I stared at my phone, waiting for my final class to end. I waited for Aqua to say anything through our link but absolutely nothing. I called for him time after time, I was practically begging for him to say anything.

There was a moment where I felt him entered the link as if he was going to talk. Then he pulled out so fast I left my class room and shouted through. Nothing but dead silence.

I was on edge and sitting in class was not helping. I could speed time but Xeraphina would know and I'm not in the mood to get lectured. So now I wait.

There was movement in my mind and his warm presence soothed me.

"Leave school. We need to talk." He spoke shortly and then left our link.

I grumbled and checked my phone. Ten more minutes I could wait or... I could skip them. I reached for my crystal and stopped. No, I can wait.

I slumped back, and sighed.

Our link opened again and he was giving a fiery presence and I knew he was growing impatience.

"Marisol, let's go."

"Just wait, okay? We have like a few minutes!"

He huffed and for once stayed with me.

"Look, I just wanted to say sorry for what happened. I didn't think my dragon would snap but Rebelliere said that her string came back and that she wanted to be with you and I-."

"Aqua, it's alright. I understand what's going but you need to learn to control yourself. Just a little bit would be great."

He sighed deeply "My dragon isn't used to Earth. It's not our terriority and its used to freezing tempratures not... this."

"Yeah, I'm sorry about that. It takes some getting used to!"

"Alright, how many more miuntes?"

I took another peek at my phone, five more minutes I really didn't want to wait.

"Don't even think about it. You know it against the crystal laws to abuse your power."

"Ugh, I forgot you can read my mind right now! Alright, alright, we can actually wait but..."

"What?"

"Did Rebelliere really say she wanted to be with me?? God, she doesn't take a hint..." Even after kicking her in the head and pretty much spitting fire at her, she would hold off.

"Wait, you kicked her in the head?? That's hilarious!"

"She had it coming, okay?? What she said was out of line!" I huffed in real life, packing my stuff up. Running out as the bell rang.

How does someone not feel bad for nearly killing her people off? It's... disgusting...

"Marisol, death is something Crystal Angels know. They are eternal beings like Edeniods. She didn't fully understand what she did."

"That makes no sense. Sadness and guilt are emotions they can feel! And she understands what she did!" I was frustrated, why did no one think this this is as bad as I do?

I meet with him outside and saw him sitting in a sleek black motorcycle.

"She doesn't feel bad since she technically didn't kill Isabelle herself. Yes, she planned it but she thought she was freeing her." He said out loud when I came close enough.

"Death isn't an escape!"

"To you, it can never be. But things come to an end because they have to." his voice was low.

"What are you talking about?"

"Have... have you ever consider that that you'll out last this planet?"

I paused
"What-?"

"Or this solar system or this galaxy?" The look in his eyes made my heart pound. I knew that I'm more then just a goddess. I had eternity in my blood and my very being, the forces of the universe woven into my soul.

I looked away. I didn't want to talk about this. Not now or every.

"You said you want to live as a human?" It didn't completely sound like a question more of a obscure fact.

I nodded.

"Be honest with yourself and look around you. Look into the kids around you and see their souls, their fate and legacy. Everything binding as human willing bends to you."

I watched kids walk past, I could see their souls burning bright. I could see future monsters and the saviors.

Without meaning too, I looked to the ground and shut my eyes.

"Tell me Marisol. Is what you see in front of you human? Is the marking that connects our souls human?"

Snagging my helmet from the side compartment, I snapped it on without answering.

"Your majesty, fate likes to fuck you up and it likes it rough." Aqua growled in my ear.

"Shut up and take me home." I plopped down onto the seat.

"As you wish, princess." he continued to sass me as he drove us away from the school.

I know I'm not human. I know.

We arrived at my family's home, my home when I was human.

My family was shocked and happy to see me. All they heard was the story of my being stabbed straight through the chest. There were videos of the entire incident and the time humans spent was recorded.

I had to keep low but it was impossible and useless. It aired on the news nonstop and my grand entrance fueled it even more.

I didn't live here. The place I was raised was no longer home to me.

It hurt. I missed casual nights of games and laughs with my sibling.

Now... all they see is the girl who become know as the future messiah. A goddess sent to save humanity.

"Marisol, stop. You can't change what's in your very being." Aqua's voice yanked me from my thoughts.

I grunted, leaning against his shoulder after taking my helmet off.

"Go and say hi. Cutting them off won't help you feel better."

Damn him and always being right.

I went up to the front door and walked in. There was my dad napping on the couch as usual. I kicked my shoes off and went to hug him as he woke up.

It was the same routine everyday of greeting my dad and whoever else was home. I enjoyed talking with them before leaving with Aqua.

I wasn't their child anymore. I never really was. I never will be.
