It was the lack of noise I noticed first. Then Maise’s silence.
Everyone and everything was still. Morgana with a raised up and open mouth. She was beautiful, and seeing her cald my rising alarm. It was not the most flattering mont to stop for her with her tongue poking out and her eye awkwardly looking to the side.
The Kings of Gelts were frozen still too as was everyone else in the Great Hall.
Reality had co crashing to a halt; Ti (and so space) had stopped.
I blinked and then I saw .
My head swam and I swayed looking at his aura. I almost threw up. In terms of sheer magical aura, he dwarfed . It was like comparing Jupiter to a pebble.
It wasn’t the from right now.
He looked older for one, I had let myself look older at so point in the future. More like I was in my thirties - I almost looked like my father. I also had white hair, but it was purely costic. It was my alien, entirely blue eyes that weirded out.
He wore blue robes and a pointy wizard’s, both glead with bright stars. The effect was so realistic his clothes looked like they contained a galaxy. He carried a different staff to mine -
He waved, "Greetings !"
I dipped my head to the side over my shoulders and stared at future- with screwed eyes, "Hello?" I croaked.
He picked up my hand and shook it.
"Don’t you look crushed and dead inside."
He spotted Morgana, "Dearest." He kissed her on the cheek. "You are looking well."
Morgana was still, stuck and ti and still looking slightly silly.
He caressed her cheek, "I hoped I would miss you. I do. I didn’t know you would be here to tempt , my love."
He spoke with such sincere tenderness and care I envied him.
He looked at . "You won’t know I am here. Take care of them, okay. I know you will."
He broke off his strange conversation with her. He looked around spinning and spinning.
"Is this the Great Hall of Elkilbour?" He asked with far too much surprise. He was so expressive. Hardly like at all.
"Yes."
"Have you built a city yet?"
"Soon hopefully I just got the legal right and agreent for it." I explained.
His lips folded inside his mouth which bulged out his eyes like they were frogs eyes, "I may be a bit early then." He shrugged and his face reset to cool, if zany, confidence. "Ah well."
I wasn’t very handso was I?
"You know. I never realised how good looking younger was." He sighed. "Probably too soon for you - no wait , no let’s stick with you - to see it though."
His every word was giving a headache.
He dropped a tal enchanted triangular block into my hand.
"Add this into the city’s generator. It will protect you." He made a circle in the air with his finger. "And you all..." he rubbed his chin and then pointed down with both hands. "Well maybe not everyone here." He made a circle with both hands, "But everyone in the city who lives there most of the ti will be protected."
Did I really talk that much with my hands? Do I just not notice myself doing it?
"Wait protect from what? Isn’t ti travel dangerous, doesn’t changing the future always..."
He put a finger to my lips, "I am stopping ti travel nonsense from affecting you and your tiline. I’ve dealt with it once and for all after many, many failures by the millions of past versions of us. When you add this to the city, we will bubble ourselves out from the consequences caused by those idiots over at Zhou ssing about in their version of the warring states period."
"I don’t know what any of that ans." I admitted.
"You don’t have to. You are already under far too much pressure. Let your elder sort this one out for you."
I nodded, "Okay. Just add this in."
He nodded and gave a thumbs up, "Yep, add in the Tiy-wiy device."
"To what?"
"To the city’s foundation, it’s power generator, it is a similar principle to your power staff just on a far grander scale. You’ll do it soon enough and when you do add in the Tiy-wiy device."
"If I don’t?"
"Would you rather make a deal with Cronus, get eaten and push your way out his asshole?"
"No?"
"No, you don’t."
"Whose Cronus?"
"You really should read up next ti you’re back on earth or better yet start asking Morgana or Amy about this world."
I thrust my hands out in a stop gesture, "Wait, wait."
Older (completely different from storyteller who is currently dumping his past into an astral mory bank), raised an eyebrow.
"I get back to Earth! Who is Amy?"
He shrugged with a guilty expression plastered across his face, "Spoilers." He winked.
He clocked Maise, "Is this your first ti eting her?"
I looked at the pretty young woman and back to future-, "Yes."
"Huh, a monster is going to attack soon."
He vanished leaving with the Tiy-wiy device, so surprising lore and a vague warning. I pocketed the device in my robes and watched as reality began to start again.
"You okay?" Maise asked.
"Uh-huh." I said and nodded. "Just fine."
My eyes were peeled and roving looking for this monster. But nothing happened. Maybe future- had gotten the tis wrong?
Morgana walked over shortly after and pulled into a hug.
"We did it!" She quietly scread.
I laughed with her excitent, "We did."
She pulled out of the hall. I waved Maise goodbye and she smiled weakly back.
I was glad to finally leave the hall. I would like to say I fucked Morgana, but honestly in all her excitent she fucked . It was nice to lie on my back for once and ride the waves.
Still, no monster attacked.
