A Boundless Shadow

Past or Present

~~~~Xavier's POV~~~~

She responded, "My name is Eleanor. It's nice to fully meet you, Xavier"

I questioned her response with, "You know of me?"

She started giggling and phasing around me while looking at me. She was smiling while doing so, it was like she was conducting an experiment on me, to truly see what I am. Once she finished phasing around she uttered,

"Of course, I know you, I'm surprised that no one else at school doesn't know who you and your family are. Xavier, King of the Solarian Empire, second eldest in the family".

My confusion turned into Interest as she could immediately deduct that investigation and see who I was. I smiled and replied back,

"I'm surprised, you managed to successfully guess who I am pretty quickly. So let me ask this Eleanor, who are you? And why are you investigating me?"

She smiled and then proceeded to phase right in front of me, to which she was just a couple of inches away from me and still smiling. She retorted with,

"It's because there's something going on between us, you feel it too right? Every time we look at each other, it's like we've been through this before. I don't know how to fully explain this but I guess it's like meant to be for us to meet"

It's official, this lady has completely lost me; right then and there. My confusion was plastered on my face for her to see, to which she gave a little sigh and gave a hand out. I tilt my head to show even more confusion as to what she wanted. Surprisingly, she took my hand and motioned it for us to have our hands touching like a mirror reflection. After a few seconds of that motion, a light starts emitting and dissipating from our hands; this causes a concern to me as a blueish orange light is emitting and dissipating from our hands. Though when looking at Eleanor, she's smiling and looking at me while it glows.

After a while, the energy omitting from our hands suddenly transfer around our body and shoot up into our brains. This causes a large amount of pain to me and Eleanor to the point of almost letting go of one another but we continued until something else happens. After a second, our eyes glow from green with mine and orange with hers. The world develops around us in a swift move, after it finishes developing, we both let go and I walk around this pseudo-environment. I hold out my hand while walking around, every sense in my body tells me it's real but my mind stays firm that it's all fake.

After roaming around the place, two figures appeared, one dawned in armour with green streaks in certain places that glow. The other one is a lady dawned in an assassin attire with dark orange colour in various places. To which, it looks like they're at odd's ends with one another; each figure had their blades drawn to each other's neck. As I attempted to walk closer towards them, Eleanor quickly grabbed my arm and pulled me back to the original spot, she then told me to get down and we hid into the bushes.

After a minute of the tension between them, the armoured soldier kicked the assassin to create a distance between them. Then in an instant, the both dashed to one another and the clashing of their sword sent sparks around us; the reverb from the clashes causes ripples in the nearby waters but this mesmerised me with the precise of their attacks. Each coordinated strike to one another was easily countered by the other, it seems the battle has no victor at this rate. As time went on, they both started to slow down their attacks it seems like they noticed they can't get to the other person at this rate. This went on for a few more minutes until they're just standing there, with their swords drawn but pointing to the ground.

Surprisingly, the one with armour sheathed his sword and stood there, while the female also sheathed her sword. After a minute, the soldier removed his helmet and there was a person with almost an identical face to me; it was like looking into a mirror. He rested the helmet on his side and looked like he was about to speak, there he said,
