Chapter 5: Visions of the Future
"So … what'd Kane want with the Gem of Darkness anyway?" Blade asked
"The Gem of Darkness is an artifact of great power and has the ability to unlock great power within its wielder, even ascend them to their next evolutionary stage." Shadow explained
"So he wants to use its power to take over the world?" Blade asked.
"No … he wants to destroy this world and create a new one … a "Perfect" world if you will. He wants to create a world that is under his control from its beginning." Shadow said
"That's sick … and not in the good way" Blade responded. Shadow held the Gem of Darkness in his hands. It began to glow and a dark aura surrounded Shadow
"What the hell is happening!?" Shadow shouted as he was raised into the air. He saw the future. Everything that was destined to happen was right before his eyes. The aura vanished and Shadow fell to the ground unconscious and his memory of the vision was blurred. Several hours later Shadow awakened.
"Wow you sure take a long nap don't you Shadow" Blade snickered.
"Shut up …"Shadow whispered under his breath.
"So what happened to you? One second you're floating in the air with that dark aura and the next you're knocked out on the floor" Blade asked.
"I think I saw the future … But I don't remember it to well … the Gem of Darkness overwhelmed my psychic powers" Shadow said.
"Well that's just-"Blade was cut off by Shadow
"Well that's just great you see the future but you can't remember … Perfect just perfect" Shadow said. "Is that what you were going to say?"
"Actually … yeah how'd you know?" Blade asked
"I said I did not remember to well, not that I don't remember at all" Shadow said.
"Well good to see you remember something, you're not totally useless after all" Blade snickered.
"Look who's talking …" Shadow rolled his eyes.
