Chapter Thirteen - Accoris Part Two - Prompto POV
...
I think I must have cried myself to sleep ... as exhausted as I've been. It's already dark outside.
My stomach is making some strange growling sounds.
Ah, I am hungry as hell. Ever since Ignis cooked the last time for us I haven't eaten anything.
Now that I have woken up, I turn myself on my back to stare at the ceiling above.
Then I start to remember.
Oh Lord ... what have I done?
My hands come up to rub over my eyes, feeling ashamed of myself.
Because ... my reactions to Atlas were so embarrassing.
To fall asleep in Atlas's warm embrace after ... after I ...
I give some small slaps to my cheeks, feeling my face heat up against the palm of my hands.
Stupid, stupid, stupid me!
Ugh! Seriously!
How can I face Chronus and Atlas after this ... ?
I don't want to know what kind of a bad impression I've left behind.
But, thinking back ... I just couldn't help it. My body couldn't help it.
Because it felt so damn good to be held by Atlas ... to be held by Noct's past self.
At that moment I wanted him with every fiber of my being.
He was whispering sweet nothings into my ear as I cried, he kept caressing me, squeezing me tightly but gently against his strong body ... and then, after a while, the deep longing and sadness transformed into this mad firework of uncontrollable desire in my guts. I was left gasping greedily for air. I really couldn't do anything about those growing sensations as the sudden craving took over me.
Atlas has been right.
No matter when and no matter where we meet, my attraction and deep love for Noct's heart and soul is without limits. It's grown far beyond my current control and understanding.
I'm truly overwhelmed by it all.
The love and connection between us as soulmates ... if one isn't truly prepared for the impact those words really have, then it can become quite frightening - it's -that- intense!
Like a fallen leaf fluttering in the wind, I can only follow the trail of my confused feelings ...
When I felt Atlas's warm and soft cheek pressed against my own, it took everything in my power to hold myself back from turning my head and kiss those enticing lips that were murmuring so many beautiful things to me.
I desired him with the same intensity as I desired Noct in my time.
And I secretly desired to learn what a more mature, more experienced Noct would be like ... to learn what kind of an amazing man he would become one day ...
Atlas had managed to arouse me beyond words, his pure love for me echoing inside and that made my body literally sing and melt back into him ... I've been entirely nude under those blankets and having felt his clothed groin under me, only a thin barrier preventing me from feeling his bare hot skin, to feel his arousal...
Oh sweet hell! I still can't believe how heavily turned on I was because of him! I was like putty under his more mature and calloussed hands. I felt his immense power slowly fusing into my skin and from there on my whole body was on fire. My whole senses heightened! But it was not the wild fire of the sudden and blazing kind - as I always got to experience with the younger Noct.
Atlas seemed to have full reign and full control over his inner powers compared to Noct at home.
The tendrils of his inner force felt more like tamed, full-fledged and mastered flames, ones which started to lick slowly at the insides of my skin, as if they were simmering curiously at first, wanting to get to know me for the first time. But then, as soon as his power recognised me, at once everything got intense as hell!
The most curious thing for me was, that the desire he invoked in me was smouldering, eagerly awaiting for Atlas's instructions, just floating slightly above the surface of my veins and never breaching to reach my life force - such a fierce control speaks of complete mastery over his powers. And those tendrils kept licking softly, caressing tenderly, fueling my lust with small bolts of energy, tormenting me with the growing urge to finally initiate -something-.
And how I hungered for his touch ...
But at the same time I couldn't allow myself to do anything.
In my haze full of lust and love for him, I've tried with all my might to resist Atlas. To avoid coming apart in front of him. In my delirious brain huge alarm bells started ringing to get me back to reality. That all of this was wrong, that I shouldn't allow this, that Atlas is somebody different, that he is already married, that my past self is watching us and that I might hurt him terribly.
I've feared the consequences of my actions that much, that I fought with every living cell I've had inside to hold myself back from reacting to him and to his powers in any way.
But ... his love for me, his warmth, his heady scent surrounding my body, the hot puffs of breath kissing the side of my lips, his flat palms caressing over my chest and brushing maybe not that accidentally over my sensitive nipples ... and he kept pressing me softly against his strong hips, my nude bottom touching (and downright sitting on) his arousal as he was thrusting upwards while he squeezed my hips slightly downwards to his groin ...
The only thing that I could think in that moment was yes, yes, yessss ...
