51 Lydia (2/2)

”So what if I can't die? That still hurts,” Garrik replied.

”Exactly what it means. I can't die,” Garrik answered.

”Can you give me proof? As far as I know, everyone can die, except maybe the gods.” Lydia was skeptical and didn't believe Garrik, but she was hoping that he would prove her wrong.

”Ughhhhh. Fine.” Garrik held his index finger up. With a quick motion, he bent his finger the wrong way, breaking it instantly. ”Fuck, that hurts!”

Lydia's eyes were wide open as she watched Garrik's broken finger heal itself, going back to its original position. ”H-how is that possible?”

Garrik smiled at her. The pain had gone away, but he still hated the feeling of his finger being broken. ”Let's just say there are a lot of things your people don't know.”

”Are you a god?” Lydia asked Garrik.

Garrik shook his head, laughing. ”No, I'm not a god, but speaking of gods. What gods do your people believe in?”

”My people only believe in three gods. That might change in the future, but they are: Giuna, Goddess of Life, Alenar, God of Order, and Phedite, Goddess of Judgement,” Lydia said. ”Why do you ask?”

”Nothing much.” Garrik looked over at Mutyx. ”Do you know them?”

Mutyx shook his head. ”I've never heard o' them.”

”Enough about gods. Can you read their future?” Tim asked.

”Yes, I can, but I just have one last question. What are the two of you?” Lydia wondered.

”I'm something called an ancient one, and Mutyx over here is a dwarf,” Garrik answered. ”What about you? What is your kind called?”

Of course, Garrik already knew as his master told him before, but he had to act like he didn't know.

”I'm a human,” Lydia answered. ”Now that we're a bit more familiar, I'll read your future. Just give me your hand.”

Garrik nodded and extended his hands out with the palms up.

”Perfect.” Lydia grabbed ahold of Garrik's hand and closed her eyes. All of her life, she had an ability that only she had. The ability to read someone's future, although she could read their future, most often or not, it's blurry. Even then, it's not 100% that the future will happen as the future is forever changing.

Lydia saw lots of things. Most of them were blurry, but she could make out most of them. In Garrik's future, he was almost always by Mutyx's side. From what Lydia could see, Garrik was good and didn't have any ill intentions, but there was only one problem. His future was way longer than everyones.

”So? Anything bad?” Tim asked.

”I see nothing bad, but I never saw him die. His future is so long that it would take years to look at all of it.”

Garrik smiled. ”Would you look at that. I am immortal.”

”O' course ye be. Ye think I'd give ye something that doesn't work?” Mutyx said.

”If it's all good, then I'll take my leave. Gotta get back to the family.” Tim left the house, walking back to his home, which wasn't far away.

”Does everyone in your race live for that long?” Lydia asked.
