~Clearsight
She didn't think that Darkstalker would actually leave when she told him to. He was right though; Clearsight had been hiding something from him. But he couldn't know. Things just got worse. She knew she should be glad that he couldn't read minds from such a distance or in dreams, but she just felt guilty for lying to him.
There might not be a future where Darkstalker isn't king of the NightWings and he killed thousands of dragons to get there, but there were futures were he allowed Fathom to live with him, Indigo too. Futures where he regretted his decisions.
It was disturbing to see futures where Clearsight wasn't there. She was glad to see Darkstalker, Fathom, and Indigo, but Clearsight wasn't there. She could even see Whiteout and Listener, chatting casually to Darkstalker in one of the brighter futures. Clearsight knew she shouldn't worry about it, but she knew exactly why she wasn't in her futures. Soon after Fathom comes back, in another two weeks, Vigilance would release Clearsight. For some reason, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out what happened after that that caused her to disappear from all of her visions, but she knew what came after her being released. She didn't dare think of it.
Clearsight sat in the same room she had been in for the past few days. She had been up for a while. The mind reader must've left to sleep, because she was alone in the room. Clearsight looked out the window. It was about two hours before sundown.
She turned as the sound of talons clicking on the floor. As Vigilance came into view, Clearsight bowed.
"Your Majesty," Clearsight said. "I'm sorry, I overslept. I can work later into the day if you wish."
"Stop being so cheerful," Vigilance snapped. "Your trapped, not vacationing." She walked closer and started circling Clearsight. "How far have to gone on the scrolls?"
"I've gone as far as I could on the first scroll you gave me." Clearsight reported. "And I've almost completed the other two."
Vigilance grabbed the first scroll, and read through it. "This only goes one hundred years into the future. When I said every possible outcome, I meant for the rest of eternity!" She said.
"I can only see that far!" Clearsight replied. "After that, I can't see anything."
"So the world is destroyed?" Vigilance asked.
"No. It means that, simply, my foresight can't go that far."
"You're the most talented and powerful seer in the entire history of our tribe! You must be lying, with foresight like yours. Unfortunately, you scared away the mind reader."
"I wrote that in the scroll! 'Every attempt is cancelled.'"
"Maybe you should've wrote it so then I didn't need you so read it over!"
"I thought you liked cryptic prophesies!"
"Shut up. I'm done here."
Vigilance stopped walking, standing in front of Clearsight. "You're lucky. I'll take this scroll, and you work on the other two. If you get done, I might send you back." She said. She slashed at Clearsight's shoulder, causing pain and blood to flourish. Clearsight winced. "That's for being alive and a nuisance." Vigilance snarled.
The queen left, and Clearsight looked down at her wound. It wasn't deep. It wouldn't take long to heal, thankfully. She looked around, and noticed a small pile of fabric in the corner. Carefully, as to not tear the scrolls or cause more pain, she walked over, and picked up the piece on top. It was a simple brown color, most likely used by the mind reader as a pillow. Clearsight tore it into strips big enough to wrap around her shoulder and cover the hole wound, then tried her best to cover it. When she first put the fabric on the wound, it hurt slightly more, but it soon died down.
She carefully made her way back to the scrolls. A brief vision flashed—Darkstalker would visit her again tonight while she was sleeping. He'll notice the makeshift-bandage. Thankfully, though, if she said the right things, he would continue to not murder the queen (and proceed to kill all of her family as well). She could still make sure that there's a better future, for everyone.
Well, for everyone but the queen, her family, and Clearsight.
