Shulk grimaced; he shouldn't have expected Rin to be talked down after that scene in the village. He didn't want to go prodding a sleeping dragon, but if he didn't go, then there was a good chance Rin wouldn't survive the encounter. Then again, Shulk knew his presence wasn't going to increase their odds of survival by much. "Fine, but you're going to apologize to the gorons when we get back." He sounded stern, like one would be with a child.
To say that the journey was difficult would be a massive understatement; extreme heat, treacherous drops, and deadly lava met the Shulk and Rin every step of the way. Rin, annoyingly enough, didn't seem bothered at all by his environment while Shulk struggled to keep up. Once or twice, Shulk remembered Omni's words about Omnilium and thought of his desire to have heat-proof clothes, but nothing came of it. He'd tried squeezing the rainbow-colored sphere, rubbing it, shaking it, but still nothing. He was so exhausted that by the time Rin found an all too convenient path, Shulk didn't have the energy to be bemoan their wasted efforts up until that point.
There wasn't much conversation along the way, perhaps Rin thought it for Shulk to focus on walking. His question didn't quite register at first, but when Shulk started to respond, there was a sharp ringing in his ear while the color of the world turned dull. Everything was silent, and then he saw it.
Shulk could see himself, actually see himself. They were somewhere surrounded by rocks, full of lava, with holes leading into the molten pool all around a charred area. The scene faded, and returned, this time Rin was in the middle of the hole filled field, his voice broke the silence; "Oi! Wake up!"
There was a roar, a deafening, bestial roar that made the hairs on Shulk's neck stand up and his blood run cold. A terrible serpent burst out from one of the holes behind Rin. It lunged just as the scene faded, and Shulk was left with Rin's screams.
Shulk's sight returned to normal, everything was like it was seconds before he had that strange vision. It all happened so quickly that the Homs wasn't even sure if he'd actually experienced it. There was no denying what it was, however: the distant future. His skin paled, and Shulk looked like he'd seen a ghost. If that's the future...then Rin...!
"Rin, we need to turn back," Shulk said, quickly approaching Rin and grabbing his arm. He didn't know what to tell Rin at first, who would believe someone that claimed to see the future? "Something terrible is going to happen if you wake up Volvagia, I know it!" He bit his lip and his eye would occasionally dart away, "don't ask me how I know. I just... know."
