The meeting didn't last long, since I couldn't say the name of the entity that is playing with my body, nor could any of them can be certain. Well... I have my doubts that both Richard and Mimir know something about my situation; something that they are not telling.
When we got back to Richard's office room, I couldn't hold from asking, "You already know what happened to me, even before I went unconscious on Isle of Prisons. In fact, I am sure that this is the whole reason I went to that damned island."
"What reason?" he replied calmly.
"To encounter that... Person. Don't act like you don't know anything, Richard, because you know a lot."
"That's right, I do know what exactly happened with you, and what will happen with you. Actually, I know every word that you say. But like you, I am held back from speaking the truth."
"What will He make me do?" I asked anxiously.
"Many things."
"Are you going to tell me?"
"Of course not. You can ask Mimir, he is not restricted from talking. Well, you can try at least."
Without replying, I stormed out of the room and found Mimir, dangling from the hip of Fárbuati.
"Ah, the cursed kid," he said when he saw me, getting the attention of the big guy. He looked back at me and didn't say anything.
"What will he make me do?" I asked the head.
"Who?"
"You know who, Mimir. Don't play the stupid, you are the Lord of Knowledge. What will he make me DO?!"
The last word went out a bit loud, and was filled with all of my frustration, fear, and anger. I was angry with Richard because he knows everything and yet coldly refused to tell me. And know, the supposed Lord of Knowledge was playing the idiot on me.
Fárbuati seemed interested and got Mimir, held him up and said, "Speak, Head. Tell him what he wants to know, now!"
"Okay okay, don't get angry, both of you!" said Mimir quickly. "Before I say anything, I want to know one thing, Orion, and then you will tell me whether to proceed or not.
"Yes, I do know what will happen, or to be precise, what happened, through an innate technique of mine. But I keep that information for myself, and never speak of them. If I am to tell you now what will he make you do, it won't happen, and the past will change. That's how it works, and if the past is changed, then you might not be born at all, because what happened back then was connected to you would never happen.
"So tell me, do you want to risk it and hear me?"
I am going to be very honest with you, I wasn't sure what to say at all. There was part of me that wanted Mimir to tell me what would happen, and there was another part that wanted him to shut up.
Finally, I made up my mind, "Do not proceed, Mimir. I won't risk it."
"Good, little brother. Be sure that this is the right thing to do."
"For once," said Fárbuati, "the Head is right. Changing the past is a very dangerous thing, and might erase you from existence. Ask someone who has tried."
Reluctantly, I nodded and made my leave. I went to my room and closed the door behind me. I laid down on the bed and started thinking.
Not long after that, someone knocked on the door. "Enter."
The door opened, and Tulip stepped in, running to my side. I have never been so happy to see someone in my entire life than right now. I took her in my arms and hugged her.
I never realized how much I missed Tulip. It hadn't been very long since we parted, but so many things have happened since then.
"Can I enter too?" said an innocent voice as Zi was standing on my doorstep.
All the thoughts left my head instantly and I was happy to be among these two again which caused me to smile broadly.
