your Majesty, would you like to know your past first so you would be able to understand the path that you had taken and would be taking in the near future?" Felicity the Fortune Teller said as she asked for my right hand to read some lines on it.
I can't really put my finger on how accurate these readings were, but from their methods, these Romani Gypsies knew what they were doing after all.
After peering at the lines on the palm of my hand, Felicity returned back to her basin of water where she chanted some things into it. There was a slight ripple and we knew that she was not touching the basin at all. After some time, she turned to me with a kind of bewildered look on her face.
"Your Majesty, what I am about to announce was your past, something that you had known since childbirth but there are hidden matters that had involved you to travel through various passages of time."
Felicity the Fortune Teller started to narrate to me and it seems that she was able to see deep into my hidden past which Samuel the Seer couldn't do at that time.
Heather was surprised at what was narrated by Felicity, the Fortune Teller as she began to lean closer to me to listen to what the latter was trying to convey.
"What you knew all along was you being born as your current self, going through your birth right until to this day. But there are some passages of time where you were being diverted before coming to live as what you are right now."
"It seemed that you had lived as a different person, taking over their souls and body when you travelled from one passage to another."
"I really can't tell what you had gone through so far but I could tell roughly the past one or two before ending here as what you are now, Your Majesty."
Heather and I were intently listening to what Felicity the Fortune Teller was about to narrate about my past. Would it be the same as what Samuel had narrated before and that's the reason why he was here as an observer?
"Prior to this, Your Majesty, you were living in a passage of time when you had just survived a war against the several mythical creatures, big and small in a world, far away from here. It may not even exist at all but its a world on its own."
"During that battle, you were the only one survivor but you had suffered greatly and was saved by a group of travellers and somehow got you treated in a nearby town, many miles from where you were found."
"The battle that you had just undergone was called Battle of Qodegh, a very strange archaic word they only those who existed in that world could translate the meaning."
"You had lain in a comatose state but during that time, you knew what you were doing since you somehow appeared right during the battle and was welding your great sword as you hack and s***h your way."
"However, in your comatose state, you were accompanied by 2 beings, one was a man and the other one was a woman. The man was somewhat like a form of water, that could be seen through and took a perfect shape when he appeared before you."
"The woman, on the other hand, only appeared as a voice, with no form of a body but was there to act as guidance to you to monitor your progress. I am unsure what kind of progress but right now, those two are trying to make contact through me."
"Would you like to be contacted, Your Majesty? Since they had been adamant in their efforts of being in touch with you since you were born...!"
Heather and I looked at each other and was lost for words because previously, Samuel had only mentioned these two but never had tried to make contact with us before. Right now, as mentioned by Felicity the Fortune Teller, these 2 beings were trying to communicate.
I happened to look at Samuel but I saw that he had a strange look in his eyes. He was staring straight before him but he wasn't even looking at us in that manner at all. It seemed like he was either spooked or either on a hypnotic condition...!
Samuel's eyes were somehow glazed over and his iris had become totally dark, which indicated that he had fallen into some sort of trance or something.
His both hands they were placed in front of him were flat on the table and Heather could see that there was a kind of moisture forming around the surface of where his hands were.
Was Samuel entering some kind of trance it acts as a medium to be contacted by the 2 beings? This had never happened before and it was weird that this Seer could happen to be involved in this situation right now.
"Well, Your Majesty? The two beings are ready to communicate with you since the had established a kind of connection. The presence that I had received is very strong as if they would pop out right in front of us right now."
Heather held my arms tightly and pointed to Samuel who was staring blankly ahead. She also observed that the other lady beside Felicity had some movements that made her hair billow as if there was a slight breeze causing it to be in that manner but within the conference hall, the air was currently still...!
I was somehow anticipating something to happen right there and then and I held Heather's arms and said in a calm and solemn voice, "Let the 2 beings come in contact with us then."
As soon as I had allowed the 2 beings to be contacted through Felicity the Fortune Teller, the lady beside her suddenly went into the same stance as Samuel the Seer but this time her hair was billowing wildly around her as if there was a strong gale within the conference hall...!
The twins were brought back to their rooms and being monitored by the helpers since the scene in front of them was a bit too wild and it would be too much for the twins to take it.
To prevent all this, our twins were brought to safety first and was made sure that they had stayed in their rooms as the helpers played with them and read some book to take their minds off from what was going to happen downstairs.
