Prophecy of the Seer

I didn’t have time to worry about that right now, though, not when he had a glowing sword pointed directly at my head.
A steeled look crept over his face as he looked me over, pausing at the ragged shoes barely covering my feet.
“You shouldn’t have come here,” he said in a voice that tugged at faint—distant—memories. “You should have never-”
His voice stopped suddenly as he made his way up to my face. Silence passed between us as his eyes widened and the sword dropped to his side
“What is this?” he asked, his voice panicked. “I had no idea. What are you doing out here?”
I fumbled for something else in my pocket. I wasn’t sure why this man hesitated the way he was, but I wasn’t one to complain about good fortune, especially given how unfamiliar I’d been with it.
“You’re not a guard, are you?” I asked, swallowing hard.
“I am not,” he answered, obviously confused. “You know this.”
“I know I’m trying to survive,” I said. “And that I’m sorry about this.” Feeling the copper shard in my pocket, I tossed it out. It latched onto the hoverboard carrying him, and did its job instantly. Reversing the workings of the machine, it shot him backward.
I grinned as he went yelling off into the distance, going reverse at full speed.
I watched him for a second longer than I should have given my situation, but I couldn’t tear my eyes off of him.
He was shouting something, but I could no longer hear the words coming from his mouth.
A ripple of warning rose from my belly, and up my throat.
Why did he look at me in that way?
