Naming: Sage's POV

I close my eyes and clear my mind. Ever since I arose as vampire three years ago, finding myself in burning thirst on top of the solid ocean, my instincts have kept me alive. I was a newborn, yet I feel controlled and reserved. It hadn't been that very long since I knew what I was meant to do. It was a single vision that triggered me to run miles and miles with no stop to tell these immortals that their immortality will be no more. That Prophecy will come true if those few special Chosen ones don't comply.

The Elemental, the Light, the Protector, the Sight, and the Prophet --- those are the sacrificial persons, including me.

The Elemental is Benjamin, which was confirmed through his abilities. I felt his power while I was ambling through the scattered crowd as I explained how this world was to be saved. Unfortunately, he was the only one I sensed. The other three must still be unveiled.

I inhale the oxygen, feeling the breathable air for the first time in my lungs. I sit a disserted part of the unseen dome where the humans lay. The light has subsided hours ago and now every human is asleep. It was the perfect time to figure out the missing puzzle pieces to whom I'd be dying with.

Show me, I chant inaudibly, show me whom you've chosen. Point them to me.

Likewise, I only felt the feeling inside me quaver. The reaction was neutral; it was not the strong sudden intuition I have whenever I receive a forewarning or the premonitory visions I see. Those only happen whenever whoever was giving them to me wanted me to receive those premonitions or answers. Usually, when I try to get another vision, I get the neutral sensation in response.

Show me, please, I wished again and had the same feeling once more.

I sighed, sighing for the first time in my second life, for I never had air in my body to exhale before this moment.

I sniffed the air slightly, sensing another presence in front of me. I opened my eyes to find a young lad with bronze hair, standing.

"My name is Edward Cullen," he introduced and I nodded, adding a small smile. "I overheard what you were thinking and am curious to finding out the missing puzzle pieces."

I raised an eyebrow at him. A mind reader, eh?, I thought and he grinned limitedly. How much of my thinking have you heard?

"I am aware of the indirect titles that make up the sacrificial victims. I won't tell Benjamin; it's not my place to."

We're all the victims here, Edward. Now about those metaphoric names, I still need to know those people. Since you are and will be the only one to know, will you help me find them? I choose to not waste time.

"Of course."

That was the end of our conversation and he turned to leave. I noticed the stiffness of his shoulder and a consideration came to my mind.

Is there someone you feel that fits any of the titles?

He didn't turn around or give an answer. He merely walked to where he came from. I presume that he will not talk to me about this any sooner. I have a feeling that many will get hurt.

The hours went by and dawn is already approaching. Again, I felt someone's presence.

"Do you have anything to say, Edward?" I asked, facing him.

"You told Tia what you've discovered," he stated. "He's the love of her life and it will pain her to see him go."

When he didn't continue, I prompted, "And?"

"And I think I should stop being so selfish," he responded slowly. "I have two people in mind that may fit two of the titles."

"I'm listening," I goaded.

"Alice foresees the future, symbolizing her as the Sight," he whispered, hardly audible, "and Bella is our Protector." His voice faltered at the latter.

Are you quite certain of this?, I thought questioningly.

"Quite," he replied.

I will have to study them myself. It's only consideration, Edward. There might still be a chance that you are wrong.

"I hope so."

Like the night before, he walked away. Then I begin pondering things again.

I have never fallen in love. Not in this life. When I was human, I was freely married, though never had children. The marriage only lasted for a year because the Apocalypse came the year after I wedded my deceased husband. No one expected it. I didn't expect it. I especially did not expect to be turned and wake up as a vampire on the year 3000.

Then my reminiscence was briskly turning into a graphic vision.

The heat is scorching. Humans are sweating, covering themselves from the sun with whatever cloth they have. Ice is melting everywhere and the humidity is unbearable. The humans are screaming, burying themselves under caved ice. Vampires are nowhere in sight; they have all jumped into the bottomless hole.

The humans are now dead. Their burnt bodies are mixed with melted water and the rays of the sun are quickly melting the ice surrounding the hole. They light make its way down to fifty feet, then seventy, a hundred…. The vampires are underwater and are now touching the ground of the real earth. Within the hour, the ocean has melted, though the deadly rays of the sun are piercing through its cool water. Underwater, the light touches the bodies of the vampires, burning their unbreakable skin. Soon, their bodies were showing flames that never ceases and were turning into ashes. Whatever physical power they have, the incredible heat was immune to it. Shortly after, all of them were dead. The humans were long dead. Immortals were no more. Earth does not exist.

I took an abrupt intake of breath. I will not let the Prophecy happen. I will find those three others and I have to know them soon.
