“What happens in two nights?” the young man asked, almost afraid to hear the answer.
“Why, Rupert… I already told you. All the way back when I started my tale. This world, this entire civilization… is ending.” The smile on Zed’s face was dark. “The truth is, in two days, I’ll be the one that ends it.”
“How did you know my…?” Rupert gasped as he saw behind the illusion that Zed was using. “You really are him! Your Sigil! Oh, Celestials above it’s… it’s…”
A few minutes later, a middle-aged man stepped out of the tavern. “Rupert? Son, what are you doing out here? Are you… Rupert! Are you alright?”
“Dad! I saw…!”
“What, Rupert?”
“There was… something. Something terrible!”
The father looked around, swallowing nervously. “I think this might have been a long night. Let’s get you to bed.”
There was no movement, and the father began to grow cautious. “What is it, boy? Are you ill?”
“No, I just needed to tell you…” Rupert looked at his dad and shook his head sadly. He couldn’t remember the thing he had seen; only that it was incredibly important.
“Something.”
