As the violet girl, Aurea apparently, introduced herself and the red guy Arro, he head Cassian's back-handed comment to him, and saw the look Cassian gave him out of the back of his eyes. Naturally, this didn't exactly endear him to Ciarán.

''Really? You attacked me out of nowhere, and you're giving ME dirty looks?''

"Well, now that we all know each other, might I suggest we get out of the open?", he asked as he the lead the group toward a nearby rooftop where they wouldn't draw as much attention.

"So, we know that we got these rings that are more powerful than we can imagine, but I think it's safe to say that it's no coincidence that all the rings going to people at the same school is no coincidence.  I don't know about the rest of you, but my ring has been pretty aloof with me, not telling me anything definite and just showing me random flashes every now and then since I put it on.  My idea though is that if I try to meditate and focus on these images, they can be a little clearer."

Ciarán then backed up a little from the rest of the group, and sat down with his legs crossed, and his hands resting on his knees. Without realizing it, he started to levitate a few feet off the ground for the meditation. He put all of his conscious effort into whatever secrets where hidden away in this ring, and a few minutes later, he began to see more images. These were clearer than the images he'd seen when he first put on the ring, though they were still unclear and without context.

He saw a city on a coastline, but this was not any city on Remnant. But if so, why were there humans? And noticeably, no Faunus... Did this mean that humans were actually alien to Remnant, and that Faunus were its natural species? Unfortunately, he had no time to ponder this revelation, as the next image showed the same city, but totally destroyed. The devastation was incredible, but he had no more time to ponder this as the scene changed again. This time, he saw a brown-haired human, a Green Lantern wearing a domino mask, who was... Killing his fellow Green Lanterns and stealing their rings? Rather brutally, as well. Ciarán didn't understand the point of this image, but it did confirm what he talked about with Tanner earlier: There were indeed other Green Lanterns, and likely there were more of the other colors as well. The final set of images showed that this human was being possessed when he killed those Lanterns... By the yellow insect he'd seen earlier. He got one final, good look at it, and saw that in its mouth, was a pattern that matched the insignia on his ring. The image was silent, but from somewhere inside him, he KNEW the name of this entity... Parallax. He still didn't know what it was, or where it come from, or what it wanted, but he knew the name with no doubt. After this final image, he opened his eyes as he suddenly came out of his meditative trance, and fell from where he was floating.

Ciarán didn't notice, but while he was seeing these images, he was breaking out in a cold sweat, and his face had been twitching and shaking as the images became more and more brutal. As he was on all fours on the rooftop, he felt... Weak wasn't the right word, he felt drained... He actually thought he might be dead for a moment.

But, when he looked up from where he had fallen, the first face he saw was Inari, and Ciarán did muster up a weak smile. "Well if this is Heaven, looks good so far..."
