They say that time itself does not age, a forever constant; but when one is blessed and cursed with a long life, who is to say that the perception and definition itself cannot warp within the confines of their own mind?
Born in an ancient world, Rheviun was the catalyst of great events, magnificent and destructive alike, yet as swiftly as he achieved calamitous and incredible feats, the people who remember them fade into the annals of an era forgotten, as the memories fade and the pages wither to dust, only one alive remembers the echo of the ancestral era.
Watching the world change around you, changing with it...Is it a blessing or a curse? Forced to leave the past behind and the people inside of it. Yet the ghost of the past always has its own way of directing and haunting you no matter how far into the present you are, even as you try to move on from it. Long has he seen the world, long has the world seen him; from a time where people walked the realms of this Earth with bare feet and not a craft to their name, to a time where they can fly through the skies and have everything they want on their doorstep in mere privileged moments...To the eventual collapse caused by the power struggle for what remained when too much was taken for granted and pillaged for selfish prospects
Through it all, there is always one factor that watches, moderating, guiding...Yet they can only be so protected from the very dystopia that they themselves sow; yet the sentinel remains long after its charge is abandoned and lost, waiting for the next era to start its very first chapter.
Cyberpunk vibes.
Hiya! More of a sombre tone for this one, I got this picture to reflect the concept of Rheviun's long life, how he saw a primitive world turn into a kingdom he controlled, then evolved into a sprawling technological utopia, then fell itself into a terrible dystopia, which is the current present.
