I grew up in the city most my life, it was easy to maneuver once I got into college. I studied law but only started out as a paralegal. I had helped a friend study a case with a murderer and my friend got him put away for life. 

One night, before heading home to visit the family, my brother called telling me some weird man was following him. I told him not to think too much of it and that the guy might go a different direction. He eventually did and I got off the phone. When I got to the house, the whole thing was ablaze. 

I didn't know what to do since I had just spoken to my brother about an hour before. The firefighters spent hours putting out the fire and the police asked me a million questions to which I didn't know how to answer since I was in shock. 

I didn't even think to call my brother back until later, his phone went straight to voicemail. So did my parent's and sister's phones. My three younger siblings weren't old enough for phones yet so I couldn't try them. Maybe they got out and were hiding or were staying at a hotel. 

I got my friend to look into it for me and he couldn't find anything either. A couple of days later of investigating from the police they came to give me an update. They found the remains of my family in the charred remains of the house. 

I broke down, I couldn't believe my family was gone and now I had nobody. Everyone at work kept telling me they were sorry, it didn't help. I eventually stopped going because I couldn't handle to attention. Sitting in my misery week after week I came upon an ad in the newspaper that had "Madame Revina" on it that included her description. 

She was a gypsy that could read minds and help people through many things, including grief. I thought maybe this would be a good idea to get back to normal. A few days later I went to see her. 

She was interesting, dressed all the way up and she sounded spooky and comforting at the same time. I did get weird feelings off of her but was still willing to go through with it. We sat down and she asked me for something related to my family as a whole. I gave her a picture of all of us at my graduation, she kept it in front of her. A crystal ball was between us and when she placed her hands on it a red mist swirled inside it. 

Revina began asking me questions about my family and every few seconds would point something out to me. She began accusing my family of having secrets, this pissed me off. She then brought up my conversation with my brother right before the accident. Her words blaming me that I wrote his concerns off. 

Enraged at her I told her she was a fake and to fuck off, swatting at the crystal ball and grabbing the picture back from her. Taken aback she hesitated for a minute, then her brows furrowed and her eyes changed. Her voice deepened and boomed loudly at me, she said that she was not fake. Some cursing followed and now the word kind, real cursing. My head began to ache and my eyesight shifted, crossed for a minute but then as if I could see higher. 

In grabbing at my head I could now feel a third eye, it did all the normal things eyes do. Revina explained to me that for calling her a fake I was to be cursed. My new eye will give me the ability to know if she was telling the truth or not. I now knew she was for real and the eye was stuck. 

I was soon able to see visions of the future, fly, read people's minds, enter other minds, move objects with my mind, and differentiate between truth and lies. With my new abilities I was able to find the person responsible for killing my family and I brought them to justice. I got my hero name from the reason I am able to know everything, from Insight. 

Once that was done I had nothing keeping me here in this time so I entered a portal and went to the past to find my own start and then joined the Warrior Legion. I not only found my way but also a new family to call my own.
