A Crumbling Society

Part 3-32

"Good, then you know what you did wrong"

"But what does that have to do with this place? And I still don't know who you are", I continued to question.

"I already told you; you know who I am", he repeated himself once more remaining calm.

"Only I don't, you don't look familiar, and I'm more so interested in what this place is that's why I keep asking", I tried to kind.

"I resemble all different kinds of people. That is why I do not look like anyone you would know. For I am male and female, comprised of all faces".

"Okay", I said still confused by his statement. "Then can you at least tell me what this place is finally?".

"Patience!".

"I take it we're going to talk about why I used the spell then?".

"Not completely, I know why already, but I think you also know there are consequences about using that spell", he corrected.

"It was my first time using it really, It didn't exactly work for me a long time ago when I created it. Now I know that I'm here because of using it at least".

"That does not matter, you still used it", he stayed firm, but kept the kind demeanor.

"Oh, well by first time I mean that it actually went through. It did what I wanted it to whereas it wouldn't ever do anything before".

"That's because of what the spell does".

"You mean the angels coming to earth and destroying that in which I deem evil or unworthy? Or are you talking about how my spell forced them to appear?", I debated which one would receive an answer.

"Both", he tilted his head down slightly to look at me. Continuing pacing the area before me we kept the conversation going. "You know that level of magical power is forbidden in your condition. And forcing angels into your world is beyond selfish, it could cause larger problems".

I can start to see where he's coming from, "you're right", I said. Shying away from him a little I felt a bit embarrassed.

"You also know better than to use magic that has the power of sacrifice, or in your case- "

"I know, I know", I cut him off.

"Then we will move on to why you are you in this place specifically", he finally reached the topic I wanted to know more about. "This place is a place where time and space do not exist. It is neither Earth nor Valsyri and can only be because I allow it to be".

"Oh?", I said with interest, this wasn't at all what I thought it might be. "Are you some kind of magic being that oversees the use of all magic?".

"Not even the stars have seen this place, and you are only one of very little to be present here, and no, I'm not".

This kept me hooked, I had never heard of such a place. None of the Valyrian lore spoke of this either, it sort of explains it but remains vague. It's also making me question what he is then.

"You are here simply here because I wanted you here".

"For what?", I asked.

"It is not your time!", he stated softly while stopping and looking back at me. A gentle look was on his face as his eyes looked into mine.

"What does that mean?", I asked more confused.

"You know what that means", and he kept the same look.

"I don't think I do", I gave back. "What's not my time, to be the only hero left? Do you mean to not kill all the villains or not my time to use this spell?"
