Achilles remained in a daze for a few long seconds after returning from the Time Vision. His golden purple irises flickered, still catching the memory of the radiant eyes that had looked back at him. Rose, ever perceptive, sat upright with a look of concern drawn across her features.
"What did you see?" she asked gently, her voice a soft thread pulling him from the silent tremor of awe and ridiculousness that he just witnessed.
He didn't answer immediately. His gaze, heavy with something deeper than words, shifted down to her belly. His hand rose and hovered there, not quite touching, as if the memory of what he saw was that unbelievable!
Was this due to the Adrastia Emperor King Lineage, or due to how terrifying the child in the belly was bound to become?
He did not know the answer as he replied to Rose.
"I saw… her," he finally said.
Rose's eyebrows arched as she tilted her head slightly. "Her?"
He nodded once.
