Lost In Time (Druig)

Chapter 20: Farewell, For Now

I'm taking a deep breath with my eyes closed, while I try to concentrate on the energy that flows inside of my body to eventually reach my hands. Just because it's now unlocked inside of me, I feel I have more control over it.

I slowly raise my hands, while I try to focus on the things I want to be fixed, and that is the rebuild of this village, destroyed yesterday because of the attack. There is at least something I can do in return of some people's lives I wasn't able to save.

I can't believe I'm doing this right now, but as the Prime Eternal said to me; I wield the power of psychokinesis, which means I can also take control of objects instead of just persons or animals, like Deviants. Just as how it accidentally happened yesterday, I have a purpose today.

Sersi and Druig are standing close to me with the villagers, who are waiting to return to their lives, as some of their homes are about to be repaired.

Even if my eyes are closed, I sometimes still hear them whispering, as they see how objects like wood or nails are probably floating in the air because of my power.

They didn't expected me to do this, as they knew me as Chloe; an ordinary young girl whom fell in love with their leader Druig, but over the last couple of days, that has changed completely.

They probably don't mind, but I can understand if they don't look at me the same way anymore. I hope I can fix that problem when I'm going with the Eternals to try to save the world, and at the same time trying to find out more about my identity.

The villagers are aware of why Druig and I need to leave for a while. Not just because of the attack that happened yesterday, but right before I tried to rebuild this village, Sersi told them everything.

The response wasn't good, but they knew there's nothing they can do about it then just wait, and live their lives as they usually do.

I would have done the same thing if I were them, but I know they have faith in us. Why else did they choose Druig to be their leader in the first place?

The rest of the Eternals have already gone back to the boats, but the two stayed in case things go wrong with me wielding this power. But as of right now, everything is going according to plan.

I slowly open my eyes, as I see the last cabin is rebuilding itself because of me, and that makes me smile and a little bit suprised. It's still hard to believe, but I guess I just have to accept all of it. On the other hand, I still need to figure out how I achieved this power.

This time my eyes aren't glowing gold as the same as Druig whenever he uses his mind control, like they surely did yesterday. I don't know the exact reason for it, because my hands do have the weird symbols like Sersi, whenever she uses her power.

I guess, it's because of the power I unlocked yesterday, or the different emotions that flooded my mind. I was angry, and sad at the same time, which made me really wanna use my powers. I think that's the case, but I'm still not sure.

"I'm going back to the others. You guys take your time to say your goodbyes, but don't make it too long." Sersi suddenly said, as I am snapped out of my thoughts, and slowly she walked away into the forest towards the river, while Druig and I watched her.

In the meantime I rebuild the village like it once stood before the attack, but I wasn't aware of the fact I am already done with it. I sighed a little, as I feel my power slowly returning to a resting place inside of me, while I lowered my hands.

However, the happiness I see on everyone's faces, makes me smile too, as I see them returning to their homes.

Most of them thanked me on their way back, and said their goodbyes or good luck, because they know after this, we would be leaving this place soon. And ofcourse, they did the same to Druig.
