Dawn's Destiny

Previous Fails ~ Chapter 16

They appeared in the past and they appeared to be non-visible. Their appearance was simply holographic. Chrom watched as Marth was fighting Upton. Something about his outfit was unique, it was white and he did everything with his power to fight Upton.

"That's... Marth and Upton..." Chrom gasped. He looked at them fighting when suddenly Marth fell backward. From there Ashyohia was with him. Chrom looked at them and back at the Ashyohia with Chrom.

Marth grunted, "No matter how much chaos you want to spread around our home... I will not let you take me alive." Upton rolled his eyes and proceeded to walk closer to Marth. Marth was holding his weapon but he seemed to be struggling. Ashyohia was doing everything their power to keep Marth alive.

Ashyohia sighed, "I can't help but realize all my mistakes, Marth died because of my actions. All the previous heroes died due to my actions... Marth is the only one who lived... but died moments later." Chrom looked over and noticed Upton stabbed Marth directly on the chest.

"You really believe you will win with that stupid time goddess of yours? I'm afraid that you're proven wrong," Upton mocked. He ripped the blade out of Marth as he fell down bleeding harshly.

Marth gasped, "I... I can't die here yet... no... we can't fail as heroes..." Upton then slammed his blade onto Marth. Instantly killing him. Chrom watched in horror, his ancestor died right in front of his eyes despite this being part of the past.

Ashyohia cried, "I feel horrible! This happened so many years ago but I feel guilty for all my actions! I'm so terribly sorry!" Chrom looked over and noticed Upton was walking to the Ashyohia standing there behind Marth. He walked closer to see what was going on.

"Your efforts to stop me have been worthless, no matter how many times my family will cause these events, nobody will stop me... nobody will," Upton yelled while grabbing Ashyohia. "And no matter how hard you try you will always... always fail."

Ashyohia yelled, "You're wrong, you're forever going to be wrong! Because you know nothing about our future. Your family life will be stopped. Therefore, there will be no more chaos happening throughout this world." Upton looked at them and smiled.

"You're a time goddess, and not even a Time goddess could stop me, listen Aisha. You're nothing to me and my family line, and everytime you appear, we'll just stop you," Upton mocked. Chrom watched the two argue and then soon Ashyohia walked next to him.

Ashyohia sighed, "I won't lose to them again, not this time. Not ever again, which is why I trust you Chrom to bring them into a future where everything is healed. Where everyone is finally safe with themselves. They have to be stopped."

"I understand our goal completely, just one issue, what exactly are we supposed to do? Who is the next person on their family line?" Chrom questioned. Ashyohia looked at him and back at her watch. Time was moving slowly back in Dawn.

"The next person in their family line is Magnus, he is known as 'The Hero Destroyer,' his goal is getting rid of the heroes with these unique playing cards, they have an ace of spades on it. If you're hit by it you'll get seriously injured, too many times and you would be murdered..." Ashyohia explained. Chrom looked down at his hands when suddenly Ashyohia handed him the watch.

Chrom questioned, "Hang on, why are you giving me the watch?! What's the big idea?!"

Ashyohia explained, "From now on, call me Time. I'm afraid that Ashyohia will not last forever..." Chrom stared in confusion when he fell onto the restroom floor again. Time was nowhere to be found now.

Chrom asked, "Where did she go?" He looked around the room and stared toward the heroes. All there were small droplets of water coming from the sink. He left the restroom shortly afterward and saw Albedo checking something on his communicator.

Albedo waved, "You're okay, that's a good sign. Anyways, nobody figured out how to read the book so it was pointless in the end. But did you figure it out?"

"Unfortunately I was unable to, I'm sorry to disappoint you all-"

"No you saw something Chrom, I know you did. Especially since you looked like you were reading something on there," Albedo replied, a little worried. Chrom stood there with worry filling his body.

Chrom replied, "I promise you I didn't see anything..." Albedo shrugged and Chrom walked off. He looked at the watch in his hand and sat down. "Erase their memories of them seeing me... read that book, they mustn't suspect anything..." Then the watch granted the wish, everyone had forgotten what Chrom did. All they cared about was finding who time was.

Which was perfect for Chrom.
