Lost In Time (Druig)

Chapter 34: Heavy Lies The Crown

(Those charged with major responsibility, carry a heavy burden that makes it difficult for them to relax)

I'm sitting on the bench again in front of the statue of Arishem where it all went down the wrong path, staring towards the white fibers on the bottom where he's standing. They're probably softly flowing because of the energy from the Domo, or because of my presence somehow.

I am almost seated in the same position when Phastos scanned my body, looking for the right information to help me eventually. I don't blame him ofcourse. He wanted to help me, and I got what I wanted, even tho I wasn't expecting the outcome at all.

You might think; why do I want to go back to the one place where it went wrong, because it's a space where Arishem can directly look into my eyes, as he gives me the creeps.

Well, as of right now, I don't want to be in a room with the Eternals, and I also want to give them time to think about everything they've witnessed.

I don't really know where else to go, because Arishem told me there is a place for me here on the Domo, as I was always out of sight for them. It meant only this room probably, instead of a dorm where I can sleep or relax.

It's the truth that's hitting very hard right now. I couldn't face the Eternals all at once when I got out of my "dream", but yet I did, because the others made sure of it.

And I understand Ikaris ofcourse, as he's the most loyal of all of them perhaps. Hell, Ajak even told me she told Ikaris everything about their mission in Babylon, but that's when opinions collide, right?

It's also making me miss Ajak even more, because I now know how she really was. She was kind, loving, and caring for her fellow Eternals, knowing I was always somewhere out there looking over them.

Even with Arishem's explanation, I really don't know where Ajak had gone of to after she asked me for help, and why the rest of them found her body a few days ago.

What happened between the time when she meet up with me again and her date of death? God, it makes me shiver already thinking about the possibilty.

However, when Arishem told me everything, the memories were somehow back again, somewhere deep inside of my mind.

So as of right now, the memories are still merged together. I remember my mission again; the moment I made the difficult decision, and I remember the present me; having a home in the Amazon, together with Druig.

I guess I can say I was suppose to keep an eye on him, without remembering it.

Still, the seperate memories are collided somewhere in me. I guess that's what happens when someone resets your memories, even tho the Emergence hasn't happened yet.

And when you are now reunited with the Eternals, as it wasn't suppose to happen in the first place, you don't know which decision you should make. Stopping the Emergence, or not.

I regret the decision I have made to put Mahd Wy'ry inside of Thena's mind, because it didn't help anything. Only suffering for the goddess of war.

I guess I'm not what Arishem said I was. I might be a synthetic being, incapable of evolution, but I am just like the humans.

Because of these thoughts, I started to look up to see the platforms against the walls inside this room, surrounded by these black symbols from the World Forge, as the Domo is completely black.

I haven't made the decision yet to summon my suit, as I don't know if it will work. It has been a long time I guess.

Probably in 1521, when I stumbled across some lost Deviants in some villages, before the Fall of Tenochtitlan. I could've fight them on my own, but after the reset, I probably need some help fighting the Deviants.
