Chapter 1955 Some Kind of Punishment
"You need to be trained for the battle that is to come. Take it as a punishment meant to train you." The third sister of the Fates stated.
[The Fates are giving you a way in order to become stronger to train the Mediator the Gods of Death.]
"Take the test once you are ready. It will start automatically after five hours." All of the Fates stated as they returned Adrian\'s soul back to his body.
[You have returned to your body.]
[The Trial of Time shall start in five hours automatically.]
[You are able to start the Trial of Time now.]
[Do you wish to do the Trial of Time?]
"Not for now. I have got to prepare." Adrian replied as he finally regained consciousness in his physical body.
Adrian was currently upside down in the middle of the Elders Council Building in Avalon. The three elders were talking about something when Adrian woke up. They wanted to check where his soul flew off to, but they already felt the energy of the Fates and backed down. There are some gods or goddesses that even the elders do not want to meet, and the Fates are one of them.
"What did you do this time that angered the Fates?" Elder Ascalor asked.
"It is due to the Time Anomaly, but they said that it is not something major. I am spared from getting deleted from reality if you are asking. Although… they told me that I need to partake in the Trial of Time. Does any of the elders know about this?" Adrian stated.
All of the three Daemos elders shuddered when they heard what trial Adrian was supposed to do. They where relieved that he did not anger the Fates, but they have imposed a trial on Adrian. They know of the Trial of Time but the format changes for every entity. It is not a trial that has fixed details as it is not set in stone, but it is incredibly difficult.
"The one that can tell you of it in general would be Koronn. He is the only one among us to clear the entire trial. More like he needed to clear the trial as he was told to complete it in order to avoid punishment for entering the River of Time." Elder Bronx stated.
"You mean he was the only one that was able to complete it because he was a master of temporal magic. It is basically a trial that gives you foresight in Temporal Magic and even may give you the power to use the most powerful of the Time Magics. It was the first time that I saw Koronn so determined since he needed to clear the trial." Elder Ascalor stated.
"Even I cannot tell you what is in the trial that will be given to you. You can even consider it as a light punishment as you were not told to pass the trial. Am I correct?" Elder Koronn stated.
"You are right! The Fates only told me to undergo the trial and not to complete it, but they did say that this trial is meant to train me for something." Adrian stated.
"If the Fates themselves have told you that this is akin to training to you, then you must pass the trial whatever it takes. The Fates are beings that do not merely say something because they are amused. They can see everything that is past, present, and even the future." Elder Koronn stated as it was also the Fates that imposed him to complete the trial in the first place.
"The Fates told you that it is training then we are the ones telling you to complete the Trial of Time. You need to do this in preparation of what is to come in your future." Elder Ascalor added.
"Okay then. I suddenly feel the burden stacking up and making it incredibly difficult. What do I need to prepare for the Trial of Time? I am still in the process of creating a holy relic for a goddess." Adrian stated.
"You do not need to prepare anything but yourself. Regarding your quest to create a holy relic for a goddess, it is best that you already give the items to the blacksmith. It will take you at least a week to complete the Trial of Time." Elder Bronx stated.
"I wish you started with that! Thank you for the guidance!" Adrian stated as he immediately vanished to go to the blacksmith that will help him create the holy relic.

[Mother\'s Day Short]
"Delivery for the madam." One of the helpers stated as there was a box addressed to Adrian\'s mother.
"I did not order anything though. Maybe the other\'s ordered it. Thank you." Adrian\'s mother stated as she accepted the package that is about a foot tall and wide.
"I guess I should check since it already passed the initial sensor check at the gate. Huh?" Adrian\'s mother stated as she unpacked the item.
"Ah!" Adrian suddenly exclaimed as that package was supposed to be for him, but it was his mother that accepted it. It was supposed to be his gift for the upcoming Mother\'s Day.
"What is this? Why is it even modeled after my face? To the fierce mother that is like a tiger. Happy Mother\'s Day." Adrian\'s mother stated as she unveiled a figurine with her face, but the body is like an anime tigress beast man. The tone of her voice is flustered but he could hear level 1 anger when she read the message at the bottom of the figurine.
"Whoa! That figurine is so cool, mom! I think dad was the one that ordered that for you." Adrian stated and his father suddenly entered the living room while yawning.
"Cool figurine." Adrian\'s father stated.
"You were the one that had it custom made though. Your son is a witness." Adrian\'s mother stated with a smiling but not smiling face.
"Yeah! I remember dad describing you as her lovable tiger. Such great inspiration!" Adrian stated as he slowly exited the living room and returned to his room.
His father, on the other hand, had to explain the figurine to his mother even though he was the one that initially thought of the idea. Adrian was just the one that found the artist to customize the figurine. He did not think that it would turn out that way as his initial vision was her smiling mother sitting near a tiger.
"Happy Mother\'s Day… I guess. I should tell the artist to create another one that is what I intended from the beginning." Adrian stated as he prayed that his father will be fine as her mother is completely embarrassed from seeing the posture of the figurine acting like a cute tiger beast woman.
"Son! Come down here and explain something your father is telling me." Adrian\'s mother stated with a rather calm voice as it seems that his father managed to soothe the anger rection from embarrassment of her mother.
