THE SEER'S DUTY
He cleared his throat.
‘My girl, I’m sorry you had to see this, this is part of our life, now please go, run and never look back, go somewhere no one will know about you. I have to fulfill my duty as a seer, he emphasized on the word seer, ‘we are seers it’s our duty to protect our lands, someday you’ll learn to forgive me for killing your mother, she was my guardian, her duty was to protect me, she died saving my life. She took my bullet,’ he explained to her, with so much pain in his eyes, he send his child away
She was scared, she didn’t want to contradict his words, a voice inside told her to run for her life, and the other told her to stay and give her mother a proper burial.
