Nitanz-
Dammit Dammit Dammit!
I grew entirely too comfortable around Skysin. It seems I was enjoying my little fantasy too much. I need to remember that he hasn't fully regained his former memories as Dranon.
That can only be achieved when he finds the five rings of eternity, or somehow meets that goddess herself. I only have one ring as of now. I had already used them one hundred years ago, and only managed to luckily keep the first that I had found.
My plan was to gift him this ring and the essence of my baby sister whenever he left, but it seems I'll have to force it onto him.
I looked down at Skysin, I could see the fear in his violet eyes. I took a step forward, and Skysin took one back.
Honestly, I found it cute...
"Skysin, what did you hear?" I asked, lightly giggling. I just find this scenario to be so ironic, honestly. I kill my own foster mother, and in the end, her great nephew just so happens to find out.
Karma at its finest.
Skysin shuddered, but he gnashed his teeth, looking at the floor, "why...why did you kill my grandfather? And Taekhyu?"
I was a bit surprised, really. My eyes had widened just a bit. I didn't expect her to give that much information, I should've killed her faster...
I shook my head, "I understand your anger, Skysin, really. But I had my own reasons for doing so. And I can't tell you why, right now." I replied, taking more steps to him as he continued to move back, "don't make this process even more complicated than it already is, Skysin."
Skysin's body had slowly faded from sight.
I looked to my left, coming to see his fist aimed right at my face. I raised my arm, blocking it with ease.
I swung the back of my hand to Skysin's face, but he quickly maneuvered, falling to the ground and sent an uppercut right to my chin.
I simply raised my pinky and blocked it, easily.
Skysin quickly moved back from me. I could see the terror, the anxiety, I could feel the anger from him.
I could see the will to live in his eyes.
Ah, even if Skysin hasn't recovered all his memories as Dranon, I still see it in him. Being stubborn as usual, and not backing down from a fight, even if he may be weaker.
I miss my husband so much...
Skysin made ice slowly creep all throughout the floor and sent many sharpened icicles right at me. I merely activated my pink aura, blocking his futile attack.
But Skysin raised his finger and shot a beam of light at my face.
"Oh my," I tersely spoke, deflecting his attack with a swipe of my finger. But when I put my attention back onto him, he was already gone. The only thing visible is Taekhyu's coffin, and the large ball of yellow light floating over a table. My baby sister's soul, her essence.
Very smart of Skysin, especially with him being at such a young age. It seems that Fiendevor woman and Rellgis have taught him exceptionally well.
I merely sighed, I'm not entirely sure as to what Skysin's plan is, however, and his options are extremely limited. I could say that he doesn't really have any.
Taekhyu created this place to be at least the same size as the Nova Region of Valorrey. That's about thirty-thousand miles across, it's quite vast. But I could sense Skysin's aura signature, he's running throughout this dimension quite fast. Much faster than I calculated.
He must be searching for another possible exit, but there isn't. Only one, the portal he had traveled through.
All in all, what he's doing is nothing but futile.
I tracked Skysin's location as he traversed the dimension, running far above the speed of sound.
I instantly teleported, coming to stand atop a hill, surrounded by a giant plain of amethyst grass, which seemed to be endless. Various numbers of beasts are all running and walking around.
I looked to my right, my eyes directly on Skysin's short stature as he dashed towards my direction.
I simply smiled, waving at him innocently, "~helloo Sin. ~"
Skysin quickly came to a stop, and hastily ran in the opposite direction, practically becoming the wind himself.
But this is interesting, he's moving faster than before. It's like his initial speed had enhanced significantly. He's nearly on the other side of the dimension already.
I grinned, and performed the same trick, teleporting to a jungle filled area. Nothing but towering red trees that stood at least eighty-feet tall. Large vines enveloping the woodland as monkey-like beasts swung around.
Just as Skysin arrived nearly a second after, I merely chuckled at the boy as he halted before me, "Skysin, there's no use in doing this, sweetie. Let's ju-"
Skysin wasted zero time, taking off before I could even finish my sentence.
