Chapter 66: We Need To Talk

Jack

How could Jack help Adeline's brother? The guy lost his girl and unborn child to a madwoman. Closing his eyes, he fought the images spiraling around his mind's eye and focused on Ty. One static picture from the past showed Ty when he was captured by Zarna.

Not helpful. Jack needed to go into the future. In another image, Ty slipped down the mountain and broke his leg.

In the distance, Adeline called Jack's name. Must concentrate. Sweat rolled down his back, and he itched everywhere.

A blurred image of Ty sitting at a bar. He passes a woman with a tattoo of a snake eating its tail on her wrist. Her aura pulses, but Ty, oblivious, leaves, and the vision fades.

That's it. She must be the woman who can take the Oracle's place. Jack forced his eyes open, fighting the feeling they were glued shut, and even the brightness of the temple made him squint.

"Jack. What happened?" Adeline's expression was full of concern as she frowned down at him.
