"My lady, do you have any idea where this path leads?"
All the gods around tried to understand what was going on when they saw the tense expression on Jas' face, it seed to them that Jas knew sothing or was genuinely curious in a really big way.
"That's the way to my temple, Jas," Nyx replied, and Jas swallowed, averting his eyes from Nyx.
"May I speak with you and Master Moros, please? In private."
As soon as Jas uttered these words, Nyx gave an order to all the gods to leave with his hand and only Nyx and Moros himself remained in the area, the two higher beings looking at Jas and wondering what was going on.
"Is sothing wrong, Jas?" Moros asked suddenly, seeming to be getting worried.
Jas, upon hearing this question, said the following words.
"I'm not sure, but it has sothing to do with the Philosopher's Stone..."
As Jas uttered these words, both Nyx and Moros looked at each other, and then Moros turned to Jas and asked, "Did you see the future?"
Hearing this, Jas asked, as if he didn't know, "According to the Philosopher's Stone, yes, but I don't know what's going on, can I see the temple?"
The two holy beings nodded as they heard those words, Nyx grabbed Jas' arm and in just two seconds the trio appeared in front of the temple.
Jas was looking around. The Philosopher's Stone had shown him the torture chamber, but it had been entered incredibly quickly, so Jas had seen very little of the path.
He had seen so little that it could only be called a recollection.
Incredibly colourful flowers had withered in the future Jas saw, trees had lost their leaves and so trees had even been cut down.
As he walked towards the temple, he saw that everything was spotlessly clean, and then he pushed the doors of the temple and went inside.
Inside the temple was a huge statue of Nyx, and when Jas saw the statue, the worry in his heart suddenly seed to disappear.
"Have I ever told you how beautiful you are, Lady Nyx?" Jas suddenly said, even though Nyx was standing next to him in the flesh, he was so excited that he had never opened his mouth about it until now.
Nyx smiled when she heard those words and hugged Jas, kissing him on the forehead as a thank you.
Jas looked around, it was clear that what he was seeing was not a torture chamber, what he was seeing were Chaos-Born imprisoned and even killed in front of the destroyed statue of Nyx.
"Now, I must tell you what happened---"
Jas was about to get to the point when suddenly another figure entered the temple, Jas looked at the clothes of the intruder and suddenly realised who it was.
"Don't even think about telling what happened kid."
The person who had entered was Chronos himself and he was looking at Jas in a very angry manner.
"Chronos?" Chronos didn't even pay him any mind when Nyx said the old man's na in surprise, he just walked over to Jas and then said, "What the hell do you think you're doing trying to tell them about your possible future self?"
Nyx and Moros seed to be trying to figure out what was going on, and Nyx suddenly realised what was going on as she stroked her forehead with her hand and said, "You were going to break the tiline."
Moros shook his head at his mother's words and said, "Jas, you can't do that unless it's the gods of fate or ti itself," and it was clear that Moros understood what was going on.
Jas glanced at the trio with a puzzled look and waved his hands as if he didn't understand what was going on.
Chronos seed very disappointed that the boy in front of him was so clever and yet so stupid.
"Look, young man, I will explain it to you as simply as possible. Ti is a line, every action you take moves along this line, in your world people call this pure fate. There are two ways out of this mystical phenonon, one is to know your destiny and tell other people about it, and the other is to know the future and tell people about it."
When Chronos said these words, Jas held himself for a few seconds and then asked, "So, should I just keep what I know? Does ti work the sa in our world or is this sothing special to this idiot tower?"
Chronos shook his head and said, "Yes, it is indeed sothing special to the tower. Look, young man, it is dangerous to play with ti, it is dangerous to play with destiny, that is why Moros and the Moirai are so powerful. Even they can't make major changes to the concept of destiny, but a slug on the tenth floor can't do anything."
Jas didn't understand anything, he sat on the floor of the temple and then took a deep breath and let it out, he still had a lot of confusion in his mind, the fact that he didn't have a clear idea of what was going on was what scared him.
"So I'm just going to wait? I'm just supposed to accept the possible future?" he suddenly asked.
A mistake Jas almost made may have been the precursor to the realisation of that future. The fact that Chronos had stopped him in his tracks had indeed been a bigger help than he had expected.
Jas had never felt so stupid in his life, and even though he didn't really understand what was going on, he could tell by the expressions on Nyx and Moros' faces that he had almost screwed up.
Chronos' answer was sothing that made him think a lot, but it was quite true:
"Kid, you can pass the ti but rember you will never be able to stop it, you do not have the power, even I don't and I am practically the ti itself."
