Anne in Ellabur Chapter 2 Karan's Lair

Deep beneath the ground in a room with a big book to his left and a cauldron to his right and potions brewing, and voodoo dolls are in every nook and cranny in the room in the centre of the room at a table a man in a dark robe as dark as the shadows that surround him was peering into a crystal ball with a raven at his side. “Layla” he said to the raven “how many years has it been since I started ruling this land with a iron fist?” The raven replied back: “Let us see Karan. Alex was only 18 months old when we got rid of his parents but Alex disappeared. He is probably 23 years old now. Which means you have been ruling for almost 22 years.” “

The prophecy!!!!” Karan shouted “it said I would only rule for almost 22 years before a girl from another land came.” Layla: “so you think the red headed girl you saw in the crystal ball is the one mentioned in the prophecy?” ***knock knock*** Karan shouts “Who is it?” the voice replied back “it is just me the serving girl Leslie I thought you might be getting hungry down here.” Karan said: “Come in than and leave the food” turning his attention back to the raven he said: “Yes Layla I think that redhead girl I saw in the crystal ball is the one mentioned in the prophecy and I want YOU to keep an eye on her”
