Wow. I have been slacking, huh?

Ahnaressu entered the yurt, to see the ashkhan himself, the gulakhans, and none other than Nibani Maesa, the wise woman, sitting around a fire that was blazing in the middle of the yurt.
"Sit down, Ahnaressu." Sul-Matuul said, pointing to an open place around the fire.
Ahnaressu obeyed, wondering why exactly he was here.
"Nibani has discovered something that may interest you." he continued, once Ahnaressu took his place.
Stop beating around the bush and tell me! Ahnaressu thought impatiently, but composed himself and politely said, "And what is that?"
"A prophecy." Nibani cut in.
Ahnaressu raised an eyebrow. "The nerevarine prophecy? I've heard that it is near to its complet-"
"No, the Nerevarine prophecy is irrelevant to this one." Nibani said, cutting Ahnaressu off. "This one is not even written in the Elder Scrolls, to my knowledge. It is merely a vision I have had ever since the attack." With that explained, Nibani asked Ahnaressu to tell her everything that had happened to him since the attack. As he did so, Nibani would nod, as if everything was becoming clear. When he was finished with his story, Nibani began telling him of the prophecy.
Ahnaressu sat, listening, as Nibani told him of the visions. One particular scene was quite familiar; one with Valnor swinging at him after killing the ashkhan; possibly the entire tribe. she also told him of the voice that spoke while she was seeing the vision.
"You are the one to kill this exiled ashlander, if my visions are correct. I can sense the lust for revenge in you, I can see it in your eyes. You might even be able to stop him from destroying all of the tribes. My visions are sometimes what could be, and sometimes what will be. I never know until it happens, or something else happens to prevent it."
"But you can't see beyond that last scene can you? You can't see if I will defeat him, hell, you can't even see if I will fight him." Ahnaressu said, just to be argumentative; he didn't like seeing his future as predetermined, he liked to think that he controlled his own future.
"No, I can't." Nibani replied. "But you know as well as I that there will be a fight, but the winner has not yet been determined."
"Tell me one more time," Ahnaressu said, "What did the voice say?"
---- Enjoy. Will update again soon.
