Visions: Warnings from the First

Zayde froze as what the stranger said went into his head and sent shivers into his spine. He glanced at Arya who looked confused, her brows were raised, forming a questioning gaze. 'W.. why isn't she moving?' he asked himself, tying to get her attention but he did not seem to hear him.

"What's going on?" He asked, earning a brief chuckle from the stranger.

"I have absolute control over time and I have a temporary ability to turn invisible," He answered and smirked, "Brace yourself for the impossible Zayde, This world is just an illusion of the real thing to come," The stranger added and instantly vanished, leaving behind feathers that he was quick enough to collect.

'Illusion my foot, That bastard would never scare me, I will rip out his throat.' he told himself and walked over to where Arya was. "You are incredibly useless, I hope you know that?"

Arya stared at him unfazed and crossed her arms, "You are just mean, You stood there staring at me like i looked like an Insane person, Why would you even be talking to yourself?" She asked, annoyance suddenly rising inside her. "Did you see who sent you the message?"

"Yes i did, Lets head back, I am getting dizzy," He actually was, the words of that stranger already had an effect on him. Especially the Statements about the world being an illusion, it made him laugh as he walked back to the motorcycle.

Arya sat beside him and circled her arms around his waist. He heaved a sigh and started the engines, taking one last look at the store before driving off.

Ravena sat at the center of the room, around her was a white energy, and one candle in each if her hands. Zayde staggered in, his skin had gone pale over a short period, Arya trailed behind him, making attempts to hold him but to no avail since he kept slapping her fingers away from.

Ravena peeked through her eye lids and slowly closed them back after seeing that nothing life threatening would make her pause her meditation session.

However Zayde suddenly slumped at the entrance of the kitchen dropping to the ground lifelessly after assuring Arya that he was fine and she would not need to call Ravena.

Ravena instantly left where she was and went on her knees, raising Zayde's head to her chest, she hid her worry, afraid it would give Arya way of getting to her.

"What happened to him?" She asked, gently tapping Zayde's cheeks.

"I don't know, He was extremely angry about what someone had said. I tried to help him by getting him food on our way here but he refused to stay and eat it, saying he was fine." Arya explained briefly leaving out the fact she had tried to feed Zayde with her blood.

Ravena held onto Zayde and flicked her fingers, appearing in Zayde's bedroom, she quickly left his side and rushed to the door to close it, she tore her shirt open and raised his head to her neck.

"Master?" She called lowly, still tapping his cheeks gently. 'What do I do?' she asked herself, confused about how to feed him when he was close to dieing.

She then spotted a wine glass on the table beside the bed and a dagger placed on it. She smiled and grabbed them, made a cut along her wrist that burnt her terribly, but there was a reasonable amount of blood pouring into the glass.

Once the glass was half full, she wrapped a piece of cloth around her hand, that she tore from her shirt. She held the glass up to his lips, gradually pouring the content into his mouth till it was empty.

After checking to be sure he was fine, she turned on the AC and exited his room, hurrying to get food for his physical body.

Meanwhile, As Zayde lost consciousness, he found himself in a very familiar room, beside a dark haired girl that gazed down at him with a smile.

He frowned a bit, racking his brain for who it was then his eyes widened, 'Leah.' he stretched out his hands to hold her but drifted through her like air.

However, another hand stretched out to her squeezing her cheeks. He sprang out of the bed and saw himself–the lanky teenager that killed and stole for a living.

It was then something hit him, Leah looked almost like Ravena, except Ravena had red eyes while she had hazel eyes that were already loosing their colours from what she was going through.

Ravena was more adorable especially when she cried, while Leah was just normal, she was cute but could not be compared to a blood eyed succubus.

He was staring at his past, the life he had always wanted to forget, especially one where the one he loved would suffer and then the scene changed to when Leah was laying barely alive on the bed with a gun in her hands, stretched out to him.

"Kill me," She whispered, watching how his expression changed from worry to shock immediately. "Do it for me, please."

Zayde scoffed and turned away, refusing to watch the scene, the scene where he hesitated and felt bad afterwards for killing.

"I would never kill Rave, but if there was need for it, I will never show remorse," He said to himself and turned around to leave.

The second he opened the door of his apartment, he found himself standing before a Man and his wife, both going through a bag that he could recognize from anywhere.

The bag he got Leah as a birthday gift, Unfortunately the two bodies dropped dead after the sound of a gun went off, he frowned and turned around to see himself, standing with a silencer aimed at the couple.

"Don't mess with my property next time, " He heard himself say, then leave with the bag and all that was in it.

He chuckled and smiled proudly, "I love me, Can't wait to meet another that would make me feel this."

"What about Rave? She is someone that you would even sacrifice more for," A voice came up behind him, he turned around as quick as he could, only to see two men, one looked older, especially with the grey hair peeking from within the black.

That other had half of his body frozen, "It's you, Me, well you understand. What are you both doing there?"

"Initially wanted to tell you about the half human girl you are currently living with but Lord Shadow realized something," The previous Zayde spoke, urging the older one to speak.

"This is all an Illusion Zayde, This is just a glimpse of the past and what you should do once you look past the illusions," Lord Shadow spoke, holding out a compass to Zayde.

"Leave Khthonic Spire and search the city after that for Ravena's father and kill Arya if you remain here, she lives and you loose before you even get to fight."

"Time Travel?" Zayde asked, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"No, Just kill Arya after meeting Ravena's father, tell him Vendetta sent you, he understands, also stop resisting her charms. You will get addicted afterwards, so why not start now?" The previous Zayde said, earning a glare from Zayde. "What?"

"I saw what you did with her, You think I would be comfortable after seeing all those insane things you did with her?"

"You Kissed her a few days ago," He added, hoping it would make Zayde understand, but he just scoffed and adverted his gaze

"Oblivon kept giving me Vampire related tasks, I feel nothing for her," Zayde replied crossing his arms to his chest.

"He is worse than you are, stubborn and so insensitive," Lord Shadow said to the previous Zayde who chuckled and smiled at Zayde.

"At least the enemy did not rail me," Zayde fired at the second, before he would speak.

The second frowned deeply and replied, "You might not get railed but your sanity will fall apart, trust me."

"You both are the same person and are old enough to act matured but you don't." Lord Shadow sighed and patted Zayde's head. "Stay safe, We will see you during the era of your downfall."
