Sunny and Nephis forgot about the food, the wine, and the tea.
The eerie stillness, the silence, the dead emptiness of it all… was the doing of a human? Of a Supreme born from the River People?
"How?"
It was only recently that Nephis said that they did not understand the divine sorcery of Ariel, the Demon of Dread, and therefore could not know how the Great River had been brought to a halt.
And yet, Cronos seemed to have figured it out.
Ananke chuckled.
"That, I cannot answer. I knew Cronos better than most, but even I did not know what was going on in his head. At times, it seemed like no one did, not even Cronos himself. His brilliant mind was full of the past, the present, and the future. Things that had already happened to the rest of us were a mystery to him, at times, and things that were yet to happen were like a distant memory. His ideas were always outrageous, and things that everyone considered impossible were often nothing but a fascinating puzzle to him."
