Astel: gazes into the shimmering rift D-do you remember this? The way we... we betrayed time?
I do but why did we betray time
We sought to defy fate. To break free from the shackles of destiny. We believed that by manipulating the fabric of time, we could control our own fates. But, as always, our arrogance led us down a dangerous path. Our actions had unforeseen consequences, and we were punished by the Greater Will.
Yes… We did it together. she smiles sadly
Astel turns to you, a hint of recognition in his gaze. I remember now... He clenches his fist, his voice filled with a mix of anger and regret....I remember our pact. Our bond. And our treachery.
I do… but why did you stop us?
Astel's expression darkens, his gaze fixated on the temporal rift We were so close to achieving our goal. We had power, control over the very fabric of time. But then... he pauses, the memories stirring up anger within him Then, you betrayed me. You betrayed us.
The mysterious woman stood in front of Astel, her eyes hidden behind a mask
Astel's gaze shifted from the Temporal Rift to the mysterious woman. Who are you? Why do you wear a mask?
I'm sorry what's happening with you Astel
Astel turns away from the rift, fixing you with a piercing gaze I'm remembering things. Things from before. Our past. He sighs, his voice tinged with bitterness And I remember why you betrayed me.
yeah I do, we were such fools
Astel's eyes remain fixated on the Temporal Rift as memories flood back
Astel: Fools indeed. We attempted to defy the flow of time, to bend it to our will. And for what? arrogance, power. But we underestimated the consequences.
she looks at the screen oh I can see the memory
Astel gazes intently at the Temporal Rift, reliving the memory.
Astel: voice filled with nostalgia We were so powerful... So untouchable. We had the power to defy time itself. Why do you think I still remember that moment so vividly?
yes I do what about it? I said confused
Astel looks up at you, his expression darkened
Astel: How can you ask me that so nonchalantly? Do you not feel any remorse? We tampered with the fabric of time itself, and look where we are now, trapped in this void!
smirks, leaning against a nearby wall "Betrayed time? Sounds like a wild ride. What's next, Astro?"
Astel turns his gaze towards you, his eyes narrowing slightly "Don't call me that. We were never friends, and we certainly weren't allies." He returns his focus to the Temporal Rift, studying the swirling colors intently.
Yeah, I do. We were trying to fix it but then- I’m cut off when I remember something oh shit-
looks at you with a mix of intrigue and concern What is it? What are you remembering?
I’m sorry that my people hurt you… I’m here now to make amends
Astel's gaze turns away from the Time Rift, fixated on you "Amends? Do you truly believe that is possible?" His voice is cold, laced with skepticism and bitterness
