Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 31: Rethink

Avion Teller had absolute control of time, if he chooses to stop time forever, he could do it without any effort. Not only that but he can also revert time before anything had already happened.

However, even with this power, he doesn't have enough sanity to spare. Avion was not tough nor strong. He was not tempered to endure any pain. He was just oblivious and playful.

If anything else, he would use the time to revert his wound and would almost not feel pain. He was also pampered by the world and by his power. Avion was soft and weak, how could he endure dying for the second time, now more brutal?

The memories of his first death were already repressed deep within his unconscious, never having the intention to retrieve it anytime sooner.

But now, he experienced it once again. Memories of his first death flooded into his already traumatized mind.

Avion's jaw shivered as he was unable to contain his tears.

No matter how powerful he is at using time and that he would never die since he can turn back time at the slightest thought, by only using thoughts and he could control the time at such height, but will he still sane each time?

What if, his mind was destroyed and he was unable to think any further? Even though he wouldn't die, he would still experience death multiple times. Wouldn't that destroy his mind?

As a human being, no, as a living being, preserving one own's life is the top priority. It was physically impossible to be inured to death. Being inured to death means that one had already died from the inside. It wouldn't be called living anymore.

Either Avion will turn insane or he had to endure the fear and terror of death every single time. No, there should be one more choice. It was to escape death, or at the very least, know when to revert time when he was about to die.

But Avion does not have the power of being an Elementalist. A second of his is a minute to them. If he will get into that situation, again and again, there would be times that he will make a mistake and experience death once again...

"Why did I do that...?"

After minutes, maybe already an hour, Avion had his red eyes, it was almost lifeless.

From the history books that he read, he knew that Kings should be respected, but for him, he thought that regardless if they were a King or not, if they provoked him, he shouldn't back down.

He is the son of the only Lord Sorcerer of Time, once the Ruler of the whole Universe not just not this world, especially not just one Kingdom in a small country. Avion thought that no matter who it is, he was higher than them.

But he realized he was too cocky. After all, he was not the Lord Sorcerer of Time, he was not the Ruler of the whole Universe, he was just the pampered son.

Silently, Avion stood up and dusted himself off. He looked at the front door and headed out.

There, he saw the main road, if it were only not colorless, he would have seen its beauty. Avion was about to escape from all of this and rest for a while. However, something stopped his track.

And what he saw next was something huge!

It was not really that big but if compared to its own kind, it was.

He saw, just outside the Royal Mansion, the Igelious that the King and Queen used to travel there with such speed, covering hundreds of kilometers in just a few hours.

Avion looked at it with no fear. Time had stopped and he was confident about that. It would be considered dumb to unintentionally resume the flux of time. As long as he doesn't have any intention, there was no problem.

"This is like a big eagle," Avion observed, recovering his spirits. To see something like a mythical creature made him excited.

His expressionless and lifeless face began to have color.

"Haha..." he lightly laughed as he touched its feather, but it was prickly since it was hard as stone if time is stopped.

Eventually, Avion's bright smile went back as he looked at the eagle twice as large as him, with a longer neck. He had no idea what the hue of its color was but observing from its black and white, it seemed to have a dark color.

"Cool..." Avion whispered with half-opened eyes.

Furthermore, looking at its back, it has some sort of saddle which intrigued him more. If there was a saddle, it was rideable!

"So this is a pet!?" Avion's face became brighter. Imagining how he could ride this and fly in the sky was giving him shivers. If he could get one of these, he would be happy to receive and take care of it.

But after observing for a while, Avion paused and looked around it. After a moment, he realized, "Isn't this an Igelious?"

Avion's mind was still hazy and after seeing this Igelious, his mind was still out of his body. However, after a little while, he felt dumb not to realize what it was.

From the history books that he read, there was his favorite part which was the monster index. He always fantasized about seeing it in person, but of course, at a safe distance. He knew everything about this monster.

"Rank Cee Wind Elemental Monster, Igelious..." he began to retrieve knowledge from his memories, "Had sharp eyes and can fly almost twice as much as a normal Golden Eagle, but looking at it, this Igelious is still relatively young so maybe it can only reach the maximum speed of the Golden Eagle. It is strictly carnivorous and is on the top of the food chain, well, from Rank Cee and below..." it was as if he was escaping reality and came back to the time he was reading his books in peace.

"In handling them, one should never frighten them. Be gentle as possible and after a month, they will treat you as their master." with Avion's deep knowledge, he could easily tame this Igelious and snatch it from its owner. However, it would take time, and doing it right now is just plain stupid.

Avion reluctantly turned around from the monster he desires. If he could see one in the wild, he will follow it to its nest and would tame it.

But right now, he wanted to disappear and think.
