The Primordials: Death's Fury (Book One)
Chapter XIV: Cintracies (Pt.2)

Yes! This power was definitely a gift! It should help us figure out what Avarice is up to, come up with a plan to defeat him if it comes to that, and help prevent many tragedies from happening.

So, I’ll be all-knowing after I learn how to control it.

I couldn’t wait to start learning how to use this power.

Viraa laughed.

Temporal Sight does not work that way. Even with hyperthymia, I was only considered semi-omniscient. The cintracy is not exact. It shows glimpses of what will happen, not the path of events that led to that outcome.

That’s a bummer. I don’t know why I figured it’d be like watching a movie of the future.

How do I use it? I asked.

For now, it appears to involuntarily activate while you sleep, so that may be key, Viraa answered.

If it’s active while I’m asleep, how will I know the difference between a dream and a vision?

I could see that being very confusing. And what if I forget the vision like I sometimes forget dreams?

I do not have that answer. Your intuition, perhaps? However, it will only activate at your command once you learn to use it properly.

While looking out the window, I focused on the reflection of my mom and dad still overwhelming Tymon with paperwork and information. The nightmare where they died flashed across my mind.

Viraa?

Yes?

I’ve been having this dream where my parents are killed for a while now. Do you think that was just a dream...or was it a vision? I asked. Although internal, I could still hear the uncertainty creep into my voice.

I do not know, Viraa replied. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

If it is a vision, then things will get bad in the future. We need to warn them and make sure we prevent it from happening. I said urgently.

There was no way I was going to let anything happen to them.

First, you are not sure it was a vision yet. It could just as well be a reoccurring nightmare, Viraa inputted.

And if it isn’t, I said snidely.

Viraa let out a heavy sigh.

Lisa, you will undoubtedly witness many horrible moments of the future, but you must learn to keep your emotions in check. Until you master that power, you will not know how far into the future most of your visions will be, so there is no point trying to interfere, Viraa explained.

Wait. So, if I see something horrible, you expect me just to let it happen?

No decent person could do that. I hope she didn’t seriously expect me to.

As I have stated, even when you master the cintracy, you will not know what events lead to the future you see. So, the actions you take trying to prevent an outcome from happening may very well be what causes it. First, access all you can about the outcome before acting. Then look further to observe the future consequences of the outcome, she advised.

I didn’t say anything. I disagreed with not doing anything, but learning more about the dream was worth looking into. But first, I needed to learn how to control this power.

Lisa. You have inherited an extremely dangerous power. In the wrong hands or if used irresponsibly, it could change the course of history. For this reason, I do not want others to know about it. It is also why I have ensured my presence. So, for your safety, try to refrain from sharing this with any of the others.

So, the lying’s already starting, I said with a snarky attitude.

I was averse to lying to Trik, Tymon, or the others when I meet them. How could I expect them to follow me when I’m lying to them from the moment we meet?

I moved away from the window. I needed to get my mind off anything concerning the future or Viraa’s cintracy.

One more thing, Viraa added.

What is it? I replied dryly.

Using my connection with each Primordial and Temporal Sight should help you find the others. The dream of the boy in a barren environment signified Tymon’s young and inexperienced state, as well as the withered forest he made his safe spot. Other dreams may give you hints about them or where to find them.

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind next time I have a weird dream, I said back.

Viraa remained silent for a second.

Lisa, I am not here to pain you. Nor am I here to control your life. I am here to help you. Understand that I have been alive for a very long time and have foreseen a lot. You may not understand my methods right now, and that is fine, but please never assume the worst of me. Due to our connection, you will always feel my intentions. They are pure, Viraa said sympathetically.

My shoulders slumped as I gave in and let go of my stubbornness.

Yeah, I know. It makes trying to find a reason not to trust what you say very difficult, I said jokingly.

I noticed I was now in front of the stand that holds files of all the old digital records. As I scrolled through, I saw that each file was three centuries apart, so other than general information, they were useless.

I clicked on the most recent file from the years 2925-3025.

Trik floated next to me.

“What’re you reading,” he asked.

“Nothing. Just some old files I came across,” I responded.

While I was scrolling, I came across a list of names.

▪ Michael Viel

▪ Arne Gaurav

▪ Tymon Kage

Wait a minute...

I clicked on the file’s description. As I thought this was a file of the Primordials’ actual names. They would sometimes be given different names as a child but would only feel comfortable with their real names after discovering who they were.

Going back to the list, I continued to read the names.

▪ Naomi Caia

▪ Damien Libi

Za’Fia Akrosa...

My jaw dropped. I looked at Trik.

I saw pure terror in his eyes.

“Don’t mention it to Tymon, or she’ll get angry. For both our sake, just pretend you don’t know,” he whispered.

With that, he floated out of the office. I don’t know what that was about, but if Za’Fia was a Primordial, she’d been pretending to be human all this time.

I looked over at Tymon.

After thinking about it, I decided it wasn’t my place to interfere, so I wasn’t going to inform Tymon, but if Za’Fia’s a Primordial, then the next time we meet, I was going to have to confront her about it.
