Mistress Lydia

The Oracle

-Mistress Lydia's demand for respect.

"The Oracle" **Lydia** is the No. 7 adventurer. She is a master and connoisseur of divination and prophesied both World Wars as well as a third prophecy concerning Alex. She has three apprentices: a male sorcerer with dices, a Gypsy girl with a purple crystal ball and her most common assistant, a French girl with blonde hair and braids with Tarot cards (TadaTada hasn't named them yet). Her predictions always turn out to be accurate and reliable, although sometimes vague.

## Appearance

She has red eyes, white hair and wears a pair of identical golden earrings. She is often seen wearing a full body cloak as well as several rings. She has a black walking stick.

## Abilities and equipment

### Burning slips

The Oracle has three prophetic dreams. The first and second are about the two World Wars respectively. During the first war, she burnt the divination slips to predict the end of the war. However, the slips were never fully consumed by the flames. Only when war was officially ended did the slips burn completely. Similiarly, when WWII came, no fire could completely consume the flames until war was over. After the war with Adolf, she tried burning up the slips but after four tries they were still not completely burnt, which indicates that her third prophecy is not fufilled yet.

### Divination wheel and cards

She used this method to locate where Alex was after he was abducted by Glee.

She took and crushed the remnants of her previously burnt slips and dropped them into the divination device. The bits chose Northeast, as shown on the Divination wheel. She then spun the wheel and picked the card adjacent to NorthEast which was a picture of a clock tower, which represented the Big Ben in London.

## Prophecies and predictions

### Before the series

* World War I
* World War II

### 7th's Prophecy

Lydia wrote a prophecy to Robert. The prophecy foretold of an event comparable to a world war. He entrusted Wolfe Rodrick and Benny to protect it in the Adventurer Prison. Wolfe betrayed Robert by giving the prophecy to the Neo-Nazis. Adolf Hitler was given the prophecy, then initiated the journey to Shambhala, a place he tried to find and become god-king.

### A clock tower and a river

Lydia was asked for help to locate where the Ferocious Four took Alex. She put the ashes of the divination slips into a divination device. They landed to "NE", representing Northeast. Lydia spun the wheel, and picked the card that landed on NE. The card depicted a man rowing his boat on a river with a clock tower. A clock tower Northeast of Portugal is the Big Ben in London. The river represents the pathway to the Ferocious Four's underground banquet.

### A dog sniffing and looking for something

Axe picked a card from Lydia's card deck. The card he picked depicted a dog sniffing a flower pot. Lydia told Axe the dog searches for something. It could represent a Child of Gaia or someone related to Alex. The dog represents Long-Ears. Nemus was summoned after they sniffed Alex's hair.

### The king of kings

Before Alex and co. made their flight to the Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland, Lydia drew a card depicting three kings bowing to a higher king six times. Alex and co. will meet someone powerful, with the possibility of being friend or foe. The king of kings represents Sigurd Bodon, a skilled adventurer and a foe.

## Plot

### Season 1

#### H12 Defenders of the Earth

During the Akhator War, Robert asked her if she can locate Akhator's location. She couldn't.

### Season 2

#### H22 Treachery at the Prison

She and her apprentices saved Alex and Lulu from the dark adventurers.

#### H23 Rise of the Dark Lord

As her third great prophecy has fallen into wrong hands, she revealed the contents of the prophecy to our heroes.

#### H24 Light of the Star Guardian

The French girl wanted her to help the adventurers, but she denied, as she could not participate in events she has prophecised. Later on, she watched the sea with lightning striking out of the clouds.

### Season 3

#### H26 Escape from the Dark Banquet

She burned divination slips to see if WWIII ended. None of them burned completely, meaning her latest prophecy had not been fulfilled. Later, she used divination to help Lulu and Axe find where the Ferocious Four have taken Alex. After Lulu talked to her about what happened in the Earth's core, she began to speculate Alex was the crossed-star in her recent prophecy.

By the end of the book, she started wondering if Alex was the crossed-star even more.

#### H31 Master of the Swamp

She told Axe to pick a card that would tell his fate. He picked a card with a dog sniffing something. She thought that a dog represented loyalty and gave Alex some of Alex's hair. Later in the story, the team were infected and surrounded by Long-Ears ( a creature in North-American folklore that resembles dogs). He remembered what Lydia said and hence let one of them to sniff his hair. They then started howling before disappearing and summoned Nemus.

#### H33 Encounter in the North

She foretold Alex's and the rest of the team's fate by drawing a card six times in a row, which she warned them that someone powerful beyond their imagination would appear. This 'king of kings' turned out to be the immensely powerful Sigurd Bodon, and even with backup from Jones, Aligon and Benny, Sigurd and his team got away, injuring many accomplished adventurers.
