Skye came rushing through his door as he dashed towards his computer.
"I have got to do this or I'll be late!"
Quickly imputing his password, he began searching the internet and found out what he had been looking for.
"Yes! I knew the information I wanted would be here! Where is my pen...got it. Now for the paper, and the info."
He quickly wrote down the piece of the information and just as quickly shut off his computer and left the house. He walked down a few blocks from his house and in a dark alley, gave the paper to an unknown arm that silently disappeared into the darkness. He then walked casually to the nearby café and ordered a cup of coffee and some cake before leaving the place to head back home. Immediately he entered, he was surprised to see me waiting for him, having have settled myself on the settee that was in the living room.
"Things have changed quite drastically since my absence. Everything in here is too advanced for me."
"Well, time has moved on and is still moving on, even as we speak. It waits for no one at all. Anyway, you got the message?"
"Yes. What was so urgent?"
"I found out what you were looking for, about your past and what had happened before you were killed. Come and see for yourself."
He turned on his computer again as he was enjoying his small snack. He only paused when he came to the article he was looking for, and then he showed it to me.
"You know I cannot read what you are showing me, Skye, or you forgot?"
"Oh, yes...sorry, I forgot. What it says is that when you were born, your father, the captain of the guard, was overcome by a vision about what you would grow up to be and who you were. It is said that he saw that you would undergo such terrors and hardship throughout your life, and your only salvation was to give you up. It is also said that he had seen that you would be persecuted and killed, for your enemies as he put it, were 'numerous'. Do you remember something like that?"
"Well, my mother never told me of anything like that ever happening, and my father never told me anything! I only remember that he was always sacrificing an animal each time he called me to the house altar. When I would ask him what he was doing, he only told me that he was just asking for protection from the gods. That's all."
"Well, I'm guessing that it never occurred to you that your father was only doing that for your own good and for your safety. Do you remember anything else?"
"I was about fourteen moons old when my father sent me away to the army as was the requirement by the king and by law. That is all. The next thing I knew, well other than the training, was that I was dead. Is it any helpful to you?"
"Well, you aren't really helping me at all, but anyway. Your parents, as I can see, were visited by a priest who warned them about what you were to encounter and face. Apparently, a prophesy was proclaimed about you, but it seems to have been lost throughout the years! Did you have any known knowledge about it?"
