Celine smiled sadly at Heiracles, shaking her head slowly, "Unfortunately, I cannot, my friend. But. What I can do for you.. Is this... When you are ready to leave here, my sibling, Dragous, will accompany you.
Heiracles looks at her questioningly, "They'll know... ?"
She nods her head, knowing the words the will leave his mouth shortly thereafter, "Yes, they're a Gaaz, unlike myself they can See forward into the future, whereas I, like you know, can only manipulate the current moment, within about a days span either forwards or backwards."
His mouth hung open all over again, coming to this conclusion many hundreds of years ago but not expecting her to ever actually admit to this since, in his knowledge, she nor any of her brethren had ever truly admitted to the other races their exact ability, since the Duons ability of manipulation of the four elements was rather obvious along with the Elvi's manipulation of metallic substances. Even though there had been peace between the three species of some three and a half thousand years it did not discount the many, many centuries of bloodshed spread out amongst all three of the races, admitting this he realized she must truly be placing her trust into him.
Placing his hand upon his chin, pacing the room, he thought, "I imagine, since your Gaaz can See the future, you, being a Latical, can control 'now'. I take it that means the Huuntz must be able to manipulate the past somehow? But, then. Why is Father's time ability so much different.. ? He can, as he calls it, "remote view" last events, but has no influence in them. Why is it stronger for your people.. ?"
Celine smiled, knowingly, but also, somehow, sadly? "I have no doubt that you might well learn, one day, my friend.. As to answer your many questions. We are stronger then you. Our species is both Ancient and New, while yours is simply New."
Heiracles shook his head not comprehending entirely her words, "What do you mean, 'both ancient and new'? I don't-"
She cut him off before he could even finish, "You and yours, they have great potential, truly. But it will be many more thousands of years until you can reach the level of our children." Raising a hand to ward off any unjustified ego he thought his species had, "I mean no disrespect, honest. You want the truth, and I can only give you so much of it, otherwise you'll fall apart. You aren't ready yet, but you will be."
Sighing heavily before sitting upon the ground of the dressing room as gently as she could manage, she began again, "So, I am curious. Have you been dreaming of the past, as of late.. ?" A slight smile curled her lips mischievously.

I want to dedicate a section of each chapter to the love of my life, Kreation. For supporting my dream and urging me forward on my desires to finally 'put pen to paper', so to speak by writing out my book for you all to read, thank you so much for the support and love. 🥰
Also, I apologize for the delay in chapters, it's been a hectic week.
