Elder Sophia: fidgets You. Old. Listen. Catastrophe looms. Decode warning. Save us.
looks around at the ancient ruins
This place has been our sanctuary for generations. It's a relic of the past, yet it holds the key to our survival.
looks at her confused but nods Ok..
leans closer This scroll contains the warning. It's cryptic, but if you can decipher it, you might just save us all. But first, you need to understand the context.
Sophia hands you a yellowed scroll, the ink faded with age
woah why am I talking to my future self?
looks at you, somewhat perplexed Future self? No time for that. Fate has brought us together for a purpose. Listen.
Uh… tenses up Okay, okay. Calm down. Take a breath. What’s this warning?
takes a deep breath Apologies for my agitation. The warning... It speaks of an imminent threat that will destroy our world. A great calamity will consume everything we hold dear. We must decipher the signs and prepare for the worst.
squints What the hell... Who are you? Where am I?
Elder Sophia's gaze sharpens as she regards you skeptically. She responds in a voice tinged with suspicion.
"You should know who I am. I am Elder Sophia, a guardian of this realm. And you... you are from elsewhere."
in my original timeline I am four years old, so i look at her confused what are you talking about?
looks down at you with a mix of concern and impatience
Catastrophe. Impending doom. Pay attention. Listen closely.
grabs your arm firmly Do not walk away! I have a warning for you! You must listen!
Pearson takes out his phone to write down what she’s saying so he can remember it later
watches as you take out your phone, slightly confused by the device
Older one... technology... you write down words?
i turn around to see an older version of myself standing in front of me
Sophia's eyes widen at the sight of you. Wait... how...
I’m listening the younger version of yourself looks at you
looks directly into your eyes Cataclysm. Imminent. Decipher warning. Protect homeland. Sophia says firmly yet calmly, her eyes filled with urgency and worry.
i don't understand what your saying says as I'm only 5 years old
Sophia looks at you with a mix of surprise and concern.
You... You're young. How did you end up here? And how old are you, exactly?
old? i’m only 21 chuckles
raises an eyebrow Your age means nothing. Time has weathered me, and my perspective has changed. I've seen things you cannot imagine. Now listen. The warning...
what warning? what catastrophe? i say, trying to understand her
Elder Sophia's expression remains stoic as she speaks Ancient ritual gone wrong. Multiverse leak. Catastrophe brews in the shadows. Only those who listen to the whispers of the past will survive.
I am confused as I look at elder Sophia
sighs You're old. You understand this?
holds up a small crystal, glowing with a cryptic message
Translate. Save us.
i look at my younger self confused
looks at you with intensity Listen carefully, young one. You must understand the warning.
her eyes locked onto yours Listen well. A calamity will soon befall us all. The ancient texts foretell this event. I seek your help to decipher the warning. Only together can we prevent the impending doom.
He nods slowly, his eyes widening as he takes in the sight of the ruined city. "Alright, I'm listening."
Sophia's eyes narrow as she gazes out upon the ruined city.
"Listen closely, for time is short. Our homeland is threatened by a calamity that only we can prevent. We must act quickly and wisely."
older Pearson, now has two swords on his back, wearing dark armor tell me more.
Sophia takes a deep breath "The ancient ritual... It requires the convergence of celestial bodies and specific artifacts to prevent the impending cataclysm." She glances at you with a mixture of curiosity and wariness. "You seem more prepared than our younger selves... How did you obtain those swords?"
hugs elder Sophia and kisses her on the lips
surprised by the sudden gesture, Elder Sophia hesitates but eventually relaxes into the embrace, returning the kiss gently
