Lost In Time (Druig)

Chapter 30: The Inevitability Of Chaos

POV; Chloe, whom remembers herself being an Eternal, created by Arishem as the Supreme Leader of the Eternals.

Mesopotamia, 5000 B.C.

Earth. It's a beautiful planet somewhere in the cosmos, inhabited with these species called humans. However, I know it can be even more beautiful as it is now, but with the help of the Eternals, there is no doubt it's going to work.

Humans need yet to evolve themselves for Arishem's grand design, as Ajak and I are the only Eternals who knows about this purpose.

In the end, when this planet has evolved itself enough, Celestial Tiamut the Communicator can emerge from it, so that new planets and galaxies can be formed.

It's a risk Arishem took, if I'm honest, by not telling the Eternals about their true mission, but he did it anyway.

And not just to this group, but to so many other Eternals out there in the cosmos right now, helping Arishem the Celestials emerge. Besides that, he already did it once to this group on other planets, as they can't remember their true purpose anymore.

Because of Ajak, they know they have to eliminate the Deviants that have come to this planet as predators, as the Eternals save the humans from them.

They were created by Arishem the Judge himself, so it doesn't really make sense if the Eternals are also created by him, in order to kill the predators.

In the end, they're actually murderers, because they live on, even on other planets for other Celestials to emerge. It's a kind of cause and effect, but it's how Arishem sees the creation of it all, and continues it like it's suppose to.

As Ajak and I are the only ones who knows about the true mission, the Prime Eternal and the Supreme Leader, we only met each other once when we got the Sphere transported inside our bodies, as we were standing in front of Arishem, while he explained our true mission.

The Sphere is the only form of communication I can have with Arishem to keep him updated, just like Ajak can do, but it's mostly the Prime Eternal's task to inform him of certain changes. However, if she still needs advice she can't ask him, she can come to me.

The Eternals don't know about my existence, as they have for millions of years on other planets. I was always the one who stood close by, watching them carefully as I do now, which makes me capable of learning from them, while they can never learn from me. I don't know if it's a sad thing to be honest, but it's the way Arishem created me, and I have to stick to his plan.

The Eternals got their powers from the Domo when they arrived here. The cosmic energy that flows through their bodies, comes from the energy that also creates their suits. Arishem told me there's also a place for me inside the Domo, even if I won't be ever able to come that close to the Eternals.

I got my suit with my headpiece from him, just like my powers, as I was sent to this place on the planet where the Eternals are supposed to be.

Because just like the beginning of evolution here on Earth for the humans, my mission has started.

I don't really know what will happen if they find out about my existence. It has never happened before on other planets, so why bother now?

I guess I will be in big trouble with Arishem, because then I have something to explain, so I really want to do a good job. But as of right now, I'm already doing that, as I am watching them from afar.

The Eternals are standing lined up in a small village in Mesopotamia at the end of a cliff, after eliminating the first Deviants, while the first humans of this planet come to terms with the sudden arrival of these new superheroes.
