I shook my head, “Thank you, Deionarra, I’ll <strong>do</strong> my <strong>be</strong>st <strong>to</strong> find one.” I<br />

turned <strong>to</strong> leave.<br />

"Hold a moment,” she circled around, floating <strong>to</strong> face me. The cold air<br />

billowed about her and I shivered, “I learned much when I traveled with you,<br />

my Love, and what you have lost, I have retained. I have <strong>not</strong> divulged all that<br />

I know <strong>to</strong> you. My sight is clear... whilst you fumble in the darkness for a<br />

spark <strong>of</strong> thought." Her eyes were bright now, eager, willing <strong>to</strong> help.<br />

I smiled in gratitude, and she seemed elated. She still loved me, then, more<br />

deeply than anything. Dhall was right. Passions bind us <strong>to</strong> this plane, and if<br />

Deionarra were ever <strong>to</strong> achieve peace, I must either join her, or she must<br />

learn <strong>to</strong> forget me as I have her, "And what is it your sight sees that I <strong>do</strong><br />

<strong>not</strong>?"<br />

"Time itself relaxes its hold as the chill <strong>of</strong> oblivion slowly claims us, my Love.<br />

Glimpses <strong>of</strong> things yet <strong>to</strong> come swarm across my vision. I see you, my Love. I<br />

see you as you are now, and..." Deionarra grows quiet. Her face grew placid,<br />

expressionless, and her eyes shut as if she were in a trance.<br />

"What is it? What <strong>do</strong> you see?"<br />

"I see what lies ahead for you. It ripples through the planes, stemming<br />

outward from this point. Shall I speak <strong>of</strong> what I see?" she in<strong>to</strong>ned.<br />

"Tell me. Please."<br />

"First, I require a promise. Promise you will return. That you will find some<br />

means <strong>to</strong> save me or join me." I hesitated a moment, suddenly skeptical.<br />

True, perhaps I needed <strong>to</strong> die, perhaps I needed <strong>to</strong> set things right.<br />

Footsteps echoed <strong>do</strong>wn the hall once more, but it wasn’t panic that drove<br />

me. I centered myself, grew calm, and looked Deionarra in the eye <strong>to</strong> make<br />

a vow.<br />

"I swear I will find some means <strong>to</strong> save you or join you, Deionarra."<br />

She nodded, smiled, more than satisfied, "This is what my eyes see, my<br />

Love, unfettered by the shackles <strong>of</strong> time..."<br />

"You shall meet enemies three, but none more dangerous than yourself in<br />

your full glory. They are shades <strong>of</strong> evil, <strong>of</strong> good, and <strong>of</strong> neutrality given life<br />
