There’s another long silence as the Exarch tries to put together words that reveal something without revealing all - if his condition is truly tied to the hiding of secrets, he should try to be open, but old habits die hard and a hundred years of secrecy is incredibly hard to break. His thoughts are a little muddled, but ‘everyone placed all their hopes on me’ and ‘if I fail, all will be lost’ linger at the forefront as he recalls the dying, ruined, lawless land that he awoke to.
He can’t let himself die here. Too many people placed all their hopes upon him.
“I... seek to prevent a great Calamity that will see to one world’s end and set the other on the path to oblivion...” he finally murmurs.
Just that much for the moment - he contemplates, briefly, going on to add the details, but he is certain it would be a completely outlandish claim, and far too revealing for his liking. One does not just casually talk about travelling through time and changing history.
