Chapter 30 end

After reading my manuscript twice, Saryon suggested that I explain in detail how we "jump the grid" between time, so as not to confuse many readers.Of course, as he said, even if you've been through it yourself, you can't help but be puzzled by it.When Sheila explained it to me later when we settled in the new world, I gradually understood the ins and outs of it.Here, I have edited her description of the changes in time as an appendix at the end of the book. I have previously described the various tribes of the life-forces of Simharon.There were nine such tribes, seven of which were still in that world when Joram was born.And the other two tribes - Time and Soul - have been lost in the Iron Wars.It is believed that all members of these two tribes have died, but this is not the case.Sheila belongs to the seventh tribe - time, and she is also a sage.

The sages of the Tribe of Time have the ability to foresee the future and see through the past. It is said that they are the most likely to observe the will of God. "The future we see isn't the only one," Sheila told me. "In fact, we often see a major road branching off. Mortals can only tread one road at a time—the one they choose." road. Other roads may lead to different futures.” The sages looked into the future and saw Conifer.They saw the final defeat of the Earth Army and the complete erasure of humanity from the universe. "All roads lead to this end," Sheila said, "with one exception. If Joram reaches Merlin's grave on the last night, the last hour, the last minute, the last second, at that second Give the Dark Sword to Merlin, and the greatest of all magicians will cast a spell that will save mankind from extinction, and send the last of them to a new world.

"Unfortunately, every road we can choose leads only to the end. "We don't usually interfere with time, but this time it's a matter of life and death. Humanity has a chance, a hopeless one, that can only be made real by manipulating time - across different timelines. It was a very delicate manipulation, Those involved must be transported from one time to another before dying. And the four of you cannot be aware that you are being manipulated during this change. "It is imperative that the two of you—you, Reuven, and Mosiah—remember experiences from different times, even if it confuses you. Because that's the only way you can use information from one time to another. inside.

"For Eliza and Father Saryon, because the tasks they have to complete are so dangerous, I think they should be kept ignorant of the time change so that they can maintain peace of mind. Unnecessary information may lead to They hesitate at critical moments. Also, their precise positioning of themselves at different times can help you and Mosiah quickly adapt to the time you are in." Sheila smiled at me. "It's best to make the two of you the most confused people." I guess it depends on how you look at the process. This, I believe, explains many of the mysteries in my story.Now I must lay down my manuscript.Because today is my wedding anniversary, Alisa and I have spent a year together in this brave new world.

Her father, Joram, accepted our union, though he still didn't think I was good enough for his daughter.He'll never love me, but I think at least he's starting to like me a little bit now.He said he saw a lot of Father Saryon in me.Every time he said that, he gave that dour smile.So I believe it should be a compliment, at least basically. And Gwendolin gave me the kind of motherly love I never had.She learned sign language and we would have a learning time together every day.She taught me many techniques of using the life force that I needed to know.Mana is so plentiful in our new world that even Catalyst Saints can use it.

Now only Father Saryon and Joram cannot use magic. Joram had never even tried to use magic.Although Gwen and Alyssa have been teasing him with this, encouraging him to give it a try.Joram is very satisfied with his life, which must be the greatest happiness in his life. As for Sheila and Mosiah, they got married almost as soon as we arrived in this new world.Their life is full of fun, exciting, although inevitably a little dangerous.Just as there are dark and shadowed parts of the human heart, there are dark and shadowed parts of the world we create. Father Saryon finally got real relief and satisfaction.He had already elucidated a new theory of relativity, illustrating one of Einstein's mistakes.

As for Simkin, we haven't seen him since we left Simharon. But I always take an extra look at anything orange...
