A/N: This is the beginning of the third and possible final installment of this epic journey. I am going to try and keep the action going on this one as best I can. I already have the first 3 chapter finished and will be posting them over the next week or so. This story has really been a blast for me and to any and all who've stuck it out and continued reading this, thanks so much and I truly hope you enjoy this next bit. I guarantee you'll have questions as the story progresses and I swear they will all be answered by the time the story ends...anyway, enough of my rambling. Onto your regularly scheduled programing...
His face haunts my dreams at night and yet I cannot say for certain who he is. My visions have rarely ever been this strong. It nearly drove me mad the last time the visions were this intense. I may be older now, but I'm not sure I can handle it any better this time than I did before. If only I knew who this mysterious stranger was. I feel drawn to him; as though he holds the key to some impenetrable lock that I've been struggling to open.
For weeks I've searched, making little progress. This quest seems almost impossible. I want to keep my promise, but I'm afraid that I'll fail. I'm afraid I'll let everyone down, especially Harry. There's already so many ways that I've failed him thus far, and I can't make it any worse. I have to find a way to make things right. I have to complete my task. If only I understood what it was they wanted me to do. Instead, I'm left with nightmares and visions of what the future could hold and all I want to do is scream.
Who am I that I've been asked to this? Why have I been given this 'gift' of foresight? Am I really capable of doing what must be done? I keep asking myself these questions and more, and I've yet to come up with answers to any of them. My visions make little to no sense most times, and it's quite possible I'm close to losing my mind. I've walked away from everything I know to keep a promise and I'm not even sure I can.
The only things I know for certain at this point are these…my name is Jack Corrigan…I am a Wizard and a Seer, and I have been sent to find the one person who can save my world and everything I hold dear from being destroyed. I have lied, cheated and stolen to get myself this far. I will not give up, but I fear that if I don't find the stranger from my dreams soon it will be too late and all that I have foreseen will come to pass.
Where are you? Who are you? Reveal yourself to me. I cannot allow the atrocities in my visions to occur. I must succeed. There's no other choice. My world…my life depends on it.
