In a room with a queen-size bed there laid two people a man and a woman naked.
The most striking feature about them was their colors of the hairs. The man had Platinum color hair while the woman had blood-red color hair.
The woman laid in the arms of the man who was staring at the ceiling for quite some time without even blinking the eyes for a second.
'I have now done it… to think this was how my dream come true… it's truly pathetic'.
He looked at the woman with blood-red hair with a conflicted expression.
"I have better things to do than being stared down by a brute who doesn't know how to treat a young maiden first time".
As the sentence got finish off the blood-red hair woman raise her head while resting her body on the man.
"What, cat got your tongue Eon? Or you are awestruck by my magnificent".
Hearing this Eon gather his thought as he shoves the woman aside and got up from the bed and answered back
"Just thinking about what my future self has done to deserve such a reward, that is getting a treat from my future wife before the marriage".
"Don't dwell into it for much longer this was the one time offer to sever my bonds with you once and for all".
Sage replied with a serious tone which was received nonchalantly by Eon.
"Glad to hear that we sought the same thing".
Receiving this answer Sage went quiet for a few seconds as it hit harder than she had expected.
"So how is your gift do you like it?".
"Well for a bastard it was within my expectations and that gift of yours was the reason I surface on top of present Sage will.
"Oh right… YOU Son Of A BITCH!!!, you almost lock me in her mind to act like a grandma in one of those Novel".
"Well that is to be expected and I have to remind you that you don't have much time until she surfaces again and become dormant".
"…"
Sage was speechless by the revelation though she knows about it still, she knows it but it was confirmed after Eon had said it.
"Hey, Scarlett how the housing going as the new residents of Sage Manor".
As he said that a red face with a wide-open mouth and white slanted triangle-like eyes appear from Sage's shoulder. (Picture Venom face here).
"What do you think will happen when someone gives you such an amusing vessel which contains both the consciousness of present and future?".
"Let me guess Fun Unlimited".
No one said anything after that sentence there was an awkward silence between the three of them not knowing what to speak.
As the silence goes on for a few seconds, Sage broke it with her question.
"Why do you go to such length to separate my consciousness? And why did you help me to be dormant for time being?".
Eon looked at Sage with a mix of Love and amusement as he replied,
"Will you ever be an immature girl with a hint of wisdom and total craziness like her?".
Sage did not say anything instantly, she took her time to analyze herself before answering.
"My future and past self have polar opposite personality if she is impulsive and reckless then I am calm and careful.
If she uses her wisdom to overcome obstacles then I use wisdom from my experience to overcome it".
"There you have it, the girl I had sight on will never succumb to be a mere part of her future self where her memory will be overtaken by a future consciousness who is born by nothing but prediction and possibilities, definitely not under my watch!".
Sage stare at Eon for few seconds before digesting the sentence he had just spoken.
"What do you mean by this…"
Eon smirk at her before getting up as he dressed.
"I am telling you that you are only a possibility, cause your fucking breed keeps on altering the future with their every move".
"What do you mean?".
"When were you sent back 2 to 3 hours before or more than that? In those two hours, some events were probably rewritten differently than you remember the events you know by those Travellers which are categorized under Chosen one".
"So you are saying that I am nothing but a consciousness who had a glimpse of the future?".
"No, you can consider yourself as a data of the future who was separated by me to make sure the present Sage should remain dormant after receiving this data input leaving you and your memory as a third party.
It would have been a lot simpler if those bastards have told me sooner, I would have cloned you and send you to that clone by the way that clone will be considered as a bonafide Dragon like her she would have the rights that of the Dragon Princess except contesting for the throne".
After saying this Eon who was fully dressed walk over to the sofa as he sat there facing the bed with the legs on the teapoy.
"Shoot any questions you have I will answer it".
"Does the Council of Gods know what you have done?".
"Before doing this Nah… after she becomes dormant yeah".
Sage looked at him as she asked him seriously
"What about the punishment by the Gods and Guardians for interfering with a Chosen one?".
"Well, that one was tricky but that was sorted out by giving me the authorization to stabilize you, and as we know that I had split you beforehand, so this timeline Sage will remain calm and collected that is she is stabilized while you will be working as her grandma or fate changer so I have never broken a rule"
"Why do you want to preserve her consciousness so much".
"You know the answer to it right?".
"Aside from loving her you probably loved me also that I can be sure of so what the main reason I don't know, please explain as I think this will be my last time talking to you when I overtook ber body right?".
Eon did not say anything for a few seconds while contemplating the answer before sighing as he looked at her eyes directly and said.
"Remembered the incident when we were 14 when you were dragged in your bodyguard conflict?".
"Yes…don't tell me…".
Not letting her finished her sentence a red light flashed on Eon's body moving from right to left.
As the light flashed over, the Eon who was sitting there was completely changed.
There was a scar running over his right eyes from top to bottom, his right eyes had a lifeless look as it was artificially made, but what truly shock Save was his left arm which was nowhere to be seen it was only his shirts empty sleeves which were hanging at his left side
Looking at this site Sage's mind went blank for a few seconds before she looked at his face which had a brutal scar on the right from top to bottom enveloping his right eyes which were lifeless.
As she saw this a flash of memory appear where a young man around her age had his left hand brutally chop off by his opponent while his right eyes were cut through as he laid on his blood.
"You are Jake from back then!!!".
"Now you get, Sage it was you who showed me what is crucial and what is not!
You are the one Sage who showed me and paved my path to what I am today!
Because of you, I left my naivety and kindness behind!!!
