Destiny stayed awake the rest of the night, keeping the wheel steady, weaving her way through the rough waves. A mass of land was coming into view, a harbor just a couple knots away. She docked her ship, finding her sword and placed it on her back just in case the locals weren't friendly.

As she stepped off the ship, the townspeople kinda grouped around her ship whispering to one another. Destiny fixed her bandana and just walked past the group, only wanting to find a place to stay. As she walked, someone followed her from a distance.

She found the local inn and bought a room. As she walked to her room, the follower was behind her.

"Madam Faith has been expecting you..." The mysterious person spoke, making Destiny jump. Her sword disappeared from her back and reappeared in her hand as she turned around.

"Damn, you are very quiet. I almost didn't realize ye were behind." Destiny cleared her throat and put her sword away. The person handed her a paper with an address and three symbols in the corner. Her eyes widen, when she looked up the person was gone. She walked into her room and began reading the note.

"Dear Captain of the ship in the harbor. I am Madam Faith, the local psychic. I had a vision that a traveler would be drifting to our shore in the future. Please visit me in my shop at the edge of town at midnight. We need to have a look into your future."

The last sentence triggered her what she remembered about her dream. The symbols on the letter, the same sentence everything. Destiny realized she had to go meet this Madam Faith to figure things out...but for the moment she needed a nap.

Midnight came around, Destiny was wide awake. She walked through the dead town, a rolling fog blanketed the roads. She arrived at the edge, a beaten up shop awaited her. Approaching the door, it swung open with an eerie squeak.

"I've been expecting you...Destiny I presume?" A voice called from the darkness, slightly illuminated by soft candlelight. Destiny walked inside as the door closed behind her.

"Yer Madam Faith aren't ye?" Fear was heard in her voice, her accent showing itself.

The woman walked into the light. She had pale brown skin and long black hair. The way she knew it was her was the multicolored eyes. Her left was like an emerald, while her right was a sapphire.

She nodded and responded; "You would be correct, I had a vision that you would come to our shores. You came here due to a broken heart haven't you?"

Destiny looked in shock, how could she possibly know that...?

"We have much to discuss." Faith said as the snapped her fingers, her shop lighting up in a flash...
