  Days after the hivelings' victory over the urokai race, Hybereus sat before an elderly female urokai who was accompanied by two male hivelings. The urokai wore a tattered cloak while her arms and legs were bound by glowing red shackles.

  "You requested an audience with me?"  Hybereus asked, "I find it strange that a prisoner would forget her place and make such a bold request. But regardless, for you to dare suggests it must be something of great importance."

  "Yes, it is." The old female urokai replied.

  "Question: if what you have to say is so important, why not take it to Lady Rora or the hiveling Council?" Hybereus asked.

  "Because what i have to say is for you and you alone." The old urokai answered.

  "You have five minutes." Hybereus said.

  "My ability is rather peculiar. I can see the deaths of the past and future and yours is glaring." The old urokai said, "Your hands are excessively stained. I can see the absurd number of souls you have unjustly slain; they all whisper one word..."

"Pestilence." The old female urokai said as her eyes glowed.

  Hearing this, Hybereus's eyes glowed in response.

  "I said before that my ability allows me to see past and future deaths." The old urokai continued, "But it also grants me knowledge of the individuals my visions reveal. I know who you are. What you were and what you will become.
  You have tried to change.... Become better and be a father, but your murderous past still calls you.
Fathers sins... a seed that bears bitter fruit, nourished by the tears of the children and the blood of the innocent."

   "Your time is almost over." Hybereus said.

   "Your future holds a bloodier path... Bloodier than your past." The old urokai said, "In your future, you will hold hands with evil once again and dance with devils... abominations. And in your dance, you will become a nightmare and dye the seas red with blood."

"Hmm. Interesting. If you could see this about me, then why didn't you see the future of your own race or yourself?" Hybereus asked.

  "I did but my people wouldn’t heed the words of a cursed urokai. I knew our end was coming when i heard about the child they killed, and i know how my story will end. But yours will soon begin, and it is close..." The old urokai replied.

  "Closer than you think." The old female urokai said with an evil smile as her eyes glowed.

  "Her time is up. Kindly escort the prisoner back to her cell." Hybereus said to the two hivelings.

  As he stood and turned his back to leave, the Urokai’s voice echoed behind him.

  "You can't run, Hybereus. You can't run from your past..."

  "And you certainly can't run from your future." The urokai said as her smile deepened while her eyes glowed again.

   Currently, a strong wind swept through several trees in the pocket realm and created a rift in the process which turned out to be Hybereus who was skidding backwards until he dropped on all fours to steady himself. As Hybereus raised his head, he sighted Xorian walking towards him.

  "Odd. With everything i did, to think he would still return from the dead and grow stronger is quite unexpected." Hybereus said within, "However as surprising as this is, i do not have time to engage him."

  Hybereus's eyes glowed as he stretched his arm forward but to his surprise, Xorian was still walking towards him.

  "Strange. It seems there is something blocking me from sending him away from this realm." Hybereus said in his mind.
