Some things seem so simple. I was leisurely floating above an alleyway in the capital city of Easlum, which just so happens to be named Easlum City.
In any event, moving right along, what's so weird, this vision is perfectly clear, no misty landscapes or distorted objects. Everything was set in crystal clear 20/20 human vision.
There were two people in this particular alley. One did in fact have his back turned towards me, but I could see his thick curly brown hair which peeked out from under his hood. The other person was facing directly at me. Sermoff! Internal warning bells where blaring inside me. How did they gain access into Easlum?
I know for a fact that everything is hexed, warded, signs, spells, enhancements, every blooming thing known to keep Easlum safe was in place and had been implemented! These two should not be in this alleyway. They should never have gained entry into Easlum!
Sermoff's voice caught my attention. "We should do it now. If we get any closer Joseph Klein will surely detect us if not actually see us."
"Wouldn't Draven be the first to detect us," the hooded figure asked.
"No," Sermoff responded to the hooded figure. "Joseph Klein is more cautious than his emperor. He probably doesn't want the senators stabbing to happen again. That's why we should just do it now."
"Fine, if you insist," said the hooded figure. He raised his arms and placed both of his pointer and middle fingers on Sermoff's temples. Sermoff gasped. His eyes glowed bright white. The light also came out of his nose, mouth, and ears. Then his whole-body glowed so bright that it lit up Easlum City. The light dimmed and disappeared. The hooded figure took his fingers off of Sermoff's temples.
Sermoff shook his head and said, "I'm sure no one saw that."
"Yeah, whatever, sure, if that what makes you happy," the hooded figure said. He turned around and looked at me. He stared directly into my eyes. He had my blue eyes, was somewhat handsome with a couple of pimples which was random and totally freaked me out.
"Who's that?" He asked with his right eye glowing white while the other eye was glowing black.
Sermoff looked up. "Oh, double damn, that's Draven. We have to do this now!"
I came out of my vision except everything wasn't the same. I was still standing there but everyone was looking at me like they knew I just experienced a vision.
"What happened?" Asked Lucifer.
I ignored him and asked, "How long was I out?"
"Two minutes," Cain responded.
"But still, what happened?" Achilles asked.
Then it hit me. In my future visions no time passes but what if I have a present vision —
"Easlum City is under attack!" I yelled. "Full scale lockdown!"
Lucifer looked confused, "Under attack by who?"
I looked directly in his red eyes, "Sermoff and the Nephbion."