I sighed.
The boy should know that doing this is a complete waste of time; he's not gaining anything. Despite his efforts, however, I can use this as a chance to inspect him more. His speed; it's phenomenal.
We began this little game of cat and mouse, me teleporting to his destinated location across the dimension. Each time I arrived, he took off, gaining speed at such a ludicrous amount of time.
Supersonic...
Hypersonic...
Massively hypersonic...
Skysin's moving at relativistic speeds!!
By the time I'd be there, he'd be gone. Skysin's nearly keeping up with me, and I'm teleporting across the dimension.
Is this what I think it is...?
As Skysin continues to run, his speed increases as well. It's barely even been five seconds since I really began to start chasing him, and he's already built up this much speed? This boy is only seven years of age, still a little child, and he can run at least 10% at the speed of light...? He's still building up speed as well, I don't think this is his limit at all.
This is truly marveling!
But I think it's about time I ended this little game.
I teleported in front of a large, deep pond. Just as I got here, Skysin was about to pass me.
I quickly reached my hand out, and grasped his arm, getting Skysin to stop. Skysin had quickly covered his free arm in ice, creating a jagged claw, swiping its chilled blades to my face.
I used the nail of my finger, and poked his hand, destroying his claws of ice completely.
With spatial kinetics, I used gravity, levitating him into the air, and covered him in my aura to keep him still. Skysin budged and shifted his body, trying to wiggle free. But it was useless.
I laughed, standing before the floating, golden-haired child, "I have to say, you really are a special one, truly. But that's enough fun for tonight, don't you think so sweetie?"
Skysin grounded his teeth, his violet eyes had sharpened, but he remained quiet. Skysin slowly spoke, "you're a murderer...you killed the woman who loved you with all her heart. And my grandfather...did you know him, meet him??"
I pursed my lips, it's so hard to lie to him...
"Yes, I knew Jagan. He trained me as well; he was truly like an uncle to me. And his wife, Jean, I loved her too."
"Jean...?" Skysin looked at me, befuddled.
I sat a finger on my lips, "ah, I can only figure that you never heard of her. Jean is Jagan's wife, your grandmother. Although she was..."
I paused for a minute; it'd be best to keep what her actual lineage is a secret.
I continued my explanation, although I wouldn't be telling the entire truth, "Jean is a human, she was very ardent and sweet, a passionate woman. But she died when Rellgis was born."
Skysin's eyes had widened from this, his mouth slightly open, complete disbelief, "you...you know my dad...?"
I chuckled, "I doubt that he remembers me, but yes, a cute child way back then. I used to watch him when he was a baby. And now he's a general, it's amazing how much time flies..."
"What...What are you...? Who are you?" Skysin asked. I could see the anger in his face slowly dissipate, altering into confusion.
I took my time walking over to Skysin, and sat my small hand on his cheek, giving him a loving smile, looking deep into his frightened eyes.
"I'm your wife, silly."
Skysin's porcelain skin had faded, losing his color, it looked as if he was turning into a ghost, "Alorerah...WAIT-"
I activated my spatial kinetics, freezing him in time. Viewing his eldritch expression.
I gave a huff, and looked up into the stars, reminiscing about my time here in this solar system, my time living with my mother, Taekhyu. Meeting Jagan, the other three deities. Killing them, slaughtering them, each one, even most of their families, except for a small few.
Rellgis is one, and the Phoenix's daughter, Savitra, I believe is her name. They'll be important for my plans, in due time.
I shook my head, and teleported back to my mother's tomb, standing in the room, looking down at this beautiful ball of yellow light. My unborn baby sister's soul.
I moved my hands towards it, her soul is warm, like a benevolent sun of innocence.
Teleporting back to where Skysin is present, frozen in time, I made the ring of eternity appear above my palm. It's platinum, glowing in a gorgeously warm tone of violet, along with intricate silver runes inside of it.
