Jarek reached his room and closed the door, quickly the shadows wrapped him and the building up completely and he fell to his knees, curling himself into a tight ball. How was he supposed to be strong, how could anyone be strong against what they faced. Jarek lashed out suddenly, pushing himself to his feet and shattering through the bed that he slept on once, two days he had been here now and he had slept once... Tears ran down his face as he thought about it, a BloodKnight for so long and really so little attachment to them until now.
"Janai.." Jarek whispered her name, he had known her for two years, he nursed her to health after she single handledly defeated Transt Animus and took his darkness into herself and sealed it away... Transt had cut open her throat and had it not been for the phoenix magic she held Jarek never could have saved her, and now that darkness that made Transt Animus so undefeatable is exactly what possessed Janai.
The shadows opened, against Jarek's will and a man appeared. Silverhair smooth and tied back, wearing all white. The man had the face and body of Jonath Forwynd, the BloodKnight X, but Jarek could tell that this wasn't Jonath Forwynd, this was 'him'.
"WHY?! Why now do I have the sight?!" Jarek screamed out, "Why did you give it to me? Why did you show me visions of Jihad of the Shadows? Why did you show me of Tiani and Kyira? I am only a BloodKnight, a simple assassin with a powerful ability in the shadow magics, I'm nothing compared to the BloodKnights who came before me!" Jarek's voice weakened and the tears streaked his face, "Why me?"
"The first BloodKnights were Dragon Priests... On a monk, used his Ki to give him strength and had an innate ability in Dragon Magic, the other a mage with no innate power... Brothers. Today the one with no innate power is the strongest BloodKnight ever, his Dragon Magic is stronger then his brothers, his BloodKnight abilities far surpassing any other. True, the Dragon Gods blessed him before willingly sacrificing their lives to give life to the BloodKnight Order but he is still the most powerful.
"BloodKnights were elementalists before anything else, two of them, the leaders were dragon mages.. But their armies were amassed of elemental mages and simple farmers trained with swords. They destroyed the first Dark BloodKnights. Now the strongest magic in the BloodKnight army is elemental magic, everyone from the newly joined farmer to the great Janai Ravenglass is a master of the BloodKnight elemental magics. Except you. Jarek Shadow Blood. You were honored by Cabal Drakor and Jonath Forwynd, an entire faction of the BloodKnight order named after you, the Shadow Bloods.
"How can you think so low of yourself? You a man who fought three Dark BloodKnight generals at one time and held your own until X and Janai appeared to back you up. You who fought Cabal Drakor the strongest of the Shadow Bloods and forced him to kneel to you before telling him that you would then follow him as a Shadow Blood yourself. I gave you this sight, Jarek Shadow Blood, because I have seen the future... Hell I am the future, Jarek you need to stand up, goto Dawnsfire and keep moving. If only for Janai. Dawnsfire needs you. Zygenda needs you.
The man smiled to Jarek who's face had turned hard and focused, his tears had stopped. As the man faded Jarek stood to his feet and finished packing.
Jarek reappeared at Dawnsfire's cottage a while later with a pack horse and a smile, his face and eyes showed no betrayal of what was going on inside, showed no sign of how broken up he really was.
