Eternals Makkari (633 words)
Gazing at the humanoid figure siting on a throne made of stone I desperately wanted to sigh but remained silent in the end.
The figure shone golden at the edges while its insides are made up of entire galaxies and universes in constant movement to the point that I got dizzy after mere seconds of focusing on what's going on.
"I can see that you are already aware of what going to happen so Im going to be court. I am what you should know as the one above all and you will be transmigrated into the body of Makkari one of the eternals sent to earth. Your mission aside from the one assigned to you by the celestial Arishem is to acquire a certain gauntlet, the completed one, and cause an event well known to you instead of the mad titan." The being, or one above all, aid, each word causing my mental frown to deepen and eyes to narrow.
'The mission from Arishem? Do I have to support Ikaris in stopping the other eternals from killing Tiamat? And why do I have to be the one executing the snap instead of Thanos?' Confused at the possible purpose and reasoning for his orders I stay silent as multiple ideas rush through my head only to be discared immediate.
In the end I couldn't hold in the sigh anymore and once again focused on the figure made up of galaxies.
"Why? Do I get something out of this? What happens if I refuse or fail?" In preparations for his answer I squash all the hope and expectations I could before they could be ruined by this being in front of me.
"Simple, because I want it, you become an immortal being with superpowers and failure will be punished in death, as for refusal? You can't." The words rang clear and firm from his mighty figure and a wave of relief washes over me as I praised myself for my foresightedness.
'Disappointing… well except for the becoming and eternal and gaining superpowers part.' Rubbing my face in order to get rid of my negative view of things… or at least alleviate them a bit, I bubble in the mix of emotions for a while till I reigned them in again and could look at the one above all again.
"With my options as limited as they are what are we waiting for? Let's get this started." Say to the being and without getting an answer I disappeared.
Silence and darkness surround me as memories not belonging to me well up inside my murky mind.
A homely place called Olympia flashes by and a sense of longing spread through my chest and slowly crawl up my neck to my head where it promptly shattered once a fleeting though brushed against it.
'It doesn't exist…'
The fake memories implanted by the celestial Arishme crumble as they clash with firmer ones that are from the perspective of an outsider and show the entire picture instead of the mere bits provided by the celestial.
But even with the fake memories crumbling they left traces on my consciousness changing me ever so slightly from the me in my previous live.
Then the awakening came, and I opened my eyes at a silent command… wait no, it wasn't silent.
Narrowing my eyes at the sight of the good three-meter-tall stature of the red celestial Arishme in the middle of the armory I realize something.
'I am Makkari, doesn't that mean I'm deaf?' As if to confirm my thoughts I feel something traveling trough my entire body, it was so faint but at the same tome so prominent that I was confused.
Instinctively tunring my head in the direction of the source of the feeling permenting my body I lock eyes
