"So I wasn't mistaken. You really could see me, and here I thought I was looking at a memory"
The sage shook his head at Noah as he replied.
"I wasn't expecting a happy or worshiping response form you but isn't it odd those are the first words you'd speak to me"
They both stared at each other in silence before Noah bowed politely towards the old sage.
"Pardon my attitude, I pay respects to you Sir...."
"Keith, just call me Keith. And you can get up, our time here is limited. I just wanted to personally meet the one that dictated the flow of our world personally"
Noah remained silent as he watched the old sage. He had a lot of questions, about who the old sage really was, why he helped them, what he gained from all this, but he knew the questions would be answered.
"So the good news you survived, both of you"
Keith finally broke the silence
"Really?"
"Yeah, you can take a look"
