Lost In Time (Druig)

Chapter 28: Genesis

(The origin/ creation of something)

When I open my eyes, I feel myself kind of flying in an unknown atmosphere. It's dark, almost cold, and weightless. Even tho my body doesn't feel the same anymore because of this moment I was about to experience, I immediately recognized myself being in space.

I want to freak out. I kinda did already, because I thought I can't breathe without any suit or something like astronauts have, but I know I am probably an Eternal, and I came here for a reason.

It's weird. I don't remember me getting to this point at all, because it's really far away from where the Domo is. It wasn't suppose to go so fast, right?

However, I remember what happened before, and where the others are at this point. I remember Phastos activate something inside of me, that turned out to be a Sphere, which brought me here in the first place. That's why Phastos called it a Celestial Communication Sphere.

Except, the empty void atmosphere with bright stars which is called space, isn't the only thing I see, which explains the Sphere Phastos told me about.

I am somehow met with six red glowing eyes who's directly staring at me, as his gigantic metal body flies in space, surrounded by meteorites or space rocks, not having any trouble with the oxygen problem just like me.

His enormous body, which looks like a god in space, does freak me out like crazy, and my breathing increased when I stared at him, as he's sort of holding me in his big hand because of his size.

Despite this gigantic metal god staring at me, I know this is the moment I have waited for as long as I can remember when everything went wrong in the Amazon.

I never thought Arishem the Judge maybe has all of the answers for me instead of the Eternals, as he did create them in the first place.

As I am still processing this moment, giving me a hard time I'll have to be honest, I can't believe it's just me now, him, and probably the genesis of it all. And yet, I know I probably don't need to be afraid of him, even if I can't avoid it a little.

"Arishem." I said, while I heard my voice echoing because of this empty void I am in together with him.

My body stumbled a little when I heard his body move in space suddenly, making the sound of metal clashing. He knows I am right in front of him.

"Chloe, it has been a long time since we spoke to each other, but I did see you have found the Eternals. So, it's time to let you remember everything you have probably forgotten." Arishem said, making his six eyes flickering red whenever he speaks up, and just like my voice, it echoes like crazy in space. It gave me goosebumps right away.

However, his appareance isn't the only thing that frightens me, because his words are sinking quickly enough into my head as I repeat them for myself. What did he just say?!

I have never felt so nervous before, even if I told myself not to. It's the way Arishem said it so simply, feeling there's so much more I don't remember after all.

Despite not even knowing the cause of it, it caused even more questions than the ones already flowing inside of my head.

"I don't know what's happening. I didn't find the Eternals on purpose, but so much have happened since the Deviant attack in the Amazon. I thought I was.." I stumbled my words, trying to find an explanation for myself and him, but my heart only lumped into my throat because of Arishem's interruption, and it's the moment I know I need to be reasonable with him.

"They were eventually going to find you because cause and effect are connected this way. Before I'm going to explain your story, I want to start from the very beginning, to let you remember why we exist." Arishem started saying as I listened carefully, while we both still stare at each other in space, surrounded by nothing but stars.
