Ceres
1657 Words
"Let me do a formal introduction first. I am Ceres, your guidance system that provides you with real-time information based on your current stats and what you need to improve on such as your profession, your primary and secondary roles as well as your personal statistics such as health points, mana points and other matters."
"Actually, I only appear during your last leap right after you had regained your consciousness from your comatose state after being discovered in the aftermath of Battle of Qodegh."
"You were brought to a place called Ingmery where you were being treated and nursed back to health by 2 members of the public. These 2 members of the family came from the Keating household, I am not sure if you remember any of those, and from what you had experienced before, you had also begun to embark on kingdom-building efforts again."
"I mentioned again because prior to being in the Keating household, you had, however, managed to perform exceptionally well in your kingdom-building efforts, especially in the economic infrastructure."
"These kingdom-building efforts that you had embarked previously was also part of what you had brought over here in this town, not all but some of the significant ones."
"If I am not mistaken, you were able to harness the technology in the realm of your own plane and make use of the current resources to gain some profits thus enabling you to be able to be self-sufficient in the years ahead before."
"Right now, you had neither had the knowledge of such knowledge that exists within you since you were not yet awakened and now you would be able to gain access to the realm of your plane after you had attained a certain degree in your meditation."
"Oh yeah, by then you would be able to communicate with me via a system window that appears when you summoned them in your mind. It would show all kinds of information that you are required to know and those areas that would be inaccessible to you would definitely be greyed out."
I was a bit befuddled when the voice that addressed herself as Ceres was mentioning that she was a guidance system that would appear as I command. I looked at Heather at my sides and she was taking down some notes that were mentioned by Ceres, the guidance system.
I took a peek and saw Heather had written about Battle of Qodegh, a town of Ingmery, real-time information such as primary and secondary roles, health points and mana points, kingdom building, a realm of the plane and also on meditation.
It was filled with a lot of information that I would be able to digest at the moment but was astounded that nothing was noted of Max and his part of narrations earlier on.
Last but not least, Heather wrote down the word KNOWLEDGE and she circled it several times.
It seems that she was interested to know what had happened to me before and right now she doesn't even recognise her husband sitting beside her as new information was revealed to her in such a manner.
"Ceres, may I ask, what do you mean by a system window? Does that mean only Mars would be able to see it and no one else could?" Heather asked as she tapped the quill on her piece of paper that she had written.
"That's right, a system window would be shown right before Mars and only he could see it. He was able to flip through the pages of information that was set before him just like a reference journal."
"He would be able to swipe the system window across to access the rest of the pages and from there, Mars would be able to access his personal information, his profile, then his battle statistics and other information as well such as what the realm of the plane contains currently."
"The system window that he would be able to see is virtual and would be unlocked once he had reached a certain level of meditation. He would be able to unlock Max first and from there Max would be able to guide Mars in how to further unlock the system window, which coincidently unlocked me as well."
The information was abundant since we had received from Ceres through the Romani Gipsy that was sitting next to Felicity with her hair fiercely billowing around her.
"Alright, so at the meantime, both Max wand you would only be able to communicate through Felicity and by 2 other mediums, so it seems, am I right?"
"So, to recap this, Samuel the Seer had mentioned to me once that I was a reborn and a transmigrator and therefore I had lived several times before in someone's life and soul that I had overtaken before, is that right?"
I asked and Ceres answered affirmatively. Well, I don't have any recollections of being reborn and also travelling from one body to another, living in separate passages of time and as what I recalled, Samuel had mentioned that in the future, there would be communications made through something that was held in their hands and also about metal carriages that moved without a horse.
"Audemars, have you encountered any weird dreams lately in the past weeks before?" Ceres asked through the lady with the billowing hair.
"Uhh... I guess I did. I was somehow brought into the future somewhere in the year 1453 where I witnessed several happenings."
"Also I had travelled back in 1440 too, but there's something that kicked me out from several of the episodes in my dream."
"As I was kicked out from the dreams and travelled to another episode, the one who kicked me said something about me not able to change my fate and destiny but am able to change the present to alter the course of the future."
"Furthermore, back when this town was still a small settlement, I had two weird dreams which I can't put my finger to them. One was me looking at a desolate land before me with dilapidated Jones and barren lands without a single human being alive."
"Then in another dream some days later, I think, I had another dream where I was laid in top of a high platform where the surrounding townfolks were calling the carrion birds to bring me and scatter me all over the lands. One dream I was alive and well and another I was hailed as their leader as I lay dying."
"That happened so long ago and it was dismissed as part of my old ailment that kicked back at me whenever I had a panic attack and faints to the ground. Hmm, does it recount anything of what you need to know?"
I asked and we waited for the lady whose hair was billowing around her to continue speaking.
"The dreams that you had encountered during your fainting spells were not entirely related to what we were about to discuss. Secondly, about you being transported back to the past in 1440 and then thrown to the future in 1453 was part of a premonition of what is going to happen."
"Since it is 11 years in the future, anything could be changed and furthermore, the events that had happened in 1440 before cannot be altered since it had already happened."
"But what you had seen in 1453 as what you had mentioned could be altered since the events had not taken place yet. My advice to you would be to find the person who could aid you to meditate and then you would be able to unlock certain features that I had mentioned and from there you would be on a better path than what you are right now."
"Believe us, Audemars. That's the only way possible. What you had seen in the future could be avoided once you had unlocked yourself from us and then use us to help you along the process that you require in your future kingdom building."
I leaned back in my seat and then I stared hard at what Heather had written in her note of paper before her. It seemed that she was intended to help me find my way through this bizarre chain of events.
Reborn?
Transmigration?
Guidance system?
Holographic image?
Is this some kind of fantasy that had been played out right before us? What about the 2 beings who had appeared before us and taking over Samuel the Seer as well as the lady beside Felicity?
Do I really come from the future and why only now did I being made to realise about the existence of my previous past and distant future?
Am I am immortal?
"Audemars, we've got to go now and we hope to be able to get in touch with you in the near future. At the time being, we would need these two to be able to communicate with you and we would then meet again."
After Ceres had mentioned that, the lady beside Felicity suddenly regained back her usual demeanour and had no billowing of hair anymore.
She slumped back to her seat and was assisted by Felicity the Fortune Teller and Samuel. After some time she had managed to regain consciousness by herself and that leaves me with a big question — how am I going to perceive all this?
