I created Magic!

"Of course, who else can achieve such a feat apart from yours truly!"

With a voice full of pride, his future self boasted casually about sealing an era.

Hearing this from his future self, the little goblin couldn't help but be left speechless.

However, he didn't ask how he did it or why since he already knew the answer he'd receive

I can't tell you!

"Hey past me, it seems like the time is up."

"Just like you saw in the current river, after this go take a look at the next one, some strange scenes would pop up."

"And like you might have already guessed it, since the first was destiny, and this one is time, then the next one is obviously history."

"However, be prepared for this one is the most dangerous."

"Unlike now that you have my help if you accidentally spot any taboos in it, then…."

Although his future self didn't complete it, but the goblin already knew what he meant.

Seeing any more taboos, he was sure what he would experience next would be worse than bleeding from his eyes.

Thinking of this, in a low tone the goblin took a deep breath as he replied to the worries of his future self.

"Sigh… I understand what you mean, I promise to be extra careful this time"

Hearing his past self being so sensible, his future self continued speaking

"Alright, after all, if you die here, I here in the future would most likely disappear"

"So if neither of us wants to encounter any problems, then you should seriously listen to m-"

"Ack!"

Unfortunately, just when his future self was about to continue dealing, he suddenly shouted as he was experiencing some sort of agony.

"Damn! What happened?"

"Hey me from the future, are you still there?"

Calling out in panic the little goblin in the past didn't hide his worries as his voice resounded throughout the whole cave.

Thankful, he died to have to worry as he quickly heard a reply

*Cough cough*

*Relax, how could the me of the past get so flustered?"

"It's just a little backlash on my end for talking upstream, sometimes the river time can be really annoying you know?"

Coughing slightly, the voice sounded mocking his last self.

Unfortunately with his words, a clear sense of weakness could be heard in his tone.

Obviously, the 'little backlash' he talked about wasn't so little.

Seeing this, the goblin in the last couldn't say anything as judging from his future self's reaction, no matter how much he asked he would answer.

Realising this fact, he could only wait for his future self to continue what he was saying earlier.

Thinking of the seriousness in his future self's voice back then, the goblin knew his next words would be very important to him later on.

And sure enough, they were. Just after taking a few minutes to rest, his future self finally finished the last part of his sentence.

"Like I was saying, "

"So if neither of us wants to encounter any problems, then you should seriously listen to me"

Emphasising on the words 'seriously listen', his future self continued talking.

"After taking a look at all three rivers, each would offer you a chance to drink them to inherit a bit of their power and do certain roles for them."

"Remember this, do not drink more than a handful from any lake. If not…."

"Well, let's just say you don't want to imagine.'

"And remember, you must not drink one and ignore the other. All three have a synergy and flow which they interconnect."

"Taking one for more than thirty seconds without taking the other would result in an automatic death."

"Taking only two would increase your life Bart to sixty seconds before death. It is only after tasting all three that can you be truly safe and free from hidden danger."

"Not only that, after tasting all three you would receive abilities related to all three rivers!"

Listening to his future self-talk, the small goblin's mind was blown.

Hearing that he had the chance to inherit a power from the three most mysterious rivers in the whole of Elias, the goblin who had always wanted to be strong found his emotion skyrocketing upwards.

Thinking of how strong he became later to be able to seal a whole era, he was sure that a huge part of his strength must have come from these rivers before him.

With this in mind, he couldn't wait to take a quick look at the last river before taking a sip of all three of them.

*Cough- cough*

Unfortunately, just before the goblin could spring into action, the cough of his future vice came again. Most likely it was time to go.

*Cough- cough*

"Haha Goodbye past me, it was nice talking to myself for once and getting a reply"

Talking to himself, the voice cracked a joke as it was gradually fading away

Soon the time passed, and before the goblin knew it his future voice had almost dissipated with the sound of his laughter growing weaker every second.

However, it wasn't until the last second that as sir breaking some sort of barrier a shout came from the voice

"Hey past me, don't be like me in the future."

"For whatever reason, unless you want to experience a huge calamity, don't let anyone know that you saw or drank from these legendary rivers after leaving"

"Oh and you must remember this, do not trust the Gods!"

Exhausting his energy, his future voice completely disappeared after giving that advice.

Seeing this, the goblin couldn't help but sigh.

Now he was cold and alone with only the sound of the three rivers flowing from time to time stopping the surroundings from falling into complete silence.

Feeling the down atmosphere, the goblin had no choice but to take a deep breath ready to see what the last river had in store for him before drinking it

"Hopefully, it wouldn't be a taboo or anything"

Giving a nervous laugh, the goblin's gaze slowly turned to look deep into the river of history.