You help me to understand what people truly fear!!!".
Sage was baffled at the moment when Eon keep on rambling about her.
"You… you took what I told you during my chuuni days seriously are you sane?.
You would be a complete crack if you took what a chuuni said so literally even when you are on verge of death!".
Sage was completely baffled because the reason Eon admire her was that her chuuni self sprouted some nonsense on his deathbed.
She was so embarrassed by this fact that she wanted to dig a hole and hide there for the rest of her life.
Hearing this answer Eon burst into laughter which made her more embarrassed and uncomfortable.
After a few seconds, Eon stop laughing and said with a half-serious and half-amused face.
"Haha… you were one hell of a character back then.
Because at that time I was thinking about saving others over my life I would have probably died back then you…".
"What I had said to you was 'is it worth dying for? Will you ever regret this? Is you will ready for you to die if not stand up!' don't associate me with your psycho imagination!".
Sage did not let him finish his sentence as she replied to him to let him know what she had told him to not let him spout any nonsense due to his imagination.
Eon was stunned for a moment before realizing what was going on as he replied.
"Ah… Don't get me wrong what I am telling you the question which you asked me except the few nonsenses you said that time wakes me up or more precisely it wakes me from my fantasy where everything revolves around humanity and naivety.
Due to that, I was able to discard my humanity while being in control and went on a rampage for the first time though it was for a few seconds I was able to escape from that shithole reach and preserved my life back then to get revenge.
You wanna know what happened to that shithole can you guess it?".
Sage was surprised by Eon's explanation but when she heard his last question she looked at him as though she was looking at degenerate.
"You kill him while making him watch his whole family raped or killed right? That's the kind of piece of shit are you!".
Eon heard her answer but did not get angry instead he replied to her with a crazed expression.
"Wrong, nowadays we are playing hide and sneak. Whenever I am bored I go on a hunt for him and his family if they were caught within a month after the game starts his family member or his close relative who got caught will die a death by torture while everybody watches the lucky person till he or she has taken his or her last breath.
Though who were once loyal to him started betraying him one by one so that I can spare their worthless life while he and his family got torture.
What do you think ain't it's exciting to let them feel what I had suffered when I was only 14 because all I did was to stand up to him for his human trafficking business and what's worse was that nobody, not even my father, mother tried to save me what they told me that take it as a life lesson.
What do you think would that naive little boy will think huh? Can you guess it?".
Sage remained silent she was speechless by his narration of the event that had happened in his past.
Watching her being silent or more precisely not able to answer him Eon raised his aura to that of a solemn one and said.
"Fuck this world if you want to live then you have to live with your strength. Fuck parents, fuck everyone they will always turn back on you at a critical time even though they appear all sweet and mellow.
Never believe in anyone's word even if they were your parent's cause they will betray you better close your heart and play a comfy role a filial son and a faithful friend till the end until you betray them or they betrayed you.
If it was my decision I would have never come to this place ever again but that bastard of a father drag me here and giving me some shitty line sending me to a psychiatrist telling me that I am unstable and giving me a mission to recruit some trusted subordinate.
So I did what I should have done acted like a good 'ol virgin boy playing houses with few runts while always formulating a plan of how to make this shitty world more exciting so I join Guardians to feel more amused by feeling the hopelessness of people first hand the expression they show in despair these are now my top-class entertainment nowadays.
This… this is how it feels to be Eon Turf do you get it, Sage?".
Sage was startled by the way Eon burst with excitement close to that of euphoria when he talked about his entertainment.
She had never seen this side of Eon even in the future. The Eon in future and present were not complete opposite but the way they act was different.
Eon of the future, was more collected and calculative he would never let anger or irritation get to him he was always relaxed without a care for the world be was truly amazing in the future compared to his present version.
"So is it your story or just some random crap".
Eon looked at her without any emotion opposite to the excited expression.
"Well… it was the truth because on my deathbed I can sense Alex and Ally who were right there watching me as I was about to die at that moment.
I am thankful to you Sage because your words woke me up before they act to save me while spouting some bullshits.
Do you know that when I escaped from that thing I lost consciousness and when I regain it I was all patch up like the nightmare I have survived through never happens but the memory of that time was still fresh, so I got up and asked Alex and Ally why didn't they save me?
The answer was 'This was the trial to see if you can overcome it while we were evaluating you.' just these words were uttered by them.
At that time I was gone completely blank I was not able to think anything but a question come to me was it worth it?
At that time I can feel my mind and my resolution become firmer as I round up my prana, mana, and astral power and destroyed my right eyes and whole left arm so that it would never be able to regenerate ever in front of them and said 'be ready to receive all the tough love I have got'".
Sage was silently listening to him as she was so overwhelmed by the story that she forgot that she was naked and being eyed by Eon.
"Didn't they tried to stop you?".
"Oh yeah they did Alex even reverse the time to restore the damage but I did it again but this time I basted both my arm and eyes cause I never want their fake sympathy!"
A chill fan down in Sage's spine as she shivers with the shrill insanity of Eon's story and his emotion which we display while portraying his story.
"Don't tell me you keep on busting all your limbs till he stops healing you?".
"Well matter of fact I even crippled my self I was even lying on the floor with all my limbs exploded, burst eyes and blood from my all the orifice I was not able to sense anything, not even my body.
At last, due to frustration he healed ms and ask Why?".
Eon paused for a second as he watches Sage who was on edge of her seat as he continued.
"Before answering him I again blasted my right eyes and my left arm as I confessed.
'It was Worth it!!!'"
