Lost In Time (Druig)

Chapter 14: Overthinking

Newtons third law; to move on, you gotta leave something behind.

It isn't as easy as the words are probably slipping out of your mouth, but it's the hard truth as I have come to know it, especially after Sersi revealed the truth about these original superheroes.

I guess we have to confront the reality nothing in our solar system can help us, not even the Avengers, but the Eternals whom came to our planet almost 7,000 years ago. On the other hand, it is noticable they're falling apart slowly, and is that really a good sign?

With their leader now gone, replaced by someone who didn't even want to be their leader in the first place, it's probably gonna take a while for them to regroup. But still, I don't Sersi very well; you can see she has a good heart, now she just has to use it.

It still isn't that sunny as it were the days before this day, you know there's trouble hidden somewhere you can't really find it, but everyone here in the village knows it's these unintented arrival of the Eternals that caused the troubling weather.

But still, the small beach close to the riverbank is still my favourite place to think about everything, even if it isn't that sunny, which is why I'm seated here right now to try to come to my senses, especially after walking away from this troubling situation as I recalled it.

Maybe desperately somewhere deep down inside I want to spend time with the mind controller here instead of being alone, but as of right now, I couldn't care less.

He fucked it up, and I feel like I got my revenge after clapping back against Druig. I was so done with him, and I did let my emotions get the best of me, which makes me blur my eyesight right now because of the tears, as my cheeks are also becoming soggier.

Not just about the fact he mind controlled me right in front of Anna, which is an important rule I didn't want him to break, but also he might be leaving me soon enough to save the world.

I feel like my world is breaking apart all at once.

Even after everything that happened, I somehow can't accept his true mission he came to this planet in the first place, and I know Druig probably feels the same way. That's why he didn't make his decision yet, as he also said he did built up a life here, not wanting to leave us as soon as possible.

Was it then actually right for me to be so angry at him just now?

I wasn't expecting anything else from him if I'm honest. If you just heard your mission was not just about saving the humans from the Deviants, after being on this planet for more than a century, but instead kind of destroying the entire planet for a Celestial to grow, I would've reacted the same.

It will form new galaxies with new planets ofcourse, creating life for others to live, but I guess it's not that simple whenever you say it; everything that was once stood, will be forgotten in just a moment, and nobody will ever realize you existed.

So what now? Is Druig ready to leave everything behind here? The life he knows for about twenty generations now he protected this village as he said it himself? He protected us from ourselves, and from the outside world, and who else is going to run this village if he's gone?

But also an important question is if I'm going with him. It's something I deep down inside of me desired for the longest of time, even before I found out I was living almost the same life as them I suppose.

It's like the Eternals had arrived at a weird moment, as they spoke out their troubling situation themselves, but also for me to hopefully help me. Only I wonder if they even have time for me as they will be busy saving the world. I haven't thought about it anymore since the accident in the conference cabin.
