As Alisha stop singing knowing her child is fast asleep she then lastly glance at her son who sleep so peacefully in his bed, her job is done so she walks out of the room as the door open stood a vampire who is petite with white long hair reaches down her waist and a stunning almond shape orange eyes. She agitatedly bows and suddenly said, "Forgive my rudeness your highness but the oracle Carman seeks your presence immediately."
"What is the fuss all about apprentice Nyx? For that oracle to seek my presence." AIisha asked.
And Nyx solemly said, "It is about the crowned prince, your highness"
Alisha eyes narrowed for she felt there is a huge storm coming disrupting all the people in its path. "Take me to her right now!"
Out in the dark corner a dark silhoutte spoke, "No need to go your highness, I am already here." That person slowly walks toward Alisha and Nyx, that person was the oracle who dress rather simple she has green hair and white eyes in her right hand she holds her wooden scepter which also resembles the color of her skin that is always common for a demon dryad she then stop in front of Alisha.
"Oracle Carman to came here personally I highly suspect that my son fate will be extremely serious?" Alisha asked.
"Yes very extreme indeed. So may we come in?" The oracle Carman asked.
Alisha got a bad feeling about this she hesitantly said with a shaky voice "w..hat do.. yo..u want with my son?"
The oracle knowing her worries she said to reassure alisha worries, "fear not your highness, I will not harm our only prince in the demon continent Mithil even if I did my position as an oracle will not help me evade the laws of mithil establish since the foundings of the first demon emperor. And also I will not harm a child who did nothing wrong being born in this world of ours."
Alisha easing a bit of her worries but still hesitant to comply.
The oracle sighed and said, "I can't tell you here if where outside your highness."
To alisha reluctance she followed the words of the oracle and let her in leaving out Nyx to guard the door outside for any intruders. The oracle then cast a spell in the room to cancel any noise for anyone to hear, alisha eyes narrowed and grab rylen out from his crib and hugging his small body protectively.
When the oracle saw alisha protectively holding her child fearing her doing something bad to her child, the oracle shakes her head and sigh. She looks at rylen who was abruptly awoke from his sleep and was looking around observing calmly of what situation currently in. As she saw rylen she knew the prophecy that the darkness foretold is true as what the oracle mumbles which alisha hears it.
Alisha agitately shouts, "what prophecy?! Is true?"
The oracle ignores her question and suddenly said in a slightly off topic creepily, "Oh my what a cute child you have your highness, he does look like the splitting image of his father though he still have your curly hair and eyes."
Alisha then said angrily, "Dont ignore my question oracle! Answer me! Right now."
The oracle sighed for the ninth time and look in the eyes of alisha and spoke seriously, "Your child destiny has yet to be seen unchained by fate he is free but unless he move on his own volition shall it be written. For his soul carries the past memories he held if it left disregarded a great tragedy might befall on him or a great blessing in disguise. For his own good I shall cast a spell to lock this memories deep within his mind when the time he needed this then it shall be release for him to use be it good or bad its his decision to make."

Alisha angrily points her hand to the oracle and said, "Quit your silly riddles I know you still not answered it all, I know you still held secrets from me! Tell me the truth oracle Carman."
The oracle grip tightly her scepter and the other hand rub her glabela out of frustration she spoke, "child of darkness"
"Whats that to do with my son?" - Alisha asked doubtfully
"Your son is the reincarnation of the child of darkness yet also not the same. As what i've told you already even heaven did'nt hold his destiny only he can that's why his special. And many would pursue to hunt down his life to avoid the catastrophe." the oracle answered
"Why?! Why did they choose my son? Out of all people! He is the only family I have!" Shouted by alisha with reddened eyes tears fell down her lovely cheeks and rylen clumsily tried to wipe out her tears with his small hands. He too felt heartache knowing his mother cried for a reason he did'nt know yet. Alisha lovingly hold his hand and closely hugs him to her face.
She looks back at the oracle and said venomously, "what?! Are you still here to end my sons life too? I will not hold back for the sake of my child i'll become a real demon inside and out."
The oracle was angry tapping her scepter to the ground and she spoke in annoyance, "Aish!, you silly child! Why would I do that stupid! I already told you earlier. Geez! I'm just here to conceal his memories. Besides he is my grandchild why would I harm him?! (With narrowed eyes she spoke) you also forgot you still have a mother alisha"
Alisha scuffs and said, "what mother?! Your just a woman married to my father. We dont have even a glimmer of blood ties together."
The oracle feels like her blood is rising up to her head, alisha cold see a huge vein bulging in her step mother head. The oracle felt she could vomit blood but still frustratingly said to alisha, "fine, I know you will not even acknowledge me a little as your second mom. But still let me proceed what my purpose in coming here for."
As the oracle chant spell in ancient demon language after a few minutes rylen body glows the words spoke by the oracle slowly embedded to the back body of rylen forming a unique tattoo to his skin that shape like a dragon clinging to his back. Due to the difficulty of the spell the oracle almost fainted because of the huge mana it takes to inscribe the spell to rylen body one wrong step she and the child could die so she grits her teeth and carefully chant the spell. When shes finished she heave a big sigh of relief seeing rylen was fine with all the process, her legs shakes and she fell to her knees the once lush green hair starting to turn white her skin which have a healthy brown skin starting to get lighter. But with all that happen rylen fell asleep fast due to tiredness.
Alisha puts rylen back to his crib and dashed towards the oracle whose almost in the brink of fainting as she kneels down to scope up the oracle but the oracle waves her hand showing her resistant and said weakly, "you dont have to."
But alisha insist her offer but the oracle turn it down she thought something was amiss with the situation they in so alisha ask her, "why would'nt you accept my offer oracle?"
The oracle wrly smiles then suddenly her hair are falling out from her head shes starting to withered. As alisha notice it now she know why with reddened eyes she said, "why would you do it knowing the consequences?"
The oracle brightly smiled and said, "why would'nt I? His my family too, you know. You silly little brat!".
Alisha hugs the oracle tightly as tears fell down and she truthfully said, "I always thought your my mother but I'm too shy to admit."
The oracle smiled and weakly said in joy, "I always have known it, but its still moves me greatly when you say it." She pats the back of alisha soothing her like before when she was still but a child now she has grown to becoma a great mother too.
"I always love you, mother." As alisha said it the body of oracle turns to a dust.

Your thinking why did oracle Carman died that day, well because she drain all her mana to create multiple spell to help protect rylen in the future she did'nt only cast to conceal his memories but also different kinds of protective spell. The remaining life she had she gifted it to her grandchild to further prolong his life and evade the upcoming curse that was bestowed to him.
And every spell is use will slowly erase the words from his body if that was all gone he could only protect himself.
