Timeless Rebellion

Chapter 2:Time is the present

"Stand down King... return the gem or I will return you to your god..." The magister said in a deep and raspy tone. "Oh Leeqa you know I can't do that... It's not even yours to begin with. Besides... we both know that the gods gave us Immortality..." I said with a smirk on my face. Oh, and Leeqa was the magister's old name by the way. He clenched his fist tightly and I could hear a bone-crushing sound. Okay so really doesn't like that I called him by his old name. He pulled a sword out of his mouth and stood there in a fighting stance. Gross... I put the gem of Acheila down and pulled out my sword from a portal that I just opened. The sword that the magister held was covered in blood while mine was covered in a black and white color scale. As we both charged at each other we each struck each other's swords. The sound of metal made me deaf. It was as if our swords clashing could be heard from different universes. We continued to clash swords for a few minutes... He moved and blocked my sword as if he were a mirrored image of me... Even though he looks exactly like me... We clashed for the last time and I couldn't keep the grip of my sword... making it fly away when the last clash happened. The magister kicked my stomach and I fell towards the ground... As I tried to pick up my sword, the magister stepped on my hand... making me unable to do anything... "Memorable sword skills King... but in the midst of people with good talent... I alone am the best of the best in mine..."

The magister said while slowly putting pressure on my hands. He stepped on. "But still... why'd you lose all of the wars?" I said while smirking. The smirk on my face made him annoyed so he put more pressure on his feet to try and make me scream. Even though it hurts, I try to avoid showing weakness to this monster. "Watch your words King... you are under my command and you know it..." The magister said while looking down at me... I couldn't dare to look up... not to him... I tried to get up but he put his other legs on my chest. I could feel him crushing my ribs in any second. "The disobedient king will always fall... I thought you said that King..." He said as he looked down at my face and had a little smirk. "I guess a man can forget his own saying old friend..." As I said that he decided to kneel a bit to meet me at my level. He looked into my eyes with hatred and dissatisfaction. His eyes had thousands of souls trapped in it... I tried to look away but failed. "We are not mortals King... we are immortals... the ones that live longest... The ones who should be looked up to... We experience more than what they have... We are basically gods King...." His tone changed a bit... is he trying to convince me that I'm like him? That people are not my equal? "You can be anything you want... but I know where I came from so I think I'm sticking with the humans."

I said with a smile. I wanted to try to annoy him to buy enough time. He raised his sword so high that it blocked the sunlight that was blinding me. "Then you die like them." As the sword lowered, Someone came in and kicked the magister off of me. The magister was sent flying and hit a tree a few miles away. "You alright my love?" The unknown person reached her hand out and I took it without a second thought. Alright, everyone, I would like you to meet my beloved dear wife... Twilight Sparkle... Her purple hair flowed with the wind from the cliff. If I could, I would fall in love with her over and over again if she looks this beautiful every day. I looked at her with awe and my mouth opened wide, adoring her beauty. "Dear... I think that's enough staring... you're making me blush." She said while her face turned red. We both stood in a fighting stance. Her staff was in her hands while my sword in mine. Both prepared to stop the magister. The magister stood up and was coughing a bit of black blood. "Arrogant... a word to represent the two of you... You two always think you have it all" The magister said with a calm face while holding his stomach. "Because we do have it all Leeqa... While you're wasting your time trying to gain what you've lost... Sombra's powers are long gone... Your time has ended" I replied calmly while gripping my sword with my two hands. The magister seemed to have been stuck in a train of thought. He stood there for a while glaring at me and Twilight. "Time... an interesting concept king... I thank you for the idea..." As he said this, He stood back and opened a portal to his domain. "WE'RE NOT DONE TALKING HERE" I yelled and ran towards him with my sword in my hand. As I got closer, his portal began to close slowly. In a final attempt, I pulled my hand out to reach for his shirt. As I tried to grab him, the portal closed and the last thing I heard from him was... "Till time do us part...". What does he mean by that? I clenched my fist with anger because I let him go once again. My wife patted my shoulder and I looked at her smile. "Cheer up love. You'll get him next time." She said with her soothing voice. The problem is... there might not be another time that I get this close to him. Maybe never again. I frowned. "I can't help it dear... I have this feeling that I don't have enough time... It's a feeling I can't get off my chest" I held my shirt tightly... showing this aching feeling in my chest while looking down on my feet. My wife lifted my head from my chin with her soft hands. It felt like cotton that was only for me. "Z... Look at me..." Her voice was calm as she looked at me with care. "You are the meaning of hope to everyone including me... If you hope for your downfall then that is no hope at all. You will lose... but in the midst of it, you managed to stand tall. That is what I love about you. You are hope when there is none..." She assured me with love. The aching disappeared a bit before she continued. "Remember Z... The future does not shape who are... nor does the past... the present does." Spoken like a true soulmate... What she doesn't know is that her voice and motivation are what makes me alive. "Come on... let's bring the gem back to Acheila... we can have a chat with the king for a moment or two" She pulled her hand out. Without hesitation, I took her hand as she led me to the portal to Acheila. I smiled like a kid who bought ice cream for the first time.
