Bliss nodded. “That is what I have discovered through the years.”
“Have you ever removed a curse from someone?”
“A curse or spell can only be removed by the person who cast it or one more powerful than she or he,” Bliss said.
“You are powerful,” Tara said, her violet eyes turning wide. “I saw how you have healed Trey and in such a short time.”
“Trey has yet to fully heal,” Bliss said. “I but help him along.”
Tara refused her explanation. “No, I have seen your remarkable power to heal. Trey’s wounds were near to filling with poison. You stopped that and reduced the redness to almost nothing. That is power.”
“To heal,” Bliss reminded.
“You’re my only hope,” Tara pleaded.
“Unselfish love is your only hope.”
“What do you mean?” Tara asked.
“An unselfish love in your life counters the curse, but only when you realize it.”
“How can that be when you just told me that a curse can only be removed by the one who cast it, or one more powerful?”
“I’m not sure what I mean,” Bliss said. “That is the problem with this knowing of mine. I don’t always understand what it is I know.”
Once more Tara felt the heavy weight descend on her shoulders, which sagged from the burden.
“You should smile,” Bliss advised. “There is a way for the curse to be lifted; you must just realize it.”
“If I haven’t realized it by now, how will I ever?”
“Love has a way of bringing to us what we need,” Bliss said, “especially when it is given as a gift from the heart.”
Gift from the heart.
The words resonated in her head like a bell tolling in the distance, a familiar bell.
“Think on it,” Bliss advised. “It will come to you.”
Peaceful warmth settled around Tara like the arm of an old friend wrapping around her, and she suddenly felt confident that Bliss was right. It would come to her. The problem was what would she do until then?
“You must trust in love,” Bliss said, as if hearing Tara’s silent question.
“So far that has been dangerous for me.”
Bliss tilted her head and scrunched her brow. “I believe what it has done is brought you where you were meant to be.”
“You often speak in riddles.”
“That eventually make sense,” Bliss assured her. “But that doesn’t help when you worry over what you can do now.”
“Time grows short.”
“Yes, I know,” Bliss confirmed. “But a solution will soon present itself.”
“It will settle the matter?”
“Only if you trust in love,” Bliss warned.
