"Um, can I help you, sir?" Someone says.
I didn't understand what they were saying, but I turned to the person that was talking to me. I tried responding by saying, "I am lost, sir." It looked like they didn't understand what I said because more people were behind him at some type of camp with tools. I stand there in confusion, with these people all staring at me oddly. Was my outfit too out of place in the future, it was itching me until a person stood in front of them. Not a man, a sentient stone man walked up to me, I wasn't bothered by this since I have seen far stranger things. The stone man spoke to me, getting my attention immediately.
"Who are you?" He says I understood what he was saying.
He spoke the same dialect as me, yet he was with these people. Maybe I can finally figure out this whole land that I'm in.
"I am Endure the Crypt Knight, pleasure that we can understand each other," I say, greeting myself like when a guest came over to feast.
"Uhh, sorry I only got part of what you said. I am new to this dialect," He says, everyone else seemed to be confused.
It's weird, he changed his dialect to talk to the people around him, yet he changes it when I'm talking to him. Is it possible to learn more than one language? Nevertheless, I look around to see the once beautiful kingdom. Was now in ruins, maybe more beyond the age of my time.
"Would you like to rest at our camp in the meantime?" He asks.
"Yes, please," I say, we all walked towards the camp and I sat down on a log near a fire.
In this camp, wonders struck me everywhere I looked. Some people were inspecting the great castle, and some had their meals near the campfires. The rumbling from my ears of some sort of technology that I didn't understand, and these long lines that connect to a light source. How? The stone man sat down across from me, pulling some bread that he tried to offer.
"Sorry, I am not hungry," I say, I was concerned that they were trying to poison me.
"Ah, I see. Forgot to greet myself, I am Cementos," He says, I nod in response.
I pull out the paper of Queen's Kimoto and read it to myself for self-comfort. I was still unsure about the whole ordeal, but I need to fulfill her wish. Cementos looked up to see me read this paper, I put it away quickly for myself. I stand up to look around, walking between each tent and what they're doing. While I was walking, I caught a glimpse of a cryptic message. These people were trying to figure out what it said, I looked closer and could see the writing. I remember these little script writing, as I walk up to it. The people that were looking at it were confused, so I grabbed the tablet with the words attached to a pedestal. Then I restored this tablet, looking much cleaner and spotless. I put the pedestal down and read the scripture, everyone else was shocked by the whole thing.
"The war is over, and we have won by a mere fraction. Can't say that we won the war completely, I almost lost everything to fight off the Northern Army. However, I fear something completely different than what's beyond my lifespan. It was scary to look at, even before the Northern Army. However, I hid away the key to fighting this evil disaster, it's only a matter of time now."
So that's what happened throughout my slumber, I wish I was there to help them while I still can. Cementos come running from the campfire, seeing me read the scripture. After I was done, he approached me.
"What are you doing?" He says, concerned.
"Reading, sigh," I say, I was humbled to know we won, but I wasn't there.
"May I hold the tablet?"
"Be careful."
He holds the tablet to read, he was astonished by the information on this tablet. Looking up from the tablet and looking back at me, smiling.
"This is amazing! What's your quirk?" Cementos asks.
"What's a quirk?" I ask, I don't recall my powers called quirks.
"Never mind that, this is astonishing to know. Oh, can you do these as well?"
I take the tablets, restoring them to when they were created. I read the three tablets, and I was also interested in what happened.
"The citizens after the war have been asking me where's The Crypt Knight, can I even answer? The time awaits, I had to do it. For both of us."
"Months after the war, we held a feast in the grand hall. The generals as well as the assistants feast together at the table. However, it troubles me how they talk badly about the Crypt Knight. Saying he's a coward, or that he died so suddenly that it's pathetic. I wanted to say something at that moment, however, it will sting me later."
"These last moments at my bed, my day of reign is slowly withering, this is the final script I shall be writing. But more scriptures lay hidden deeper into the castle if I could make my last wish, my last will. I hope that whoever reads this in the future, the time will come when the darkness will consume the land. But a figure shall stand in that darkness, and that time will come soon."
"Queen Kimoto, at least you lived long." I thought, there could be peace in her afterlife.
All the worries that I had before vanished, I guess I was in the wrong for thinking this way. I gave the tablets to Cementos, while I sat at the log contemplating. Many scriptures lie more within the history of the kingdom, looking back at the fallen kingdom. The time for thinking was short, Cementos approaching me.
"This is outstanding, might I make a request?" Cementos asks.
"Yes?" I responded I did a lot for them, but what are they offering back?
"With this, I want to ask you to join us in the archeology group, plus over the years. You'll get the hang of our language," Cementos says, whispering to him a bit.
I thought about it for a second, I like history. Maybe, this is the first step of the new world, I humbly accept. However, a new worry troubles me, what if they're trying to use me? I guess I have nothing to base it on, but the disaster that will soon come. I just hope that I can protect the people here too.
