Fated Lovers of Magic: Book 1

The Vows

"Enough of this talk," Gun said sternly while walking towards the center table and sitting on the right side.

"We agreed before, for ten years, I will be with him, and if he still can't get over you, then I will allow you to reunite again", he continued after taking a seat.

"Yes, I remember, but it hasn't even been ten years yet. If I'm not mistaken, it has only been three years, so why?" Sky agreed but then questioned because he wants to know the intention of meeting at a critical moment at the hospital.

"It has been 10 years in my timeline. I told you that the coin I gave you will bring you in the future, exactly 10 years we agreed upon," Gun said as a matter of fact.

"How could I believe that? Is it even possible?" Sky tried to deny it, but deep down he is already believing him, all he needs is confirmation.

Gun just stared at Sky with a look of pity. He grabbed the remote on the table and pressed the power button for the television. Sky looked at the screen and what he saw confirmed his suspicion that everything that Gun said was the truth. He saw the News, and the date and time convinced him.

"OK, I believe you. So you are from the future, then why didn't you meet the future me instead". Sky finally accepted but was still puzzled over why Gun went back to the past and brought him over. Won't this overlap the timeline of the same person is what he's afraid of?

"I know you're smart, and I know what you are thinking and worried about. But you don't have to worry that you will meet the future," Gun said and heaved a sigh before continuing. "Because there was never a future for you."

"What do you mean?" Sky asked, afraid of the answer he was about to get.

"You died when you fell from the stairs in the rain due to blood loss, and since it was raining hard that night no one was outside and you ended up staying there all night with a concussion and a high fever. It was already too late when someone saw you." Gun explained calmly, afraid that this information would be too much for Gun to take and could break him further.

There was a dead silence. Gun gave him time to adjust. While observing Sky, he made a hand flicker and a pitcher of water and glasses appeared on the table. He went and filled one of the glasses and offered it to him.

Sky was too preoccupied with thinking that he wasn't able to witness the magic that happened. When he saw the glass of water being offered to him, he didn't hesitate and went to drink it all. All of a sudden, it made his throat dry and drinking water was just the right thing to ease his dried throat.

"Alright, so basically I never had a future, and since I couldn't fulfill the promise we made after ten years, you came back and brought me over here. So it means I will have to face the future of Earth. Exactly what do you need from me?" Sky finally accepted his situation.

"All I need from you is to meet him. We are in Japan, our company moved here just last week. He will arrive here in Tokyo in a few days. The plan is that you will be working with us and rekindling the flame for Earth. The day we left was the day his heart died, and I need you to light up hope for him" Gun explained truthfully the plan and both agreed to help Earth.

...

Back to Earth, traveling to the Year 2020, he meets Sky again at the beginning of the school year on the bus.

Earth still couldn't believe that he is starting his life in college again when all he could think of before was to graduate, but all he could think of now is how grateful he is to be back. He misses the place, the food, and especially the person who holds his heart dearly.
