Lost In Time (Druig)

Chapter 36: The Emergence Point

(A place where the cosmic event, signifying the birth of a Celestial, while simultaneously destroying the planet it was created on, will take place)

After Thena's attack and healing of Mahd Wy'ry, most of the Eternals still need to process what they've seen, as they have never seen it get created in the first place.

And well, I am also still processing what I have done just now.

Sersi and Ikaris walked away from this lab after this event, as they need time for themselves, while Kingo, Karun and Sprite are seated in the room in a windowsill, quietly talking to each other.

And Phastos, he's still working on the Uni-Mind. Because even after everything that has happened so far, the end of the world doesn't take a break.

Phastos even created something that looks like a small globe of this planet in the middle of the lab, to probably work better on the Uni-Mind, or to locate the Emergence point. I guess we don't have much time left.

Thena and I are seated in the windowsill close to the flowers, while Makkari and Druig are seated on the floor opposite from us.

Luckily they can take a sort of a seat, because after this incident, I cleaned the room. So by that means, the artifacts Makkari has collected, are stored in another room, keeping them safe.

There are only some books or other stuff left, but not that much as it used to be, just like the big throne when we met Makkari.

Druig and Makkari are staring at us in silence, as I softly rub Thena's hand to calm her down. Instead of Gilgamesh, I am here now to comfort her.

I still feel guilty ofcourse. I don't know if that feeling will ever go away just like the other things I might have done over the centuries, but I'll have to let it go at some point.

"How did you even do it?" Thena asked me softly, as we suddenly looked towards each other. She has confusion written all over her face, and that's understandable.

By not even thinking about her question, I am certain what she's asking me. That's why I give her a little smile before I answer her.

"I took control of your body, as it is my powers to do so. At one point, I found the affliction, because I felt the pain when I grabbed ahold of it, and just like that, I removed it. I searched for your demons Thena. Unfortunately they were easy to find." I explained myself, and because of my explanation, she nodded to me right away.

In the corner of my eyes, I see both Druig and Makkari look down to probably think about the event they've experienced. I guess it worked out both ways.

It's Thena who wanted to apologize about the fact she attacked everyone once again, but I was the villian in this story. I should be saying sorry, and I did, but does that heal Thena's wounds eventually?

"I forgive you Chloe. It hasn't been easy. And sometimes in this life, we all need to make hard choices, even if it doesn't benefit some of us." Thena softly said, as we're both smiling at each other, making us feel good about ourselves a little.

"Thank you Thena." I said calmy, because her words are more than welcome for me. Thena has forgiven me, but I wonder if I can ever forgive myself.

However, when I wanted to keep the conversation going, I suddenly feel my heart beat faster, when I also heard the golden Sphere inside of me glowing.

I gasped at the sudden energy the Sphere is pulling me into, as I feel my chest rising a little for the others to notice. And without me even seeing the glowing golden ball above my chest properly, I only see the worried looks on Druig, Makkari and Thena their faces.
