                                                                      Laura Buckley's Point Of View

" NOOOO!"

" What!?"

Agnus called out to me as I woke up from my nightmare. I was napping after my afternoon training.

" Laura! Are you okay!?"

Agnus rushed to my side; I was in my room in the home I purchased with my reward money from working as an Adventurer with my friends. Right, I scheduled a session with Agnus to try and control my Cleric ability better. I had the same dream that's been plaquing me since I got here. John, the purple horizon, the forest... There's been changes since then, light pink eyes watching him from a distance with great care in them. A yellow Umbrella over his head, a see-through silhouette of angel wings at his back, a black sword levitating around him like a bee around a flower that it's unsure if it wants to pollinate. A blonde-feathered owl on his shoulder, a shadow of fire to his side, a long white blade on a brown stick, I remember that John told me the name of the weapon once, it was what samurai would use besides a samurai sword... A Nagi... Naginata! That's what it was called. It jumps along behind him, like a pogo stick. There was a giant wolf with dark brown fur and red eyes with black slitted irises walking along with the rest of the artifacts. And finally next to him was a cow walking calmly by him, like a loyal dog. But the most concerning of all was what was above him in the forest. To his right, an army of golden statues. At the front of the army were 2 golden statues with angelic wings one shaped like a woman and one shaped like a one-eyed man. They both had their swords drawn and were aiming them at him as he walked, waiting for the moment to strike. Another statue stationed behind him glowed with a dark twisted energy with a wide evil smile. On the opposite side of him were a murder of crows with dragon wings looking for the proper moment to dive into the forest where he was. With that, the dream ends the same as it always does, with him stopping in place long enough for the crows and the statues to attack and they all brace themselves to dive in. That's where I wake up, right before I can scream to warn him. Agnus was still worried about me; I need to answer her.

" It's my dream."

" Is it-"

" It's not getting better... I feel like I see more statues and crows every day. Agnus... I need your help."

" The Gods are showing you a vision, Laura, I can't do anything about that."

" I know, Agnus, what I need is to be able to contact him, like you told me I could."

Agnus looked at me dispiritedly, that was because our results haven't been satisfactory so far.

" I know, I've been reading through text after text. I can't find anything new about how to make a Cleric talk to a loved one through their visions, especially with you, since I don't know of any Cleric who's had this much of an issue learning how to control their visions. I think the only way to do it is by Evolving your class at this point."

" But that book-"

" I know, I know... I've read it as well. But that book is over 500 years old, and the information was collected just as a basic rundown for beginning adventurers, I think the way to do it is to Evolve into a higher version of a Cleric if you can't do it yet after all of this trying, Evolution has to be the answer."

" But aren't you an Evolved Cleric already?"

" Yes and no, I am a Cleric, and I Evolved, but I Evolved my 2nd Job, which was Nun. I became what's called a Half-Saint Lord through the Nun Job tree which changed the way the Half-Saint Lord Job operates for me. It's more of a physical Job. But depending on the Job you manage to Evolve, the Half-Saint Lord could be more physical, more magical or more of a healing type Job. Because of that, I still received visions for a long time because I'm a Cleric, until they stopped when I married my Husband. But more importantly than that, I have learned that the visions only really affect those of 2 persuasions, the devoted and the pious."
