Andromeda was the Oracle of the Nonpareilus race.
While she didn't have any official political power, her guidance over the years to both her own race and others had made her respected by many of the universe's more powerful individuals.
The majority of her guidance came from both the prophecies and the visions she was capable of having.
Prophecies were a foretelling of what was to come; unfortunately, she never actually saw anything and only prophesied the future through words she received at that moment, such as the one Tephe had in her original timeline on the day of her birth.
Visions, however, were different. These mainly came when she was asleep and as dreams, though if the vision was strong enough, she could receive a prophecy upon waking up, though this was rare.
Visions didn't predict what was to come, but showed the most important events that were happening at that point in time in different parts of the universe.
Recently, however, although Andromeda had still been having the same number of visions, she always had the same dream right before she awoke each morning.
She dreamt the same dream where she wakes up naked next to that unknown man with an ache in her lower parts and blood-stained sheets before he wraps his arms around her and says, "Good morning, Romy, I hope you slept well."
She believed that it was just a dream because visions didn't show the future and only the present, and she knew that she wasn't really waking up with him because she always awoke after he spoke to her, and she always found herself alone in her bed with her sheets white and pristine and with no blood stain.
This time, however, things didn't go as they normally did.
After having some visions about the important events that were happening in the universe, her dream began as it always did, with her waking up next to the man and feeling the ache in her lower body before noticing the blood-stained sheets.
The man awoke a moment later, he sat up and wrapped his arms around her, but this was the point when her dream changed.
As she was expecting him to speak the words that she was starting to enjoy and looked forward to hearing each night before she slept, the words suddenly changed.
"Romy, you mustn't awaken yet.
You must have a vision and see what is happening to Tessa and her family.
I have already ensured her survival in this timeline by travelling with Tephe into the past to save the Phoenix race.
Now you must support the new Terran Emperor so that he can regain the trust of his people and the other races.
He will have the support of his mother and sister, but that will not be enough, for he is still young and the leaders of the other races wont respect him.
You need to validate the truthfulness of what you're about to see and give your backing to the new emperor."
As his words came to an end, Andromeda's vision blurred before she found herself looking down on an opulent bedchamber that had a beautiful woman with long black hair lying naked on the bed, while another woman, who was also naked, had her head between the first lady's legs and was licking her out.
This was often how Andromeda had her visions. It was as if she were a ghost that no one could see, yet she could see everything that happened and hear everything that was said. However, this time she wasn't alone as she witnessed the vision, for she could still feel the unknown man's arms wrapped around her.
"Ohhhh yeah, just there, mmmmmm so good," The woman with long black hair, whom Andromeda recognised as the Terran Empress Victoria, said while moaning in pleasure.
"WHA! What is Empress Victoria doing?" Andromeda asked in shock at what she was witnessing before feeling her cheeks heat up.
"Something you will learn to enjoy very much in the future, but right now that's not important, keep watching." The man whispered in Andremeda's ear, making her shiver.
Andromeda tried to focus; however, she found it hard because the combination of the unknown man's whisper and the scene that she was witnessing made her lower body react in a way she had never felt before, and for some strange reason, she was getting the urge to touch her lower body part that was itching.
As Andromeda tried to focus, all the lights in the bedchamber suddenly went out and plunged it into darkness; however, Andromeda remained unaffected and was able to see everything perfectly.
"What!" Victoria said in surprise as the sudden darkness put her on high alert and shook off her lust.
"What's happening, empress?" The other naked woman asked.
"I'm not sure, but I don't like it. Get dressed quickly, and let's go investigate.
Both women quickly got off the bed and started to get dressed; however, when they had only managed to get their underwear on, the door to the bedchamber burst open, and Andromeda saw an individual wearing combat gear with nightvision goggles and wielding a blaster appear in the doorway.
Victoria's instincts kicked in as she quickly dived behind the bed while the intruder pointed his blaster at the other woman and pulled the trigger, causing the woman's head to vanish as a red flash appeared before her lifeless body dropped to the floor.
"Fuck, wrong one," The intruder cursed quietly before they quietly snuck into the room while searching for Victoria.
Victoria was trained by the Ororis family and wasn't a weak woman who needed a man to come rescue her every time she got in trouble.
She had long ago hidden a blaster within a hidden compartment on the side of the bed, and as she quietly opened the compartment and pulled out the blaster, she lay down on the floor and looked under the bed while trying to make out where the intruder could be.
After a few seconds, the moon emerged from behind a cloud and shone a ray of moonlight into the room, illuminating the intruder enough for Victoria to make them out.
She aimed the blaster under the bed at the intruder's feet before pulling the trigger. One of the intruder's feet was blown off as a flash of red light was seen, causing the intruder to scream in pain and collapse to the floor as blood gushed out.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."
Victoria ignored the scream and aimed the blaster at the intruder's heart before once again pulling the trigger, causing a fist-sized hole to appear in the intruder's chest with a flash of red light, killing them and causing even more blood to gush out all over the floor of the bedchamber.
"What the fuck is going on?" Victoria whispered after she carefully peeked over the top of the bed to make sure the room was clear.
She got up and quickly finished dressing before she walked over to the dead intruder and removed their nightvision goggles, which she quickly put on before inspecting the intruder.
"A Catonian?" Victoria asked in surprise as she noticed the cat-like ears on the intruder's head before saying, "Why would the Catonians attempt to assassinate me?"
As she was wondering why the Catonians were here and what their motive could be, she suddenly had a bad feeling before dashing towards the door while cursing, "Steven, Fuck."
Andromeda's vision blurred again before she looked down on a different scene.
This time, it was an impressive-looking office and sitting behind the desk was a man whom Andromeda recognised as Emperor Daniel Terrana.
"What's going on?" Daniel asked as he stood up and looked around after the lights went out.
"Is Emperor Daniel Terrana about to die then? You mentioned before 'the new Terran Emperor'." Andromeda asked as she watched Daniel walk around the desk and towards the office door while fumbling in the dark.
"That's correct." The unknown man whispered into her ear.
Andromeda knew better than to try to prevent what was about to happen; her powers of vision only allowed her to witness what was happening at that point in time, and she had no way to speak to or warn whoever she was observing.
Andromeda watched as Daniel reached the door, and just as he reached for the door handle, the door burst open inwards, hitting him in the face and causing him to crash backwards onto the floor.
The intruder froze in surprise as he saw Emperor Daniel collapsed on the floor, holding his face through his night vision goggles, before he laughed and raised his blaster while saying, "Too easy."
The intruder pulled the trigger, and along with a red flash, half of Daniel's head vanished, causing blood to spurt out of what remained of his head like a fountain before he slumped to the floor dead.
The intruder pulled out his cellphone-like communicator before sending a message in a group, then turned around and left.
[[Target Alpha Eliminated]]
"Not exactly the heroic death that Terran emperors of old achieved." The unknown man whispered into Andromeda's ear as her vision blurred and changed again.
This time, when her vision returned to normal, she found herself observing a fight that was going on between one of the intruders who wore combat clothing and nightvision goggles and an individual who wore all dark clothing except for their eyes.
Andromeda also noticed a young teenage boy crouching in the corner behind a sofa, who was observing the fight with a fearful expression.
