Prologue: A World Between
-- --
Many people speak of other universes, parallel worlds to our own, but there are those who do not believe...They feel that everything can be explained in a logical way, and that there is no such thing as "magic." This is where many people are wrong, though...So many things cannot be explained - miracles, for example...
This is normally where I come in. My name is Karen, and I am a psychic - I can find the barriers between our world and the realms so close to our own, yet different at the same time. People ask me to contact their deceased loved ones, find out what is causing supernatural phenomena around their homes, and sometimes tell their future. Yet, as always, there are those who think I am wrong, that I cannot see these things...I will show them, using one, young man - a Sky Knight, to be exact...He will be the one that will become the example for everyone else...

Aerrow rolled his eyes in boredom - Piper had her friend Karen on the Condor, and she could apparently see the future. Karen said she was a psychic, and all of the others (Radarr included) believed her...but not Aerrow. He knew there wasn't any "spirits" or "alternate realms" out there, and why his squadron believed her was beyond him; it was just some bogus stuff that had no real truth in it.
"Interesting...The Six of Wands..." Karen said as she flipped over a Tarot card, reading Finn's future. "It is in the Dignified position, which means triumph, victory, success." she continued, a demure smile on her face; Finn looked totally happy as she finished his fortune. "Aerrow? Would you like me to tell your future?"
"No thanks." Aerrow said rather crossly, still leaning against the wall away from the group. Everybody turned to look at him.
"Aerrow, you sure? It might be pretty interesting." Piper stated, everybody else nodding. Aerrow's glare silenced anything else that was to be said.
"I said no, Piper. And besides, how can you really believe what she says?" the red-head asked quite coldly.
"Pardon?" Karen questioned, shuffling her deck of Tarot cards.
"You heard me - there's no guarantee that what you say is what will really happen. You might say I'll win against Dark Ace in three days, when in reality it'll take three years to do so. You could say everybody is going to die from a horrible crash, but everybody would instead live despite your predictions." Aerrow snapped, green eyes flashing in anger as he stared at Karen.
"I can speak to the spirits, Aerrow - my predictions alway come true." the psychic said calmly, her face showing no signs of anger or fear.
"Spirits, huh? And tell me - who's to say these "spirits" are just something you came up with?" the Sky Knight asked.
"You do not believe, Aerrow, and that shall be your downfall someday." Karen stated calmly as she rose from her seat, walking over to Aerrow.
"Why are you..." Aerrow was cut off by Karen's next words.
"By tomorrow morning, your mind shall cease to exist - your body will remain in the Land of the Living, while you travel to the realm between. That is your fate, and so it shall be, for the spirits have declared it set in stone." Karen said, her voice taking on a more chilling tone - everybody in the room felt a chill go down their spine...
