LXVII

Chapter 67

"...Era of Calamity." I mutter aloud while gears still spin in my head.

"I know. Very ominous sounding, right?" My unwelcome visitor chimes in with a light chuckle. "At least it isn't as bad as its supposed possible synonym..."

I look up from the ground just before she finishes her statement: "The Last Era." She says with a click of her tongue and shakes her head afterwards.

"Last Era?" I ask. "Like, the end of the continent? That's a bit-"

"Absurd?" Her ever present smile doesn't waver in the slightest despite the subject we are on. "Don't take the prophecies of the holders of the [Seer] skill so lightly. They have been proven to come to pass more than nine out of ten times."

"[Seer] skill?" I ask.

"Ah! That's right." Her smile temporarily deepens. "I heard skills didn't exist in your time. Is that true?"

Hearing someone else use the words 'your time' makes me feel uncomfortable for some reason and hence there is a brief moment of silence from me.
