"Seeing oneself in the flesh is not merely a reflection. It's a moment where past, present, and future converge in the mirror of existence. Reminding us that we are both the sculptor and the clay of our own destinies."
I took the body in my horse and rode back to the castle. I was lost in thought of finding reasons for this appearance of another me. Was it due to the ripping of time or was it because…Before I could continue my thoughts, I see General Scourge waiting in silence for me…
"Who is this behind you?" he questioned.
"Surprisingly, its neither Karalos or Areli…" He paused and threw the body to the ground, revealing it's face. "Rather it's me."
Scourge stood flabbergasted and jumped out of his skin… "There's no way the gateway of the Great Mirror will break off. A God must have been killed… Take him to the King Fotis' room. We will discuss about this there."
We arrived at Fotis' room and by that time he started to gain his senses back. Fotis also stood stunned after seeing him. The other me opened his eyes slowly and with a quick move tried to throw a knife. He missed. Even if there is a multiverse, I am still the best of the all my versions.
"Are you the one who killed Lucius…?" he hastily asked.
"Yes… but why would it matter anyway…" I replied angrily.
"HELL, it does. Our own decisions are the cause of this…" he cried. He sat down to the nearby chair and started to tell the story that he just wants to throw off. "The first time when we failed to kill Lucius, we thought none of our shots had hit him. But in reality, every shot had hit him! He then went to the best fortune teller of the universe. The fortune teller told him that in the future we will eventually kill him. Said that we are something that will bring order in the universe but will bring chaos along with it. He then decided to break the Great Mirror, a gate that stops us to travel in between the multiverse. He then killed Eros, which led to the Great Mirror to get cracked. This then made the other Lucius to meet with this universe's Lucius. And as now the Great Mirror is broken, whatever happens in your world, the whole opposite thing will happen in my world. So, you did kill Lucius but my world's Lucius is still running around universes. To be on the safe side, only one out of 12 mirrors broke, we have to stop him to break other mirrors…" He stopped and drank 4 glasses of water in a second.
"Before time, only two Gods existed. Damian and Elena. The love between them causes a huge explosion to occur which we call the Urknall and the birth of the universe took place." General Scourge interrupted. "Both Damian and Elena got scattered into the empty newborn universe. Elena, in one side, started to stars and magic. She created the first magician named Aurora, the Magician Queen. On the other side, Damian created all the worlds and mankind and Gods from his blood to guide his creations.
Decades passed by and they continued their work and they finally got to meet each other. Damian was scared if they start to love each other again, the universe might explode again. Elena agreed with Damian and then the Gods and Aurora created a kingdom of Gods, where the first creation of Damian sat, Kratos. Aurora among all was not happy, so she decided to kill Damian which she succeeded to do. Aurora went out of the time, which caused the universe to break into 12 pieces.
This caused chaos all around the universes which killed all the Gods except Eros, Kratos, Hermes and Gaia. They used to all their powers to create a mirror between the universes called the Great Mirror. After that, they trapped Aurora in a place worse than hell. Legends say that her screams are so powerful that it can destroy everything at once."
"What happened to Elena." The other me asked.
"We yet don't know. It is said that she has turned into a powerful being that even the Gods are scared of… She now became the Box of Trinity… enthroned at the Forefront." General Scrouge answered. "Alena's existence might be a myth , but somewhere out there, lies the Box of Trinity."
"The only solution to restore what was within the shadows of the world. Fix this world, peace will be restored in the universe by its own will. The only way is War with the Gods." the other me implied.
We all were in deep thoughts. But only one thing that was running in our blood was vengeance. Fotis summoned all the soldiers in the battlefield.
"I, King Fotis, son of the once God Eros, hereby stand in front of you as your King. Today I want to all to hear me out loud because this is something some of us waited for, some of us yearning for. Today, we start a war. A war forbidden in its own way but to us its the only way to save our home.Today, we take a step forward to kill the very Gods who created this worlds, who created our homes, but now they are taking over.Today, I announce a person who is uniquely suited to be our shield, to lead us into war, Alev, the Sorcerer Asesino, your War Chief. And now for those of you scared to go with us, you may stay here, you may stay here as cowards and for those of you, with brave hearts, get prepared, we will leave in midnight. Embrace with reverence for Eros." Fotis declared.
Everyone kneeled before him and chanted his name. In the midst of this, I was still thinking if Karalos and Areli will return back...
