Starting To Change The World Part 4

"How much time do I need to continue doing this?.." Lilina asked.

"It is almost done," Kiran explained.

Finally, the telescope was being built, while Kiran was building the tube, Lilina used her fire tome to transform the sand into glass.

Due to the primitive materials, Kiran had at his disposal to build it, it was going to be like the first telescope used to watch the heavens, the one used by Galileo, who lived four centuries ago... if he was lucky, maybe in the future he could replicate the mirror telescope of Newton.

The lenses were made using two molds, one to create a convex lense, and the other a concave lense.

"That's enough."

Lilina stopped casting fire.

They wait for a while, it was necessary, if Kiran touched the lenses at that moment, his fingers would be burned.

"Ok... Sharena, hold it please."

The Askarian princess did what Kiran requested her, Kiran took the lenses, then, he glued the convex lense in the objective part, and the concave was placed as the eye lense.

While he was trying to get the lens the proper distances apart, something that he hadn't considered the first time he had a talking with Lilina crossed his mind.

"By the way... Lilina.."

"Yes?."

"Do you remember when I told you I was going to summon Roy?... well... maybe it won't work.."

"Why not?.." Lilina looked confused as Kiran said he couldn't complete his promise.

"The problem is the infinite amount of timelines... are you aware of that.. aren't you?."

"Um... I remember.. that you were talking with Kagero about something like that..."

"My brother also told me something... but it was too complicated that I didn't pay much attention."

"Basically, every possibility exists as different worlds.. every change that is generated, here and in the other side of the universe.. all they divide the time."

"All of them?."

"Yeah.. when I summon heroes, I transport them from their timelines to here... the problem is.. I cannot be sure if when I summon another hero from the same kind of world.. that hero is from the same timeline that the previous one came from.."

"You are saying... even if you summoned Roy."

"He could be not your husband.. even if that Roy remembers to have you as his wife, even the minimal difference would make him another Roy... I guess I don't need to explain the troubles it could generate if you interact with him."

Lilina gave a sad smile as she nodded...

"You need to know I'm not obligating you to stay here... if you want to go, you can go whenever you want..."

If Kiran thought about it, what he was doing wasn't too much different from what Veronica did, taking people away from their homes, their families and everything without asking for permission...

Lilina shook her head. "It is fine, I cannot go now, you need me."

"Are you sure?..."

"Sure."

"Very well.."

After a few more times, Kiran finished "his" invention."

"Je, to the master Galileo it took a lot of work to get the lens the proper sizes and distances apart.. at least it won't be the case for us."

"So, it works?." Sharena asked as her eyes wide.

Kiran smiled and then he nodded, "Yes, after all, I built one of these years ago, wanna watch the moon using this?"

"Yes yes yes!." both girls exclaimed.

"Very well, but this is a historical moment, others should see it too."

"I'm bringing my brother and the commander!." Sharena said as she ran outside.

"I'll bring Lucina, Nino, and others."

"Excellent."

When Lilina left as well, Kiran stared at his creation.

"Je.." Kiran began to remember a few things.


Kiran's world, 2008

For kids of 8 years old, the most normal thing was to be playing during playtime, and that's what most of the kids were doing, while the boys were playing soccer and the girls played with their dolls, the teacher Sofía was looking to Luis, the only kid who preferred to stay at the classroom.

She wouldn't have considered it too unusual... if it was only a few times, but this boy was showing this behavior since the beginning of the year.

Luis wasn't a bad student, at all, in fact, he was the second-best of the class, being only superated by Jazmín, but he clearly had a problem.

Only having three friends?.. well, that wasn't bad... but avoiding the other kids and having a lack of interest in festivals like Christmas, day of death or the independence day?...

Luis ignored that his teacher was walking towards him.

"Luis, puedo saber qué estás haciendo?. (Luis, may I know what are you doing?.) Sofia asked.

"...Leyendo...(...Reading...)"

The teacher noticed Luis was reading the last pages of the geography book.

".. Um, pero Luis, aún no llegamos a esa parte." (Luis.. we haven't reached that part)."

".. No importa...(does not matter...)" Then, Luis yawned as he turned the page, even though it was a geography book, those last pages had images of planets.

".. ¿Te gustan los planetas?..." (Do you like planets?), Sofia asked, as she saw Luis smiling.

"..Planetas, estrellas, galaxias, lo que sea que sea del espacio está chido." (Planets, stars, galaxies, whatever is in the outer space is cool.)

"..Está bien que te guste el espacio, pero no crees que deberías ir a jugar?, a la pelota, con tus compañeros. (It is fine you like the outer space, but don't you think you should go to play the ball, with your classmates.).

"...Meh, a mi no me interesan sus juegos, y a ellos no les interesa el espacio, además no me junto con imbéciles." (I'm not interested on their games, and they aren't interested on the outer space, also I don't get along with imbeciles)."

