Chapter 13:

The Awakening of Power - Part 2

Veil of the Shadow Hunter


The dawn was just breaking as Leegna rose from his restless sleep, the revelations of the previous night still fresh in his mind. Yuj's cryptic words and the mention of the Time Guardians had left him with a profound sense of urgency. Yet amid the uncertainty, one thing was clear: he had newfound powers that he needed to understand and harness.

-In the quiet of his room, Leegna focused inward, attempting to access the power of precognition that Yuj had hinted at. As he concentrated, a sudden, vivid vision flashed before him—a scene of chaos and violence unfolding in a nearby alleyway. The images were fragmented, but the sense of impending danger was unmistakable.

He snapped out of the vision, his heart racing. The vision had been both alarming and instructive. He saw glimpses of a shadowy figure and heard muffled screams. The urgency was clear: a murder was about to happen, and he had the chance to prevent it.

Leegna wasted no time. He grabbed his coat and raced out the door, his mind focused on the images from his vision. The alleyway from his vision was not far; he knew he had to act quickly.

As he arrived at the alleyway, he scanned the surroundings with heightened awareness, guided by the remnants of his vision. The narrow passage was dimly lit, with trash bins casting long shadows. He moved cautiously, his senses attuned to every sound and movement.

-Then, he saw them—a figure looming over a helpless individual. The scene from his vision was coming to life. Leegna's heart pounded as he approached, trying to find a way to intervene without escalating the situation.

Drawing upon his newfound power, he focused intently, trying to influence the unfolding events. The power of precognition seemed to guide his actions, providing flashes of insight that allowed him to anticipate the attacker's movements. He saw a chance—a momentary distraction that could shift the balance in favor of the victim.

With swift precision, Leegna intervened. He threw a nearby object, creating a loud noise that startled the attacker. The assailant turned, momentarily disoriented, giving the victim a chance to escape. Leegna seized the opportunity, confronting the attacker and using his agility and strength to subdue him.

The confrontation was brief but intense. Leegna's actions, guided by his precognitive insights, proved effective. The attacker was soon restrained, and the victim was safe, though visibly shaken. As the authorities arrived to take control of the situation, Leegna slipped away, not wanting to draw attention to himself.

He stood in the shadows of the alleyway, the weight of the night's events settling upon him. The power of precognition had proven invaluable, allowing him to act with foresight and prevent a tragedy. Yet as he reflected on the experience, a sense of unease lingered.

-The vision had shown him more than just the immediate danger—it had hinted at a greater, more ominous presence. The sense of foreboding from the night before seemed to intensify, and Leegna couldn't shake the feeling that the events were far from over.

As he made his way back to his home, the streets seemed eerily quiet, as if the city itself was holding its breath. The familiar sense of safety was overshadowed by the realization that darker forces were at play.

In the stillness of his room, Leegna tried to calm his racing thoughts. He knew that the power of precognition was only the beginning, and that the challenges ahead would test him in ways he couldn't yet fully comprehend.

-As he lay in bed, trying to quiet his mind, he caught a glimpse of movement outside his window. Shadows flitted past, and an icy chill swept through the room. He sensed a presence, an ominous feeling that sent a shiver down his spine. The Time Guardians, whose existence had been hinted at, felt closer than ever.

The grave mistake he did was not knowing what contract he had beforehand , which led him to meeting the force -The Time Guardians

-As unpleasant as it sounds Leegna was going to seek support from Yuj , and this was the moment Yuj was waiting for , and thus the contract was exposed making Leegna hostage in his own body.