Something inside of me desperately wanted to feel more.
To feel -everything-.
If I wouldn't know it better, I'd think Atlas seduced me on purpose back then ...
And I've been absolutely out of my mind because of it.
I really didn't intend to come apart (in every sense of the word!) then and there.
But I did ...
I truly did.
He didn't even touch me that intimately, but my over sensitive body climaxed on the spot. Without any further imput nor my permission.
Just recalling that moment is beyond embarrassing!
Really.
I rub over my entire face with my palms in distress. Hoping to get rid of the flustered heat on my cheeks there.
How can I ever look into his eyes ever again?!
And by God, I don't want to know what Chronus is thinking of me right now. He surely must be hating me after all this ...
Afterwards I hadn't had the courage at all to look at him. I was just letting the sleep take over my exhausted body and mind.
But now ...
Now I really need to go to apologize to him.
What have I been thinking?
I just don't understand myself anymore.
Atlas and Chronus are fated lovers, they are married to each other.
They love each other obviously very much.
My future self has no room and no right to get involved and to interfere into their intimate lives.
Surely I behaved that way only, because I miss Noct so much ... because everything between us is still so new and fresh for me, insomuch that it's impossible to control my sexual appetite around Noct that early in our intense relationship ... and at my young age I just can't resist the lure of the alien power inside of him.
I can't wait to get home again.
I can't wait to see Noct again.
Turning around while giving a deep sigh, I shove the soft blankets aside and stand up to look for the bathroom. I was prepared to start feeling dizzy and sick from fever, but I realize that my body feels completely healthy already - the fever has entirely gone down and the emotional turmoils have ceased to torment me.
Why? What happened?
Didn't Atlas say that I'm going to need a few more days to familiarize myself to the high levels of life energy around here ...?
Strange ...
With this I take the opportunity to really look at my surroundings, because a few hours ago I've been too emotionally invested and too confused to take everything properly in.
So I switch on the light and gasp as I see the beautiful room getting bathed in all kinds of hues full of warm coloured lights.
This is amazing ...
I walk a few steps around, gaping at all the advanced technological devices lying around. They even have a television screen here - at least I think that this is a TV ...
Wow, that's really strange.
I traveled into the far past, but these rooms and everything inside look the same as it would look in the far future. Besides some ancient looking paintings and relics hanging on the wall, nothing in here looks out of place or even close to -ancient- and mystical.
So Accoris was indeed technologically advanced - as far as I can see from this room it's a few levels further advanced than Insomnia in my future.
It's interesting, that after Accoris has disappeared (the legends say it was destroyed by some kind of cataclysm), people all over the world had had new beginnings. All previous knowledge must have been either scattered around or entirely lost.
I don't really believe myself to be here ...
And still, here I am.
In Accoris.
Somehow, it makes me very excited to find out more about this fabled place. Can't wait actually.
But first on my list is: visiting the bathroom, finding something to dress myself into, then finding Chronus to apologize and then getting some solid food into my starved stomach - everything in that order.
...
"There you are Prompto. I'm glad to meet you here, I was just on my way to your room."
"Ah, Chronus. I'm sorry for leaving without telling anyone, I was looking for you as well and this place is so incredibly huge that I got lost somehow. This beautiful garden is really fascinating, so I sat down for a little bit to enjoy the view."
Chronus is laughing softly. "It's alright. I thought that you would be starving by now, so I let the cooks prepare a late dinner for you."
I watch as two good looking men stand behind him, in front of them are tables with different dishes waiting to be devoured by my hungry stomach and I begin to salivate at the tasty looking and delicious smelling food. "Psst, are all men in Accoris that good looking?" I joke to Chronus as I whisper nearer to his ear. "Oooh, I see, they are your dessert for later, right?"
He is throwing his head back in laughter and I smile innocently at him.
Chronus is shaking his head in amusement and then he is suggesting: "You know what? It's such a beautiful night outside. Further inside of this garden there is a pavilion with several comfortable seats waiting for us. Let's go there."
He is showing me the way and I follow him eagerly.
"Whoa ... this place is amazing! So many beautiful flowers - I've never seen those before." I stop in front of a bush full of glowing and sparkling rose-like flowers, their scent absolutely intoxicating and making me shiver in pleasure as I smell once more on them before resuming my path. Now I remember why I like their scent so much - they remember me of Atlas ...
