[Jevan perspective]
Several days had passed and I was still stuck beside little Jevan. I hadn't been able to return to the present yet. Did this happen because I realized it wasn't a dream? Or was this the ridiculous price for making that wish?
But isn't that a bit too much? Well, if I think about it, no, it's not. I literally broke the barrier of time and space just to land a few punches on some bastards' faces. I knew my Authority would demand a price. Every time I tried using it, I'd end up sprawled on the ground, unconscious.
Still, I didn't feel regret. It was annoying that little Jeven's body would get hurt, and that pain would carry over to my current body. I didn't want to end up one eyed just because someone decided to rob him when he was seven.
And now, what next? How do I get back? I considered testing a wish, "I want to return," but quickly changed my mind. I had no idea what kind of price I'd have to pay for that. So I kept that plan as a last resort.
