It's a big growing gap between you and me
There was a doodle in front of my eyes

I push back into my dream.

While Luna was still sleeping as if she was in a nightmare-induced sleep. Aunt Ines was still talking to Mr. Sanchez. Maria was wiping the sweat from Luna's hot and perspiring face.

....
Aunt Ines's eyes widen at Mr. Sanchez's labored breath.

"Oh Dios mío! Ms. Inés... Acabo de llamar para darte cuenta de que algo extraño ocurrió temprano esta mañana.." Oh my gosh, Sénor! Does it has anything with the Oracles' doing. Is it connected to the curse.

Me Sanchez inhaled deeply and hesitantly stated, "Sólo los dos lo sabemos. Mario, el guardia de seguridad, y su amigo fueron a inspeccionar para asegurarse de que no era un problema de iluminación. Los relámpagos se mantuvieron en marcha y no había nada siniestro al respecto... pero Sénor Mario es antiguo y cree en supersticiones... notificó a la dirección de que algo estaba mal con el halo y la estatua. Su historia fue increíble, y sólo tuvo que escuchar... especialmente cuando vio a los seres grises girando alrededor de las reliquias. Se aterrorizó y se negó a entrar en el cuarto. Cree que la reliquia donada maldijo al museo"Only the two of us know about that. Mario, the security guard, and his buddy went to inspect to make sure it wasn't a lighting issue. The downlights remained on and there was nothing sinister about it...but Sénor Mario is ancient and believes in superstitions...he notified management that something was wrong with the halo and the statue.
The story he told was fantastical...he could just listen because he saw strange gray being that was moving around the relics.
He was so terrified and profusely refused to enter Room 4. He believes that the donated relic placed a  cursed in the museum."

"¡Oh, mi gosh! Oh, my gosh!" Aunt Ines gasped shocked., "She has a fever right now. We tried to wake her, but she was fast asleep. She appeared to be in pain in her belly."Lunas' condition was made known to him by Aunt Ines.

"Después de las donaciones, Sénor Gonzales me hizo promesa de no revelar el antecedente de la reliquia a los medios o al museo, principalmente para mantener a su familia Gonzales y a Luna fuera de los ojos de los medios.After the donations, Sénor Gonzales made me promise not to reveal the backstory of the relic to the media or museum, primarily to keep their Gonzales family and Luna out of the media's eyes," said Sénor Sanchez.

"Parece que el Oracle está decidido a dejar a Luna cicatrizada.Seems like the Oracle is adamant about leaving Luna scarred," Aunt Ines sighed.

The only evidence we have is to wait and see whether Luna has any further visions, "Tal vez la Oracle está trabajando su camino fuera de su sistema... pero podría venir con un premio". "Maybe the Oracle is working its way out of her system...but it might come with a prize," he concluded.

"Qué quieres decir? What do you mean?" Aunt Ines asked, her brow furrowed.

"Recuerdan las advertencias de los Shamans?Remember the Shamans' warnings?" he asks softly.

"La advertencia sobre los sueños y la fiebre?"The warning about the dreams and fevers?" scowled Aunt Ines.

"Sí, recuerda que los sueños serán atormentados con imágenes ominosas, o muertes brutales, o incluso fantasmas de tus parientes de la muerte del pasado que la perseguirán por un periodo de tiempo... hasta que deje para siempre."Yes, remember that her dreams will be plagued with menacing images, or brutal deaths, or even ghosts of your death relatives from the past, that will haunt her for a period...until it might later leaves for good," he explained.

"Luna might be having it right now. Hemos contactado con el shaman y ahora estamos esperando su llegada. Luego llamaremos a un médico para tratar a Luna. Hoy es su cumpleaños y necesitamos volver a Seúl. Ella obtuvo su alma, y estamos preocupados de que su alma gemela la pueda encontrar antes, especialmente dado que Luna es tan frágil en este momento.No estamos seguros de si ella eligió su destino sabiamente. Afortunadamente, tenemos un remedio para "clararlo" de la conciencia. El oráculo se asegurará de que se reúna con él de inmediato".We did contacted the shaman and are now wait for her arrival. Then we'll afterward summon a doctor to treat Luna. And today is her birthday, and we need to hurry back to Seoul. She got her soulmark, and we're concerned that her soul mate might find her sooner, especially since Luna is so fragile right now.We're not sure if she has the courage to chose her fate wisely. Fortunately, we have a remedy to "blind" him from awareness. The Oracle will make sure she meets him right away."Aunt Ines looks so weary.

"Ya lo conoce?"Does she know him?" asks Sénor Sanchez, cautiously. "Será muy difícil esconderse de éll,It will be extremely difficult to hide from him."

Aunt Ines, take a deep breath,"Realmente deseo que su llegada sea retrasada. El problema será su incapacidad para comprender por qué se unió a su alma gemela más joven, que todavía tiene 17 años, antes de su cumpleaños 18. Incluso si sus marcas coinciden...sólo la conciencia en el 18o, el brillo de neón, el toque ardiente, el contacto con los ojos -la mitad del vínculo- puede confirmarlo. Todo está previsto para ocurrir el 18 y Luna encarna la marca de Oracle. La manera de Oracles de permitirle tiempo para hacer la elección correcta es hacerla consciente de él más temprano. Si ella conoce a su alma compañera ahora, las cosas serán mil veces más complicadas. Si se les obliga, él cuestionará su edad.' I really wish that his arrival is delayed. The issue will be his inability to fully understand why he soulbonded with his younger soulmate, who is still 17 years old, before his 18th birthday. Even if their markings match...only the awareness at 18th, the brilliant neon glow, the scorching touch, deep eye contact- the half bond- can confirm it. Everything is supposed to happen on the 18th year, and Luna embodies the Oracle's mark also. The Oracles' plan is to  allow her time to make the correct choice and thar is to make her aware of him sooner. If she meets her soulmate now, things will be a thousand times more complicated. If they bond, he will question her age."

