Just a continuation of part one. I doubt there are any spoilers...

        "Your master is a child?" (y/n) asked. Surely this individual standing idly in this home library with a book open in one hand was not Mordred's master. The boy seemed no older nine or ten. Even those ages were pushing it.

        "That's what I said when I was summoned, but master is far more capable than you think," she answered. "Unfreeze him so we can fill him in on the situation. His face is almost always in those boring books, so maybe he knows something." Upon Mordred's request, (y/n) excluded her master from the time stop. Within seconds, the boy had pulled a gun on him, a small pocket sized one but a gun nevertheless.

        "Mordred, what did I say about bring home strange things? Do you want me to have a heart attack? I could have killed him," the boy growled once her noticed that his servant was present. Mordred only grinned as though she were innocent of any wrongdoing.

        "Can you maybe not point that at my face? I've already had other people aiming at me already today," (y/n) spoke. He wasn't necessarily surprised that the boy had pulled a gun on him, but he did wondered why he even had one to begin with.

        "You stay there," the boy ordered as he closed his book. "Mordred, who is this? Or rather...what is he? You two just got here out of nowhere and I know you can't teleport."

        Mordred narrowed her eyes at her master. "Quit whining. This is time freeze guy. He stopped time and these mages are trying to kill him because he's a threat to the world or something. He claims he's never harmed anyone though," she explained. Her master lowered his weapon after she'd spoken.

        "You forgot my name already..." (y/n) noticed. Mordred blinked a few times in an attempt to remember, but came up empty handed. "I'm (y/n). Eight years ago, I woke up in this era from a particularly long nap. I figured out the basics of how things worked in this time and I started living here, blending in with society. I'm a diety, that much I know, but..." he was speaking to Mordred's master, but the boy had stepped back from him.

        "Did you just say eight years ago? And you're a diety? That's...Mordred what the hell did you do?? Why's he here?" The boy who seemed threatening in his own way a mere moment ago was now terrified of him.

        "I didn't do anything! He just stopped a robbery and I just happened to be there. These other mages wearing those necklaces there said he had to die or the world would end. It's kind of stupid if you ask me," Mordred pointed at the necklaces in (y/n)'s hands.

        "Do you know what those are...(y/n)?" Mordred's master asked. He seemed hesitant to call him by his name too.

        "No, but they were familiar and I didn't want to leave them. Are they important? You seem to know what those other people knew. Why do you know and why do you seem like you're afraid of me? But you're human aren't you, so of course you're afraid. Humans are scared of what they don't understand...so they destroy those things," (y/n) ranted.

        "Your mind is wandering again. Not making any sense over there," Mordred commented before she slung an arm over his shoulder and ruffled his hair. "Lighten up. Master here knows just what to do to help you out."

        "No, I don't. And he's right. People destroy what they fear. They always have. My name is Waver. I'm an adult trapped in a child's body because of my experimentation with the forces of time. I think...no, I know I am the reason you woke up. Eight years ago is when I tampered with a shrine in Kyoto that was rumored to belong to a diety of time, one that nearly destroyed all of Japan. You're him aren't you? But...you don't seem like you know any of this..." Waver said. The boy's fear was slowly disappearing.
