Chapter 209: Moving On
Apparently, we had taken too long getting back to Gerin. At least, that was the popular consensus. “Come on, John! Everyone’s waiting.” Thalia called out with a laugh, wearing a sparkling green dress as she walked in front of me. After we had arrived, they called us down to talk, everyone wanting to thank and congratulate us for defeating the empire.
From what was discussed, they had long since planned a festival in our honor, but were simply waiting for us to return to kick it off. However… I really didn’t seem to be in the mood for such a festival. I was happy, yes, but there was something else. As I looked around, and saw everyone celebrating, the Eye of Time was constantly activating. I saw the lives and deaths of countless people time and again.
I was reminded with every face I saw that none of this was going to last. Soon, we were going to ascend or whatever, and they would all start their lives over as if none of this had happened. Yes, this timeline would be archived like all the rest, but just how many times will they relive the same life before it’s all over?
| We’re working on that.
