House of Caletara

We're out of time

"Have you made you decision sister?" My eyes shot open, the clearing was gone, Clara was gone. The peaceful serenity nature provided was gone and most of all the security I felt moments prior was gone. Now I was back in this forsaken reality.

"I'm not much of a patient man little sister."

I chuckled wryly "You're not a man though are you?" I hissed back , more life flowing back into my veins. Without waiting a another second I staggered to my feet. Gripping Escanor  in my hand. The blade had been abnormally quiet. His voice no longer reaching my mind. Or maybe he was as distraught as I was. After all the years we spent together after the long night.

Winning a throne, quelling any rising rebellions, seeking the last infinity stones, not too mention the late evenings we'd simply float through the evenings skies, marveling at this planets stars.

We've been through so much together. I know he loved my children almost as much as I did. He spoke to Draco, but felt that Aurora would be the one to inherit him, Draco was more of a spear guy anyway.

"No I'm no man, I'm a god. Now sister I believe we've wasted enough time.." there's that word again. Time. Reality and space. A cocky smirk curled up on my lips.

I chuckled softly before my soft chuckles turned into laughter, full blown laughter, maybe I'm not as sane as I once was. Drenched in blood, my own and those I fought against. Standing in the middle of a battle field where only a few feet away laid my family, dead , gone.

Trigon stared at me , yes perhaps he thinks I've gone mad as well.He scoffed in irritation "It seems I've broken your mind Alexandra." He sounded almost proud , most likely thinking I'd be easier to manipulate if was completely and utterly broken, no amount of glue in the entire  cosmos could put me back together again.

My abrupt laughter subsided slightly, but the smirk remained, I stepped closer to my wayward brother, my grip tightening ever so slightly around my summer swords hilt.

"That's where you're wrong..brother." I spat the word as if it was poison on my tongue, acrid and vile. It was wrong, I didn't want to related to such filth, I didn't want to share the same genetic make up or godly make up as the god before me. If anything I wished for a split second I was never made, never born but then images played in my minds eye. That's right. If I was never born. I'd never have the pleasure of falling inlove with two exquisite woman, I would never have had the chance to become a mother to my handsome Draco, my gorgeous Aurora. I would never have been patiently waiting for the coming of my next child. 

I would never have met the funniest and most loyal sentient blade , I would never have felt so full of life.

"It's funny, no it's sad. You've got this huge complex , daddy complex. You're pissed aren't you?" I mocked with a sneer "Daddy didn't love you enough, so you rebelled. Daddy didn't give the attention you craved so you wanted to destroy.. ack—"" before I could finish, I knew I hit a nerve when his hand tightened around my throat, the smirk didn't fall away, instead I stared at my brother in satisfaction. "Sad—"" I choked out "After ... all this.. time.. you still want daddy's attention." I laughed hoarsely as much as I could with the ever tightening grip around my neck.

"You know nothing!" He spat "I'll kill you, you insignificant human loving scum."

I snickered and brought my free hand to his wrist, my working eye glowed menacingly "Do it." I mocked , hesitation in his dark eyes, he wouldn't kill me, he needed me. And that was more than enough time for me to dig deep, like the first time it happened. I had no idea was Trigon did to me, but when I unconscious I watched as my nerves, my blood, everything change, the first time I was unprepared but this time I wasn't.

Instead I searched my pocket space mentally for the remaining stones. I dropped my hand from Trigons wrist. Mocking him, with my working eye, keep his gaze away from the small rip of space appearing beneath my free arm. When I found the items. A sigh nearly left my lips, but I stared right into Trigons dark eyes. While he went on about his spew with my father. Typical villain type, if Escanor was talking, he'd be mocking the god before us. I felt a spark in my sentient blade, most likely waiting for the right moment to act.

With the remaining stones in my grip , I didn't hesitate one moments before using Escanor to shift into a dagger and piece my stomach. Trigon looked taken aback by the sudden act.

"What?  trying to kill yourself?" He questioned with a laugh.

I coughed blood, Escanor thrummed  with displeasure at having to hurt me. But that was for later, right now, I shoved the stones into the gaping wound. I offered Trigon a bloody smile, restraining my screams of pain, as the stones dissolved faster, flooding my nervous system no doubt rewriting every inch of my body. "Dear brother.. I'm afraid.." I choked , veins straining my neck. He must've noticed because my once destroyed eye, was no longer destroyed , instead when I opened it, it felt like everything was a thousand times clearer , every speck of dust in my view.. my eyes flashed what I would then realize later, a myriad of different colors. "Our time has come to an end." With all my might I willed myself back, his scream of frustration echoed in my ears , but I didn't listen, I made sure to burn the image of failing my city, my kingdoms, my family in my mind. To never fail again.

The first time I fell through dimensions , I was knocked out cold.

The first time I witnessed space travel, was a simple rip through time and space. But this was new. All around I watched a thousands if not millions of choices played out.

I watched me turn my back on Daenerys forever, I watched me losing myself to this worlds depravity. I watched myself uselessly fight against Trigon.

Without thinking I pulled on a single thread.

For the first time since the battle against Trigon reached its peak Escanor's voice reached mine.

"Alex." The soothing tone made me smile. As I tugged harder on the violet string.

"My friend." I voiced, my voice echoed through the tunnel of threads.

A laugh left him "Have you any idea what you're doing?"

A amused laugh broke free, I wrapped my fingers tighter around the violet string "Don't you know Escanor?" I questioned out loud, "I've never had a fucking clue and that's alright.. because this time we're not losing."

"Damn straight ! Let's do this partner."

I closed my newly healed eyes "It would be my greatest pleasure .." With one final tug I pulled harder, I could feel the fabric of time and space rewinding, I felt as reality shifted... a smug smile curled up my lips.

"And they said time travels hard"
