VainGlory: Birth of A Miracle

Part 20: The Scythe of Time

Nathaniel's POV
A sudden voice has told us something about Dragons and existence between time. What the hell is going on? A dark scythe suddenly appeared before us and the voice said:
"This is the Scythe Of Time. A powerful weapon that allow the user to manipulate time at will and very powerful magic have been put on this weapon. "
"Scythe of time? I remember I read it somewhere..." I said.
"Honestly Nathaniel. Can you please not learn something from reading?" Sean said.
"Stop picking on him Sean." Emily smacked him. Everything went back to normal and traffic started flowing again. Gyrospheres are taking over the world. Cars are now very valuable. We shrugged and left for home.
Emily's POV
I kicked the door open as I yelled:
"We're home!" Mom came over and said:
"Honestly Sean. If you keep kicking the door we will need to replace with another one."
"But that's great!"
"Spent it with your own money, then."
"And... Nope. Mom I'm hungry!"
"Yeah, yeah. You guy's snack are over there."
"Thaaaaaank you!"
I walked casually to the table as Nathaniel struggle to take off his shoes. Emily grabbed her phone and started texting her friend, Tashka. Apparently she's overseas. Catherine spins her gun as she grab her Jell-o. I sighed and grabbed a candy bar and ripped it open. I took a bite and that's when someone rang the door.
"Who is it?" Nathaniel asked. He opened the door and found Taka and Koshka and their daughter standing outside.
"Oh hey!"
"Hey Nathaniel. Can we talk to Kestrel and Alex?"
"Dad's at work. I can call mom tho."
"Ahh... No that's unnecessary..." Taka replied. Too late. I yelled out:
"Mom! Mr. Taka wanna see you!" Mom rushed here in no time and welcome them in. Koshka whispered something in her year and mom shoo us away. Tashka happily went to Emily's room and I had to go to my room. My book bag is heavy from all that textbooks I have to carry. I already decided I am going to be a music man. Uncle Vox already gave me an advanced DJ set for party time. Nathaniel want to be a office man like dad. Talk about boring... I was tired already so I jumped onto my bed and began drifting away into my fantasy.

"Hello Visitor."
Wait what? Did someone just say visitor?
"My name is Molticana. I am pleased to meet you." A man sitting on the couch in front of me greeted.
"This is my assistant, Margret. She will be helping you as well." A pretty lady beside him nodded.
"What's going on? Where am I?" I asked. Looking around.
"This is the room of time. A secret room that exist between time and fate. This room allows anyone to change their fate in the future."
"So... Why am I here?"
"Everyone who shall meet an unexpected, terrible fate are welcome in here." Margret replied.
"So... I was supposed to meet an terrible fate?"
"Yes. Here is the vision of what will happen." A screen like popped out of nowhere and displayed me getting stabbed my an unfamiliar man. It was a horrible sight. Seeing myself yelling in pain as I struggle to stop the man form killing me. Finally, he shoved it into my throat and I died. The screen poofed and it was gone. I was scarred for life. Molticana nodded. He said:
"Now this is what will happen in exactly 1 year. Your hour. February, the 13th, 2030. 4:07, the exact 32 second. You will receive your unexpected attack."
"So what do you want me to do?" I asked as Molticana laughed.
"It's your choice. I will give you this year to stop your future self from being murdered. You must remember, though. It is not up to my decision if you fail. You must be careful, however. There is, of course. More than 24 hours in this world..." And a sudden brightness hit my eyes...
"Wake up you idiot!" Emily and Tash kicked me.
"Don't kick me! What did I do?" I asked as I sat up.
"You pig. You dozed off!" Tash giggled.
"Anyways. Moms calling for dinner. Dad's back and Taka and Koshka is staying here today."
"What? Why?" I asked, shocked by such news.
"Dunno. Stuffs, I guess. Cmon hurry up you dumb twat!" She rushed me. I grabbed my blue sports jacket and left for dinner. Everyone was already at the table, even dad.
"Sup..." I greeted.
"Cmon. Hurry up. We're waiting." Dad smiled.
I sat down and started eating sushi that Kosh made.
"Pass the Wasabi." Taka nudged. I tossed it up in the air as he swiftly caught it. So that was just a dream, wasn't it? I couldn't possibly die next year! I took my knife and started cutting the stake.
Meanwhile in the room of time...
"Uh... Molticana?" Margret asked.
"Yes, Margret?"
"I have feelings for Mr. Sean!" Margret blurted out. Molticana frowned.
"However, my dear Margret. You know the rules..." Margret nodded sadly.
"We are having a new residence coming soon. Her name supposedly is Arie." Margret nodded again. "She will be arriving shortly... She is a poet." As the Time continue flowing...
