"Sup Bitch. Before you get confused, yes, I can also see you." She started explaining. Now that I get a good look at her, I think she got some metal sticking in her skin, not like wounds but more like Implants. It looks like the metal is sectioning of parts of her arm and fingers, forming different shapes, contorting around her muscles and bones. Everywhere one the implants I could see small Runes glowing with power.
"So, you can see the past?" I inquired.
"Not quite. I think it's time for an Info dump. After all, Power is Knowledge or something like that. You See our Ability, which people refer to as a Bloodline, Is quite complicated, you can't technically see the future...yet, what you're seeing is a parallel universe that is almost exactly the same, it's just that it has a different flow of time. Our Bloodline consist of two parts, the first is that you can see said universes, and if you get more powerful, potential futures.
