But then, after I saw that past she lived… Suddenly, something else emerged. It wasn't a part of her past, yet it wasn't within her mind, somewhere.
A completely red sky, flames covering the entire landscape, monstrous and strange creatures roaming the entire world, and a gigantic, red castle resting amidst these infernal landscapes.
From within this castle there was an endless evil darkness, surging everywhere, covering the entire world. This darkness glanced into my very soul in that moment.
Its eyes glowing bright red, its claws extending towards my soul, as if trying to grasp it!
"This world… It shall be consumed… Like the previous one was."
It spoke with a nefarious voice, darkness encompassing and engulfing me completely.
The infernal flames of this landscape hid behind the ruins of enormous buildings that resembled the ruins that the Gods had built in ancient times.
And as this strange, demonic being emerged from its red castle, six other figures, just as gigantic and demonic as this one appeared amidst the flames, speaking in unison.
"By the grace of our almighty Lord, everything shall be consumed by the flames of eternal rage!"
Their powers consumed my very soul, it felt as if I was burning alive, being torn to pieces…
This strange vision quickly ended, however, as I felt like it was merely a small thing, when it felt so vivid and real…
But then, a second vision emerged just like the other, glimpses of a possible future, or perhaps a forgotten past, or maybe… somebody else emerged.
This time, it was a gigantic city, resembling the capital of the Elven Kingdom. However, most of the buildings were destroyed and set ablaze.
The entire city was on ruins, thousands of corpses laying over the rubble, blood everywhere…
And then there was a young person, sitting over a pile of corpses, of many elves, I couldn't see his face, nor even how he looked like, but he was wearing a black suit, and holding a crown made of darkness.
His aura exuded an almighty power, while he held with his hands… the head of the King?!
"I will purge this world of filth, and free it from all you…" He spoke. "My people shall no longer live in fear… I will shape this world for them. Even if I have to kill millions."
His eyes glowed with pure malice, darkness, and red energy overflowing from them, as he stared into my very soul.
The vision quickly ended there, leaving me completely speechless…
And then, the third and last vision appeared.
An endless sea of blood flooded over the entire world. Rivers of blood, the corpses of billions of people, and other lifeforms floating over the endless blood.
The world was filled with crimson red and darkness, and the skies slowly opened to reveal a gigantic metallic airship, where many celestial figures emerged from within.
On top of the sea of blood, a strange, aberrant being emerged, composed of all the dead, all the blood, the whole world itself.
Its body constantly shapeshifted into many monstrous forms, constantly attempting to regain its true form, but never managing to…
On its gigantic claws, there were the lifeless bodies of… me and my family?
"GRAAAHHH…! RAAAAHHHHH…!"
The gigantic monster cried in agony and despair, its countless eyes overflowing with tears of blood, as if it didn't wanted to do what it did… as if it didn't wanted to kill anybody, yet it was somehow forced to.
The Celestial figures emerged from the skies, their divine weapons on hand as they clashed against the endless abomination.
One after another, they were killed, the world… was freed from the gods.
But at what cost…
Everyone was dead, not even the Demons were spared…
It was a lifeless world, filled with a sea of blood and corpses.
And… the endless cry of a child.
"Ah!"
When I opened my eyes, I felt slightly tired, but the soothing warmth of Yggdra encompassed my entire body, calming me down.
"Yggdra… W-What was that?! What did I saw there?!" I cried, asking for an answer.
"I'm sorry…" Yggdra cried. "I couldn't stop it. I… as I grew, I developed a power, an ability. I can see glimpses of possible futures, premonitions. It seems that such things activated when we made a contract…"
"P-Premonitions… of a possible future?!" I cried in horror. "W-
What… what does that… even… means?"
"It means that they have yet to happen, and that they might not even happen at all…" Yggdra said, feeling sorry for me. "I-I'm so sorry, Sylphy… It's all my fault… I never asked for this power."
"…" I remained in silence, calming myself down from seeing such horrors. "I-It's fine." I smiled, caressing her wood. "If those things have not happened yet, then… We'll make sure they never happen."
"Sylphy…" Yggdra said, surprised over how quickly I accepted things.
"Sorry, I had a bit of a panic attack there, but I'm glad to know it was just a premonition." I sighed in relief. "Nonetheless, that's a lot of food for thought."
"C-Certainly." Yggdra nodded. "I also saw what you saw, to an extent… These premonitions might have been what I would call… The Three Calamities. Three different Calamities that will bring an end to the world as you know it. It feels… almost as if Fate itself wanted me to show these to you."
"I see…" I contemplated. "I-I'm still processing things. Let's discuss this later though, I wouldn't want to ruin this nice moment with this. But… I'll think about these things for now."
"Yes, it's fine. I'm sorry again…" She sighed.
"No, it's alright. You shouldn't be sorry about these things. They certainly didn't come in the best time but… Well, they'll help me figure things out one way or another." I patted her wood. "Right, Naturia?"
"Foo! Foo!" Naturia nodded. "I don't know what you're talking about but I'm happy you made a contract! Mama's power is overflowing through you, Sylphy!"
"Oh, right…" I said, feeling my Aura constantly growing larger. "T-This is amazing…"
Ding!
