Chapter 1: Part 2
Lukana Octo was a twenty year old woman that owned a tailor shop in Mystica, located in the southern part of Asmodean.
It was a village which was worlds apart from the capital, Lasaland. Positively speaking, it was a simple and carefree village; negatively speaking, it was a piece of uncultivated land.
Being born there, the charming Lukana possessed an aura of elegance that had always caught peoples’ attention ever since she was young.
Lukana was not born into a wealthy family, yet why did she have a charm that commoners did not? This was once the popular topic of gossipers. Regarding the conclusion, people hypothesized that it might be due to her grandmother being a “Leviantan”.
The Magic Kingdom Levianta — it was rumored that there was such a country south of Asmodean. Just as stated in the name, most of the citizens were “mages”, having unimaginable powers and appearances that could only be described as “beastly beautiful”. Levianta was destroyed a hundred years ago, causing the number of mages to dwindle to pathetic numbers. And the majority would agree that most of the self-proclaimed “mages” are actually just scammers.
Lukana’s ancestor might have just been one of those “mages”. That would explain her uncommon aura of elegance.
And there was evidence to support this point. When Lukana was ten years old, she cried to her mother that she had a dream that “the village would face a drought”.
The rainfall of Mystica was already not high, originally, and the number of problems which were caused by the lack of water was also not few, thus, Lukana’s mother did not take her words to heart. She replied , “It’s probably a nightmare that stemmed from the experience which you had when you were young about the problems caused by a lack of water.”
Therefore, Lukana went around telling villagers about what she had dreamt instead. But everyone acted the same as her mother; they refused to believe the words from the dream of a young child.
The only person who was willing to believe the child was one woman. With golden hair and donning a black robe, she was there to pay a visit to Mystica’s n.o.ble, a guest of Earl Ferdinand.
After the black robed woman heard Lukana’s full dream, she left Mystica.
After that, Mystica was faced with a severe drought that they had never experienced before.
There was no rain for months, and the ground had cracked under the sun’s brilliance.
When the villagers finally believed Lukana’s “premonition”, it was already too late.
Throats were dry, crops were unable to grow in the dry weather… when everyone was prepared for death, the black robed woman appeared once again.
She went to the ancient ruins on the mountains that were near Mystica and took out an “eight-legged creature” that no one knew where she attained from. She then started praying to the G.o.ds for rain.
As if the ceremony was taken as some sort of signal, rain had finally fallen down on Mystica for the first time in months.
The rain lasted three days and three nights, ending Mystica’s drought. However, the mountains which the black robed woman had performed the ceremony on were forever enshrouded in thick fog, and the name was thus changed to the “Misty Mountain”.
Lukana, who forecasted the drought, and the “mage”, who stopped the drought, became a hot topic in Asmodean. However, ever since then, Lukana did not have any other “premonition dreams”, and the sorceress had also left the country, causing people to slowly stop talking about it.
