I felt a wave of dizziness and nausea come over me. The spectrum of colors swirled around me. I saw flashing lights. I heard a sea of voices calling out for me, until slowly they faded to one voice. This voice... it sounded strangely familiar. It was happy and elf-like. It reminded me of those blue mushrooms I used to play with when I myself was young...
Slowly, I began to realize it was a human voice. I saw a girl's face in my vision for just a second. The wind carried secrets I did not know. Not for the first time, I wished my friend Saber was here by my side. I shook my head to free myself from those thoughts. She would be miserable here, I thought. She would feel so trapped.
I was shaken from my thoughts when something truly astonishing happened. The wind spoke to me.
'Time,' it whispered. 'Free. Girl. Savior. Apprentice. Mind-listener. Star-tracer. '
The wind made a hissing sound. Then it spoke again.
'She is your path to the light.'

After that I knew she was important to me. I knew that she would come to me someday.
And I was right.
