present
I looked up into the night sky from the clearing and began to recall the many friends I had made in the many universes before my banishment.
With a heavy sigh, I closed my eyes and hoped that I was not the only one to have endured a millenia.
As I got deeper into my meditations and cast my mind out, I felt them all...and more!
The old Knight of the Sun.
The two stoner Lunatics.
The sideways talking Riddle Twins.
The vengeful Huntsman.
All of my former associates from before my imprisonment were alive and well.
'I guess I was not the only one to be imprisoned, then.'
Hoping for one in particular, I reached into the closest parallel and I found her. My best lunatic.
'I will see you again soon.'
Smiling, I tapped into my Will and started ending out Orbs by the dozens.
As they flew out, they formed into a blue-white meteor shower.
When my last Orb flew out and the night sky returned to its former, still image, I found my thoughts drifting back to her.
Back to the only being with a bloodlust and penchant of destruction on par with my own.