Sénor Sanchez whistles at the opposing side" Eso es interesante. ¿Cómo va a explicar eso? Esperamos que la conozca después de su 18o cumpleaños el próximo año. Así que dime cómo vas a salir con eso! That's interesting. How is she going to explain that? We hope she meets him after her 18th birthday next year. So tell me how you're going to get away with that!"

Aunt Ines groaned dejectedly, "El xamán nos dio una porción para cegarle el alma. The shaman gave us a portion to'soul blind him," hoping that it would work until she reached the age of eighteen."

"Pobre Luna no se supone que conozca a su alma gemela tan temprano".poor Luna is not supposed to know her soulmate so early," Sénor Sanchez says regrettably."Para ambos, la concienciación comienza a los dieciocho años.Espero sinceramente que él aún no cumpla los dieciséis por vuestro bien. Su encuentro soulmark le alertará, pero tendrá que ser consciente y vincularse con ellos para confirmar la autenticidad de sus marcas.For both of them, awareness begins at the age of eighteen.I sincerely hope he isn't yet eighteen for your sake. His soulmark match will alert him, but he will need to be aware and bond with them to confirm the genuineness of their marks."

"Esto es tan complicado, This is so complicated," Aunt Ines groans."Ella miró a él en la escuela, pero tuvo numerosas visiones del mismo niño que lo muestran en grave peligro. El oráculo se asegura de que tengan muchas oportunidades para encontrarse y ella no tuvo otra opción que protegerlo. Siempre la llevó a protegerlo, pero cuando mi madre lo supo nos mudamos abruptamente a otra escuela".My sister laid her eyes on her soulmate at school but she had numerous visions of the same boy that shows him in severe danger. The oracle make sure they have ample opportunities to meet and she had no choice but to protect him. It always drove her to safe him, but when my mother found out we abruptly transferred to another school.'

Just then the doorbell interred their conversation. Maria ran down the stairs to go open the door with anticipation.

It was the Shaman...standing with a grim expression on her golden brown wrinkled face...

......

"Senora Ana, ah! Good morning," Aunt Ines raced over to the middle-aged, wrinkled Shaman, who simply nodded with a smile and was hastily taken upstairs, where Luna was still ill and whimpering in her sleep. The three women entered the bedroom cautiously. Senora Ana quietly placed all her healing items on the floor in front of Lunas' bed.

Senora Ana I a well known Shaman in their community and Aunt Ines summoned her for a private healing consultation.  When she saw Luna sweaty face, her eyes turned into glowing while pupils. It was as if she was possessed that scared Maria half to death as she clutched Aunt Ines around her arms in sheer terror.

The Shaman began to chant in a strange dialect,  summoning the Great Spirit.
It had to give her the revelation about the conflict Luna I'd busy having in the spiri world. Aunt Ines stood with bated breath as the Shaman delved into the deep darkness of the spirit where Luna was in a severe spiritual battle.

Then she gasped when her eyes returned to normal and is back to reality.

Then she was muttering some bizarre phrases like chants and beat a drum, while walking around Lunas bedside. As she chants, Lunas face became profusely perspiring. Aunt Ines was standing with bated breath, caressing a frightened Maria's arm, assuring her not to feel anxious and afraid. Her eyes were wide.

Then the shaman, Senora Ana whispered to the women in the room with widen eyes," Senora Ines, Lunas soul is in a severe spiritual battle---the affliction of the Oracle brought these horrendous dreams. It might last for a while,"

Senora Ana muttered to the two women standing with wide eyes, "Senora Ines, Luna is in spiritual combat. The oracle has afflicted her with dreadful dreams that will last for a while."

She looked at Maria and asked her to give them some privacy. Maria was too relieved to escape the room, she nodded and look at Aunt Ines before she left the room quickly, because the atmosphere was dark, heavy and eerie.

Senora Ana took out a little grass mat and laid it on the bedroom carpet. She took out a container with different herbs and little objects. Aunt Ines was urged to sit in front of her. She was again doing some chants and started to burn some of the incense, and the room was ignited with a strong, sweet, and sticky smell.

Aunt Ines looked a little worried when the shaman's rough hands grasped her hands; she almost choked on the suffocating smoke. Senora Ana closed her eyes and started to call on some spirits until her head fell backward and Aunt Ines inhaled deeply as Senora Ana's eyes got empty and far as she closed her eyes and began to call on some spirits.

A different spirit took over her body because her voice altered to an ominous tone, "For an Oracle to be appeased, a life for a life, a blood sacrifice must be made. Choose who will be the ultimate sacrifice on the altar. Choose to live or choose to die- will it be the seers' and her life partners' potion?... Choose from the Patriarch Josés' bloodline...choose..choose..." she chants a few times.

Aunt Ines' eyes were wide open. Senora Ana contacts the oracle's spirit, and before it can depart Luna for good, she needs to place a family member as a blood sacrifice. A life for a life.

Aunt Ines gasped. Oh, my Goodness no! Who will Luna choose to sacrifice for the curse to leave the bloodline of Jose for good? How can she choose someone to lose so that she and her soulmate can live?

Luna loves her family with all her heart...she might sacrifice herself.
