Lost In Time (Druig)

Chapter 29: (Don't You) Remember?

I wanted to collapse, even tho I really can't because I'm in space. I almost can't feel my body anymore after supposedly hearing the truth I've waited for so long. Maybe it isn't really a long time ago, but it still feels that way.

And with everything Arishem has explained so far about the genesis of the universe and the Big Bang, it all feels so unreal to me.

There is one thing I can agree on; I'm not a human like the villagers back in the Amazon thought I was, just like Druig, and myself.

I am suppose to be the Supreme Leader of the Eternals, which makes me stand even above the Prime Eternal as Ajak was, and Sersi now is.

And not only did I think I was given the ability to move objects or humans with my mind, psychokinesis, but somehow I can also teleport to wherever I want to go, I think. Is that what Arishem is trying to tell me?

But why? Why did Arishem choose me to be a leader for the Eternals, even if they have never seen me before, as they first met me back in the Amazon?

When they first saw me with my powers, they probably thought I was an Eternal from a different planet, but even that isn't possible right, as there are million versions of me? I don't know anymore. It feels like I'm lost!

"Why did you create me like this? What was really my part in all of this? Didn't you think the Eternals were capable of eliminating the Deviants in order to let Tiamut grow? And why would you make me a leader, even for Ajak, if they've never seen me before?" I asked all at the same time, while my heart started to beat inside my throat because of this moment, not being able to respond properly.

I want so many answers from him! I know my questions are right to ask, because it is somehow all connected to each other. I want the last pieces of the puzzle, even if I have to walk a long path to finally get them.

"I have waited for these questions for a long time Chloe, but don't worry, I am going to explain you everything, letting you remember the things you have forgotten." Arishem said, as his voice echoed yet again in this empty void place. He said this before, and I know I'll just have to wait for it.

However, even if I got some answers from him, I don't know if it will spark even more questions. Still, I know my body isn't probably going to be same anymore after the explanation from him.

Despite me still processing everything Arishem just told me, I am somehow transported back in time, while I know the Celestial is still here to tell me everything like he did with the Big Bang.

It feels just like Druig brought be back in time in his memories, but this time, Arishem can't screw up the timeline, as he is stronger than the mind controller. Like, really strong. He's like a god.

When Arishem transported me back in time, I somehow see myself standing a few miles away from the big newfound city Babylon, 575 B.C, on top of a hill, surrounded by sand and rocks, while a fight is going on in front of the Ishtar Gates.

It's funny how I now see how beautiful the city actually was, as it has now changed into the place where the Domo is laying; Iraq. Despite the small markets that were in front of it, as it was probably the poor who lived there.

However, I am not only focusing on the Eternals, whom are fighting the Deviants while the monsters are trying to attack the city with it's citizens, but my heart lumped into my throat, as I finally see someone else standing here on top of this hill.

And just like last time in Tenochtitlan, I see my old me.

My old me is almost staring into the abyss with a stern look, but I know I am watching the fight from afar, while I didn't interfere like Arishem told me not too.
