"For some reason, I felt compelled to gaze into the crystal to see if I could discover anything from it."
"The crystal Kewero gave you?"
Flindra nodded and had a distant look in her eyes. "When I gaze into the crystal I see things. My mind is pulled into a realm of colored lights and visions of people and places. I see things that I should have no way of knowing. The first time I looked into the crystal I discovered that I need to search for Kewero somewhere in the Northern Reaches."
"That seems harmless enough."
She shook her head. "That's only the beginning. I also see people and places and I feel in my heart that I’m seeing glimpses of my future. It changes sometimes; my fate must not be completely foretold, but it seems that I'm the focus of a terrible conflict somewhere in our future." She swallowed hard. "There is evil, a terrible, monstrous evil aiming to destroy us all. I know, somehow, I'm going to be involved fighting this evil and that's why it's looking for me."
"Looking for you?"
"It's like a terrible hunter seeking out my presence. It hasn't found me yet, but it's searching for me."
"Are you certain?" A look of doubt crossed his features. "Do you truly believe what you see in this crystal?"
Flindra took note of the look. "I do believe it, Leudh. I've asked the Spirit to be with me and to guide me and I really believe this is the truth." She swallowed hard. "My awareness of the monstrous evil was even more acute in the crystal's vision than in my dreams." Flindra shuddered and closed her eyes.
Leudh slipped his arm around her shoulders to give her support. "Is there more?"
