"That\'s the way to my temple, James," Nyx replied, and James swallowed, averting his eyes from Nyx.

"May I speak with you and Master Moros, please? In private."

As soon as James uttered these words, Nyx gave an order to all the gods to leave with his hand and only Nyx and Moros himself remained in the area, the two higher beings looking at James and wondering what was going on.

"Is something wrong, James?" Moros asked suddenly, seeming to be getting worried.

James, upon hearing this question, said the following words.

"I\'m not sure, but it has something to do with the Philosopher\'s Stone..."

As James uttered these words, both Nyx and Moros looked at each other, and then Moros turned to James and asked, "Did you see the future?"

Hearing this, James asked, as if he didn\'t know, "According to the Philosopher\'s Stone, yes, but I don\'t know what\'s going on, can I see the temple?"

The two holy beings nodded as they heard those words, Nyx grabbed James\' arm and in just two seconds the trio appeared in front of the temple.

James was looking around. The Philosopher\'s Stone had shown him the torture chamber, but it had been entered incredibly quickly, so James had seen very little of the path.

He had seen so little that it could only be called a recollection.

Incredibly colourful flowers had withered in the future James saw, trees had lost their leaves and some trees had even been cut down.

As he walked towards the temple, he saw that everything was spotlessly clean, and then he pushed the doors of the temple and went inside.

Inside the temple was a huge statue of Nyx, and when James saw the statue, the worry in his heart suddenly seemed to disappear.

"Have I ever told you how beautiful you are, Lady Nyx?" James suddenly said, even though Nyx was standing next to him in the flesh, he was so excited that he had never opened his mouth about it until now.

Nyx smiled when she heard those words and hugged James, kissing him on the forehead as a thank you.

James looked around, it was clear that what he was seeing was not a torture chamber, what he was seeing were Chaos-Born imprisoned and even killed in front of the destroyed statue of Nyx.

"Now, I must tell you what happened---"

James was about to get to the point when suddenly another figure entered the temple, James looked at the clothes of the intruder and suddenly realised who it was.

"Don\'t even think about telling what happened kid."

The person who had entered was Chronos himself and he was looking at James in a very angry manner.

"Chronos?" Chronos didn\'t even pay him any mind when Nyx said the old man\'s name in surprise, he just walked over to James and then said, "What the hell do you think you\'re doing trying to tell them about your possible future self?"

Nyx and Moros seemed to be trying to figure out what was going on, and Nyx suddenly realised what was going on as she stroked her forehead with her hand and said, "You were going to break the timeline."

Moros shook his head at his mother\'s words and said, "James, you can\'t do that unless it\'s the gods of fate or time itself," and it was clear that Moros understood what was going on.

James glanced at the trio with a puzzled look and waved his hands as if he didn\'t understand what was going on.

Chronos seemed very disappointed that the boy in front of him was so clever and yet so stupid.

"Look, young man, I will explain it to you as simply as possible. Time is a line, every action you take moves along this line, in your world people call this pure fate. There are two ways out of this mystical phenomenon, one is to know your destiny and tell other people about it, and the other is to know the future and tell people about it."

When Chronos said these words, James held himself for a few seconds and then asked, "So, should I just keep what I know? Does time work the same in our world or is this something special to this idiot tower?"

Chronos shook his head and said, "Yes, it is indeed something special to the tower. Look, young man, it is dangerous to play with time, it is dangerous to play with destiny, that is why Moros and the Moirai are so powerful. Even they can\'t make major changes to the concept of destiny, but a slug on the tenth floor can\'t do anything."

James didn\'t understand anything, he sat on the floor of the temple and then took a deep breath and let it out, he still had a lot of confusion in his mind, the fact that he didn\'t have a clear idea of what was going on was what scared him.

"So I\'m just going to wait? I\'m just supposed to accept the possible future?" he suddenly asked.

A mistake James almost made may have been the precursor to the realisation of that future. The fact that Chronos had stopped him in his tracks had indeed been a bigger help than he had expected.

James had never felt so stupid in his life, and even though he didn\'t really understand what was going on, he could tell by the expressions on Nyx and Moros\' faces that he had almost screwed up.

Chronos\' answer was something that made him think a lot, but it was quite true:

"Kid, you can pass the time but remember you will never be able to stop it, you do not have the power, even I don\'t and I am practically the time itself."
