Author's note: Hello, dreamers! Here it is, the final chapter of my first spin-off! Lilith will get an unexpected visit and a glimpse at the future! I also wanted to tell you, I updated the name of the first chapter. I decided since all of the other chapter names are two words, I changed The Timeline Split to just The Split. So, without further ado, the final chapter of The Astral Maiden's Love! Enjoy!

X. The Rose
One month after Dire's passing...
Lilith was lying in bed, sleeping peacefully. She was dreaming of Dire, and what she'd say to him when they reunite. Suddenly, the Mountains of Beginnings and Endings started to glow. The Author was coming down to directly talk to someone.
"Lilith. Wake up." The Author quietly said, not wanting to startle the sleeping woman.
Lilith mumbled, before opening her eyes. She gasped when she saw the Author. "A-Author? What are you doing here?" She asked, unsure of why a being as powerful as The Author would be visiting her at such a late hour.
"I am here to show you one last glimpse of the future. Tell me, do you want to see Dire again, then come back here?" The Author asked, gently.
Lilith's eyes widened. "R-really? You would let me see him again?"
"Of course. I want to reassure you that all will be well." The Author said. "Lay in bed and close your eyes. You will be transported to this very room, an unspecified number of years in the future."
Lilith did just as the Author told her to do. When she opened her eyes, she saw the same ceiling and felt the same covers, but one thing didn't feel the same.
Her.
Lilith felt sick. really sick.
Maybe I just have the flu... Lilith thought to herself. She stood up from the bed. Wow. She thought. The room looked slightly different. New furniture in place of the old, a thin, sleek tv instead of the smaller one she was used to.
That looks pretty futuristic. What year even is this? Lilith was curious.
She looked around the room for something that could give a date. She picked up the cell phone on the nightstand, which was thinner and lighter than ever. Lilith switched it on, but no date appeared. Thinking it was just the phone, she spotted a calendar on the wall. She walked over and tried to read the date.
It was completely blurry. Clever Author... Lilith thought. The Author wanted her to know what her future held, but not know the date.
Lilith heard a knock at the door. "Come in!" She said.
