บท 312: Fateful Encounter

"Young man, there's a fateful encounter waiting for you." 

Lucas stopped in his tracks and looked at the old man. For some reason, this old man looked very familiar. Lucas felt as if he had met this man before.

"...you are?" Lucas asked, feeling a bit suspicious of the old man.

"I am just a mere astrologer, going to places where the wind takes me. So, young man, do you wish to know the fateful encounter? It'll only cost you 1 silver coin." The old man replied in a calm manner.

Lucas nodded and gave the man a coin. He felt the man was suspicious but since the price wasn't too much, it was worth trying.

The old man took the coin from Lucas and said to him, "in the desert, near an oasis with three palm trees, when the sun sets, a newborn shall hatch." 

Lucas thought about what the old man had just said and not understanding what it was, he was about to ask the old man again about it when he saw the old man had vanished.
