The Great War of Rhodesia

16. Capsule Time Request

"If I may know, what do they say about the future? And do they say from the time when they came, Moorish master?" tanya Nata cut off Luque's question.

"They told me not to tell you too much except the message that was left to you" Moor replied.

"Did they send us a message?" Aksa seemed to be getting a little excited to hear the words.

"true." Moor answered, then turned to Istar. "Try to bring here that thing Miss Istar," he said then gave the order.

"Okay, Leader," Istar replied as she gave a small nod before walking out of the room.

"They said the future might be problematic if information about them is shared too much" Moor said, again starting talks after Istar had completely left the room.

"And as I recall they once said, it can cause Taim Lub and Paradok? I don't know what those words mean. But I remember very well because the words were so strange to hear," he continued.

"Time loop and Paradox? Obviously they are people who understand the terms of our world" said Nata who is increasingly convinced that the people who have come are their descendants.

"So it's true they are most likely our descendants?" asked Aksa who looked weak because he thought of the possibility that he would not be able to return to earth.

But even so, he also felt proud because their descendants went on a time-traveling adventure like he had dreamed so far.

"Are they good people? How old are they?" Luque again asked about the descendants of Aksa and Nata after the two young men stopped asking.

"They're good people. The Narva sisters were 18 and 16 years old. Which is her brother, and which is sister. Then the Morra girl might as well be 18 years old," Moor replied explaining as Istar was later seen entering the room.

The Elf woman carried a wooden box filled with typical carvings of the Azuar Clan all over her side.

"If you think about it like a Time Capsule request," said Aksa who began to look impatient to immediately see the contents.

Istar opened the wooden box and took out a metal that was no more than two fingers of an adult man with a strangely dull black texture. There is also a symbol engraved on one side.

"They told you to leave this to you. I don't know what it means, but they say you'll understand after seeing it" Moor said, handing the strange metal to Nata.

Aksa and Nata were shocked after receiving and closely observing the metal.

"This isn't Carbon-alloy?" Aksa seemed to hardly believe the kind of metal he recognized.

"Looks yes. And this engraved writing is like an equation formula." Nata spoke while paying attention to the part of the symbol engraved on one side.

"really. But what's this emblem?" Aksa pointed to the spiral-like circular stripe on the symbol. "This is clearly a symbol of energy, a symbol of quantity, and a variable symbol of space. But what is this symbol?" he continued later while still trying to figure it out.

"In addition to giving the object, they also advised to show you the method of making Runic and Magic Formations to handle the calamity that will occur in this era." Moor again gave quite surprising information not only to Aksa and Nata, but also everyone in the room.

"What did they say?" Solas was the first to react hearing the Moorish utterance.

"Runic Knowledge?" Rafa heard it.

"What do you mean by dealing with the calamities that will occur in this era?" Yvvone looks like he really needs an explanation.

"Why have you never mentioned this before, Moorish Leader?" ask Kanna later.

"I myself did not know the meaning of that remark until just now. When these two young men arrived," replied the Moor.

"Also there's another reason I never told you about any of this. It was because they forbade me to tell anyone before meeting these two young men.

"Because the future can change and become chaotic when I do," he continued with an explanation.

"Yes, I think it's true. If indeed this is a Time Loop, then we should not create a paradox that might lead to a parallel future" said Aksa responded.

No one understood the words that Aksa had just said.

"No need for Mr. Moor. Let's just go straight. Where to the library?" sahut Aksa who looks impatient.

"There's no need to rush like that, Aks. Forgive the disrespect of this young man, Leader," Val said, this time forbidding Aksa to act in a hurry.

"It was just like the Morra girl" Moor replied with a small smile. "Miss Istar, please call the waiter to escort them to the room. We'll talk about this more at dinner tonight."

"That means we can be sure we will stay in this place longer than planned," Nata said after believing that they will not return within the stipulated time.

"After this I'm going to the Airship to ask them to report to the Rhodesodia region." Lily's initiative.

Before long appeared Elf women who then drove the group to their respective rooms to rest.

Aksa and Nata rest in the same room. While Rafa roomed with Luque and Lily. While Yvvone one room with Kanna, then Val with Solas.

.

"What's the matter, Nat?" aksa asked as she saw Nata staring seriously at the black metal in her handle. Sitting on the bed in their room.

"Sad that we might not be back on Earth again?" continued on with suspicion.

"No. But I was wondering. From what time our descendants come," Nata replied without changing his gaze.

"Why indeed?" asked Aksa who then sat on the rattan chair in front of her best friend.

"Carbon-alloy is a new breakthrough in the world of technology on Earth when we do experiments," said Nata who instead answered his friend's question. "And it's the most important part of the Particle Breaking Machine itself."

"Then?"

"Aren't you aware that this Carbon-alloy's quality is much better than the one on our machine?" Nata asked back while pointing the black metal towards Aksa.

"Indeed. Perhaps these Carbon-alloys are from thousands of years in the future. Where our children and grandchildren can make much better than we have now," replied Aksa trying to provide the possibility that could happen.

"Now I ask again. Do you know how to make that carbon-alloy?" Nata asked Aksa again.

"Not knowing." Aksa answered quickly while shaking her head.

"That's because the Alloy is a new breakthrough when we are on Earth. So no papers or papers issued to the public," he continued later.

"Can? I don't know how to make it either. Then how can this knowledge of Carbon-alloy develop in this world in the future?" Nata explained the meaning of the question.

"Maybe one of our descendants will be a genius who managed to create it really from nothing?" Aksa still thinks that the possibility could have happened.

Nata seemed to be silent thinking about his best friend's words. While still staring at the black metal piece in his hand.

"But most likely, my descendants will. That's because my genes are far superior" Aksa said. It was as if he had forgotten to say that before.

"It's just that I feel awkward with this Carbon-alloy" Nata said later as he put the black metal piece back into the wooden box. And began to lay his body on the bed.

"No need to think about it now. Knowing the formula of the equation engraved in the Carbon-alloy is much more important today" Aksa said later.

"What's more after this is that we'll gain knowledge of the Runic and Magic Formations that we've been wanting for so long" he continued.

"You're right. Right now we need knowledge to be able to balance the power of Alta Larma" Nata said.

"Yes, even though we don't necessarily understand because it's about magic, it's still worth trying. I can't wait" said Aksa, who had begun to imagine it.
