The Timeline of Ashes
The Forest Beyond Time grew quieter as the vision of Timeline One faded away.For several minutes, no one spoke until Marcus eventually broke the silence“So, let me summarize”“Please don't” Julius said immediately“Two children made a promise, fate took that personally, and we've apparently been trapped in the world's longest argument ever since”“That is surprisingly accurate” Chronos admittedMarcus folded his arms triumphantly “I knew it”Julius, however, remained focused on the path ahead.The memory of the two boys beneath the silver sapling refused to leave his mind.“No matter where you go, I'll always find you”Those words had survived three million years, thirty-six timelines and countless endings.Luna quietly walked ahead of the group, her lantern illuminating the silver path beneath their feet.“The forest wishes to show you something else”“What?” Aurelia asked“The first time you challenged fate”The atmosphere immediately changed“The first time?” Julius repeatedLuna
The Timeline
The Forest Beyond Time was silent, not the ordinary silence of an empty room or a sleeping world, but the kind of silence that existed before the birth of stars.Julius stood before the silver door, his thoughts still trapped by Luna's final words “you always choose one another”For reasons he couldn't explain, that realization filled him with both comfort and sorrow.“Are we going to keep standing here dramatically, or are we entering the terrifying forest?” Marcus finally asked.“An excellent question” Caius agreed.Luna giggled before raising her lantern “The forest has accepted Julius”“What about the rest of us?” Aurelia asked.The little girl looked at everyone thoughtfully “Normally, companions aren't allowed to enter”Marcus immediately nodded “i suddenly support the forest's decision but the Silver Tree made an exception”“The Silver Tree can do that?” Chronos asked in surpriseLuna smiled “The Silver Tree likes this timeline”“Of course it does” Marcus muttered“We're appare
The Thirty Six Endings
The revelation hung over the entrance of the Forest Beyond Time like a storm cloud refusing to pass. Thirty-seven times in thirty-seven separate lives and at thirty-seven different timelines and somehow, every single one of them had ended in failure.Marcus was the first to break the silence “No”Everyone turned toward him “No?”He pointed at Luna “I refuse to accept that we've apparently been doing this for three million years”Luna tilted her head “But you haven't”“That's somehow worse”Chronos, however, looked as though someone had shattered his understanding of reality.“Thirty-six timelines, that should be impossible “ he whispered.The little girl frowned “Why does everyone keep saying that?”“Because timelines aren't supposed to survive their destruction!” Chronos exclaimed “Once fate resets reality, everything should disappear!”“Oh, I may have forgotten to mention that” Luna smiled sheepishlyMarcus slowly rubbed his temples “Of course you did”“The Silver Tree remembers ev
My Name is Julius
An endless, suffocating silence stretched across the void as Julius found himself surrounded by countless versions of his existence.He saw himself as a child running through the streets with nothing but torn clothes and empty pockets.He saw the timid academy student who had inherited the Sovereign Mark by chance.He saw the warrior who stood before Ancient Titan Beasts without bowing his head.And finally, he saw the boy beneath the Silver Tree.The one whose face was almost his own, the one who had made a promise three million years ago.“Who are you?”Luna's voice echoed throughout the endless void.The question seemed simple yet millions had failed to answer it.Before Julius could gather his thoughts, the versions of himself began speaking.“I am the Sovereign. No, I am the Child Beyond Fate, I am the one who fought against destiny, the one who destroyed the world and the one who promised to return”Their voices overlapped until they became indistinguishable from one another.Ju
Who are You?
The following morning, no one was in a particularly good mood.Marcus had spent the entire night creating what he referred to as “perfectly reasonable arguments against entering mysterious forests beyond reality”Unfortunately, none of them had been particularly convincing.“Point number seventeen”he announced while holding several sheets of paper. “If the forest can trap people forever, then we should simply avoid the forest”“Very compelling” Aurelia said while sipping her tea“Thank you. Point number eighteen…”“Marcus”“Yes?”“We're still going” He let out a defeated sigh “I knew becoming friends with heroes would eventually shorten my lifespan”Julius, meanwhile, remained seated near the edge of the valley, staring at the silver flower in his hand.Ever since receiving it from Elias, he could feel a faint connection pulling him somewhere far beyond the horizon.It wasn't painful but if anything, it felt comfortingLike hearing a familiar voice in a crowded room “You're thinking
The Forest That Doesn't Exist
No one spoke for a long time after the sky returned to normal.The silver flower remained in Julius's hand, its soft glow illuminating the stunned expressions around the campfire.Marcus was the first to recover “Well, on the bright side, at least the sky isn't breaking anymore”A loud rumble echoed in the distance “Please ignore that”Julius, however, wasn't paying attention as his eyes remained fixed on the flower, it felt warm, alive and somehow familiar.“This shouldn't exist,” Chronos said quietly.“What?” Aurelia asked.“The Silver Flower”The Guardian of Time slowly approached Julius before staring at the flower with an expression bordering on disbelief.“I have not seen one of these for over three million years”Marcus immediately raised his hand “I feel like that's becoming a recurring statement in our lives”Chronos ignored him “The Silver Tree was destroyed at the end of the First Age and yet this flower carries its aura”Volkrath suddenly snorted flames “THEN THERE IS ONL
