Lost In Time (Druig)

Chapter 49: Judgement Day

(A little easter egg in this chapter. Hopefully you can spot it! :p)

With the sudden speed of the Domo, we are definitely far way from Earth as we speak, flying through the cosmos, as I stare towards the stars in space.

It feels like we just arrived here, and leaving Ajak's former homestead to say goodbye to Phastos. The inventor has definitely upgraded the spaceship, making us able to control it's speed.

The only place to look towards this empty black void called space, is the room with Arishem's statue, where we can also summon our suits.

I'll have to be honest, I am desperately wanting some rest after what we've gone through, as we're almost hopping from one mission to another. But I guess that has to wait.

In the meantime, Thena and Makkari are already in Phastos' lab, as they're trying to find other Eternals.

But it's also important to still be connected with the others, as we are not with them anymore. We have been away for like an hour or two now, so it isn't necessary yet to contact the others.

When we left, I told them my idea in finding other Eternals, as Phastos' faith in me kind of gave me this idea.

We can scatter around space ofcourse, trying to find other planets, searching for a source of Eternals because of Phastos' technology in the lab, but I'll guess it's best to locate the World Forge first.

I know for certain this place is somewhere in space because of my chat with Arishem a few weeks ago. I'll guess if I can find this place, restore our memories somehow from the Wall of Memories, we could get a lead to help us further.

But as of right now, I am snapped out of my thoughts, as I suddenly feel Druig's presence behind me, while he slowly lays his arms over my shoulders, hugging me from behind.

As a reponse, I grabbed his arms to hold him tight, to let him know we should stay like this forever.

Druig sighed a little, making my heart beat faster in an instant, because why wouldn't it? I guess he also has a way of finding peace by staring towards space, because it's so much quieter than having humans surrounding you all the time. But maybe he just wants to be with me, as I am here at the perfect moment.

"I saw how you were with Jack. It's almost making me wanna have children of my own." He suddenly said, making my heart skip a beat as I turned around immediately, making him stumble in his position.

"What?" I asked him confusingly with my eyes wide open, as he does the same, but he immediately laughed like it's nothing.

Did I just hear this right? I have never heard him say this. Let alone talk about it with me, or the other way around, so why the sudden idea?

"You heard me." He said serious, making me still in shock, as I need time to process this. We're just staring at each other for a moment, thinking about each other's response, even tho I can't find an answer to his statement.

"You know we can't have children Druig." I said shaking my head, as I slowly made my way towards Phastos' lab through the dark hallways of the Domo. Ofcourse Druig followed after me, making our way back to Thena and Makkari.

To be honest, somewhere in the future, I want to have children, but as of right now, I am completely focused on our current mission.

And besides, in the back of my head I know we are not humans, which makes it difficult for us to have children in the first place. There's always an option like Phastos and Ben did with Jack.

"Why not?" Druig asked me confused, almost running after me like he wants an answer right now, but that only made me sigh in frustration. I don't know if he's dumb, or he isn't understanding what we are exactly.
