Chapter 11 - A Maiden's Journey through time

As Violet continues fearing for the worst, Mede gives Violet some small talk, "listen Violet if you want these gods to survive, then give me all your power." Violet realized that what Mede wanted wasn't the power of the god of time, but the absolute control over magic that Violet wielded, "and if I give it to you?" Violet was hesitating for a moment whether or not she should doom all the separate timelines just to save her friends or sacrifice her friends for the timelines to survive, "of course if you give it to me, I won't kill these sorry excuses for gods here." Violet knew that if she gave in, everything would be in danger, she was in a standstill of choices, "why do you want to do this? and why not take my power yourself!" Violet yelled at Mede out of her nervousness and stress, "of course, if you keep having your immortal divine power, you'll be immortal by ordinary means, but your power isn't that of an ordinary god like these here, your power ranks above all but a few individuals." Violet didn't know what to do and started to lose hope, "and if you take too long, I'll kill them too." Violet became even more stressed after knowing she a time limit for her choice which would affect not just her, but everything that exists, Violet thought she could've just waited for her power to be under control, but this time she had no choice.

Violet remembered a scene from before the war, when she was still known as Vemillia, "hey Vemillia! want to go to the spring fountain with us? I heard it sooths the soul!" an person unknown to Vemillia called out to her, Vemillia walked with the other demi gods to the fountain, "here sit down, the water should come to us by itself." all the girls sat down, for some reason, Violet who was in Vemillia's body and mind, started wondering why the girls were being so nice, "hey, why're you being so nice to me today?" Vemillia asked, "what do you mean nice? it was only for the few minutes we spent walking here you know." Vemillia felt fear after that which Violet could not understand.

"what do you mean for those few minutes?"

"don't you get it, we were just luring you here, you air head!" suddenly a few demi gods which Vemillia didn't see when they were entering, appeared in front of her, they grabbed her arm and held her up, "hey! let me go!" the girls laughed at Vemillia's effort to escape, "you aren't going anywhere until were done with you."

"you caused my reputation as the smartest girl in school to fall apart!" a girl screamed.

"you made me look like an pig with your good looks!" screamed another.

"you're just a teacher's pet! I hate you!" one by one, all the girls screamed the reasons for hating Vemillia, Vemillia got punched in the stomach by one of the girls, she seemed like their leader, she ordered the girls holding Vemillia to hold her up again for her to punch her again, when Vemillia was lifted up again, their leader said, "listen, my name's Mede, I don't have any particular reason for hating you but, my friends hate you, so I will too." Vemillia thought what she was talking about was unnesscesarry, but she couldn't help but feel angry, Vemillia, fueled by her anger for such things, banished Mede to the lower world with a forbidden power that she wasn't aware she had, after banishing Mede to the lower world, Vemillia was made a official original god, magic that could banish gods was never created before, so after using her own original spell, she was crowned an official original god.

"this same situation happened to you before, but you banished me, but you didn't banish the others, but you banished me who didn't hate you instead." when Violet woke up and heard what Mede was saying, she said, "that's unnesscesarry." Violet began to glow as Vemillia's abandoned spirit began returning, Vemillia whispered to Violet, "I won't be around for long, so you'll have to finish this fight," the glow faded away, and Violet saw the back of Vemillia as she stepped out from Violet's soul, "what! that's not supposed to be possible! no god could ever come back from reincarnation!" Violet fainted as Vemillia walked closer to Mede with her hand out ready to banish her to the underworld where she belonged, "I won't accept this! I will never, after you banished me, I harbored an undying anger for you!" a dark aura started consuming the area as Vemillia kept walking forward, "go away! step back! no!"

as Mede pleaded for her life, she tried to think of a way to escape her predicament, but she couldn't think of anything but reincarnation to save herself and hope for the enemy's mercy, "I thought you were strong for standing up for others at first after a few years since what happened, but now it looks like you're just doing this for yourself now." Vemillia said, a white light brighter than the sun shone in Vemillia's hand, the white light blinded Mede making her unable to reincarnate, "is this the same magic as that weapon!?" Mede panicked knowing there was nothing she could do, and the white light devoured Mede.

When Violet woke up after being unconscious, she looked around and tried to recall what happened before she woke up, "uh.. no use, I can't remember much besides seeing Vemillia." Violet looked at Inz and Timothy, Violet was shocked when she saw that Timothy was alive and kneeling over Inz, Violet's view was still blurry but it looked like Lein's body was also next to Timothy, "I thought Lein died?" Violet tried to get up, then Timothy looked at Violet with happiness in his eyes, "Violet! I thought you'd died! what happened? why are Lein and Inz dead!?" Violet looked over at where Lein and Inz were, she had remembered that Lein was killed, but something long was protruding out of Inz's back.

"when I woke up, I saw Inz dead beside me and when I looked for Lein, he was lying dead in the forest as well, so I teleported him here to see what happened." Timothy started crying, when Violet's vision returned, she saw Inz with a multiple spears stabbed into her back just like Lein, "when I examined Lein's body, he had the same pierce marks in him but no open wound, it was Mede wasn't it." Timothy seemed to have taken their deaths hard, "were you all close?" Violet looked up at Timothy as he wiped his face, "well all three of us including Felix, used to be in the same class back in heaven, and we were assigned to the same group as well at the start of the war, but then Inz and Lein were transported to the frontlines using my magic to teleport them there, but when the war ended, I received news that they were knocked down to the mortal timeline."

"and they were all knocked down in the different places?" Violet asked, "different places, as in different timelines would be more accurate, but I didn't see Mede though." Violet then remembered what Vemillia had told her before she fainted, "Vemillia dealt with Mede." Timothy went back over to Inz and Lein, "well it would make sense that a original god would be able to do that, in fact I'm an original god myself, but my power is fragile and hard to control so it could be easily stolen if I'm not careful enough, and that's what happened in the war so now here I am."

"then what should we do now that it's only the two of us?" Violet had started thinking about whether or not Timothy would continue the mission, "we'll go to the next shard, my power is something I must get back no matter what happens, because if my power were to fall into the wrong hands, then all the timelines might be destroyed if they so wished for it."

"so were going on to the next timeline now?" Timothy readied the shards, "the next shard is even further away, it'll take quite some time for us to make it their with the power I have now, I estimate it to be about a week before we get there." a portal opened and Violet steadied herself, they both walked into the portal to a new world with a system rarely seen in all of the timelines.