Chronus is chuckling knowingly at my expression on my face. "So you have already found out, huh? Atlas was wearing that scent today. These flowers are his favorite. But if you want to know, he has many different tastes of scents, but there is only one parfum that he is wearing regulary. But keep it a secret. It's a mix of grapefruit, lemon, orange, lavender, pine, rose and lily of the valley ... he likes his parfums to have a hint of sandalwood and musk. It sounds like a heady mixture, right?" He is grinning knowingly at my gaping face.
I can only nod at him, a blush appearing on my cheeks. It's as if he just listed off to me Atlas best kept secrets and I got to know something that is normally 'forbidden' to know.
As we walk deeper inside the garden, I take my time to admire the well trimmed trees, bushes and hedges. The beauty of the exotic plants and flowers around this place and the clean, well kept surroundings are making me silent for a change.
It's surreal.
It still blows my mind, that I'm currently in Accoris, I guess it must be around twelve thousand years back in time. And all of this looks just like Insomnia would look in around one hundred years or so - I imagine.
"It's breathtakingly beautiful out here." I say full of awe when we reach our goal. There is a pond surrounding the pavilion, translucent stairs are leading up to the bright lighted place. As we walk up the stairs, I watch speechlessly that the roof of the pavilion is transparent as well - the sea of stars from the night sky shining through and enriching this unbelievable experience even more. I wish everyone could be here to see this ... or at least having a camera would be nice to capture all of this ...
"Hn, indeed. I love this place the most. Don't tell Atlas that I told you this, but this is our favorite place to make love ..." Chronus is sending me a teasing grin.
"Wha... ?! Chronus! I swear, you are doing this deliberately, don't you? Why are you doing this to me? I even sought you out to apologize to you for what happened before." I pout at him. "Now I can't eat in peace." Because now I have all kinds of steamy images of Noct and me making out here at this beautiful place ... I try not to imagine my past self making love with Atlas - no, I won't.
"Seriously. Brain. STOP!" I shout at myself, hitting over my head once and not realizing that I've said that outloud.
I hear Chronus laugh into his hand, patting at a soft cushion with his free hand for me to have a seat. Then he says, sounding very amused: "You remind me so much of the times when I met Atlas for the first time. Jumpy, red faced and incredibly excited in his presence. It's in a way reassuring for me, to see that my future self is as smitten with him as I was and still am today."
Who in their right mind WOULDN'T be smitten with Atlas or Noct?!
With an awkward gesture of my hand to thank him for his generosity, I sit myself down opposite of him, releshing the feeling of these very soft and comfortable cushions under me as the personal attendants place and prepare our meal on the round table in front of us.
Because I don't know what to do with myself, I scratch behind my ear a few times, stealing glances at Chronus as he is smiling warmly at me.
I clear my throat and look down at my plate. It's really a strange feeling to talk to yourself somehow ... it helps that he is looking absolutely beautiful, looking like an entirely different person. This makes things less awkward for me.
Looking up once more into his eyes, I say softly: "Chronus ... I'd really like to apologize to you about this afternoon. Honestly, I ... I-"
"Prompto." He is waving with his hand my words away, interrupting me and saving me from stuttering like an idiot. "Everything is alright, you have nothing to apologize for. We will talk after you've eaten. Go on. Help yourself, don't hold back. Eat whatever you would like to eat."
So ... he isn't mad at me?
"Thank you." I don't need to be told twice. As soon as the those good looking men leave us, I follow his advice and help myself on some of the delicious smelling soup first.
Sweet Etro, this soup tastes fantastic!
Chronus is smiling brightly and watches me eat for awhile before he is starting to eat as well.
After I finished my serving, I also take some of the tasting looking cheese, a few slices of bread and several fresh fruits on my plate.
We eat in silence for a while, then Chronus is asking me: "Tell me a bit about Atlas, I mean Noctis, in your future."
I swallow down my food, before answering: "Oh, as far as I got to know about Atlas, you could say Noct is almost the same. Only maybe a bit more wild?" We both chuckle softly at that. Then I say: "Noct is twenty one years old. He obviously didn't get as much experience in his life as Atlas already has gathered here. But ... what I can say for sure is, that he is very loving, very gentle with me and of course he is very handsome. One day he'll become really powerful. His sense of justice is placed on the right side of his heart. And I think ... both of us waking up to us being soul mates, has changed him greatly, in a good way. I love him very, very much. Oh! And he has quite the hilarious sense of humor! I love listening to him whenever he is in the mood to joke around, so I tease him very often because he always looks so happy when we are having fun - it takes off some of the burden of him being a Prince. Because of this burden, in his childhood he was very lonely. Well, he was, until he met me." I wink at Chronus and we laugh again.
