Almeda was always an adventurous
and virtuous girl. She tried to do good for others, sacrifice her belongings if
needed, and do acts without asking for a reward. This got the attention of God
and He ordered Tunc Messorem to give her the honor of being the first one to
receive the time alteration blessing. With it, she changed various events in
the past in moderation though this was easier said than done as she was just a
simple sword and shield fighter with a backup bow and arrow. Almeda was not
used to the kinds of combat the past presented her with, with demon knights,
dragons, trolls, and various other intimidating warriors and creatures. Due to
this, she died many deaths and messed up many times while trying to change the
past. One bad end, in particular, had her stuck as a breeder until Tunc
Messorem had to intervene to save her. This broke her down and almost made her
give up her time alteration blessing.
“I’m not as strong as the hero you
want me to be,” she said, “I can’t do it!”
Tunc Messorem tells her of the time
when he was as weak as she was and said, “No one starts life strong. You have
to make yourself strong through mistakes and training. Everyone who is strong
was once pitifully weak, but their determination and effort to become strong is
what made them strong in the end. You can be better than the weak person I was
before. I know you can.”
This gave Almeda strength to keep
trying and though she kept failing, she never stopped trying and eventually saved
the world she wanted to change. Her actions made her into the world’s first
human hero, but she gave that credit to Tunc Messorem and put his story into
humanity’s history books. Though people debate whether or not Tunc Messorem was
morally good or not, Almeda regards him as the real first hero. He didn’t want
to take this honor from her, but deep inside he felt comfort and love, a
feeling that was dead for a long time for him. Eventually, she passed away
naturally and her time alternation blessing was taken away. Tunc Messorem
promised himself that he’ll treat other people he gives the blessing to the
same as she did for him in honor of Almeda and to become that person she looked
up to.
