633: THE COMING STORM (1)

THE COMING STORM (1)

 'The Three Fates is pessimistic of his chance' she suddenly added

Loki only smiles bitterly

'They are old things that have seen too much and lack any positive thoughts'

'Positive thoughts? Erika said and she chuckles. 

'Didn't know you are such a bubbly person'

Loki laughed

'They lack hope and they lack drive. Seeing too much of the future, and seeing it fulfilled every time gives the false impression that nothing could be changed'

Erika just smiles bitterly.

She too thought the same before…. but after she got the memories form her older self she knew she was not entirely correct

There is another silence between them

Then Loki said, sighing

'It is still good to know the exact time when he will be returning' She only smiles slyly and she said

'I always wonder the relationship between you and him. Were you enemies or were you friends?

Loki chuckles. He rubs his chin and he smiles a bit, his eyes seem a little bit dazed as he seems to try to recall the past

Then he said

'In that other timeline, I was his one of his enemies. Then I was his rival. And in the end, a friend. And as I recently found out I was also his son in law.' And he chuckles

Erika eyes widens and then she laughs

'Ah, you finally know about Morgana relations with him' 

Loki laughs and ask

'You knew all along'

'Not all along. But in that other timeline, she too had once asked my prophecy.'

'About what?' Loki was curious. 

He did not know that his master and his ex-wife ever met with the Oracle. Another thing that he did know about her, he thought to himself.

'About herself' Erika answered and her face turns solemn. And Loki frowned. He could guess what Morgana ask

Then he asks

'Is it good?'

'It's bad' she answers. Then Loki ask another question. Because now, he could guess what Morgana was asking about

'At that time, did you understand the prophecy you were saying to her?' Loki could guess the answer but he still wants to hear the answer coming out from her mouth

'No' she answers honestly

'Now'? He asks

'Now, I understand' she replies and Loki sighed. 

The wind blows and they caress past these two people that are now once again being silent. 

Both of them think about Morgana. She is another ghost in Loki mind. 

Every time he thinks of her, he always felt a little bit regretful. 

And as for Erika, she had met Morgana. 

At that time, that woman was desperate to know her future. She had given a prophecy that one day she would lose all the things she loves and hold dear by her own hands. 

She would have no child to hold, no person to love and only pain would accompany her to her doom.

When asked who will end her, Erika reply the one that will end her is a child. 

At that time, even she did not understand her own prophecy. How could a child be the one to kill the Wicked Witch Morgana?

It wasn't until now that she understands. 

That child that bring about Morgana end is none other than Loki. 

Loki right now might have an adult face, but that is just his disguise. As he has the class Transformation Lord, he could transform into any face he wanted.

But truth of the matter is that he is still young. 

It is to his advantage that he could always pretend to be a grown up. 

The reason why such disguise as never unveiled was even though he had the body of his child his mind is a mind of seven-hundred-year-old.

That is why no one caught his act

Now he is around his teens. But that moment when he had sealed Morgana and buried her on Mount Everest, he could still be considered a child.

Maybe that is why Time God Jean sent Loki and not any other person to the past. Because Loki had the Transformation Lord class that enables him to disguise himself perfectly 

If not for the fact that Azief had grown strong too fast for Loki to catch up, Azief would never have known or even suspect that Loki is a child.

It was only now that certain prophecies that she had made in that other timeline made sense. 

Even then she was connected to this timeline. 

There were many tragic prophecies that she had divined but Morgana might have been one of the most tragic. 

She had sacrificed her own child and she had no one to love as the Price of such a dark sacrifice. 

That child of hers would have loved her unconditionally if it had the chance to grow up. But Morgana sacrificed her to return to the past. The bones of her own child to be lined up as formation circle of her dark magic.

She would have no child to hold, no person to love and only pain would accompany her to her doom.

That is her prophecy and her action had ensured that prophecy becomes a reality. They both sighed at the same time

'It is funny isn't it?' Loki suddenly said, sighing looking at the sky above him once again, the star twinkling and tonight for some reason everything looks so beautiful.

Erika nodded, agreeing

'It is funny' Then they both laughed. But the laugh does not indicate happiness or joy. It is a little sad

There was another silent moment between them. They both look at the sky. Thinking about what will happen. Both of them know that this is the beginning. They didn't know the adventure that Azief had experienced when he was perfecting his Disk and they don't care. They only care about what happens next.

The Time Crisis is the beginning of everything. 0

The moment it happens; many events will happen in succession. 

The years between the great events is sometimes short, sometimes long but even then they could not guarantee the exact time of such events anymore. 

Since some things have been happening earlier and some events were delayed. Changing the future was never easy, if not impossible.

But these two people is trying to do that impossible thing. 

Azief is a hero of a generation but these two that silently doing their duty, is also a hero. 

If they die and fall before the end, no one would know the sacrifice they have made, their accomplishment and no one would thank them. 

But they do it anyway. 

Because the alternative is more terrible.

As such, their shoulder look sagged most of the time. 

Like they were holding the burden of the world. A kid and a small woman playing chess with the rest of the Universe, each moves determining the rise and fall of creations