"Cuida tu lenguaje jovencito, usted debe entender que es necesario que tenga amigos, salir, divertirse" (watch your mouth, young man, you must understand that it is necessary to have friends, to go out, to get fun)."

"Sí sí sí, lo que sea." (Yeah Yeah, whatever.)".


2011, February.

Luis spent his time at home, alone, as almost every day... but this time, in particular, he was building a tube.

After he had finished reading the books, Blue Pale Dot and A Brief History Of Time, he was eager to watch the stars through a telescope, unfortunately, his family was poor and even the cheapest telescope was too expensive for them, due to that, he was trying to build his own.

Unfortunately, his family was constantly interrupting him.

Help me to take care of the tortillería while I'm out.

Help me to carry heavy things.

Go to get ingredients for food.

And almost every activity that could keep him away from finishing his precious object.


2011, November.

Even though Luis managed to build the telescope, he discovered another problem... the light... the buildings and cars were able to hide almost all visible objects on the heavens... he sighed...

While Luis managed to look at the stars a few times, eventually he got bored, even though they were beautiful objects, only watching them... meh.. he wanted to calculate their distance.. he wanted to know how to know what they were made of... he started to investigate on the internet.


Askr, Present Time.

"Supongo que sin luz electrica esto será mucho más fácil.. ya quiero descubrir un planeta.." (I guess without electricity here, this will be easier... I already want to discover a new planet...).

Then, he walked out as well.


The castle's backyard was the perfect place to use the newest invention in Askr.

Sharena even brought her mother.

"It is an honor to me to be able to give you all the key what will reveal you the real size of the existence.. to prove how our imagination pales against anything there is to be discovered... here it is... the first telescope of your world!." Kiran exclaimed as he gave the mentioned object to Lucina... he didn't consider that speech as the best he could have created... but he was kinda nervous.

The blue-haired princess didn't waste time as she looked through it, pointing to the moon.

"Oh my goodness... those are many craters... " Lucina commented, her eyes widened, after a little time, she passed the telescope to Lilina.

"You weren't lying... the moon is another world..."

"Yeah... I'm not sure if that moon appeared just like the moon from my universe, but it is likely."

"Wait a minute, do you know how the moon was created?." Nino asked, as curiosity devoured her mind.

"Well, the moon is thought to have formed about 4.51 billion years ago-"

"4.51 Billon years?!" Sharena yelled she couldn't believe it... and the other heroes couldn't too.

"Um.. yeah... I mean, what did you think? that the earth was only 10000 years old?... Bah! actually, during the whole time my Earth has existed, the humans have been walking around only in the 0.001 percent of its history... I suppose it is the same case here."

"... how.. how can you know that?.." The queen Henriette questioned after a little time.

"We can determine how old are the rocks using a process called radiometric dating, it is amazing but here I don't have tools to do it... but meh, compared to the time the universe has existed... it is not too much... "

"...how much time?.." Even Alfonse was very interested.

"... 13.8 billion years... yeah."

Kiran continued explaining more about the universe that night, he explained that even using his invention, the 99.9 percent of the stars weren't still visible, he explained what were the galaxies, and how the galaxies were nothing but a dot compared to the colossal size of a universe, and that, now proved the existence of different universes, their universe was likely just a bubble in a sea filled with thousands of bubble universes.

For the first time in their lives, the heroes understood something Kiran accepted a long time ago... technically.. they were nothing.


The first time you understand how tiny you are... IT IS FUCKING AMAZING! :D.

Or well, I don't know about you, many people get scared and then they begin to believe in the flat earth because they have a needing to believe they are special enough to live inside their own fishbowl...

And yeah, you finally know something about Kiran's past, also, when I wrote: Day Of Death I meant a festival in Mexico, it is celebrated the 2nd day of November, it is not Halloween. This confirms Kiran is Mexican, just like, for example, Marco Díaz or Miguel (The one who appears in COCO) and probably Rick Sánchez... I mean.. it was kinda obvious anyway... I guess.. but well, he is Mexican, yeah,

A Tortillería is a store where tortillas are produced, and then tortillas are used to cook tacos.

Well... Time For Answers! Yeeey!.

MrFireTank:

Well... I hope you got something... because I didn't... *cries*.

KiraLight-san:

Um.. whatever you want bro...

JP I'm Italian:

Well, at least Gunnthra got killed, because if that didn't happen... I was going to have more troubles avoiding to make Kiran a Gary Stu.. and talking about that.. am I the only one who didn't feel any sad?.. as KiraLight said, her death was lame... and talking about dead people, King Gustav will remain dead, that does not change the history so much so... I'm not gonna bother me to bring him back.

And the summoner's name has been Kiran the whole time, what I said was that he chose Kiran because it is too similar to Kira from Death Note, but also because Kiran means: Ray Of Light.

JDT1829:

Well, that's likely because not all writers can speak two or more languages.

As I always ask... is there an error there?
