Anastasias POV

For 3 years, I'd been locked up. That was until my father and his loyal assassins busted me out of there. But I wish they would've let me rot instead.

There was no point in living anymore. To watch my sister die like that in front of me was one thing, but knowing that I could've changed the outcome made me fill up with guilt. Every damn day I think about what she must've gone through.

And how little I did to help her.

So when I was free again, I hid out in a small house far away from people. And for 2 years, I'd done everything I could to find a way to fix all of this. I was so close on letting go of this life, but I wanted to try again for her.

I forgot all about talking to my father or Kurogiri being after me. Especially after I found a possible way to fix it all.

"Finally... the garden of time." I stood in front of the large gate leading to the one person who could help me.

If they were willing to.

But it did take me two years and a tremendous amount of research from old books in my fathers library to find this place. So no was not an answer. I didn't even know this type of thing was possible, but my desperateness came through. I only had one weapon with me, but I wasn't planning on using it.

I pushed the gate open and walked through the most beautiful garden I've ever seen. With enchanting flowers and trees of all colours, butterflies dancing around them. It looked magical, some would say timeless.

But there was no time for me to admire it. I had to find them.

Once I stood in front of the door leading me into the home of the person who made the garden look this way, I stopped to take a deep breath.

I've thought a lot about it. Not only will it make Katanas life easier, but all of those other people as well. None of them will die and everyone will get their happy ending.

I put my hand up to knock, but the door opened itself. The loud creak almost made me take a step back.

"Anastasia Akito... good job on finding me." a raspy voice called out for me.

I slipped in and slowly walked towards it. The entire room was made of white and gold marble. Bookshelves along the walls made the room seem even more like a fairytale.

What have I gotten myself into? I mentally slapped myself. Focus.

Around the corner, sat an old lady in a white robe. She held a book in her hand and let go of it as soon as she felt me enter the room. But the book stopped midair, not floating, just stopped.

So she's legit... let's do this then.

"Come, my child. Let's talk."

"... and you understand the consequences of this journey?" she asked me.

"Yes. I am 100% sure, I'm doing this."

"Very well." she gestured for me to sit down on the carpet as she took a seat herself.

Now sitting across each other, the woman took my hands in hers and closed her eyes. I braced myself for what was going to happen next.

"Hm. What's this?"
