"When will it be time?", a voice whispered, "I'm getting impatient."

"Is it time now?", another asked.

The voices echoed from the pitch black darkness that surrounded the silhouette of a dark slim figure that stood there listening.

"She's coming..."

"I heard there's a child of a demon lingering, living in this realm.", a third butted in.

The first sighed, "What does that have to do with anything?? I want to know if it's time yet..."

"Magic is erased.", another said.

"So?"

"Are you an idiot? With magic gone that might-!", the third voice raised its tone before it was cut short.

A fifth voice laughed, it's cry chilling to the other's ears, "What a joke! What were they thinking doing something like that?"

"I mean, did they really think that through? No one is that stupid.", the fourth retorted.

"Who knows... they're only human after all-.", the second voice sneered.

"ENOUGH!!", the figure's voice suddenly commanded over the slithering voices, his own slicing through the solid darkness that enveloped him.

Silence filled the room immediately, the voices obeying him without hesitation.

The shadow of the man rose his hand, the faint outline barely decipherable against the black as light suddenly filled the dark void, a circle of images shimmering before him.

"What has been done is past and we must deal with it till I deem it so... you know I don't get involved with the affairs of others.", the man said as he flicked his wrist to the left, the images going backwards.

The pictures moved faster and faster until they stopped, the image frozen showing a young woman with bright blue hair and eyes extending her hand out at a slim teenager boy.

"You might not... but we could!", the first voice said as its smile was revealed by the light.

It was dark and sinewy, it's teeth sharp and jagged like a sharks.

The shadow's humanoid face features were all wrong as it's empty eyes gleamed with moisture.

The figure continued staring at the images, "That isn't necessary.", he said as the voice frowned, "Leave it be."

"The meeting... where it alllll began.", the third voice cackled, it's shadowy fingers brushing the edge of the circle that broadcast the images.

"Be silent.", the man commanded glancing at the third shadow as the voice backed away and melted into the endless darkness, "I told you all to be quiet."

The voices grumbled under their breath but didn't say anything else as they watched the man curiously.

The figure shifted as he stared at the scene that played as he sped through the adventures of the bearers of the moonstone.

He then paused the images again, stopping at the scene of the defeat of Zhan Tiri, his mouth open wide in anger and shock as the teenager boy seemed to be chanting something.

The man jerked his forefinger and middle finger up before turning and grasping the air, as if pulling something out of a drawer.

"Varian...", the figure murmured quietly as he gazed at the shimmering picture.

The voices started whispering unintelligibly as they heard the quiet word until it started to build up to a riot of gossip and news.

Taking a deep breath, the man waved his hand through the image, making it dissipate and dissolving the world back into darkness.

As he did a faint emerald green spark of light shone from his eyes, before the darkness swallowed it whole too; leaving only the whispers of secrets and shadows behind.
