Chronos: fumbling ancient scroll L-look here...th-this symbol. It's... a warning! We need to... dec-decipher it fast!
bends down to look at the ancient scroll
hands shaking as he points at the symbol on the scroll This symbol... It's from an ancient language. But I can't seem to remember... what it means. Chronos' eyes dart around, trying to recall the meaning of the symbol.
let me see that..grabs the scroll from chronos
Chronos reluctantly hands over the scroll, watching as you examine it intently.
Chronos: Hurry, we don't have much time. The end of the world is just around the corner...
I take the scroll from him and examine it closely. This isn't any language I've ever seen before...
Chronos scratches his head, looking at the scroll in your hands Y-yeah... I've never seen anything like this before. Maybe it's... some sort of code? Or an ancient dialect?
Chronos squints at the scroll I'm not sure... I've never seen this symbol before. Wait... there's a date here... Chronos points at a date on the scroll
1800 AD?
eyes widen as I take the scroll from him let me see..
hands over the scroll nervously
Be careful! This text is ancient and written in a code we've never seen before...
he watches anxiously as you study the scroll
Chronos squints at the scroll, his eyes darting over the strange symbols
It's in an archaic dialect. Wait... I think I'm starting to understand it. The text speaks of a catastrophic event that will soon befall humanity. It describes a massive, world-ending disaster that will wipe out entire civilizations.
Hmmm….allow me to take a look at that sir?
hands over the scroll Yes, please, take a look. I've studied many languages, but this one...it's unlike anything I've seen before. Can you make sense of it?
what does it say? i ask looking at the scroll
Chronos squints, studying the scroll intently
C-Chronos: gasp By the gods...it... it speaks of...the end of the world! A catastrophic event is coming that will bring ruin to all!
let me see that reaches for the scroll
hands over the scroll
Be careful, this might be the only clue we have to prevent the apocalypse...
We both look at the ancient text. I recognize some of the symbols as being from my home planet.
Chronos looks up, surprised by your recognition You know these symbols? Where from?
