Your Past - Stan Loden
I possess a power to foresee the future, called “Foresight”. I’ve used this ability to foresee the future of Lispia Continent numerous times.
I tried to hide this fact, but over time people started to notice and eventually the rumor spread around.
But even if I could see the future, oftentimes I'm too afraid to do anything and ended up doing nothing...
Father is the complete opposite of me.
If he had the same ability as me, even if the future he foresees is the worst that could possibly happen, he will surely try anything in his power to try to change it and to save anyone he can. Whether it be humans or demi-humans, he will stretch his hand towards anyone in need. I respect him so much for it.
In this continent, 5 different races exist; The humans, the beastmen, the seafolks, the dragons, and the fairies. Yet they all show no interest in living hand in hand with one another.
Many times I’ve discussed with father on how to bring all the races together so we can live peacefully, but we couldn’t come up with anything concrete, and our discussion always ends with him putting on a sad smile...
I was hoping my “Foresight” could let me see a future where all races work together to bring the Lispia continent into one as a whole, but I’m starting to believe it's all just a mere pipe dream.
One day, father decided that he will go to a place called the Holy City of Kataliah by himself.
It is a place just recently discovered, and no one knows what’s inside.
After he went home from that city, he made a face like something was weighing his mind constantly. And yet, he never shared it with me. He never told me what he found in that mysterious place...
Not long after that, father started visiting the demi-humans races’ countries one by one.
And not even one month after he started doing that, a peace agreement was established in the next Lispia Council meeting.
The demi-humans were always disparate, and I have no idea why they suddenly decided to agree on a peace agreement. It's a miracle.
But I do know that this agreement is only words on paper. It could break even with just small ripples of conflicts.
Today, 10 years later after that meeting,
father is trying to destroy that very same agreement he tried so hard to accomplish...
Lately I’ve noticed that father has become like a different person.
He started becoming more mean towards the people around him, and he always shut himself in his study room.
I frequently found him talking towards empty spaces too, as if he was talking to someone else.
It’s like he was possessed by something I couldn’t see...
And then, comes the day of “Recouncil”.
And my “Foresight” gave me visions of the result of that meeting.
A cruel and hellish vision of the future.
Visions of father destroying the Lispia continent…
