Lost In Time (Druig)

Chapter 27: Murphy's Law

(An observation; anything that can go wrong, will go wrong)

While the rest of the Eternals lost their focus on the gathering as they parted ways, Makkari, Phastos, Thena and I still have our gaze onto the golden Uni-Mind, floating in the air.

So by that means, Druig and Sersi have totally lost their focus in the room, and Sprite, Ikaris, and Kingo all left the room. Even his valet Karun didn't walk after Kingo because of his outburst.

I don't care about their bitching really. I just want the goal to be fullfilled, as we only have a few days left until the Emergence probably. I am not really sure, I might need to ask Sersi about it.

However, it didn't stop me from stepping a little closer to focus myself onto the Uni-Mind. In the meantime, I am giving back the tablet to Makkari, who is happy to receive the collectible back. It feels like I can focus more then.

"I can't believe it." Phastos scoffed irritated, as he's still recovering from this discussion with his fellow Eternals. However, I do want Phastos' help in a kind of way, speaking of the devil.

"Phastos," I started to say, looking towards the inventor as he immediately turned to me in curiosity, "Can you show me Arishem again?" I asked him carefully as our gaze met.

He surely looks confused at me, because he's not sure on what I am planning, but I luckily don't need to say it twice, as he already moved his hands to create the statue again.

"Sure," He replied easily, and that's when the statue of the Celestial is created instead of the Uni-Mind in the middle of the lab.

It's the same creation he just showed us, but even if I want to think very hard about this picture of the Celestial, sadly nothing comes to mind.

"What did you want to see by Phastos showing him to you?" Makkari suddenly asked me, as she stepped beside me in curiosity. Instead of me, she is now holding the Emerald tablet close to her.

I guess my question sparked everyone's interest. However, with the ones who are still paying attention.

"Does he seems familiar to you?" Thena asked me carefully as she joined our conversation, making her walking towards us instead of staying beside her own statue.

But it's almost if Thena can read my mind, even if Druig only can do that.

"No, he doesn't, but it's exactly what I was planning on doing." I said to her, while Thena nodded a little in agreement. I am making sure I explained myself on where I was going with this.

I just wanted to see Arishem for myself, because if I'm really an Eternal, I better have some elements to rely on to remember it all again.

That's probably the first step I need to take to get a little closer to the truth, besides Phastos, who's going to help me eventually. However, even with this outburst, I am not so sure how long it's going to take.

"Well, we do have another statue of him." Thena suddenly said, which made my heart lump into my throat, looking at her with my eyes wide open. My curiosity is definitely here, and it's showing.

"Where?"

After a while, luckily all the Eternals are calmed down a bit after the discussion, as they have made their way back to Phastos' lab again.

But this time, Phastos wasn't planning on resuming with the plan so easily, as he is already putting so much effort in all of them.

Instead, he finally walked with me towards another room inside the Domo, where we decided to do our little research on me as we agreed on.
