Derrick's eyes locked onto Ravenna's, searching for answers. "What do you mean by 'fulfill your destiny'?" he asked, his voice firm but cautious.
Ravenna's smile grew wider, her eyes glinting with amusement. "You're a curious one, Derrick," she said, her voice dripping with intrigue. "I like that. Come, let's talk inside. The rain is getting heavier."
Without waiting for an invitation, Ravenna stepped forward, her long coat swirling around her like a dark mist. Derrick hesitated for a moment before stepping aside, allowing her to enter.
As they walked into the living room, Ravenna's gaze swept the space, taking in the sparse decorations and the faint scent of old books. "You have a unique aura about you, Derrick," she said, her voice thoughtful. "One that speaks of great potential and great danger."
Derrick's instincts kicked in, warning him to be careful. "What do you want from me?" he asked, his tone direct.
Ravenna's smile faltered for a moment, revealing a glimmer of something else – something almost like sadness. "I want to help you, Derrick," she said, her voice low and husky. "I want to guide you towards your true potential."
As she spoke, Ravenna's eyes seemed to bore into Derrick's soul, as if searching for something hidden deep within. "You see, Derrick, I've been watching you for some time now. I've been studying your family's legacy, and I believe you have a crucial role to play in the future of the magical world."
Derrick's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with questions. "What role?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Ravenna's gaze intensified, her eyes burning with an inner fire. "You're a key part of an ancient prophecy, Derrick," she said, her voice filled with conviction. "A prophecy that speaks of great change and great danger. But also of great hope and great opportunity."
Derrick's heart pounded in his chest as he listened to Ravenna's words. He felt like he was standing at the edge of a precipice, staring into an unknown future.
"What do I need to do?" he asked, his voice firm.
Ravenna's smile returned, her eyes glinting with amusement. "Ah, Derrick," she said, her voice dripping with intrigue. "You need to learn to control your powers, to harness your potential. And you need to be prepared to face the challenges that lie ahead."
