Another second passed and the view changed, the figure of that man had disappeared to become a simple old man, a long white beard, as well as his hair, was visible to the naked eye and, although that overwhelming sensation was no longer felt, that old man conveyed a sense of wisdom that could only be formed through living thousands and thousands of years.
After only showing that form for the duration of one breath, the old man underwent a new change, although some vitality and health could still be seen in him before, now on the site was only a gaunt and weak figure, it was a sight where anyone could tell that that old man had already lived for an untold time and was only a breath away from reaching his end, but despite the state he was in, a new stronger and more mystical sensation was coming out of his body at the same time that anyone who saw that old man could only compare that feeling that he transmitted with something they could not understand.
But as a sequence, that figure didn't last long before disappearing causing it to be replaced by something else, this time it was a more peculiar and strange sight, you couldn't tell that someone was right there, the hair, muscles and the same shape of the old man were left behind and in their place was left something that was simple to describe...
A skeleton. Only one skeleton remained in the same place, it was noticeable that it did not give off even the slightest sensation of being alive, it seemed to be just an object left in the deep emptiness without any purpose, but, even so, that simple skeleton had not left the pose meditation in no time as a glow continually appeared in the empty sockets of his skull.
Perhaps all this phenomenon lasted less than a few seconds, but unlike what one would think, the time outside that space was incalculable, the energy given off by that thread entered that skeleton without rest giving the sensation that something was separated all this time was about to be reborn.
It is not really known how long it lasted, seconds, minutes, even thousands of years, but little by little all the energy was disappearing and it was part of that skeleton causing it to take on a gray glow while never leaving the same pose in which it was. After all that, it came to the point where that skeleton seemed to wake up, it stood up the way it could and saw the gray thread still floating in front of it, it took a step and as a result of that, the skeleton disappeared while the muscles, hair and other features showed that emaciated old man again while something came out of his mouth.
"The beginning and the end..." It was obvious that this elderly figure was still the same Blake we knew, but it was still a unique sight to see the situation he was going through.
Only the words he said at that time seemed to carry a totally hidden meaning as if the meaning of life was being explained by the same being who is above all. After saying that, another step was enough for the gaunt old man to change back to the form where he still rested with a healthy complexion and new words were heard from him.
"Everything is subjected to that endless cycle..." At that moment, the space seemed to stop, even the slightest fluctuation of energy was unable to escape and the only thing that dominated in that place was the figure of that old man who did not stop not for an instant and took another step while the same situation was repeated.
Again, the form of that older man had appeared making him seem the center of everything while his words echoed throughout the place.
"Even the gods can only submit to it and accept their fate..." Every sentence he said seemed to affect the very existence of that place, all of the above did not compare to what was happening at that moment, the elements that were in each different thread had stopped fighting and were just waiting patiently for the outcome of everything while the figure of that man got closer and closer to that gray thread as if it were something natural.
One step, just one step, and that man was totally rejuvenated, long golden hair fell down his shoulders while his gaze and aura were totally focused on his goal, he only needed one step and he would be able to touch that thread, but before that, new words were thrown into the void by him.
"Nothing is eternal... Except him, and everyone knows him in the same way..." It was simpler than one would think, that last step did not cause anything strange or surprising phenomenon, but the moment Blake raised his arm, that gray thread expelled chaotic energy, and the space around him was broken, any element no matter how small it was disappeared from the place at the same time that the gray thread began to float as if it were an ancient dragon dominating the sky.
Blake didn't seem to be surprised; his face was incredibly calm without worrying that something could harm him as he watched everything that happened at the same time that changes seemed to occur in the peculiar thread.
Blake was returning to his original form and the gray thread seemed to roar as the light it emitted covered all the darkness of the place, its size changed totally from the length of an arm until it became even deeper and endless than the other threads, the energy it gave off was enough to make them ashamed of themselves and anything that tried to enter in the gray thread domain was going to be destroyed in less than a breath, but this did not affect Blake in the least, he changed his form little by little until he was the same as at the beginning and the last word that seemed to be in his mind came out as if he were the lord of that domain giving an unstoppable sentence.
"And that name is... Time." Just with that simple word the world around him calmed down, and all the previous chaos stopped as if it were an order at the same time that the gray thread became the only sovereign over all the others, striving to nurture Blake with all of its being thus forming the same feeling present in the depths of anyone who saw that scene... He was the only one… He was the only one who ruled over the entire existence of that place!
