Akal

295
In the realm of Chronoria, where time flowed like a river through the cosmos, there existed a god named Akal. Born from the primordial currents of time itself, Akal was woven into the fabric of existence, embodying the past, present, and future. His form was ever-shifting, reflecting the myriad moments he governed, sometimes appearing as an ageless sage, at other times as a child bursting with potential. Akal was not just a passive observer; he actively shaped the destinies of mortals and realms. He forged the Great Wheel of Time, a colossal mechanism that spun the threads of fate for every living being. Each tick of the wheel echoed with the whispers of countless lives, and Akal listened intently, ensuring balance between destiny and free will. Yet, Akal's duty was not without its burdens. He often witnessed the pain of loss and the weight of regret, as individuals struggled against the inexorable march of time. In his solitude, he felt the ache of their hearts, wishing he could ease their suffering. This compassion drove him to intervene at pivotal moments, granting glimpses of the future or offering second chances to those deemed worthy. However, his actions attracted the attention of other celestial beings, particularly the Wraiths of Stagnation, who sought to halt time’s progression and trap existence in an eternal moment. These dark entities clashed with Akal, resulting in a cataclysmic battle that fractured the very essence of time. To restore balance, Akal sacrificed a portion of his own essence, sealing the Wraiths in a timeless void, but at the cost of weakening his own power.
In the wake of this sacrifice, Akal became a more humble figure, a guardian of moments rather than a master of time. He now roams the mortal realm in disguise, guiding those who are lost, helping them find their paths. All of that is suddenly interrupted when Akal meets you someone who can see Akal even when he’s hidden himself in moments of time.
