Priestess

White… Bright… Limitless… That's how Katie described where she was now. She was floating in some kind of space, without any sky or ground. It was just like floating in a sea of nothing. But she didn't know what this place was. In fact, she didn't know how she got here in the first place. She just floated there, wondering where she was.

"You are in one of the worlds that are between the living and the dead, Katie of Gaia… Some of your people would probably call this Purgatory…" The Earthling yelped before turning to the source to see a woman, older than her standing. She looked like a Greek goddess with toga-like clothing and long hair. She was also wearing some crown-like tiara on her head. The younger blinked before realizing what the woman had said.

"You mean… I'm…?" she didn't bother finishing that question. After everything she went through, after going head-on against Talons, it was all for nothing. Now, her sister was going to walk blindly into the Cyclonians' trap and there was nothing she could do to stop it. That fact almost made her fearful that there might be another one joining soon.

The woman continued to look at her with a nonchalant face and soothingly said, "No… You have fainted and your self-conscious is caught between the two planes, Katie of Gaia." That was a relief; Katie thought for one second that she was really dead. Of course, she was still confused about the Gaia-thing and how the woman knew her name.

"Who are you, and how do you know my name?" she asked, since there was nothing better to do. In a place that is empty with nobody else to talk to, she needed something to kill the time before she could wake up wherever her body was in.

"… I am the Oracle of this world," the woman answered solemnly, causing the girl to gaze with suspicion. She knew that oracles are people with an excessive amount of knowledge and some "supposedly" can see the future. It also explained a little how she knew her name. The spirit then continued, "I have seen what has happened and what will happen… And now that I am free, I can see much more."

"What do you mean by seeing much more?"the Earthling asked, trying to continue the conversation. Besides, this was getting interesting.

"When one dies, time doesn't stop for them, nor does it go forward. It becomes omnipresent, allowing those in certain realms to view past, present, and future of many. Ever since I was free of my prison, I have seen the past wars of your world and mine, the rise of sky knights, the civilization evolution of your world when the Americas separated from their overseas rule, the discoveries being made, the battles taking place, and I have even seen the trials you and your sister faced and will face."

At hearing that sentence, the girl quickly took notice. "My sister?! You know what Emma has been doing?!" She wanted to know what was happening to her younger sibling; was she okay, was she safe, there were a million questions rushing through her mind.

The Oracle just looked at her and answered, "I have known what your sister has been doing and what she will do. But I haven't gone farther than what I want to see, because I know you would ask what is going to happen in the future. You might try to stop it, causing something worse to happen. Both you and your sister will have to face obstacles that require your own strength. But don't be scare; the two of you will gain much from these trials." There was a bright flash, causing Katie to feel a bit weak. The woman just looked at her before asking, "Is there something you wish to see before you leave?"

The Earthling blinked, before thinking about it. If someone who can see the future asks a person what they wanted to see, there would be a million things. So, one must have to think carefully if they weren't going to have a chance like that again. It wasn't long before she told the spirit, "I want to see if my sister is alright."

The woman nodded, before disappearing from sight. Suddenly, the realm the girl was in started to change into the fantasy of her floating in the sky. It didn't scare her one bit since it was just an illusion. Of course, she was a little confused as to why the sky had anything to do with it since she knew Emma was scared of heights. After a few seconds of looking around, she saw something that gave her a shock. Soon, it evaporated into hope as she got a closer look at it.

On a small skimmer, riding with a purple-haired woman, was her sister, freaked-out, but safe.

Katie's eyelids opened half-way, and suddenly fully when she realized she wasn't in the same prison cell she usually was in. This one didn't have marks she made when she was on Cyclonia. Was she in a new cell or was this some new torture technique so she wouldn't try to escape again? She got her answer when she heard a conversation between two grunts.

"Aw man, I still can't believe I'm missing the Screechers' concert just to babysit some stupid prisoner," one of them said, causing the girl to pout. She wasn't stupid; they were just saying that because they had other plans besides escorting her. She didn't want to be here either.

The response from the other was, "I feel ya, man, but it's Cyclonis and the commanders said so. Besides, Starling has her now and they think it won't be long until the others know. If word gets out, the first place they would look is Cyclonia, so it is valid to move her to somewhere else where no one else knows about." After hearing his answer, the Earthling felt despair. But then relief that the illusion she saw was really true.

So, her sister was safe, yet still out in this dangerous world. It worried her a lot, but deep in her heart, she knew her little sibling would be alright. As for her, the young woman just rested against the wall behind her. There wasn't much to do; she was going back to the usually routine of having her memories suck out of her. But that didn't stop her from smiling; there was one thing she knew that Cyclonia or anyone else could take away from her or her sister. It was hope and faith for something better.

And so she looked up at the ceiling and began to wait for the time until she was finally free and with her friends and family again.

Author's Notes:

It's finally done! The three-piece is done! Sorry for the corny ending, folks… I couldn't think of anything else.

I hope you guys enjoy this. It turned out pretty good, even if it was short probably. And if some of you are confused at where this ends, it is after Chapter 9.

I would like to Kitten2007 and Cold-heart-Angel23, and Kitten2007 for the story fav. Thank you for your support and sorry if you didn't like the ending.

Please Read and Review!
