Warmth

"How...how is this possible?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Aria shrugged. "The ways of the world are strange and unknowable. But we believe that you have been given a second chance, a chance to live and learn and grow. And we are willing to help you, if you are willing to help us in return."

Kael felt a sense of gratitude towards Aria and her people, and he knew that he had no choice but to accept their offer. He was a stranger in a strange land, and he needed their protection and guidance if he was going to survive.

"I...I'll do whatever it takes," he said, his voice stronger now.

Aria smiled, a brief glimmer of warmth in her otherwise stern expression. "Good. Then we have much to teach you, young wanderer. Much to show you about this world, and the ways in which you can make your mark upon it."

And so began Kael's journey into the past, into a world that was both harsh and beautiful, filled with danger and wonder. He learned how to hunt, how to track game through the forest, how to make tools and weapons from the bones and hides of animals. He learned the language of his new people, their customs and traditions, and he quickly became a valued member of Aria's clan.

But even as he adapted to this new life, Kael could not forget the strange power that had brought him here. He knew that he was different, somehow, that he possessed a gift that no one else in this world could understand.

And as he lived and learned and grew, he realized that with this gift came a great responsibility. For he was no longer just Kael, a boy from the future. He was now an Eternal Wanderer, a being who had been granted a second chance at life, a chance to make a difference in the world.

And so, with this knowledge burning in his heart, Kael set out on a journey that would take him across the ages, through the pages of human history. He would live many lives, in many different times and places, always searching for the answers to the questions that burned within him.
