- Grandma, it's me!

- Jule? Ah, my sweet little girl. Come and kiss me.

- Hello Grandma. How are you?

- I am well. It's always good when my favorite little girl comes to see me.

- I'm an only child, you know.

- Do not forget your cousins.

- I do not count this branch of the family.

- Do not say that.

- They'll count when they'll come to see you.

- They are busy.

- For 20 years? Do not seek them an excuse.

- Let's change the subject. What do I owe the pleasure of your visit?

- Again and again convince you to move. This is not good for you to live in the sewers.

- Haaa ... You know that it is the only place where I can "see".

- Think of your health, will you.

- Jule, I am blind from birth. Life didn't gave me anything until now. I always had to live in the dark. But then, because of that, because I live here, I finally see colors, things, people. I put a true meaning to words that had hitherto no sense to me. With that, I finally tasted true freedom. I would not leave, Jule. I could not live without.

- I had to try, Grandma. Does Ed come often?

- Oh yes. Once a day. He's a good boy.

- I have a problem Grandma. Heaven and Hell were attacked simultaneously. And even more surprisingly, by far superior forces. Several angelic outposts and the fifth of the Accomodée were destroyed. And all I saw was an angel falling in the desert.

- Yes, I saw the angel too. And I also saw battles but I do not understand them.

- So? Who has a powerful enough military army to simultaneously attack the Paradise and Hell?

- And do not forget: to leave without a trace. But this is not the core of the problem, you see. I saw the two armies and each of them was different. But what troubled me the most was that the vision was both sharp and blurry. Angels and demons were fine but their opponents were blurry.

- What does it mean?

- I have no idea. But most disturbing is that feeling that I can't get rid of: These armies are strangely familiar.

- You have seen them?

- Maybe. Or I'd see.

- Sorry?

- It is a concept that I study. It's a bit of the opposite of "déjà vu". Thou shalt live it, it's on. And when you see, perceive, touch something in relation to this future event, this may allow you to quickly see it all without understanding the purpose. A bit like an equation that you do not understand yet but you will later. Few people can have this feeling and realizing what this is. They usually realize it when the event has already happened and they vaguely remember having already seen it. I call it, the "enfin vu".

- And you think that's what's keeping you from seeing the armies?

- I'm not sure yet.
