Tommy scooted into a more comfortable position, his feet burning in the sands. If one observed, you could see small glass dust particles forming in the sands. Tommy waited impatiently.

Maddy looked over. "Okay, fine. Go on already."
Theresa sighed. "It seems my assumption is correct. You have been most restless for the past while, haven't you, my dear? Then you too feel the changes in the air." Theresa allowed her fingers to feel the imprints in the parchment. "This vision I had. It entailed many things. Darkness, fire, destruction. Pictures of a place I know is not of this world. It also had light, a sense of hope. But enough with the delay. As the vision flashed through my mind, these words screamed in my ears. I believe them to be a prophecy." With that said, she began to recite the prophecy, her fingers guiding themselves over the imprints with fluid motion:
Of a world unknown, of fire and hate
Seventeen shall arise, and their master seek
Long vanished he, to the mortal land
Hearts darkened with evil, the vassals ride to war
Two stars arise, daughters of the darkness
Distinct yet alike, their fates reversed
Ravaged by shadows, one must protect
Blessed by light, one shall destroy
One star must fade, the other shall grow
Vassals, lord, and stars converge, stalked by darkness
The hope of all rests in purest snow.
Theresa went silent, to allow the words to sink in.

After a long silence, "CLICHE!" Adam called, "Seriously? A riddle?" Despite the wit, Adam was systematically replaying the words in his head, trying to make sense of them.

Tommy sat where he was blank faced. You couldn't tell what he was thinking. Unless you could read minds or whatever.

Sammy moaned. "Ugh, angels and ministers of mercy, why a riddle? Well, I'm assuming this pertains to someone with darkness in them. Who the hell in Aqua is dark? We're all too damn happy 'round here," she stated, glancing over at Adam. Inwardly, a big grin was present, but outwardly she showed no signs of emotion. Emotion was, as she discovered, a weakness that would prevent her from getting power.

Tommy started thinking. Let's see... Apparently theres a riddle... fire... and seventeen people... no, 18?... darkened hearts and a vanished leader... and then two stars/daughters... and different fates... one must fade... And so Tommy's thoughts went. he was very horrible at riddles.

"Purest Snow." Ginji muttered to himself as the words sank in and started playing around his head. "Pory, mind saving the data for later and cross referencing it?" he asked as his Porygon-Z materialized from his DigiDex, nodded and phased back in, getting to work.
He leaned back and fell to look at the stars in the sky. "There are less of them now. Does this mean the Darkness is coming faster?" he asked Theresa. It was a valid question, the hour of Darkness very well could be upon them.

Maddy looked down at the sand. She shook her head and looked up again, glaring at Theresa with a hatred that maybe the blind women could actually see. "I'm gone. I don't need to sit here and listen to this crap." With that, Maddy turned and began to walk away from them all. But she stopped in her tracks when Theresa spoke to her.
"You can feel the evil approaching because it relates to you." Theresa said to Maddy. She then looked to the others. "I already have some interpretation of the prophecy. But I believe it'd be better if your friend told you. I'm sure she's been seeing much more of this in her dreams than I have." Theresa turned her gaze back towards Maddy.

Tommy swiveled his body towards Maddy with small interest. His previous excitement was being whittled down because of the 'sitting' part of this. He wanted Action! but for now, this would do. Information is knowledge. And Knowledge is very important for the later on stuff.

Adam stood, crossing his arms. He didn't bother saying anything, rather, turning to Maddy expectantly.

Ginji looked up at Maddy as she walked away and turned back. "Please?" he asked kindly. "For me?" he wanted to know more about Maddy, that meant the good and the bad. Of course he could see her aura, of course he could feel her darkness, but he kept hoping fate was not set in stone.

Sammy turned her head slightly so that it was angled towards Maddy. "It would seem appropriate to assume that you have now become the focus of the conversation," she stated quite robotically, although a slightest hint of a snickering smile could be seen flickering across her face before fading into non-existance.

"I'm... not saying anything..." Maddy said, keeping her back turned to everyone. Her voice was shaky.
Theresa sighed. "Fine. If you refuse to allow your friends the knowledge you have gained from those interesting dreams of yours, you will only lead them to darkness. It is not my place to tell them. All I really believe I should say is that there will be 17 dark beings arriving soon. And I also believe Team Aqua is the pure snow of the prophecy, the ones of pure hearts who shall vanquish those evil beings." With that, Theresa vanished into the darkness, gone from the island.

"Well isn't that just Fan-freakin'-tastic." Adam called out after her, sighing as he looked down at Sammy. "How've you been?" He asked, trying to change the subject he knew would come up before it did.

Sammy watched curiously as Theresa disappeared. "I would very much like to learn how to do that," she commented blandly before turning to Adam. "I'm just fine," she stated, a slight hiss in her tone. She had evidently turned into an anti-people person. "... And you?" she asked grudgingly.
