Kira woke with a start her body breaking out into a cold sweat, the nightmares had grown more intense, and strange. She saw blood and carnage everywhere a civilization destroyed. Survivors scrambled amongst the wreckage, she could feel ash on her face, smell the burning flesh, and feel the pain. This battle had been personal to her but she had no idea how.

Looking over at her alarm she wasn't shocked when she saw it read ten a.m., this was her usual rising time on her days off. Sliding out of bed she was careful of her still wounded side but caught off guard by her door bell ringing, and with a rather stiff grab of her house coat she ran for the door.

"Just a sec!", undoing the locks she cracked the door to see Geff and Hava standing in the hall. "What?", she usually refused them entry until they let her know what their evil plans for the day, just one of her precautions so she wasn't dragged into anything ridiculous.

"Well we were heading for the markets and we were wondering if you would go with us, and you cant refuse. Vaux told us about what happened and wants us to cheer you up!", Hava offered a to-go cup of coffee to Kira and she quickly accepted it letting them into the apartment. Geff headed straight for her fridge as Hava kicked off her shoes and landed on the couch. They both watched Kira expectantly and it didn't take long for her to cave.

"OK give me five minutes you bunch of vultures", as Kira walked down the hall she could hear Hava giggle and Geff hush her. A day off alone was to much to ask for with her boss and friends, but she decided it couldn't hurt to go out. What's the worse that could happen?

Within a half hour the three of them were in the middle of Meckna one of the biggest market places on Helion Prime. The different smells and texture of air made Kira's senses go nuts as she looked over the many shops and set ups. When they came upon a backend collection of shops Hava let of a horrendously over excited squeal making both Kira and Geff wince.

"Oh my gosh a fortune teller! Come on Kira we have to have our fortunes read!", the look on her face was like that of a small child released into a candy shop with free roam of the place. Geff released a disgusted sigh as they approached the exquisite shop.

"They are all a bunch of hacks, con men", with a quick jab to his side Kira hushed him.

"Don't ruin her fun, she loves this kind of stuff", entering the shop they all looked around at the many potion bottles and diagrams.

The authentic look to the place had Kira's hair standing on end and something told her karma was about to deliver a nasty blow for her earlier thoughts on the day. Picking up a potion she looked it over a few times and then set it down before looking at Geff who was poking a few shrunken head with a rather amused look on his face.

"They look real…"

"That is because they are, my late husbands, wanted to keep them hanging around.", they all jumped as a voice from the back of the shop alerted them. Geff quickly withdrew his finger and wiped it on his shirt before making a grossed out face.

"Welcome to Madam ToTanya's house how may I be of service?", the woman was pale skinned with long black hair and eyes as red as scarlet. Kira felt slightly uncomfortable as she approached, the woman's skirts jingled as she moved and her vest had many symbols etched into the leather hide. She certainly dressed her part of an old earth street gypsy.

"My friend here is getting her fortune read for her birthday", Hava pushed Kira forward before she could protest this sudden mutiny her friends pulled on her. Madam ToTanya nodded and lead them to a back room were a round table sat covered with a velvet sheet, she motioned for them to sit. The black walls and neon string lights gave the room an air of mystery and cliché that made the three slightly unsettled. Before joining them at the table the woman detached a velvet bag from her hip and started to shake it while chanting low in another language. Dumping it on the table Kira watched as bones and dark shaded stones spread across the table.

"That's just unsanitary", Geff commented before ToTanya started to hum with her eyes open, her hands groping the air above the items. As they waited Kira shifted feeling as though the fortune teller was prying into her mind as she twisted and turned her hands over the items on the table.

"You were orphaned at birth, adopted by a human couple quickly after, your adopted father was a unjust man, cruel, so you ran away", Kira's mouth dropped open as the woman continued. "The Hunter-Grazer….the darkness…Riddick", her mumbling had Kira in utter shock, she had told no one of her life before New Mecca. "But your journey is far from over, the blood of your true parents is stirring to life within you my young Furyian. And the dark that you fear so much will be the thing that saves you, but when the light reveals what is hiding in plain sight do not be so quick to flee. The darkness is coming.", her eyes suddenly flashed a pure white before settling back to their natural scarlet.

Geff let off a stifled snort of laughter making Kira's thoughts clear immediately, her attention now back on reality. Turning her attention back on the fortune teller who was gathering her tools of telling, the woman looked up at her with a warm smile. As Hava reached across to pay the woman raised her hand and shook her head.

"It is not everyday that you are allowed entrance into the mind of such a rare breeder, happy birthday Jack", ToTanya raised from the table and pointed to the door before vanishing into the darkness of the reading room. Geff started to laugh but was silenced by a punch to the shoulder, curtsey of Hava who happened to notice that Kira was not laughing.

"Come on Kira lets head home, for some reason I think the fun just ended.", the street lights came on for the early afternoon as the three stepped out onto the street. With a numb nod Kira agreed and they started across town each of them unsure how to strike up a more comfortable conversation to ease the mood.

When they reached Kira's apartment building the mood was slightly calmer and she quickly invited her two companions inside, Geff gladly excepted Hava following suite but still asking if Kira was alright. She argued that the fortune tellers words had not ruined her day completely so Hava would relax and join them for some coffee and laughs. When Kira unlocked the door and opened it she was met with a smell of grease and dark spices that made her head reel. Quickly settling her self she turned on the lights and checked all of her rooms, the smell was strongest in her room but before she could commit to a full search Geff had forced her to join them. Hava had made coffee and was making three cups as Kira sat down at the counter in the center of her kitchen. She felt on edge like something was out of place in her home, and that smell she could not recall were she had first smelled it but it was familiar to her.

"Ok talk. What was that freaky witch lady talking about? What's the Hunter-Grazer? And did she say your last name too?", the onslaught of questions that poured out of Geff's mouth made Kira's head start to pound as she tried to form an explanation. Taking in a deep breath she tried desperately to find a point of which to start, settling on the beginning she nodded to her self, it was time to cut open an old jagged wound, so it could heal.

DUN DUN DUN!
