Everyone heard the blood-chilling howl, sending several demons from the mortal world. Marching in their direction to fight against them. Four celestial elements quickly dismissed the idea to follow Karmic. The people of the town need them the most.
Karmic keep herself alert, knowing that she'd standing at the Tartarus, where those who committed heinous crimes are punished.
For a split second she feels a hopelessness engulf her, but she saw a blade glistened.
'The mighty sickle' she gasps.
And there she saw a tall, a powerful man with a black hair and beard, dressed in simple robes.
'I waited patiently for this to happen,' the man said walking towards her, "Cronus," she mumbled.
'In this realm, I will reign!' Bellowed Cronus
"You hide your appearance behind the omen of chaos. You control everthing to win against God slowly conquering their realm. Or you just want to challenge Hecate for getting jealous that she has what you had before, and it's even more powerful." Karmic explained.
'No! I'm not jealous of anyone! I'm the Father of Time. And Hecate is nothing but a witch!' He explodes.
"You used the time of the Dark Moon, and you knew the veil between the world, and the world of Spirit is extra to thin that can easily destroy by you," she snapped, "You used the Dark Moon as the gatekeeper to the lower world, a great opportunity to connect more deeply with the sinner soul."
Cronus laughed, "well said! But you need to die, Technically you rule the realm of time; pass, present and future hence to see the future. Once I have killed you, the veil of different realms will be ruined. That time I can take my revenge to the Olympus. Time to make Olympus to fall" Karmic stepped back nervously, as Cronus thrust his scythe.
"And I will not let you make it happen," she said, looked a bit terrified.
'They'd say that I am the chosen one to behold the power of Hecate, but I'm weak how can she choose someone like me. I'm just an 'instrument' a mirror of time, to see the future. I'm just a daughter of a mortal and a fallen angel. I'm not strong like my parents.'
'Do I have a real friend? Not a celestial elements that I need to summoned just to talk, but a real friend like a simple mortal.'
'Sven. He liked me, yes. But did he like me as the real me? Maybe he liked me because he thought I was a strong independent woman? Or maybe, just maybe he liked because I'm the instrument that can reverse the time.'
'My parents did they feel proud? Did they feel sad to every time that I'm not with them? Did they love me?'
All those thoughts running in her head for a short of time. 'No! Stop manipulating my mind.' She pointed out.
"Only one thing that I know I can do to stop you," she faltered.
Call her weak, but this is the only thing that can help her. She closed her eyes as she chanted every single words, thinking that everything we will back on normal.
“Hecate light of wild souls
Light my way by your bright burning torches.
Burn the evil spirits that are blocking my way back to the living creatures.
Hecate great Mother of all
Protect me with your rage.
Help me break the glass
That preventing me from returning.
Hecate, Hecate, Hecate,
Guide me back throughout the light."
Karmic called on Hecate: it's time to act as one.
But she felt the scythe shrank to her chest. A few meters farther, she saw a shadow of ebony wings, "father," she mumbled.
Caspian rushed to help his daughter, with inhumane strength he swept his wings toward Cronus. Letting his anger out.
His face was tight with concentration, but something blasted, stopping them. Hecate roared with outrage, she raised her wand and a light shattered souls of the dead sprang up with their claws dragging Cronus into a chasm.
"This is my realm, and I will not allow anyone to take it from me." she said, her voice hummed with power.
"My child," Caspian whispered, his ebony black wings slowly stretched at his side, "its time to go home," he cooed.
Getting up from his place, stepped back, as he spread his wings and fly.
Everyone watched Caspian holding his child in his arms not moving, Sven run towards them but ebony wings restrained him to get near them.
"Let me see her!"Sven said, Reign moved towards them she knows that the ebony wings recognized her.
"Caspian," she called him, nodding toward Sven whose standing beside them wanting to hold their child.
Karmic tried to open her eyes, once she felt the aura of Sven, “Its feel like the sun and the moon arguing over who will tuck me in." Karmic jokingly mumbled to Sven.
He pulled his hair, he shouted, “Stay karmic! stay with us! I can't let you go like this," he hiccup, "without telling you at least once that I love you."