"Hmm, so you have known him for such a long time?"
"Yes. We grew up as best friends, very close. Recently, our enemies have invaded the Lucis Kingdom and have stolen our Crystal. His father, King Regis, died on that night ... but Noct met him again in the Astral plane. He told me, that it was Regis who sent to me fabricated dreams to initiate a lovers relationship with his son ... it was because Regis knew that we are soulmates and he nudged us into the right direction. It took us a few days, but then ... his inner force has fully woken up and from there on ... things got a bit hot between us. We still haven't figured out fully how to deal with this strong attraction to each other." I admit to him, and then I bite into a piece of a very sweet watermelon.
Chronus is furrowing his thin eyebrows, asking: "I apologize for the intimate question, you don't have to answer, but ... you two already have had sexual contact? His inner force has only recently woken up fully?"
Not knowing what he is after, I just answer: "Ehm, yes we did. In the beginning, Noct has always talked about the alien power inside of him as if it were his arch enemy. But once he let go of his fears, of having no control over his inner powers and of hurting me unintentionally, he became even more powerful and ... the sex became even better because of it."
When I see Chronus still frowning, I ask him: "Why? Did we ... do something wrong at the wrong time ...?"
"What? Oh, no, no. Do not worry. Actually I think it's really interesting that his powers are fully active only at that late stage of his life. From what you just told me, Noctis hadn't had any proper lessons on how to control and tame his powers much earlier and I wonder why ... ? Why wasn't there a master available in his teens, someone who could have taught him everything he needed to know about his unique powers?"
I support myself on my elbow as I lean the side of my face on my hand, as I ask curiously: "So you think he should have had gained ... sexual experiences when he was a teenager? That there should have been someone teaching him everything much sooner? Hm ... good question. I don't know. Noct has suffered insomnia all his life, he couldn't sleep at night and we didn't know what's been the cause of it. Now that you mention this, his illness might have really come from his inner powers that should have been already fully active - they were still asleep and in turn they were responsible for some kind of blockage, I think. .. hm ... and since Noct and I made love to each other his illness suddenly disappeared. So this might really be related."
I'm getting lost in my own thoughts, but then Chronus calls me back on track, saying to me:
"Prompto, I want to tell you the reason of why you experienced an orgasm this afternoon. Atlas has already experienced and learned everything about his unique inner powers as intimately as possible early in his life. Since he has been seventeen, his powers do not only have the ability to pleasure his bonded mate thoroughly in exchange for etheric energy. His tamed powers can fully heal a human being through sexual energy, among other positive effects - and this is what he did to you earlier today. What I really want to say is, Atlas is a master over his own powers and learned everything about himself at quite the young age - and Noctis is a young adult already but he still hasn't yet. And just so you know, that Atlas has been touching you intimately was of course intentional, it was his decision to give you as much pleasure as possible while your body was healing and infused your body with a lot of magic for you to acclimate to the saturated etheric energy around here. You know, usually he doesn't need to be in the same room to heal somebody - so you were a very special case to him ..." Chronus is smiling softly to reassure me.
My gaping face must have told him of my huge surprise.
So Atlas has truly healed me? He was touching me intentionally? He wanted to give me pleasure? ... and Chronus isn't jealous nor mad at me because of it?
"Chronus, aren't you .. mad at me, that Atlas has touched me that intimately today? Well he didn't really touch me, but his powers .. they ..." I ask awkwardly and scratch the tip of my nose.
"Heh, I knew you would ask me that. But let me answer you with questions of my own: would you be jealous of me, when Noctis would heal me with his powers in the same way? Would you deny your past self a moment of pleasure and healing between him and his soulmate? It isn't as if we are ever able to take possession of Atlas's or Noctis's freewill and soul. If Atlas's decision and desire is to hold you and to endow you with sexual pleasure while he is healing your body and mind, than who am I to intervene? Who are we to decide what's best for others? Because of jealousy? Why should I be jealous of my future self? Because of fear to lose Atlas's love to you? Atlas is in the same sense your soulmate as Noctis is mine - hence, the love between us transcends all mortal hormone driven lust, jealousy and fear. So, why would I deny ourselves this pleasure of being healed and pleasured by Atlas?" Chronus is ending his explanation and again smiling at me gently. "Do you understand?"
