I slowly opened my eyes, to find myself in the clocktower. It was in the same condition as before the war.
Mahale: "So... I'm Beth? Or..."
???: "In a way."
The woman with the lavender hair was standing next to me. She was removing her hand from my forehead.
Mahale: "Wait what... what happened? How did I get in here?"
???: "You were screaming in pain for hours. I helped you get home."
Mahale: "So you're... the Warden of Magic... right?"
???: "That's correct."
Mahale: "And... you know who I am."
???: "Yes."
Mahale: "Then... I'm guessing that you're... V? The girl I saw in... wherever that was."
???: "You really did lose your memories? Didn't you?"
I slowly nodded.
Mahale: "Can... I call you V? I don't have anything to call you."
V: "Yes."
Mahale: "Why is your hair so different? You had black hair."
V: "You could've asked me any question you wanted. You could've asked about Paradox, the Flux, Beth, but no - you chose to ask me about my hair."
Mahale: "Um... yeah."
V: "I liked it being lavender. I changed it to lavender. Are we done here?"
Mahale: "Wait... why am I in Paradox then? I'm not the Flux, am I? Since I'm one of the Wardens."
V: "You're not a Warden."
Mahale: "What? But Beth's a Warden. The Warden of Time, right?"
V: "Yes, but you're not really Beth, are you? You're Mahale."
Mahale: "...I thought I was Beth."
V shook her head.
V: "No, you're Mahale. Not Beth."
Mahale: "...You said I was Beth."
V: "I said 'in a way'."
Mahale: "What does that mean?"
V: "I can't tell you."
Mahale: "What? Why not."
V: "Actually, I probably shouldn't tell you anything else either. I'll leave this conversation with a warning. Stop trying to avoid fate. Let time run its' course, no matter what happens. Understand?"
Mahale: "What? But...:"
V: "That is all."
And in a shroud of purple mist, V was gone.
Mahale: "...I should go tell everyone I'm okay."
I left the clocktower to go outside. As I left, I felt a tear being shed from my right eye. I tried to ignore it.
Sol: "MAHAAAAAAAAALE!!!"
I saw Sol running towards me. He jumped on me and hugged me.
Mahale: "You missed me that much?"
Sol: "Wat? No. It's just that everyone else is rood."
Mahale: "Even Luna? She's nice."
Sol: "Yeah, but she's B-O-R-I-N-G."
