Chapter Three: The Vision of the Future
Daniel had risen from the knelling position, as Vividus beckoned him to follow. He walked in front of the door, waving his hand in one slow motion as it opened. Vividus then walked down the hallway, while Daniel followed him. He walked down the hallway and then to the left, stopping at a door.
"This will be your room. I will inform the other Sith that you are not to be played with. Good night." He said, in his eerie voice as he walked off. Daniel was spooked a little bit, but opened his door and walked in.
The room was medium size, fifteen by fifteen, but was plain. Nothing on the walls suggested individuality, but two things did. One was a black robe that was hanging on the wall, on a coat hanger. The second was a workbench, with the small white cylinder object that protruded the light that Daniel first saw when he gated here.
He figured it would be best if he dressed in the black robe. So, he undressed himself and helped himself into the robe. It fitted snuggly, and felt quite comfortable. He was able to move around in it very easily and barely held any constriction. It was like his skin, but different. He was beginning to enjoy his life right now.
He then walked over to the work bench as he picked up the cylinder. It looked quite different from the others' cylinders, he thought, so I better be careful. He took a block of some plastic he saw in the workbench, and activated the cylinder. The light, which was a hue of purple that was different that the other Sith's red, cut right through the plastic very easily, and left no smoke or melting plastic. He was surprised, as he deactivated it.
"Wow..." Daniel spoke, before a long and drawn out yawn soon took over. He was tired, and decided it was a good time to get a night's worth of sleep. He looked at the cot near the other side of the room, as he sat down on it. It was firm, just what Daniel liked. He sighed, as he lay down.
He closed his eyes, and fell asleep...
Daniel stood over the body of Sam, his red lightsaber drawn in a huge, golden entrance room with Nature's beauty casting from the outside, hanging from the windows as Daniel took a few steps forward, drawing into a defensive position, locking eyes with a man in front of him. Daniel's skin was grey, like Vividus, except his eyes. Unlike his master's green eyes, Daniel had bright red, and struck fear from normal people. The man in front of him, however, was not.
The man had blonde hair, wearing a black jumpsuit of some kind, who yields a green lightsaber. He spoke with a soft tone, towards Daniel.
"Lacius, we can avoid this! We can end this without anymore innocents dying!"
"And let me turn and follow a Code that restricts me from using my full potential? Absolutely not! I had to kill this former friend of mine because you corrupted her! You probably made Teal'c killed Sha're! No matter, we shall end this, once and for all. And then, a wave of power will transpire on the Republic Council, and I will lead it from its useless stature to a beckoning empire of glory!" Daniel retorted, although he did not sound like him at all.
Behind the blonde man, a door opened wide, revealing a man dressed in uniform, which was yielding a blue lightsaber. The man had salt and pepper hair, and looked a little old. He had a face of anger, though, and to this face, Daniel grimaced. He knew who it was.
"Daniel, come home! You don't have to do this!" Jack yelled, pointing at Daniel with his cold eyes. There were never like that, but he seemed to forget Daniel entirely as a friend, when he noticed Carter's body on the floor, a lightsaber wound to the chest.
"No! If you do not wish to bow down, then I will have to kill you. Both of you." He yelled, as he made a leap not possible without the Force, and began open combat with the blonde haired man...
Daniel jerked himself up from the bed, panting heavily as he did. He looked over his body, it was just find. But he saw himself; with that lightsaber and Carter...He shook his head. "It's just a dream..." He said to himself, as he looked over. His skin was alright, that he made sure of, but he looked at the mirror in front of the bed. He saw the redness, but instead of fear, he felt power.
He had a thought, and decided to try something. With his hand stretched out, he looked at the lightsaber on the workbench, and thinking, he tried to pull the lightsaber back with just his mind.
He watched with awe as he saw the lightsaber gently lift into the air and glide to his hand. He gasped, realizing he had power. He didn't know how he got this power, but he felt good when he used it.
"Excellent, Lacius, you have a power I do not have." He heard from the door, to which he snapped his head. He saw Vividus, to which he looked back at his head.
"You mean you can't move objects from..."
"Oh, that. Yeah, that's basic Force movements, Lacius. I meant the dream you had. It looks like you saw into the future, willingly or not." He said, sitting on the bed next to Daniel.
"You mean, I saw the future?" He asked Vividus, his questioning red eyes looked into Vividus' green hues.
"No, you only saw a possible outcome. It is impossible to view the future, Lacius. Come, you got training to do. And, unlike my brothers in arms, I will not beat you like my master did. Instead, if you fail, you will die. Understand?"
Daniel, under normal circumstances, would of retorted. But, with this power, he wanted it to grow, and by any means. He nodded yes, and then looked at the mirror,
And saw hues of red.
