  I sigh, absorbing the magnitude of what this means. The ability to foresee the future is both a gift and a curse. It means we have the responsibility to prevent the devastation I saw and to use this knowledge to protect those I love and the kingdoms that are under threat. The vision of Raven, transformed and powerful, still haunts my mind, and the idea that this possibility is not as distant as I would like scares me deeply.

  I have to tell Ethan and Zahir about what I saw, about the future that awaits us. They need to know so that we can prepare and find a way to prevent the disaster.
