Chapter 312: A New Prophecy
Chapter 312: A New Prophecy
Celia Bennett's POV:
Was any of this even happening right now? Here I was, lying on a strange bed with a table, and I thought some random person was touching me. I couldn't feel the connection between Master Pierre and me, and I didn't exactly understand why.
Then, to make matters even more insane, I do believe I was on the verge of a total and utter breakdown, more commonly known as a panic attack. However, my brain thought it, but my body didn't act. There was no crying, there was no freaking out, as I have done many times before, so I was fully capable and aware of what I should have been doing.
All of that includes rapid heartbeat, which I started to have and then all of a sudden didn't. I don't understand how it just all vanished. It all went away just like that.
It wasn't until this little old lady, who had an interesting way of speaking, reached out and took one of my hands and one of hers and Master Pierre's hands and the other. All of a sudden, I felt weird. Like... I was having an out-of-body experience.
I was supposed to be lying there naked on the table. I could still see out of my own eyes, but I didn't feel like myself. I felt as if I were standing. How could that be? How can I be lying here and feel as if I am standing?
As I looked over at this little lady, she was talking in some random language. Language that I had yet to study, and I studied a diverse range of languages in college. So this... This didn't make any sense to me as to what was going on.
Finally, she released both of our hands, and I once again felt as if I was lying back on the table. It almost felt as if I was dropped on top of the table, which I couldn't at all explain, considering I was lying here the entire time.
"You see now," the little lady said as she looked up at Master Pierre, still holding on to his hand, but she had previously released mine. "I told you. You need find Yin. Yin make you whole. But first. You must bring Yin home. Home is where Yin and Yang activate."
At that point, she turned to look at me and smiled greatly before she turned back to look at Master Pierre and continued to pat him on the top of the hand. My eyes went wide at the fact that this little lady thinks that she knows exactly what was going on between us.
"You remember?" She turned to look at Master Pierre and asked him. "You came to me long time ago. Ask for me to heal you. I tell you. You no sick. You need Yin. You no whole without Yin. You understand now?"
"Thinking you explain exactly what had just happened?" I asked as Master Pierre was still silent at this particular point.
"Yes," said the little lady. "I explain. I explain."
"Yin and Yang make each other whole. Yang take in Yin thoughts and feelings. Yin take in Yeng thoughts and feelings. You need each other."
My eyes still went wide at what had just happened. I don't understand how being here made it to where he could take my feelings into himself, just because this little old lady says it's true.
"You hear of prophecy?" The little lady asked as she turned to look at me.
I narrowed my eyes at her as I began to shake my head back and forth lightly. "No, I have not heard of any sort of prophecy. What prophecy are you referring to?" I then turned to the side so that I could look at Master Pierre, who was still standing there without speaking. "Have you heard of any sort of prophecy that she might be referring to?"
"Prophecy save the world. Prophecy save," said the little old lady.
"How exactly is that supposed to work?" I asked as she still held onto Master Pierre's hand.
"You must give time. She need to heal. Her Qi is weak. Once heal, both will become strong," she said as she reached into her bag and finally let go of master Pierre's hand for the first time.
I didn't even realize that she was carrying a bag with her. She must've set it down before she walked up.
"Here," she said as she pulled out a small card and reached over to hand it to Master Pierre. "You read. It explain." She said as she turned to look at me and smile. "Now I must go. Call me when need me to come back. Next time I do acupuncture. That will help Yin Qi heal. Bye-bye for now."
And at that she turned to leave the room. I was so confused at this point that I didn't exactly know what to say. Qi?
"Are you serious?" I asked as I turned to look at Master Pierre, whose hands were lightly shaking as he held onto the small card that she had previously given him. "Master Pierre? Are you all right?"
"I will be fine," I heard him say as he looked at the small card, set it down on the floor, and instead picked up the small bottle he had previously let me read while he sat on the floor beneath me.
"Wait, you're not a start that again, are you?" I asked, seriously confused, as if he was just gonna start this whole massage process over.
"She is right," Master Pierre said in that moment. "You do need to heal. And this is one way to help you do that."
"How?!" I asked in a tone a little louder than I had originally anticipated. "How is this supposed to help?"
"You heard the little old lady," Master Pierre said as he poured a decent amount into his cupped hand, and then he set the bottle back on the floor. "You need to heal your Qi. Us being together, especially here in this sacred place, will definitely help that."
"I'm not exactly sure how that is supposed to..." I tried to say, and then my words were immediately cut off no sooner than he laid his hands on the center of my back.
It is as if the words were taken right out of my very lungs. Instead of mental frustration, I was flooded with nothing but relief. Total and utter peace!
"Are you doing this?"
"I am. Now enjoy it."
