"What is your plan?" Erana's voice shook as she supported a weak Zeli.

"We're going to change history." I smiled.

"You would have to change the events in the past to see an impact on the future." Zeli coughed out.

"You've done this before." I spoke.

"Something similar. Like a really, really long time ago." Zeli winced. "I did this with Queen Adira to eliminate the dark forces entering our borders. But you'd need to change the probability of events. I don't possess that power and neither-"

"Lilith had once mentioned how angels are sometimes able to self-actualize their powers. It's not easy, but..."

I closed my eyes and held my hands together as I thought about the pain I felt with Kiki's death. I gritted my teeth as the anger resurfaced. Erana and Zeli began coughing as I made the air intolerable. I screamed and thought about how I wanted to do right by Kiki. I didn't want her to be gone. I wanted to protect her and do everything in my power to bring her back. I then thought about how I'd be able to save her if I could have changed the outcome of the final battle.

I then fell to my knees and slapped the floor, cracking it. The air around me sizzled and the walls started melting. I screamed for Kiki to return to me, but she didn't. I then became more hysterical until Erana wrapped her arms around me.

"Breathe, Addy." She whispered.

I slowly opened my eyes and stared at Zeli. She still looked wounded, but there was something in her eye. I noticed the curtains flapping around, so I thought about the chance of the bar breaking. Zeli then decided to make a break for it as the bar fell. She grunted and fell while I shot up and restrained her.

"If you can change the outcome, why do you need me?" Zeli grunted.

"So you can teleport me to the past." I sneered. "Now, I'm going to make sure that the blade never pierces Kiki." I thought about it. "Now, take me to her."

"I can't-"

"Absorb my aura, idiot! And then teleport me!" I squeezed her face.

"Okay." Zeli panted.

"And you're coming too." I grabbed Erana's arm.

Lucifer then stormed into the room. He must've realized what was happening since he screamed that this was a mistake. I smirked and had Zeli transport us to a different time. A more gruesome time.

The three of us gasped as we blipped to a war zone. We braced ourselves as the boulders cracked all around us and began rolling down the side. I removed my hand from Zeli's shoulder and spotted my past self fighting Lilitu. Well, more like Lilitu dominating me. The memory was fresh in my head and I knew what was bound to happen next. I began to race towards my past self, but the ground rippled around me and looked like the fabric of time was about to split. I stopped and turned to the girls.

"Why can't I approach myself? Rory was able to come back in time and not ruin the space time continuum!"

"I don't know! Maybe she has a different type of time travel that can avoid ripping time apart!" Erana called back.

"If you advance any closer to your past self, you'll cause irreversible damage and who knows what will happen!" Zeli shouted.

I clicked my tongue and went back to the girls. We squatted and watched the battle before us. Lilitu grabbed my past self's throat and suspended her in the air. My past self struggled to free herself, but she overpowered her. Lilitu then threw my past self away. My past self grunted from the impact and rolled onto her side. My past self was too weak to push herself up. My past self watched as Lilitu revealed the Blade of Death. Lilitu twirled it between her fingers while an evil glint was visible in her eyes.
