Just One Second

A year passed since their first lesson. Arthur became accustomed to the quiet man's demeanor, and began appreciating the wisdom he imparted. However, a question nagged him, and Arthur made it known.

"When am I going to leave this place?"

"As I have told you before, leaving the prison of patience is something that I have achieved after countless time. It was one of the weapons used against me in the final battle against Devaheim."

Ragnar answered him for the umpteenth time. He did not seem bothered or annoyed by his constant questions. If anything, Ragnar answered each of them more than Arthur felt he deserved. If he was instead of the man, he would have flipped a table or two out of pure rage.

Arthur could not be blamed for his impatience, either. He was still fighting Deluge who was attempting to sacrifice Kera. Even though Ragnar assured him that time flowed differently here, Arthur could not rest easy.