Holding onto my sister's soul and the ring, I warped the ring, fusing it with my sister, and closed my hand, watching her soul become as small as a coin.
I pressed my hand against Skysin's warm chest, performing a technique that my mother Taekhyu had taught me, allowing the user to move specific objects, or even souls into a person's body. It's a tricky process, manipulating my aura and raw vital, transferring it into the chosen individual.
As I transferred the ring and my sister's soul into Skysin, I decided to infuse a chunk of my aura into my sister with Skysin. This will facilitate the process for my younger sister to finally materialize and regain her body as she also absorbs Skysin's aura too.
To be frank, adding my aura with her will simply speed up the process for her to be born sooner. It shouldn't be too long, really. At least a few days to a week, at best. In a way, my younger sister will technically be me and Skysin's daughter because of her absorbing our aura.
It's a complicated explanation, however. That will have to be explained later.
I smiled, thinking about it.
I had finished and sat both of my hands onto Skysin's head. I really didn't want to perform this ancient art... but I don't have a choice now. If Skysin were to remember everything that happened here, it could ruin all of my plans.
This ancient art is called Tabula Rasa. Only people that have a complex understanding of spatial kinetics, being able to manipulate reality, can use this move safely. Any other individual with less experience could cause horrible circumstances, such as a person losing all their memory, becoming brain dead, or making their head explode as well.
"Tabula Rasa..." I softly spoke.
My hands glowed a bright light of violet, black wisps of darkness crept and swam around Skysin's head, and white balls of light began to slowly grow, gyrating at a snail's pace. I could see images of all Skysin's memories from his seven years of life, including the dreams he had as Dranon. It looked like I was watching multiple VHR tapes simultaneously.
I swiped my hand, meeting the images of his memory when he came to this dimension, meeting me, and all our time spent together. I hesitated, but closed my fingers, causing the large white ball of memories to black out, closing it from his mind forever.
I sat my arms under Skysin, prepared to hold his body. Then I unfroze him, his body steadily fell into my arms, and he immediately went into slumber, lightly breathing.
I gazed down at Skysin's sleeping face, and watched my tears hit his cheek.
Ever since I had reincarnated, my life with those bastards, my new family and world, has been nothing but complete hell. Fighting every day, killing innocent beings, taking over planets, living up to the seraphim's expectations...
Why couldn't I be born in this world with him? And grow to love each other again??
Truth is, I'm tired. Tired isn't even the right word, I'm exhausted, nearly defeated. But after I gained insight from the rings, and managed to get to this world based on luck because of what my people need from here, I can't give up yet...
I need to make sure everything goes according to plan, along with Skysin. What will happen to this solar system, galaxies, universes, will be utter chaos and despair. It's getting closer, then at the time of nigh, a new Judgement Day will arrive.
I must do everything I can, even if it means to ride along the edge of insanity.
I pressed my lips against Skysin's warm cheek, "I will not lose you again..."
The only thing I wish now is that me and my husband could've stayed dead. But I suppose I'll keep on going now, that I'm this far.
...And when I can't produce my own tears anymore, I will cry tears of blood.

Skysin Rillem-
I opened my eyes, staring at the night sky that steadily sat above me. The array of stars shined beautifully, along with the glowing moon glistening wonderfully.
I sat up, looking at my surroundings. I heard the rough noise of water crashing down onto the surface, and turned around, coming to see that I laid in front of that same waterfall with a large pond, staring at that cave behind it.
"What happened, how'd I get here...?" I weakly asked myself, rubbing my head. I tried my hardest to remember something, anything, but no matter how hard I tried, nothing came up.
Honestly, it felt like I lost my own memory. The last thing I remember was being chased by those beasts, and falling into some hole in that cave...
But how exactly did I end up back here? Maybe someone had found me? I'm not too sure...
I stood, listening to the light croaks of frogs, the songs of crickets and howls of melancholic wolves.
I need to get back home...
I took a step, making my way down the trail, heading back home.
