49 Clairvoyance

A woman with fiery scarlet red hair. Her waving up and down, due to the powerful blast of her surrounding aura. She was wearing a simple long black dress that resemble the japanese yukata. Both of her eyes glow, scarily and those gaze was enough to break your will to step forward and face her.

She had two swords on her hands, one for each. Upon seeing her closely, I could see a small mark on top of her forhead appeard. Three tear-dropped shaped like fan that glow in red, with three little azure spots on top of it.

She was otherworldly beautiful, yet her wrath made even my soul to tremble away. No one could stop her. Not even gods would stop her.. with just a flick of her hand, the soil rose up high to the sky, ruining the whole land easily. Screams and helpless cries can be heard all over the land.

Those who stood in front of her dropped their swords and begin to inch forward.

No. she didnt let them be. The land around them suddenly dropped, leaving a huge magna rising up, comepletely barring their escape.

"You killed my children and my beloved. For that, I'll destroy you and your whole generation with this land. No one will remember you or your descendants, for eternity. None shall be spared"

They begged and begged but it fall into deaf ears. Disgust and anger mixed , making it raining fireball from the sky, flooding lava and splitting ground everywhere. The whole nation was completely massacre until everything was silence..

The woman look up and took her sword.

"No more.. no more suffering.. no more reincarnation.. let me cease to exist" and just before she stabbed right through her own heart, she was frozen with ice. The woman was frozen like a statue, ethereal with completely... heart wrenching anguish was painted on her face.

I look up where, as I felt the deep penetrating and oppressive power. Hundreds of them floating above, dressed in bright light. It burns my eyes to see and one of them, look down and straight to my eyes.

"That is enough child. Not more than this." The being raised its hand and I suddenly fall into a never ending limbo.

I woke up in start. Looking around, I notice that I am currently sleeping inside a cave. Different than the last one we were in. I wiped my forehead, and my throat was parched.. I look around, as fear struck me hard. What does it mean...

A menu pop out.

'Reminder: You had just activated clairvoyance skill. You can only use it once per three months. Skill cooldown, 2 months and 30 days)

That made my heart beat even faster. I know what clairvoyance is. My mom had explained it to me before. Ability to see the future.. so does that mean It wasn't a dream? That it will happen in the future?

My throat constrict and its hard to breathe, for I know who is that.. though her eyes and hair might change... she is my one and only mother..

"Is something wrong, El?" Kuro, her father appeared in front of her, while pushing a cone shaped leaf that full with water.

"I sensed a fluctuation of mana earlier.. something happened?"

I look at him helplessly.. suddenly blanket with a biting chill of fear.

"I.. Dad.. I think I just had a vision.. I automatically activated clairvoyance skill"

My father simply listened to my story and sat beside me. My body was still trembling with fear. Kuro notice it and flicked his hand. Medium size of fire burn warmly, thawing off the chill, warming up my body slowly but surely.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"I dont know if I should... I feel like if I said it out loud, it'll come true.."

My father gaze the fire and started to tell a story to me.

"A long time ago, I have a friend.."

"A girl or a boy?"I cut. Kuro smile bitterly, not because his daughter cut him, he was already well aware of her habits these past few weeks. No, it was because he had to reopen a door to a room that he wish he would never need to open again. He feared what may lies within the darkness of the room, past that rots part of his heart and wish for eternal slumber.

"A woman"

"Oh." My voice dropped and then nodded. "Your ex girlfriend then" another trait that he was well accustomed to now.

"She is just like you. A healer and one with clairvoyance. A great combination that well-sought by any families and nation. Which is why most of them works with the priest and churches, in order to have a semblance of freedom and protection. She likes to keep everything bottled up within herself. She was afraid that telling it out loud might jinx it. And choose to keep it quiet. She was taught by the priests that she couldn't tempered with future but I strongly disagree with it"

"What happened next?"

Kuro had a far away look on him, I saw his pained expression and was going to tell him no need to continue it. I knew that expression well..

An expression that hide beneath my mother's smiling face, ever since I could remember. That made me to avoid talking about their biological father and had to reminds my sister over and over again to never mentioned about their father or their mother past.

"She saw that Something bad will happen to me. She kept it quiet, and only realised in the end, what soon followed could easily be avoided if she just told me about it"

"And then?"

My father look at me with another pain expression.

"She died"
