Sowhere, flying over the continent, high in the skies of New Eden, the mountain and cave of ti where Tyr lived was currently very active.
The ti acceleration spell outside of it had just ended, and the worlds had finally reconnected after ten years of being separated. Chronos, who was still in the cave, was too busy controlling small areas of ti flow to notice his interface finally flare back to life.
Tyr was watching his student, Glad of the progress the young man had made in the last decade.
Feeling the ti spell end, Tyr knew it was ti to send Chronos back. Gaius would co knocking soon enough, and it was best if the Fey man was gone by then.
Clapping his hand together to garner his student's attention, Tyr smiled warmly.
"You have done well in the ti we were together. Sadly, my ti teaching you cos to an end. You must go back to your kind and use the powers you have gained to help in the conflict to co."
Chronos looked at the old man in confusion.
"Old man Tyr. We have only been training together for a few days. Are you sure we don't have a bit more ti?"
Tyr laughed lightly at the Fey's words.
"It has been much more than a few days. Learning to see and control the flow of ti has skewed your perception of it. But that is good. It ans you will keep learning even once I'm gone, and you return to your life."
Chronos tilted his head.
"Gone? Are you leaving sowhere?"
Chronos didn't feel like it had been long since he had entered this weird cave, and started learning with the old man. A few days at most.
But now, the old man seed to insinuate otherwise. And with the choice of words he just made, it also seed like he was resolved to leave sowhere.
"Yes. I am indeed leaving for sowhere else. But so are you. You need to go back to the surface and to your world. You have been away for a long ti, and many things have changed."
Ten years in isolation, outside of normal ti flow, had skewed a lot more than Chronos' perception of ti. His emotions seed to have run dry, and he felt like sothing was missing inside him, but couldn't say what.
"But, old man Tyr. I have been here for such a short ti. Are you sure you can't keep longer, and teach more?"
"Child. You have been here for ten years. Mind you, in your world, I believe it is closer to one week. But the world below has moved ahead of us ten years, and is now in a crisis like it hasn't seen in a very long ti."
The revelation hit Chronos like a train. Or it should have, had he been able to feel anything currently.
"Ten years? A week? I don't understand what you are saying. I know you can bend ti, but to that extent?"
"You underestimate how strong I am, child. I may seem like an old man to you, but I am much more than that. I am a god, after all. The river of ti answers my call, and does my bidding."
Chronos' head tilted the other way?
"A god? So, such existences are a thing in New Eden? Who would have thought?"
Tyr looked at the young man with a tinge of sadness.
'It seems I might have changed him forever. The powers of ti are treacherous for mortal souls. Let's hope this change will not negatively affect him.'
There was no changing what had happened now, and Tyr could only make sure the Fey man lived long enough to recover by his own ans.I think you should take a look at
"This is goodbye, Chronos. May we et again, if the rivers of ti allow it."
Waving his hand before himself, Tyr conjured a portal, before grabbing Chronos by the arm and throwing him inside. This portal led to the lands below, in a recluse part of a secure forest, where Chronos wouldn't be in imdiate danger.
Of that much, Tyr made sure. The god made sure the other gods couldn't feel his influence on the young Fey, unless they were standing directly before Chronos, buying him so ti to develop into what the world needed him to be.
After sending Chronos away, he looked upward, already feeling soone he seldom wanted to see had landed on the top of his mountain. Popping open another portal, Tyr walked through it, his eyes resolute.
Appearing on the top of the mountain, Tyr was back to his godly appearance, and he stared down at his unwanted guest.
"What do you want now, Gaius? I did what you asked. Doesn't that buy at least a century of peace?"
Gaius was floating nonchalantly before Tyr's throne, his back facing the god of ti.
"I know what you did, Tyr. I thought I had told you to get rid of the mortal."
"I just did. What are ten years with an old fool like going to do? He was fine when he left."
Gaius turned around, his empty, black eyes, stared at Tyr.
"You kept him by your side for the full duration of the ti spell. He should have been sent ho to his world. You disobeyed , again."
"It was my paynt for playing with ti at your demand. You acknowledged it as paynt. He is gone now, so the issue is closed."
Tyr walked toward his throne, wanting to sit on it. But Gaius stood in his way.
"I wanted him gone before I ca back. Yet, I arrived and could still feel him there. You failed to follow such simple instructions."
Tyr clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"You didn't warn you were coming. How was I supposed to know when to send him back? What's it to you, anyway? It is but one mortal, among many. Turn a blind eye to it, just like you turn a blind eye to what is happening down below."
Gaius' eyes squinted into what Tyr assud was the most sarcastic smile the god could pull.
"Your rebellious acts will have consequences."
Tyr was about to reply to Gaius that there was nothing he could do to him, but sothing was off. Gaius was never this calm when soone disobeyed him.
But before he could do or think about anything, his eyes flashed with a vision of a future to co. He saw Gaius pulling out sothing resembling an hourglass, and trapping him inside.
Snapping out of his vision, prepared to flee if he had to, Tyr's eyes widened in horror.
Gaius was holding in his hands an hourglass-like object, exactly like he had just seen.
"So you know. It doesn't matter, it's already too late. Thanks to the demons, I now have sothing to trap you in for eternity. Worry not, your duties will fall on the next in line with your powers. I hope you enjoy your vacation, you old fool."
Tyr felt his body already turn to sand, as he was sucked into the prison in Gaius' hand.
'I should have known you would pull sothing like this,' Tyr thought, as he disappeared into the hourglass.
