It was early morning when Bloom discovered it. Inside the sealed vault beneath the guild—next to the container holding the Void Seeds—stood a blade unlike any they'd seen before.
Long, obsidian-edged with a core of shimmering silver, its hilt bore engravings only visible under Julius's magic: temporal glyphs.
"What the hell…" Julius muttered, his hand hovering over it.
Solas examined it carefully. "This sword shouldn't exist."
"It has your magical imprint," Bloom added, holding up a detection crystal. "But… you never made this, did you?"
Julius shook his head.
Then the blade pulsed—once. A ripple of time spread through the vault, and visions flooded Julius's mind.
He stood on a battlefield beneath a red sky. A version of himself, older, scarred, was wielding this blade… against a godlike figure cloaked in stars.
When the vision ended, Julius staggered back, clutching the wall.
"It's from a possible future," he whispered. "From me… but not me."
Kairon nodded grimly. "A memory from a timeline that never happened… or hasn't happened yet."
That night, Julius meditated in the vault. When he touched the sword again, the blade spoke—not with words, but through intent.
"I am Entropis. The Chronoblade. Born in erasure. Forged to undo gods."
With Solas's help, Julius stabilized the blade's energy and sealed it into a special scabbard linked to the Chronos Sigil.
But the questions remained:
Why was it here?
Who sent it back?
What was the god it was meant to slay?
The answers, it seemed, would lie beyond Earthland…
