Many were surprised at the words they had heard and there was chaos in Illa Durray's heat. One by one many questions had been raised.
"Illa Durray, the moon child was said to be born during the red moon but ever since the curse of the red moon started, no child had been born at such times," One of the old women raised this. She was a midwife and they had been taking a note of all children that had been born for the last few decades after the prophecy was foretold and yet they had no one born during the occurrence of the red moon.
"What you have said is impossible Illa Durray," Another question echoed through the crowd. "The moon child was said to save us all from the curse of the red moon and yet we still suffer every year whenever the red moon appears. If the moon child had already been born, the red moon should have stopped,"
Illa Durray's hut had become too loud as questions were after another. Yet Illa Durray remained calm and composed, not bothered by everyone's tension. When everyone seemed to have thrown all the questions they could ask her, she looked at everyone.
"I am a seer, I can only see," She told them. "I do not have answers to all your questions unfortunately,"
Her words only made the crowd more frustrated. It had been long since a vision had stirred in their midst and so they seemed unconvinced by it. However Illa Durray had long proven her worth and all the visions he had once seen, so they give it the benefit of the doubt.
"Illa Durray perhaps you can see where can I start looking for the moon child?" The highest gunta asked. Since his household seemed to have been dragged into this mess and when it was foretold his wife couldn't bear a child because of the missing moon child, he considered it a mission to find such a child at all cost.
"I do," Illa Durray told her what she had seen. It had been long since someone sought all her visions and so she didn't withhold anything especially that she was then very old and she worried that she would bring all the visions she saw to her grave. It was best to tell it all and leave nothing unsaid.
"Illa tell me, I need to know so I can lift my soon to be wife's curse," The Highest Gunta pleaded. Although he wasn't married to Princess Lana yet, he had already taken her purity and took her hand from the Chieftain. Besides he was man enough to fulfill his promise to marry and so he took it as his responsibility to find something to lift her curse.
"There is a bridge to the moon child," Illa Durray revealed. "I saw the bridge too. The moment the moon child was lost, I had visions of the bridge,"
"Where is this bridge Illa Durray?" Everyone's ears were with the Gunta and Illa Durray's conversation. Things had been a little too intense already and yet the tension aggravated every second that past and ever since Illa Durray opened her eyes to speak, many more people came to her hut that right then, almost the entire village of Illa Durray was there. They flocked around her small hut and backyard and since not everyone can enter, every now and then a messenger goes out to announce what had been said inside.
"The bridge is in his household" Illa Durray raised a finger and to everyone's shock, the old woman pointed to Darryl, the hero of Somer Isles. Even Xhemin turned to her husband, unsure of what to say and feel about what was taking place.
"The bridge is in the hero's household," Illa Durray looked at Darryl in a way that was hard to comprehend but there was certainty in it telling everyone that she had seen this in a clear vision. "It's his child. The bridge is his child,"
"Which child?" Chieftain Enoch asked immediately. He had been following the conversation religiously and marveled at every word Illa Durray spoke. How come they missed her visions for many years when all of it seemed legitimate? Right then he was wondering which among the children of the hero was the one foretold in the vision. "The hero had two children, which among them is the bridge?"
Xhemin who does not know what to feel clung to Darryl's arms. Now that her children were subjected to the visions, she felt a little bit of a panic and hoped it was nothing as troublesome. The seer just revealed about a curse to the highest princess seat, she was afraid that her children might also be subjected to the same fate.
Darryl took Xhemin's hand and intertwined his fingers on her. Although he came without plans of listening to the visions, hearing his children's name in Illa Durray's mouth struck something in his heart. The first time Illa Durray foretold him a vision, some trouble in his household happened because of princess Lana's obsession with it and he was feeling a bit worried the next vision would also cause the same.
"The child isn't one of the three first borns," Illa Durray told them and the Lagdameo couple could only look at each other intrigued as to how Illa Durray learned they had three first borns. From what they knew, Illa Durray wasn't close to the Chieftain's household and ever since she stopped seeing visions, she did not socialize anymore. She went on praying and meditating all day and never left her hut and so many people had not seen her for years. With all this, the chances of her learning about what happened to Xhemin in the mainland was small.
"The child I'm referring to is the one breathing inside the healer's wȯmb," She revealed. "The child I foretold to be born next spring in the hero's household. That child is the bridge,"
