Yawn~Alfonso felt incredible this morning.
"It feels like ages since I sleep this well" Though Alfonso.
When he was at the desert he always had to sleep in the sand, of course, he didn"t actually had to sleep, he didn"t get sleepy after all, but, he felt that he needed to sleep so he forced himself to.
He woke up and saw that it was still early, the sun was just beginning to rise, quite curious indeed, after all, Alfonso was known to always wake up late. Alfonso looked at the side of the bed, he saw Demeter, who was still sleeping. A fun fact was that, the bed was quite big, a king size bed in Alfonso"s world, but, despite this, Demeter was sleeping with one leg on the air.
"It seems that she moves a lot while sleeping" Though Alfonso.
On the other hand, Alfonso was more like an statue, as far as he remember he always sleep the same way, resting on his left side.
Alfonso looked at the sun that was showing the first rays and looked at his "ring", the pattern of the ring was particular, if one touched it, one could felt that it was really hard.
"Drakini" Though Alfonso
"S-s-sir, good morning" From the ring, a trembling childish voice came to Alfonso"s head.
"Good morning, Drakini I had something important to tell you" Said Alfonso.
"W-w-what is it sir?"
"Remember what happen on the other dimension, don"t tell anyone about it, not even my friends " Said Alfonso with seriousness.
"What happened there… you mean that, right?"
"That"s right, you can`t say it to anyone" Said Alfonso.
"I get it sir, Drakini will follow your command" Said Drakini.
"Good" Alfonso looked back at his bed to see Demeter, he felt somehow guilty to hide something from her and Artemis, however, he had his thoughts about it.
"Its not a secret that can"t be hidden for long thought, however, I have to get use to my new powers before that" Said Alfonso.
Alfonso suddenly looked at the few people who were beginning their day, he suddenly looked at one young man who was holding some fruits while putting them on a small carriage. Alfonso"s eye suddenly turned red, however, after some time the eye came back to its normal purple color.
"Now. its only one minute at the best, huh" Said Alfonso with sadness.
Alfonso recalled what happened before they came back from the dimension.
........................
Alfonso and Drakini get used to their routine after two weeks, basically it was like this, the both of them woke up and started toeat the particles, Drakini will listen to Alfonso who wanted someone to talk, after all, if one stayed alone for a long time, they could develop some mental issues.
"That"s how, the world war II ended, the event that market this was the fall of the wall of Berlin" Said Alfonso to Drakini.
Since they didn"t have anything in common tried to tell him different fairy tales of his world to Drakini, surprisingly enough, they didn"t catch Drakini attention, Alfonso though that since he was technically a child, he would like these kinds of histories, however, Drakini find them quite boring, he tried his best to hide it thought.
Due to this, Alfonso suddenly talked about his favorite subject, history.
Drakini be quickly get hooked by history, and since ths was Alfonso"s hobby and vocation, he was more than happy to chat with him.
"Sir, your world its always filled with war and, it seems to me, that it always for the same reasons!" Commented Drakini.
"Oh? And what reasons are those?" Asked interested Alfonso.
"If I had to resume it in one word, it would be… power!" Said Drakini.
"Well, it"s a shallow definition, after all, its not always that, however, its true that behind every kind of motive, power it"s the catalyzer of enmity and will eventually led to war, that"s why it"s so important to study our history" Said Alfonso.
"What do you mean sir?" Asked Drakini.
Alfonso made a small smile.
"I had study history for more than forty years, history has taught me a lot, but, the most important lesson that it had taught me is this…"
"Those who don"t know their history"
"Are doom to repeat it"
Alfonso took a deep breath and though back of his university days back in England on his original world, back then, Alfonso was a young men of eighteen to twenty years old, however, he remember that day like it was yesterday. He was just taking his breakfast with her sister when his father came rus.h.i.+ng to the kitchen, he hold the "THE TIMES" newspaper on his hand.
"My son, my daughter, the war has finally ended!" Shouted his father.
Everyone on his family were celebrating, the streets were filled with people shouting. Alfonso also joined the celebration.
"However, how long will last the period of peace this time?"
This though was on Alfonso"s mind for a long time.
........................
"Back then, for one month, I always woke up in the middle of the night for fear that the rings of war will sound once more" Though Alfonso.
Alfonso was lost on his mind went he eat the last bunch of soul energy went he felt somehow different, the hungry sensation that he had felt all this time was slowly disappearing.
"DING!
Congratulations to the host Alfonso Lockheart for completing the first concept of Chronos : stagnation. New function of the system activated"
A message from the system came to his mind, he suddenly felt warm on his left eye. He felt that his left eye was becoming hotter and hotter, lucky for him, after some minutes the pain disappear.
"System, what did you do?" Asked Alfonso.
"The system used the soul energy of Chronos and extracted the first concept of time, stagnation" Reply the system.
"What new function do you have?" Asked Alfonso.
Alfonso looked on the "Window", beside of the "H" icon that was the hero option, a human body like figure appear, when Alfonso "click it" a 3D hologram appeared in front of him.
