Confession

Chron: "I have something to tell you."

Old man: "Huh? I'm listening."

C: "I'm not sure if I will be able to stay here for so long."

O: "You want to return so fast so badly?"

C: "No, that's not it. The one that brought me here said that I will be able to stay here only for few months."

O: "Oh, you are talking about this. Don't worry. He must have said also something about extending this time, right?"

C: "Y-yes, I remember hearing something like this. By the way, how are you able to tell the gender of that person so easily? I have never said that it was "he" and also I personally don't know about it due to the voice being somehow robotic-like."

O: "Heh. You will know a lot of things if you will live for a long time."

C: "How old must I be to acquire such wisdom?"

O: "What do you mean?"

C: "I will put it simple. How old are you gramps?"

O: "10k years old."

C: "10 years old?"

O: "10 thousands, you idiot!"

C: "That may make sense. I mean you know a lot about magic or people like the one that rescued me.

Now I wonder, who is stronger? You, the guy that rescued me or that dragon?"

O: "Fufufu, it's secret."

C: "You old man!"

O: "Going back to what we were talking about before. I can lend you my energy and because of it you will be able to stay here longer. Want me to do it?"

C: "Of course I want."

O: "Then take it."

Old man put his hand on Chron's shoulder. Moment later Chron was lying on the floor.
