The Adventures of Rose Hood

Chapter 68: Earth

"I can't wait to get home!"

It was my last day as a junior in high school, and I was ready to start my summer reading list.

Despite being a psychopath, the only people who really disliked me were the colleges who thought I'd kill someone or something stupid like that.

I was walking home when I saw a suspicious person following a woman.

Not sure if he was a threat, I kept them in eyesight, and he got closer.

I saw him draw a knife.

"LOOK OUT!!!"

She looked back and screamed. I tackled the man and fought with him. The woman was in shock.

"Get help!"

She nodded before running off, dialing 911.

I fought with the man before getting control of the knife, realizing I had control, he pulled out a gun, and I stabbed him, but he shot at me.

The bullet hit the blade and it launched into me. Because I stabbed his carotid artery, he started choking on his own blood and bystanders rushed to see if I was okay. Then one noticed my wristband.

He had a look of disgust, and then seemed to get an idea.

"Let's pull out the knife and put pressure to staunch the bleeding."

'That would kill you!!!'

'That was the point. This guy was aware of that, but the others weren't.'

I was coughing out blood, so I couldn't stop them, but they took out the knife and tried to stop the bleeding, but without the knife sealing the wound, they couldn't stop it, and I heard the ambulance as I breathed my last...

'So now you see why I want to destroy it?'

'I do, but could you at least save the good ones?'

'... I could try.'

'How long has passed in that world.'

'I don't know, here it was a million years. There, it could have been 1 or 1 billion.'

'I see, where is it? I'll let you draw on my power.'

'Alright, let's see.'

'Can we even get there?'

'We can.'

She let me draw on her power and I warped us to the location I knew the world was.

'Let's go in.'

'Not so fast, we need a disguise.'

'Use draconic shift. We should be able to disguise ourselves that way.'

'Good idea.'

I disguised myself as a regular human that would easily get lost in a crowd, then we entered.

_

It was just like I remembered it.

I walked up to someone.

"Pardon me, but could you please tell me the date?"

"Oh, no problem, it's 12/22/23."

"Wow, Christmas is so close."

"Yep, better get to gift shopping."

'Christmas?'

'A holiday celebrating the birth of the human manifestation of this world's God.'

'This world's?'

'Well, I don't know if He only controls here, but past my judgement, I've had no interaction with Him.'