I observe the emotions on his face for a few long seconds. And when I see the honest love shining in his eyes for me and for himself, it really dawns on me. "Yes, I think I do now. From a broader, immortal perspective, you and I are one ... as are Atlas and Noct ..."
"That's right. Prompto, you will learn that as soulmates, we are a special case. A case so rare and unorthodox to society, that our gnostic views won't ever fit into any 'normal' societal regulations or norms, no matter at which era we look at. So don't hurt your pretty head over it. I understand your initial reactions of being afraid and ashamed. But true love just -is-. There are no inbetweens. Not many wise men and women have lived to experience and tell about this wisdom. Fear, jealousy and possessiveness are there for mortal beings, for immature and selfish souls, who still need to learn their lessons to hopefully grow up one day. Such self-destructive feelings have no room to exist inside of us, because you and I come from a complete different world where such emotions do become meaningless."
I take a moment to think over what he just said and I guess, I understand from where Chronus is coming from. I smile back at him in understanding, realizing that I still have a lot to learn and I'm relieved that he and I could talk about this so openly.
I feel this strong attraction to Atlas, because as my soulmate I love him as much as Noct. That much I can understand.
Chronus then says: "You know, human beings are strange creatures. I think, you having grown up as if you were fully human, has taught you a lot of useless traditions, beliefs, do's and don't's. But I tell you right here and right now Prompto, that all of those self induced limits and boundaries do not matter at all in your mortal life. There are people out there, who depend on what others say, they can't think for themselves. These kind of people, their young souls, still have a long journey ahead of them to grow strong and wise. All these rules, the regulations, traditions and beliefs are implemented into society by evil people - for humanity to act a certain way, for people to always fear something, for the ordinary people to believe only what the authorities want them to believe. To have fierce control over everyone's freewill and molding society how they see fit. The result is a very conditioned and fabricated way of life. And sadly, because of those restrictions, false beliefs and do's and don't's, sex naturally becomes one of the biggest, most confusing and most harmful activity a human being can experience - if he doesn't get rid of all the emotional and spiritual baggage inside his subconscious mind first. The indoctrinated and programmed society has, since the moment human beings are born, learned to act in a certain way when certain circumstances arise. Rest assured, you are not the first nor the last one to react that way, feeling scared, ashamed and confused at Atlas's and my open behaviour towards sexual pleasure."
Folding my hands into my lap, I look down, somewhat feeling saddened.
After some time of silence, I whisper: "You just have confirmed my thoughts. I have often given a thought about the way we live, especially after I found my soulmate ... after I found Noct. I wish all of us in the future to reach this level of freedom in body and mind as the people of Accoris do."
Then Chronus continues in a soft voice: "Yes, waking up to ones true soulmate can change your perspective on things drastically. You start to look at the world from a broader point of view. But back to the problem at hand regarding Noctis. In Accoris there are many skilled masters, who are capable of helping others heal and attain mastery over their own etheric energy flow. I would suggest for Noctis and yourself to look for further information on how to fully master his powers first. It depends on you as his partner how fast he is going to learn."
"Thank you, we will."
"What I advice I can give you, puberty can become very harmful if a teenager doesn't grow up with the right advice and knowledge about himself and others. And at example, to grow up sexually healthy both in mind and body, preferably in a sexually healthy environment, sexuality is the first topic every teenager in Accoris needs to properly and seriously study. For all of us living here this is a given. The various life energy currents inside of our bodies need to flow freely, without any emotional blockages and hindrances, for us to stay healthy and for us to live a long and satisfied life with our chosen partners. As history has taught us, sexual energy has always been the most dangerous energy inside of us, the most potent one for self-destruction and for harming others for life - if it's not practiced in the right and moral way from the very beginning. So make sure to study well and implement your knowledge with care and wisdom."
"I see ..." I lean backwards to look up at the stars above. "I understand what you just told me. I read about something similar when I was younger, these topics were mentioned and written inside an old book, the content was actually about sexual magic. At first I was typically curious about the content, I was sixteen at that time, but I ended up reading the whole book and I was quite amazed in the end about all the things we don't get to learn as we grow up. I always knew that there is much more to sexuality than meets the eye. This knowledge should be available for everyone. It's important."
