Cross of the Legion: a military science fiction adventure
THE REALM OF THE DEAD

Read your own heart — then walk your own road. All I wanted was a little reassurance — a glimpse of the future. I shouldn't have asked. "I speak from the Realm of the Dead," Moontouch said. "You will abandon me, and your son, leaving us to face our enemies alone. I see a White Death, invincible, wasting mighty empires. And innocents, trusting in you, betrayed and abandoned — by you! I see an endless war, and your people exhausted, in despair. I see men without minds, killing without remorse, and children without hope, waving the flags of an evil god. I see two madmen, leaders of the forces of light and darkness, locked in a struggle to the death for the future of humanity. You will follow the one, and fight the other, and never know which god you serve. I see you ... leaving your mortal flesh, to walk among the dead..." I learned soon enough that it was all to come true — all of it.
