"You…"
Alden's expression immediately turned grim.
His whole body was tense, caught-off guard by the sudden development.
The corner of his future self's lips curled slightly.
Alden inhaled deeply, calming his nerves. He schooled his expression, donning a neutral mask. As he did so, he scrutinised his other self carefully. Alden's future self lay there, shackled, with his back to the wall.
He had a gaunt figure, with unkempt dirty-white hair.
Thick, sturdy chains held him in place.
Interestingly, though…
One was now missing.
Alden recalled his first visit to the Citadel of Genesis. Back then, there had been 5 chains restraining his future self - one for each limb, and one for his neck.
…The latter was gone.
What did that mean?
And how did it disappear?
More importantly, though, was it the reason his other self was now awake?
