Revan stirred awake in her bed. Her head was already aching due to a flood of visions in her sleep she couldn't even remember. She yawned and sat up. The vision she received in her head two years ago was still fresh in her mind. She could only remember the visions of things that weren't as important. Though she remembered her first vision. And her second. On the day that Arthur ran away. That night she had a vision. Of a tall well built man dragging the corpse of a wolf to a village shrouded in eternal darkness.
'These damned visions are so confusing…and just a pain in the ass in general.'
She opened her status window.
[Name: Revan Zephyr Class: Elementalist Subclass: Prophet Level: 40 Skills: {Foresight}, {Fireball}, {Thunderbolt}, {Wall of Earth}, {Water Blast}, {Sprit Communion}, {Spirit Bond}.]
'Same old same old…'
She sighed and closed her status window. Sitting in front of her mirror and brushing in her hair. As she sat in deep thought a shining white Fox appeared beside her.
"Aria! It's been days! Did you find anything out?"
The spirit of light pranced onto Revan's bed.
"Ah…yes, I've found the boy you've been talking about but…I didn't think you'd be involved with someone as involved in the cycle."
Revan raised an eyebrow.
"The cycle?"
"Right. I haven't explained it to you yet. It's basically just fate manifested in an eternal cycle of rebirth. Also called Samsara. The beings entwined in its games have their names. There are the heralds, the calamities, the gods, the Wyrms, the titans, and the demons. That boy you're looking for is two of them."
"Eh?!"
The white fox simply nodded in a response.
"Not only that but he has a rather…troubling companion."
"Someone you know?"
"You could say he's an old friend of mine."
"Anyways, enough about that. Where is he right now?"
"Theres a village in the far east that was abandoned by the gods. It's laid in eternal darkness and cold. I have no idea why any sane person would choose to live there. But he seems to be doing well for himself. And the seal your father put onto him is still active."
"Alright…well. What are we waiting for?"
Revan got dressed in her hunting outfit but added a pair of comfortable boots and a fur coat. She then leaped out of her window and made for the journey east.
Back at the village, Arthur was chopping a tree. His aura enhanced axe cleanly swung through the base of the tree in an instant. He cut them up until he had enough for firewood. And dragged the rest to the cabin. He threw the excess against his cabin wall and tossed the firewood into the fireplace. Where Thanatos set it on fire with a small fire spell. Arthur settled down onto the rough straw bed and fell asleep.
In his dreams he was standing in an endless abyss, and a blue flame crackled before him. He walked towards the flame. As he touched the blue flame it twisted and turned. Before it formed into a human like figure. With horns of blue fire. It's fiery palm stretching towards Arthur. Arthur summoned the sword of broken oath and sliced it apart.
"Do you really have to show up in my dreams every night? You damn bastard."
Arthur stomped out the beast of blue fire. Before more and more appeared. He enhanced the obsidian great sword with aura and sliced and cut through them relentlessly. The blue light illuminated the darkness as it tore through the hordes of fiery creatures. The sword danced on the bodies of the creatures as the last one fell to his feet. And he woke up from that dream.
