A Boundless Shadow

Seasons Changing

~~~~Damien's POV~~~~
I returned home from the Hospital, parking the cycle outside near the garage, then proceeded to enter the house. It was already late in the night, almost everyone around were already asleep except for Christian. It seems he just left the kitchen to grab a drink and left, I gestured him to come over and sit on the couch; he looked around for a second and then walked towards the living area. Once we reached the couch, he put the glass on the table and sat down, I sat across the table.

After a few moments in silence, Christian's voice broke the silence, "How was meeting with Dr. Vasilaki?"

I replied back to him with what happened, "If I'm being honest, it left me with more questions than answers. These visions or memories I'm experiencing, they're so life like, it feels like I'm there physically and mentally. To be honest, I don't know what to make of this"

I faced up towards Christian and he was just looking outwards like he was deep in thought, after a few seconds, he returned back to reality. He then proceeded to explain that he also gets similar visions to what I'm having but as a different person. While he was explaining the whole situation of his side, I tried to piece up all of the pieces to see if there are any connections between our characters. Though the attempt of trying to create a connection ends up in futile as the story doesn't match that well.

We both decided to keep this within ourselves for now as we both have no idea how to deal with that situation, I then advised we should head to our rooms as we still have school in the morning. As soon as the door closed for my room, it feels like my entire surrounding was engulfed in darkness, I tried to make use of the situation and look around but it's nothing but the abyss. after a few minutes, a voice called out, it was raspy and cold like a commanding tone.

"Be careful of what the future awaits, until then, You will meet many allies until that day. There will be two tomorrow, they will be useful in the cause"

After that message, I shot up from my bed; trying to piece the information of what I was given. Unfortunately, it doesn't make sense to me, what day is he referring about? So many questions are appearing in my mind but undoubtedly couldn't be answered. Realizing the time, I go up from my mind and started preparing for the day. The day started as normal, woke everyone up and had breakfast, then cleaned up. there was some free time before we had to leave for school so I went to my room and did some investigating.

Went through every records of the past 3000 years ago, though nothing pops up. Search after search, still no concrete evidence of anything as there wasn't many records of it due to it mostly being destroyed during the war. though after continually searching for a hole, a clue popped up for me, it showed the names of all members of the titan guardians. I compared this list o other sites to make sure it was concrete evidence and it was, while scrolling through the list, a name appears.

Solaris

The name was mentioned a bit when I was in my visions, it seems like I'm playing as the role of him in there. I looked at the description of Solaris and almost spat out my drink, he was the Emperor of that time and led the Titan Guardians to victory. This caused a large surprise for me as I never expected I was playing the role of him, though as I was deep in though, Xavier came into the room and snapped me back to reality. He said him and the others wee waiting for me in the car, I apologized to him and ran to the car.

Once we both got into the car, I apologized to the driver and he just chuckled a bit then proceeded to drive off. My siblings looked confused as to why I was a bit late to get into the car as they know I have the tendency to be quite early. I explained to them that everything is okay and that it was simply a fluke, the others seemed to have let that go except for Christian as he has a general idea of what might of happened. Though, when looking at Edward, it seems like he's hiding something but I decided not to push it as we all have secrets and he can tell us if he wants to.

We then arrived to the school, Xavier opened the door of the car and we followed after him, once all of us has gotten out of the car, we thanked the driver and closed the door. He then drove off and all that was left was for us to walk to the school grounds Though, Xavier and Christian had to go to a separate way as they have different classes to us, so they said their goodbyes for now and that we'll meet up with them at break. Llana nudged us to head to our designated classes, we followed her to the designated classroom and went to our seats.

while talking to each other, two other students entered the classroom, one has orange hair and the other has a faded blonde type of hair, they both chatted and walked to an empty duo of seat at the side. When they passed us, she stopped looking at her friend and looked at us in the corner of her eye and smiled a bit. Edward looked at me confused as to what was that about but I made the same face to hint that I don't have any idea either. He shrugged it off and went back to talking with Llana, though I'm lying if I didn't say I'm curious as to why she was looking at me. after that, my immediate thought led to, 'What caused her to smirk at me when she went past?'

After pondering for a few seconds, I hook the thought and went back to speaking with Llana. The teacher then proceeded to enter the classroom, today's lesson seems to be about Oceanography.  The teacher went on to explain the ocean on our planet and all its life it offers, he then also explaining the deepest level in the ocean, which is the Tarinian Deep; It's said that the tarinian deep is so deep, that we have yet to still reach the bottom. The reason for that is because there is no underwater craft that I able to withstand the pressure from that below, in addition, all the research under neath are robotics so that no loss of life is made.

This lesson continued on for another 50 minutes , once class has ended, everyone began to pack up and head to the next class. Though just when all my thing have been packed, the two females who looked at us at the beginning of the class , looked at us again and smiled before heading out. Llana saw them look at me and gave me a confused look, I shrugged her off and just went back to finishing her pack up. Once we left the classroom, my thoughts went to thinking how Joshua and Christian are doing in their classes.

~~~~Xavier's POV~~~~
Me and Christian just finished our first lesson of the day, we left the classroom and managed to meet up with Dmitri and Valkyrie outside the next class. We had a conversation outside for a bit before heading inside, though as while we were talking, the brush of a sunset orange was flowing in front of me. I looked a bit to my left and I see a girl with her friend, she then adjusted her look to me for a second and smiled then went back to her friend to talk, confusion was left in me trying to understand what that was.

I quickly let go of that thought and told the others to head in as class is almost starting, it seems like today's class is about Literature. We all entered our seats and awaited for the teacher, the teacher then arrived to introduce himself. Mr Floyd started to explain a writer who wrote during the Great War, the writer was named Leo Bernanzia, his writing was about how he joined the war and the horrors he experienced throughout it.

Though, about when we were finishing the extract, I looked outside and noticed the trees were slowly shifting to orange and leaves were falling. My immediate thought was, 'It seems like Autumn has arrived. It's as beautiful as ever'. My focus then drifted away from the outside and back to class, though my eyes did meet with the unknown red haired lady for a second and then went back to facing the teacher.

After another 45 minutes, class ended and I noticed the person I looked at was about to leave, though I couldn't help but be curious who she is. So I finished packing and tried to look for her, she was outside waiting for me with her friend, this gave me a chance to ask her something,

"Who are you?"

She smiled and uttered her name
