'Even if I'm locked up for this , what I have done will save more people then you've seen' he finished and continued in his evil demeanor.' We'll see about that' Culis refuted while dragging him through a time vortex.All his immediate future selves merged with him and they finally made it to the present.
Mr. Teline was escorted to prison but not before he was slapped several times by his wife. Culis left, meandering his way through the crowd that had gathered because of the commotion. He almost steered clear of them when he felt a frail hand grab his wrist. He turned and saw an old Sinuan woman looking up at him.
'I have something to tell you' she simply said and walked away. Culis hesitated for a moment before following her. He silently followed her through the town to a small wooden house, close to the outskirts of the town.She opened the door and motioned for him to go in . Culis went in and she followed after him.
She clapped her hands and the door closed behind her which gave him a startle.A chair then moved independently towards him and the old lady commanded him to sit down, which he did obediently. She moved closer to him ,taking his hand and looking into it as if she could read his palms.
'Timestellar, from your loins shall rise an heir to your power . He will be more powerful than you, he will be the most powerful in the whole cosmos. With the power to move time and space in itself, he will bring harmony...but...he can be the source of mass destruction if he is corrupted in any way and the darkness inside you,will leave you,its master to steal that power' she told him.
'I'm sorry but you must be mistaken somehow, I won't have any child in the future' Culis explained. 'That isn't up to you young man' she said.
'You are destined to fall for a stray princess who will fall right in your arms and will be stripped of all her title.She will bear a son for you but you won't be there to watch him grow. You will be given the opportunity but as the years go by,so will your darkness grow and eventually consume you'.
'But I can stop it can't I' he asked. 'You can try all you want, but you will surely fail. If your darkness gets a hold of your son, the only one who can stop him is his bond. "
" How? ".' When the time is ripe, you will see" she said and vanished in the blink of an eye. Culis was taken aback as he found himself back in the market...the old woman, gone with the wind.
....
Years passed and Culis immersed himself in his duties as protector of time and space. He took time off one day, spending it in a bar. He sat in the corner as usual simply observing people display their extravagance. Their robot butlers handling all trandactions while they made merry like kings.
Culis left the bar and headed towards no particular direction when he felt someone following him, he turned and saw a hooded figure flee his line of sight in a split second.
He didn't think to follow the person and simply teleported to the forest. He walked a diatnce into the thick vegetation and emerged out before a wide open field,his house, sitting atop a hill. Anyone could tell how wealthy he was just by looking at the size of his mansion.
He walked further towards the house, first crossing a bridge then his garden when he felt it again...the presence following him. He kept his calm and continued in his steps till he was almost to the threshold of the mansion, then he swung himself swiftly, releasing his whip in the process.
The whip immediately wrapped around the figure, a loud gasp escaping their lips. He pulled the rope drawing the figure closer to himself but was met with quite a struggle as the figure tossed and tried to break free.
Culis came closer and removed the hood covering the figure's face and froze in awe.
Before him was the most beautiful woman he'd ever laid eyes on. Silky white hair, a delicate face, porcelain skin and deadly grey eyes.
"Let me go at once" she demanded suddenly, snapping Culis out of his trance. "If you can talk this boldy why didn't you simply approach me directly?" Culis questioned " I'd have to consider this as attempted theft then" he continued.
"I-It's not like that... I have my reasons" she stammered suddenly, her bold demeanor slowly fading. "And what might that be?" he asked, his grip on the rope getting tighter. She stared him down for a good long while before swinging her head to the side, a pout on her lips.
Culis was surprised at her reaction but didn't show it. He gave a devilish smirk and stood up from his crouching position.
"Since you refuse to speak, I shall keep you as my prisoner and wait for the police to arrive and see what they do with you... Unless you change your mind"
"What?!Wait!! You can't do that. You dot know who I am" she began to protest
"More reason to detain you don't you think?" her eyes went wide at his response. " My brother's will come looking for me and that'll be a lot of trouble"
"Then let's wait for them shall we" Culis replied totally unbothered. He could see frustration and anxiety start to show on her face. "My brothers are the sons of king Jarin, ruler of Mount Gale" she said
"So you're royalty.... How interesting. If I may ask then, is it a norm for Royals to follow people to their homes where you come from then use your status ad an excuse to do so? "Culis said with a serious expression.
The woman's words seemed to be stuck in her throat as she couldn't say a word to defend herself.
