You belong to a temple of oracles in the mountains. You've been there since you were little when you were taken for your gift of sight. Most would think oracles could just see the future, which is far from the truth. Your ability allows you to view visions of the present. This comes quite in handy for royals and warriors who want to know what their enemies are up to. Some of the other oracles can see the past and the messages they hold. Others can see the future, but they all claim it's spotty at best.

The temple is beautiful, and it only keeps women. Most of your life you have never seen another man unless they are seeking your wisdom of the assistance of the temple. You much prefer this place than what lies outside. You prefer your sisters at the temple, and you've not tried to hide that. It is very common for the sisters to indulge in one another, in fact, there is a ritual to it. You've kissed before, but you've yet to take one of your sisters as your confidant. You've yet to meet one who captures you completely.

Well, there is one, but no one but the High Priestess is allowed to visit her. She is known as the Superior Clarity and was one of the most powerful oracles to have ever lived. She was kept locked away from sight, and only those who paid the top coin were allowed to hear from her. You had heard so many rumors about her beauty and power that all you wanted was her.

It is a privilege for the sisters to guard her room, so you've been working hard to earn favor with the High Priestess. Your plan is simple, gain guard duty for the Superior Clarity room and sneak inside once the High Priestess retires for the evening. With your present sight, you will know who is coming and who is around. Once you sneak into her room, you'll woo her as best you can. But gaining favor with the High Priestess was harder than you thought. You eventually get what you want though and are given the guard duty.

It seems like a cushy job. There is a room before the Superior Clarity's where the guard lives. It's a small room, but at least it is comfortable. Once the High Priestess leaves, she locks the Superior Clarity door and takes the key it with her. You hadn't expected that you have no idea how you're going to sneak in now.

That's when you notice something strange with the door. Where the lock should go into the doorframe, you see a sliver of light. Something is covering the deadbolt from locking completely. You test the door and see you can open it.

"I'm so glad it worked," her voice is husky and sweet.

You gaze into the room where glowing lights are hovering everywhere. Sheer curtains are hanging from the ceiling in a circle, surrounding the raised stage the Superior Clarity is on. You can see her silhouette blurred by the curtains.

"I was worried my little trick wouldn't work," she says again.

You glance down, seeing a playing card on the floor with a dent in the middle. You pick it up and hold it out. "Did you expect to meet me."

"I've wanted to meet you." Her voice is beautiful, you wonder what the rest of her is like. She then giggles softly, "She is gone right? You can see her?"

You close your eyes, checking the present. I then look back up at her. "She's in bed already."

"I'm glad," she murmurs.

You step closer and realize the floor is painfully cold.

"You don't have shoes, do you? Does it hurt?" She asks.

You walk quickly until I'm at the first stair of the platform. "I'm fine," you hiss. You toes ache like you have just walked through endless miles of snow.