"I do agree. Tell me Prompto, how is sexuality perceived in the future where you come from?" Chronus is crossing his arms and looking at me with a very serious face.
While I myself are blushing to the roots of my hair, I answer: "Oh, ehm, I'm not an expert at this, but from what I've seen and heard it's definitely different than the behaviour towards sex here. At least compared to what you have told me so far. Talking about sex in general is very awkward for the most of us. While advanced in technology and knowledge, the people of the Kingdom of Lucis are mostly shy and reserved. They frown upon others if they behave in a different way. Teenagers are growing up and learn about sexuality by trial and error. In Insomnia the only advice they get are oftentimes either bad ones from their friends or really bad ones from the media around them. Seldom do they get advice from their parents, and when they do, then it's mostly of the same bad kind because their parents grew up the same way. Young teens mostly get the wrong impressions about themselves early in life and because of false expectations their first times are either painful or boring or mind-blowing, depending on the experience of their first partners. At example, inbetween the young people today, in my time, they think that having sex as often as possible is the most healthy and normal for them. Having sex with as many partners as possible and losing ones virginity as soon as possible is cool and honorable - all of this turned out in the end to be some stupid game about measuring ones sexual prowess on each ones accumulated amount of bed partners. I heard a lot of guys joke and make fun about their experiences. For them sex is either a game or just an opportunity to get some selfish pleasure. For them sex is reduced to hormones and simple lust - without taking responsibility, without investing serious feelings, without respect to their bed partners. Eeach session goes by without any profound meaning. You could say it's become like a drug that is slowly but surely dragging them down as the years go by. They live their lives chasing after even more and even better, and faster and higher selfish pleasures - night after night, party after party, life after life. Only to never come to the final realisation that the thirst they feel inside isn't quenchable by having as much sex with as many different people as possible. This thirst of experiencing pleasure with a partner comes from yearning for the 'right one', craving for the reuinification with their true soulmate."
I make a short break to drink a bit of my fruit juice as Chronus has a disappointed expression on his face, looking sad.
"Chronus, as far as I understand, many people living in my time are spiritually immature, or deeply asleep as Noctis said once to me. These people grow up in their teens either very lonely, socially awkward, some grow up addicted to watching other people having sex and because of the latter they aren't able to lead a healthy sexual relationship with others later in life. Well, there are as many different reasons, of why teenagers never get to learn to lead a sexually healthy life, as there are snow flakes falling on the ground in winter. I can't pin down this matter on only a few points. So .. even most mature and adult people in my future just don't know how a sexually healthy life actually should be like - nor what gathering the right knowledge about it exactly entails. So it's only natural, that they would react so strongly against something so open and meaningful. If not for my knowledge, I would have reacted exactly the same."
With a heavy sigh, Chronus is standing up, walking a few steps further away to look at the pond.
I give a sigh as well, take a last piece of ananas and join him, watching some cute duck chicks with their mother swimming very close to us while I eat.
When I see that Chronus seems to be really sad, I walk back to the table to steal a bit of bread and then stand beside him once more to feed to the ducks some crumbs.
And then I get a small smile out of him and I smile back, nudging him with my shoulder and giving him a bit of bread to feed the cute chicks as well.
"You know ..." He starts speaking after a while. "You and I, our spirit, secretly loves the Earth. We love humanity, love the animals and love all nature around us. We are old souls, Prompto. We shouldn't be here - they say. But I just can't keep on watching as humanity makes the same mistakes over and over again. So I came here to help as much as I can ... but ... seeing you here at my side, seeing that -I- have started the reincarnation-process all over again that was causing for you to fall deeply into amnesia and forget about your true self and destiny ... this can only mean that I have failed."
He is looking at a point somewhere far away into the distance and I get closer to him to put my arm around his shoulders to comfort him.
"Prompto, soon, something terrible will happen to the Kingdom of Accoris. As the 'Father of Time' I am well aware of the upcoming cataclysm that will set humanity back to start all over. And it saddens me, that I'm not wise enough, not powerful enough yet to lead humanity home."
With shimmering tears inside his eyes, Chronus turns to me and is stroking gently over my head. "This is why you are here, Prompto. Atlas and I are going to teach you for the next few months all there is to know. So that you can return to the future armed with strength, wisdom and knowledge. And together with Noctis by your side you shall succeed in creating a new Accoris - the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth."
...
to be continued.
