"Hallo!"
"..."
"Hey, don't just stare at me as if I'm some abnormality!"
"Well, what did you call me out here for?" I asked the black-haired Saint. If I remember right, I was following King Rambo as he rushed to the Holy Chambers' palace while carrying Her Holiness. Then I was caught in a bright flash of white light, and now that I looked around me, am I in a sort of dream again?
"You are." the black-haired Saint replied, "Although I prefer I appear to you next time we meet, I have to use your mind to come for you."
"Hm? You talk like you have something urgent for me, uh, what should I call you? Perhaps 'Your Holiness' would suffice?"
"Oh right, I haven't told you my name yet. Just call me Natasha." the Saint named Natasha then muttered, "'Your Holiness' is a bit too much for me if it comes from you after all."
I quite heard that but decided to keep silent about it.
"Ah, anyway, I heard they started calling you 'Kuro' here?"
"Yes, for now, I'm Kuro," I answered.
"Okay then."
"So, what is it you want to tell me?"
"Ah right. Thanks for reminding me." Natasha recalled the reason behind her sudden appearance, "Well, aside from claiming some 'air time' to remind the readers of this stupid story that I still exist, I have to talk to you about the future."
"The future?" aside from the initial nonsense Natasha spouted, I was surprised when she mentioned the word 'future', "You mean you can see into the future?"
"Well, not too much. I can only experience visions of the near future, not far into it."
"Oh okay...still, I think it's cool." I looked at her with admiration. I honestly wished I had the same abilities.
"Thanks!"
"Does this mean Her Holiness the Saint of Chersea can also do that?"
"Unfortunately, even as she is a Saint, the gods simply didn't grant her that ability. Her divine gift lies in her power to heal the sick and the gravest of injuries, while they gave me the knowledge of the future."
"So, you mean, different saints having different divine abilities?"
"Yep. The gods have deliberately made it so that no one has the power to dominate the others. See, there were other saints besides me and Madelaine—your saint over there—that possess powers like turning water into wine, multiplying a few pieces of food to feed the crowd, and even control over the weather.
Somehow that setting reminded me of the miracles that could be found in the Bible. And I was also surprised to hear that other saints exist in this world.
Natasha then continued, "Anyhow, let's proceed with what I'm about to tell you. As I have said, I have the power to see into the future, and I came to you now in a hurry because I need to tell a matter of utmost importance."
"Which is?"
"Well, be more aware of how you deal with the people around you."
"Huh? What do you mean by that?"
"You know of a certain theory back in our old world called, 'The Butterfly Effect', right?" Natasha asked, "To cut it short, your actions have already influenced the timeline of this world."
I fell silent upon hearing about the 'Butterfly Effect' theory. For those who didn't know about it yet, it's a theory about the effect of things that happened in relevance to its importance. For example, a butterfly fluttering its tiny wings in Arles may be deemed insignificant for the time, but somehow, that insignificant event could have a profound effect on the brewing of a tremendous storm over the Holy Palatial Gardens.
