It was a completely normal day, the same as always at school ...
"Llyod! Lloyd Irving wake up!" came a loud voice. A sponge that flew into his face woke him up. "Oh, Professor Raine. Is the lesson over yet?" Lloyd asked grinning, his voice still sleepy. Raine just sighed, "Always the same, then someone else has to answer the question. Genis, how about you?"
"Yes, Raine. Mithos, the hero, ended the Old War on the Sacred Plains of Kharlan."
"Right. After that, Mithos, the hero, made a pact with the goddess Martel to put under a seal the Desians who produced the war," added Raine.
"But the Desians have returned and are now bringing suffering to everyone!" Said Lloyd.
"We discussed that in the last hour ..."
"I knew that, I just forgot!" he said with full conviction.
Raine continued ... "Today is the day of prophecy. This day is very important. The chosen one will receive an oracle from the goddess Martel. Well, chosen one Colette."
"Yes. Professor Raine."
"Tell us about the journey to renew the world."
"It is a journey to banish the Desians under a seal."
"Right!", Said Raine, "but I knew that the chosen one could answer this question by herself. The mana is almost exhausted. This is the cause of the lack of food and the drought. They say the Desians consume huge amounts of Mana in their human farms. The Voyage of the Chosen has two goals, renewing mana and defeating the Desians. And now the next question ... "
But before Raine could ask the next question, a light suddenly appeared and shone for a brief moment through the large windows of the school.
"Sit down again! The time of the oracle seems to have come. I'll go to the temple and see. You stay here and do your homework. Do you understand?" said Raine and tried to calm the others down."Professor! I'm going with you!"
"No, Colette. If it's the oracle, the priests will come to you here. You'd best wait here with the others."
Raine quickly made her way to the temple. But Lloyd was just too curious and wanted to go after.
"Lloyd! Where are you going? You don't want to run away, do you? Raine is getting pissed off!" Genis warned him.
"I'm really curious what happens to Colette when she receives the oracle. They always tell us about the Chosen One and the Day of Prophecy, but nobody tells you what really happens."
"Honestly Lloyd, there is nothing to laugh about when my sister gets angry."
"Man, and I was so excited to see what actually happened at an oracle."

The door of the school opened and you could hear faint footsteps moving slowly forward. A priest walked in the corridor with a deep wound on his shoulder. When he got to class, he called the chosen one, with one of his last breaths, then fell over ...
"For heaven's sake!" called Colette.
"Are you okay?" Lloyd asked frantically.
"The Desians raided the temple ..."
"Wait a minute!", Genis interrupted the priest, "Iselia has a non-aggression pact with the Desians."
Lloyd asked, "You mean the agreement that they leave our village alone?"
"Yes, exactly, grandmother said it was for my protection," Colette replied.
"I ... don't ... why, but they ... broke the pact..Chosen ones..hurry ... take the oracle .. against ..." the priest pleaded.
"Yes!"
"Be..careful ... I'm sorry..that ... I..not..be..protect ... Aus..erwä ..."
"Hold on!" Said Colette with tears in her eyes.
"Too late, he's dead." said Lloyd in a low voice.
"I'm going to the temple."
"Colette, there are Desians outside!" Said Genis.
"Yes but, I am the chosen one. I have to do it. I have to accept the oracle on the prophecy. You wait here, okay?""Lloyd, do you want to let Colette go alone?" Genis wanted to know.
"I'll come with you. You can't go alone!"
"Really? It's dangerous, though."
"Dwarf rule # 1, work together for a peaceful world. Let's go."
"Thank you both!" Said Colette with a happy voice.
They left school, it was dead quiet in the village. Not a soul was to be seen.
"There is nobody here.", Colette realized.
"They were all hiding from the Desians."
"Colette!" A voice called to her.
"Father!" She called back in astonishment.
"Frank! Frank! Is it true that the Desians attacked?" Asked Genis.
"Yes, that's true. Fortunately, no one was injured. You marched through the village on the way to the temple.", Frank replied, pointing to the footprints that could still be seen.
"Colette, if you're looking for your grandmother, Phaidra is in the temple. But don't worry, the priests are with her. So Colette ..."
"I know. I promise to do my duty as the chosen one."
"Okay, thank you both for accompanying my daughter Colette. I'll wait at home, come back immediately if something happens."
