Inhuman Warlock

As Predictor explained, Lucifer grew amazed. He really hadn't thought about it like this ever before.

"The second prediction about you which I saw was the day of your meeting with Veracity. The meeting between you two also paved the way to your future in ways unknown," Predictor continued.

"That was the second Prediction about me? What was the third one then?" Lucifer asked, frowning.

He had done many things after his meeting with Veracity which also included killing Raia. He wondered if the Predictor knew something.

"Now that I think about it, Raia's death was also a world changing event as it brought me into this leadership position. Don't tell me you didn't see how he died?" he asked.

Predictor took a deep breath, sighing.

"You're right. His death was also a world changing event. And I certainly saw it too. But I keep that in the category of predictions related to Raia. The third prediction for you is different."

Hearing the Predictor talk about seeing the death of Raia, Lucifer's smile disappeared. It meant that he actually saw who killed Raia.

"If you saw it, tell me who killed him?" Lucifer asked solemnly.

"The person who is standing before me killed him, of course," Predictor replied.

Lucifer clenched his fist, but he didn't attack. Predictor was important to him. He couldn't kill this guy.

"If you saw it, why didn't you alert Raia about it?" Lucifer asked, frowning.

"Because I didn't know if it was a normal dream or a prediction. I thought it was an ordinary dream," Predictor replied.

"I don't buy that answer. You can't distinguish between any Prediction and Dream, but that never stopped you from informing others about it. Tell me the truth!" Lucifer commanded.

"Also, why didn't you inform the others about it after it actually happened?" he asked.

"Fine! It's because I wanted him dead too, even if it was actually a Prediction," Predictor replied, sighing.

"Why?" Lucifer asked, surprised. Predictor wanted Raia dead? Is that why he hid such important information from Raia?

"Because I didn't just see his death. I saw what happened before that too. In my prediction, I saw his conversation with Varant too. I heard how he and Varant worked together to kill Zale," Predictor replied.

" For a person that claims to be fighting for Variants, he was actually only interested in ruling himself. After hearing his conversation, it became absolutely clear to me." he continued, getting off the bed.

"Even I killed Variants, so why don't you betray me as well?" Lucifer asked, frowning.

"Well, I won't lie; I did think about telling others that you killed Raia, but I didn't."

"Why didn't you?" Lucifer asked.

"Because I had a dream that same night. In that dream, I told everyone about your betrayal. You want to know how that dream ended?" Predictor asked.

"How?" Lucifer asked solemnly.

"It ended with the destruction of Elisium and my death. I didn't want my dream to turn into a prediction, so I didn't tell anyone," Predictor explained. "As I said, my destiny is intertwined with yours."

"How can I know that you won't betray me in the future?" Lucifer asked, frowning.

"Because I don't want to die? That's the only reason I never leave this facility? I love my life a little too much to betray you. If you still don't trust me, you can bring Veracity here to test my words," Predictor let out, sighing.

"Moreover, I truly think that you can bring us to great heights, even though your methods are a bit unconventional. Also, I think you actually care for Uprising."

"The way you grew concerned when I told you about Kellian's death? I think my decision was right," he continued.

"You said you saw three Predictions about me? What was the third Prediction?" Lucifer asked, sitting on the bed.

"I saw your future..." Predictor said, sighing.

"What was in my future?" Lucifer asked.

"I can't answer that," Predictor said, smiling wryly. "I think it's better if it stays a mystery."

"I want to know! What did you see?" Lucifer asked gravely.

"Well, at this point, I don't even know if it's a prediction or a dream. So you shouldn't be concerned about it. I mean, it's nothing serious anyway," Predictor said vaguely.

"I don't care even if it's not serious. I just want to know what it is! Even if it's a dream, tell me!"

"Fine! I saw you kissing a woman. Of course, I didn't want to tell you about this. It's always weird to tell another man that you saw a dream about his kiss," Predictor exclaimed, shaking his head.

"Also, it would make you self conscious in that girl's presence if you know that you might be kissing her in the future. So don't ask who that girl was," he continued, rolling his eyes.

Lucifer went blank, not knowing what to say. He had previously thought that Predictor saw about some great battle or something, but it was about a kiss?

He really was curious about this kiss though. Why would he kiss someone? And who was that person?

"When was it? How far in the future?" Lucifer asked.

"Well, I don't think it's too far in the future. Probably within the next one year," Predictor explained. "Keep one thing in mind. It might actually be a dream, no matter how odd this sounds."

"I won't ask who that girl was. In any case, I'm sure it's probably a dream, just like the dream of Salazar killing Kellian," Lucifer said, not taking this Prediction seriously.

"As you said, your Predictions can be world changing events only. A kiss can never be something that should affect the whole world," he continued.

'If only you knew who that girl was,' Predictor thought, smiling wryly. 'If it actually happens, it'll be really big.'

"Maybe... Or maybe not," he innocently said.

"No other dream about me?" Lucifer asked.

"Not at the moment. I already told you, if it's something significant, I would tell you. I just didn't tell you about this kiss because it wasn't significant," Predictor answered.

"One last question. Will you really never leave this base? What's the risk outside? If there's something I can help with, tell me."

"There's nothing you can do. If it were a problem that could've been solved with strength, I would've been out of this place long ago. I don't enjoy being unable to go out either, but it's important if I want to live."

"Can you tell me why?" Lucifer asked, frowning. "What makes you think that you'll die if you leave?"
