The Vision Fades

The Black Void - Episode 2588

The horrible, nightmarish vision fades, and I finally exhale, my breath catching in my throat as the beginnings of a sob. I squeeze my eyes shut tightly, but cannot stop the tears. It only takes a moment for the monks to notice my distress. Brother Jess breaks from his meditation and lays a hand on my shoulder. "What's wrong? What did you see?"

Not knowing what else to do, I confide in him what I have seen. "It is amazing that you have had such a vision your first time meditating." he remarks.

"It was awful. But what does it mean? Did I see the future?" I sigh, knowing that if it is, I must avoid such a possible future at all costs.

"Possibly. Preminitions are powerful visions, capabale of showing us outcomes of our decisions, and to guide us to the correct path." Jess replies. "There is another possiblity. You could have been experiencing events through the eyes of someone you share a bond with."

"Well... I do have a friend enslaved in the mines, but in the vision I was myself, not him."

"It's not uncommon for us to view ourelves as taking the place of another when we see their experiences through visions." Jess explains.

I shake my head. It's all so confusing. I think of Don, and how much he must have suffered to survive those harsh conditions, if that is what the vision was meant to show me. But why would I see such a thing now? Don's almost free, right?

  1. "You don't look well, young lady. Perhaps you'd care to lie down?" I follow Jess to a small room with a bed and a desk. I fall asleep soon afterwards.
  2. I attempt to resume meditation, hoping I can get some answers.
  3. After what I've seen, I am no longer content to wait for Zal to rescue Don. I must figure out a way to help them!
  4. A monk appears at the doorway. "Someone is here to see you."
