"Do you have any regret?"

Cal gasped as he jerked awake. What he had just seen was terrifying. The world was up in flames, everyone dead in the ground. And the one standing before their bodies?

Set.

He couldn't let that happen.

"Do you remember the ones you left to die?"

Cal stepped through time, traveling to the future. It was a gift he did not know he possessed, but one he used none the less. He ran to get there in time, to save at least one innocent soul.

He was too late.

"Do you remember who you left behind?"

He did it. He caught Set off guard, he had just killed a god. But... as he stared at Xylo's face one last time, he could only think one thing.

"Was it worth it, trading your own existence to save one in a future that was never truly meant to be?"

And as he watched Xylo get up again with tears in his eyes and a heavy heart, he only knew that one thought.

"The world was always meant to burn."
