So Vivian began again, and as the anticipation in the officials' eyes grew even more.
He said, "My intuition has many abilities, and one among them is this."
He closed his eyes for a short moment and focused.
Not long after, long dark shadows started to wiggle around him.
The shadows moved slowly at first, like they were waking up, then they spread across the floor.
Seeing this, the guards raised their weapons at once.
But the commander of the royal army turned his gaze toward them, and they froze on the spot without even finishing the movement.
A few drops of sweat rolled down their faces.
When the commander looked away, the guards quickly stepped back into place, trying not to make any sound.
The shadows kept wiggling, as if they had their own life.
The floor under Vivian's feet darkened in a strange way, darker than any normal shadow.
It felt like the ground itself was sinking into night.
Vivian spoke in a steady voice.
"Revenant."
