Chapter 128 - The Ark Of The Common Village (2/2)

”It's like being Royal as well...”

”Well, it's the same thing for us Time Mages. Our day is a normal person's month or even years. We run through time, meeting new friends, seeing new sights. But soon, we won't feel stressed, we would feel sad. Heartbroken,” explained Raiyen, gazing at the night sky.

”Then why do you continue?”

”If I told you that I'm suffering now because of my Time Element, would you take it away from me?”

As she wanted to reply, Raiyen shot a fierce look at the girl.

”The cost would be that I would've never been born,” finished Raiyen.

Nova looked down.

”Why? You'd just live a normal human life. A bit boring, but it would be better than suffering like this,” explained Nova, tilting her head.

”You would assume that I would live a normal life without Time Element?”

”What do you mean?”

”Time Mages aren't made by handing over knowledge of the element, unlike the normal path. We are born out of time. Time Mages are also called the Children of Time. Quite literally, in fact.”

”I will not question why,” sighed Nova, standing up.

”You took it in faster than expected.”

”Well, I'm a princess from the future, talking to Time Mage and having Memory powers. Somehow, that explanation doesn't seem too perplexing compared to the other things I've learned today.”

”Shall we head to the future then?” asked Raiyen, putting on his hood.

As they slowly made their way towards the Old Chapel, the Giants were back from their chore.

”Mav!” yelled the Time Boy.

”Thought you've popped back to the Time Portals,” said Mavislin, smiling.

”We are about to,” replied Nova, catching up.

”Well, you can do the Hopping in your room. The 'you' now is out on a mission, so you were lucky. Try aiming for a time in which you are not around this area, that would reduce the signs of Time Poisoning,” explained Mavislin, leading them to the Founders' bedrooms.
