THE ETERNAL PARADOX
CHAPTER XIII-3: LIGHTNING RETURNS
PARALLEL LINES
Imagine you have a destiny.
But you don´t fulfil it.
Imagine you know your path.
But you don´t walk it.
Imagine you know exactly what you´ve got to do,
But you just decide against it.
What will happen when you simply choose to defy your fate?
Will the timeline collapse into itself
and everything you ever knew just cease to exist?
What does it matter if reality is torn asunder,
If time and space it drowned in a gigantic wave of Chaos
And the world you knew is dying in a burst of flame.
It doesn´t matter one bit.
Nothing really matters.
Never will.
As long as we can be together.
„The one with the power to change the timeline must choose between those who live and those who die. They must bear the burden of the eternal paradox." the pale enigmatic woman stated somewhat pensively, looking down at her chosen champions through a gap between the stars as carefully she weighted the meaning of those words.
Yes. She had chosen a good pair of candidates this time. She really had.
Rewarding that comment of her´s with one of his curious stares, Bhunivelze only arched his eyebrows.
He wasn´t exactly fond of her choice, she knew.
But she didn´t really care for his opinion anyway.
Never had.
The almighty god of light, he had a terrible taste when it came to human beings...
„Who is he, the one with the power?" Bhunivelze asked confusedly, shaking his head in annoyance as it seemed he couldn´t grasp the answer.
The Goddess Etro, Goddess of the afterlife, she only gave one of her secretive little smiles.
„Everyone."
ENJOY.
