chapter 17

They reached the room. The domed ceiling had paintings of stars and planets all in lines intertwining together in streams of color. The walls were covered in equations graphs charts dates times and Names.
The floor was made out of refined Venge stone
"I cant use my powers in" Here Lloyd said a worried look on his face
Ama looked around the room Avi had formed and Was Now looking at the walls
"We need to open the roof" Avi shouted
Akita still hadnt appeared
Near the entrnce a chain was hooked to the wall Lloyd and Ama ran over to unhook it.The chain slackened and dome opened
And star light pored through in a focused beam which hit the floor in the center of the room
"What the heck" Lloyd said amazed
Thats when Akita apeared"Its says to state what you regret so...State your regrets"She said To Avi and Ama
Avi looked at the floor"I regret leaving Rowan"She whispered
Akita looked at Ama"I reget not realizing this sooner"
Then Akita took a deep breathe "I regret...letting this happen"
Time entered the room a smile painted on his face"Well well"He said"Pitty you wont finish the ritual-"
"Shut up" Akita said she looked tired and Angry "We all know the monoulogue about the perfect world you wanted and how we are not in it We know"
Time didnt look surprised "You were the hardest to convince"
"Thats because I have no feelings I never have"
Lloyd backed towards the wall where stone buttons were they were the last thing to do
Akita chuckled"Oh Time funny how the one thing that scared you was a little girl"
Time raised an eyebrow"Your tone has changed"
Lloyd was about to press the giant stone button knocked backwards by a time keeper
And Thats when Ama realized that Akita looked different she was in clean thite robes and her hair was perfectly tied in a bun
"You dont scare me Akita" Time said Smiling
Akita shook her head"Not like this I dont"
Akita's apearence changed her cloths Were now stained red and were torn her hair was knotted and tangled her face in a horfifying snear.Vines burst from the ground and wrapped around Time pulling him to the ground"Am I scary Now!?Do you regret what you have done!?"

The time keeper rushed to Times aid
Lloyd took the opportunity to hit the final thing needed for this to be over
Akita smiled as Time broke free
The stream of light turned into hundreds of colors
For once Time was scared"Are you sure you want this I am the only one who has control over the universe"
"Lloyd give me your sword" Ama whispered
"Why?!"
"Just give it to me"
Lloyd handed her the sword
Ama ran behind Time and ran the sword through Time's back
Time fell to the ground Ama looked across to Akita who was looking straight at her"His blood is on your head"
Time crawled towards the portal of light"I...Will...make your life miserable I swear"he then disapeared into the light
Death ran into the room"You did it"she said relieved"Everything will gonback to normal"
Akita looked sadley up at her"Death...I saw the signs and Ignored it...I'm sorry but you have to go too"
Death's eyes widened"What?"She didnt sound mad she was sad
"You are as much the problem as Time"
Death loomed around the room At Avi Akita Ama and Lloyd"Then you must promise me one thing...you owe Madu a favor "
Akita nodded"I will repay the debt"
"Thank you" Death whispered and she stepped into the light
