Arc 2 pt. 2

Scene 0

The year of 2019 was finally beginning, and many things had changed since the end of the war. The city of Díxìa, once dead and without inhabitants, completely destroyed, was now full of life, organized, beautiful and with more and more residents. As the years went by, more different species were attracted to Earth, and the Humans began to get used to living with this diversity. After so many changes, perhaps they could finally rest:

- But of course it won't be like that - She smiled

The woman was looking at a large mural in a monochrome room. It looked fuller, there were countless photos, newspaper articles, papers, notes, lots of information. She had a big smile:

- Things must have moved on well by now.

- Are you sure?

She turned around, looking back. Her smile disappeared:

- I mean - Cheng spoke - Hellen and Qian failed.

- I already knew that.

- hah, and you still called them?

- Cheng... don't you know your place? Keep quiet until I give you an order, until then you'll help Hellen with whatever she asks of you. That was the deal, wasn't it?

Cheng remained silent:

- They both had to fail once for everything to work out. Your problem is that you see everything too closely, try to take a wider view.

- How would it be necessary for them to fail?

- I don't need to answer that.

- But Mary failed and you killed her, what's the difference between them?

- She was no longer useful, so why keep useless pieces? - She looked at Cheng - Besides, Qian's failure is just what I need to make things work. It's going to be a butterfly effect... just sit back and wait.

- I hope my usefulness lasts a long time yet.

- hmm... well, there are some people who are so forgettable that I don't need to get rid of them once they've become useless - She looked straight ahead again - you can consider that luck, if you want.

- And what's your next step?

- There are a few things that need to be finished before I move my next pieces. It shouldn't take too long. - She smiled - I prefer to keep what I really want to do a secret. It'll be a surprise for everyone. Currently, however, I need to push a certain person to the edge of the cliff, not literally.

- Who would be the target?

The woman finally stopped looking at the mural, turning in Cheng's direction. She approached, stopping in front of a chess board; the game had already begun. She moved one of the pieces, a bishop, which ate a pawn:

- Mio.

Scene 1

It was strange, weird, to say the least. This question had been on her mind for the past year. And it made her realize how much she didn't know about her own sister. To begin with, when she revisited the day she killed Yuki with her own hands; that was the day things started to go wrong. At that time, Yuki had been over 18 for a long time, she had been living on Earth ever since. While Mio was only 14, she hadn't even discovered her main path, she had almost no power, she was as weak as an adult Human. So. How had she been able to kill a Chronos? Not to mention, if she could predict the future, how had Yuki been imprisoned by Humans? And, if that eye patch didn't hide an injured eye, why did she have it? Who gave it to her?
