'After arriving to Oumad's home, situated in the middle of the forest

Oumad tells Herald to take a shower, Leon's blood and smell is all over his clothes..Which Herald agrees on.'

'As he's taking the shower, and feeling the warm water dropping on his head, shoulders and back..

Cleaning the blood of his companion, his brother..

Herald had finally calmed down his mind, organized his thoughts and accepted the cruel reality of nature.'

'He thought of his lovely woman and said to himself that she is surely worried at him, and decided to send her a message after getting out of the shower.'

'He also thought how not being alone, is such a privelege and grace.

Be it in good moments or bad.'

'In fact he is sure that when its in bad situations, you learn to appreciate that more...

Herald gets out of the shower, looking like his usual self again which Oumad comments on.'

"That face suits you better.."

Herald replies with a slight smile on his face, "Yeah, i guess so..."

Oumad, "Sit down, i made for us some coffee"

Herald sits down and starts drinking it to warm his body.

Oumad "So, tell me more about your powers, I still haven't exactly understood them."

Herald, "Well, not that i fully understood them myself either, i was only awakened 2 nights ago..But i'll tell you what i know as of now. My third eye gives me the ability to look into someone's next 5minutes, either by rayons and energy waves or by a big screen that appears on top of their heads. I haven't understood how the rayons work yet, using the screen is the most direct way obviously.."

Oumad looks interested and asks him, " So that explains how you were able to see Leon's death before it happened..."

Herald replies, "Yes..."

Oumad, "I have noticed your weird behavior before the incident happened, that made me sure of my claim that you're an atlantean and i wasn't just imagining the eye on your forehead."

Oumad goes on, "I only came up to that conclusion not because i knew what the eye does, i do not have enough knowledge yet to explain even half of the Atlantic fates and powers. But once i saw how you were trying to stop him, i was sure."

Herald, "I did not expect you to be anywhere close to what you are now Oumad, so all my focus was put into saving Leon.

Let me ask you..Did you know about Leon's death before as well?"

Oumad, "Yes, about a month before it actually happened..."

'Herald stays silent,

he could not say anything because he realised how tough it must have been for Oumad, to know about it all that time..''

Oumad, "Why you're silent? don't you have questions after hearing that? Don't you wanna know why i stood still and didn't attempt preventing that from happening?"

Herald, 'I do not doubt that brother, you must have faced even a tougher time than me yesterday, given the fact that you've known about it a month ago'


Oumad, "You should not blindly trust me like that, i know you dont take what most people say from it's face value...But yes, i have attempted doing so and i realized what you realized. Time is fate and to he , can be done or held still..."

Herald now finally has the time to think deeply about these words that Oumad previously spoke minutes after the incident

and proceeds to ask, "..Oumad, what's your power exactly?'

Oumad replies, "About time you asked, brother."

"Herald, i want you to open your third eye and use it on me."

Herald is surprised from this request, "..Why??! I am not sure i want to do that shortly after Leon's death... Plus i think using it blacks out my short term memory, it's as if when the 5 minutes end, i can only remember the most important thing that i've seen in that stretch. it is only when i re-create those images in real life that my memory brings them back to my mind. This gives me a strong headache and confusion...."

Oumad, "I see, you sure know a lot for someone that only knew about his Atlantean blood 2 nights ago. It took me weeks to get to a similar point. But worry not, OUR powers do not work negatively on each other. Atlanteans are never meant to fight with each other or use their powers against them. This side effect will not occur. Just try using it on me..."

Herald trusted Oumad's claim. hesitated for a moment but then opened his third eye widely...

This time, The rayons coming out of Oumad's body are much different than the ones from the other times he used his power... they're so stable, and all together formed a form of a protection wall. surrounding Oumad's body from head to toe... When it comes to the fate revealer screen, the view is about the same..

the 5 minutes ended

Herald, "It's okey, i used it.."

Oumad looks kind of suprised, "..Really? it has only been 5 seconds since you opened it..."

Herald, "Yes when it comes to that, i think my 5 minutes when using my powers are only 5 seconds in earthly time..."

Oumad, "...I see, that makes sense.

What did you see? "

Herald, "You were right, I remember everything..

Oh god these same words am uttering right now...Somehow i am not confused this time...

Anyways, ive seen us having this same conversation, but also i've seen that you injured yourself after dropping that cup of coffee you're holding right because of it's shattering...

Nothing harmful tho. Although i hate it even if it was the smallest harm, and i hate it more that i can do nothing about it."

Oumad, "I see, you've done a good job brother...

If i was you, such powers would cause me mental troubles. just knowing that you know that i will say, literally, everything that comes out of my mouth now is really a messed up kind of power..."

Herald, "Yes, but i think each one of the Atlanteans, whom were given these powers can deal with their own powers in an almost naural way as time progresses. I dont think just me being me is what makes me sustain this power."

Oumad, "Yes, that is a good remark..

Before Oumad could complete his sentence Herald interrupts him.

"Now, you're going to drop the cup..."

Oumad, held the cup so carelessly and took a looong sip from it...and then puts it on the table.

Having a big smile on his face, in an ironic manner, says

"Well, i dont see anything happening Herald...Could it be that your powers are misleading you?"

*The 5 minutes stretch ends here*

Herald is as confused as ever, he checked again his memory if something escaped it but that is not the case.

"....I dont..I dont know!!! I am sure of what the fate revealer revealed to me.

I can see it clearly in my mind even now that the 5minutes went by...

I dont know what is it but, there must be an explanation to this..."

Oumad laughs a little and replies, "Yes, there is an explanation.

Those are my powers Herald."

'Oumad shows his wrist that was before covered by his long sleeves shirt.

On it, A watch made of what seemed to Herald at first glace, Oumad's bones and flesh...

It was the weirdest watch Herald had ever seen, almost terrified him but he is not to talk, the eye on his forehead is as weird and terrifying.'

'He linked both things and concluded that this is the manifestation of Oumad's powers.'

Herald, in a low thoughtful tone says, "...It's the same thing as my forehead eye, isn't it?

Your powers have something to do with time!!"

Oumad, "Nothing short of what i expected my brother to be, you're quick to smartly think as usual... Your conclusion is right."

Herald is still looking confused, "..But that doesn't explain to me entirely how you didn't drop the cup and injured yourself..."

Oumad, "Ugh, yeah i was hoping you would not ask...

It took me 6 months to know what i am about to explain to you right now, so excuse me if it's going to be somewhat long..."
