    Post by Mythica 23rd June 2023, 1:38 am

    The rain was a familiar sound. The tapping of the droplets upon the stone and the distant rumble of thunder created a somber tone that surrounded the city of Magnolia. While the day had begun bright and sunny, the late afternoon brought with it dark clouds and a torrential downpour. Most people were making their way back to their homes or businesses, taking shelter from the sudden gloomy weather as the grey veil covered the sky above the city. The streets quickly becoming silent, save for the constant hail of rain and the occasional crack of lightning. However, despite the abysmal storm that had rolled in a single figure appeared unaffected. Walking across the cobblestone and huddled within a dark cloak a dark haired woman made her way through the streets. The water pelted her hood relentlessly, though it seemed she paid little mind. The cloak she wore stretched down to her legs, concealing nearly her entire body, including the girl’s arms. Periodically the hooded woman would glance downwards, using one arm to peek inside her cloak at the contents she had been safeguarding. A small frown on her lips. 

    Despite the heavy rain the hooded girl continued onwards throughout the streets. By this point they had been mostly cleared out, with a few stragglers hanging about who didn’t appear to mind the downpour. She largely ignored these strangers, her mind fixated on one goal, and that lay a short distance ahead. Painful memories tugged at the girl’s being as her mismatched gaze made contact with that house. Beautiful, but painful. Just another reminder as to why she had come in the first place. There was a small hint of hesitation when she came closer to the entrance, the woman finally halting her trudge through the rain in the middle of the road just beyond the doorway. She observed its structure, its make, red and gold eyes examining every inch. She remembered it all in nearly perfect detail, and that’s what made this so much harder. He didn’t deserve this. He didn’t deserve any of this. Yet what other choice did she have? Tell him the truth? No, he had been through enough, she didn’t need to add the weight of the dead to his conscious… Not when the living would still need his help. 

    And yet she continued to hesitate. As if locked in some sort of trance the cloaked figure just stood there, staring at the house as the rain dripped from her clothing. She knew better than anyone that time was of the essence, but for some unseen reason she could not bring herself to make that final step. That was until finally the gentle cooing of an infant broke her stare, bringing her mind back to reality. The woman opened her cloak slightly to see the two curled children resting between her arm and waist, wrapped in protective cloth and shielded from the elements  within the dark coat. 

    Mythica had been hiding these young ones from the world for some time now, not understanding exactly what to do with them. Never had she imagined herself a mother, at least not in the traditional sense. She had fostered creations before, but most were malevolent and vicious. Children were decidedly.. Less so. What could she hope to do with these twins aside from lead them on a bloody path that would shatter their father’s spirit? His son and daughter needed to be shielded from that. The curse still ran through their veins, but Mythica had hoped their infancy would delay its activation. Still, she prepared a note to warn their caretaker to avoid letting them taste blood. Inuki always hungers. The last thing Mythica wanted was to invite the Blood Wolf any further than she had. 

    Finally the girl stepped forwards, dropping to one knee and carefully placing the twins at the door, just underneath the portico. The kinds were still sleeping, but were already beginning to stir from the sudden movement. She knew she couldn’t linger long. Still, the chronomancer had a hard time taking her attention away from the little ones. The girl had locks and eyes that closely resembled her father, deep brown in color. While the boy looked uncomfortably similar to herself, with raven hair and a crimson shade upon his eyes. At least he didn’t have the same clock mutation she did. Mura could be spared that reminder. 

    “Be still, little ones. A better life awaits you just beyond.” She said as the children began instinctively feel their mother pull away, their sniffles being nearly drowned out by the heavy rain around them. “I have nothing to give but blood and pain, I will not risk that upon you.” She said aloud and in a soft tone. “You both deserve better than I.” The words sounded strange coming out of her mouth. Mythica could not remember the last time she felt this strongly about anything or anyone, aside from Mura. Yet when her eyes looked upon them the witch desired to see them thrive. That would not be possible with her. Still, the guilt weighed heavily as she chose to leave them in the care of their father. He was in the middle of a brutal conflict, was dropping this kind of responsibility on him selfish? Maybe, but she knew her husband would thank her one day for avoiding the alternative. Mythica was no caretaker, and danger stalked her travels. Perhaps they would give him something to fight for…

    The weather looked so damn gloomy this afternoon. He’d have to go back to his guild soon, figure out if people had some business to do indoors. Some found the gloomy rain for a much better atmosphere for a drinking contest than brutal heat, but to each their own. At the same time… there was something soothing about the rain that prompted Mura to take a nap beforehand.

    And so, he did. Plopped on his bed and closed his eyes… but every time he did so, he saw her. Lying beside him, awaiting his embrace. His affection. It was tormenting… she’d been missing for over a year. He’d searched everywhere, and even when his life was in danger, she dared not show herself. He was so sickly worried… clinging onto his pillow as if it could ever substitute her. As if…

    His head began to ring. That signature… that magical presence looming nearby… was he imagining things? Slowly pulling himself up from his bed, he took a deep breath and reprimanded himself for starting to fantasize about Mythica returning back home now of all times… but his head kept ringing. That was her!

    That… that was her! It was her! She was actually here?! Was it an illusion?! A trick?! He cared not the slightest, he just wanted to see her!

    Hastily, he pulled the door open to see a drenched, cloaked figure hunched over… what appeared to be a pair of infants twitching their hands out of the cloths that was wrapped around them. In his panic, he couldn’t fathom if this was some sort of joke or if the entity emitting her magical signature was actually his wife, but… his eyes widened. He looked angry. Really angry. Understandably angry!

    “Why… w-why, why, WHY-“

    One of the infants let out a squeak. A cute one, as if reacting to what he said with inquiry. His angered glare turned into a mixture of dread and disbelief as he looked down, slowly lowering his body to inspect the infants laid before him. Two of them, covered in cloth but slightly wet from the rain. And without knowing anything about them, he rested a hand on each… they were still warm. The cold hadn’t gotten to them.

    “… M-M-Mythica… is that you? P-Please, don’t mess with me anym-“

    One of the kids squeaked again, as if disturbed by his growing voice. He panicked and recollected himself, lowering his tone before continuing: “P-Please, j-just tell me… w-where have you been? Who are they? Who are these… these… t-these… n-nono way…” Something inside of him fell to the ground of his psyche and snapped, forcing out rivers of tears from his devastated self. He’d realized who they were… and she probably didn’t need to confirm it for him. Somehow, he could tell.

    And this is what she got for hesitating. Mythica could almost curse herself for not thinking ahead. Instead the chronomancer had just relied on luck, which was extremely unlike her. Masking her magic signature should have been second nature during something like this, and yet like many things today she had felt herself hesitant to do so. Mythica had hoped Mura would be at the guild, yet that became clearly not the case as the front door quickly swung open before the girl could even stand back up. The silence that came before Mura’s words were deafening.

    The chronomancer felt herself nearly freeze up for a moment, her hood still concealed her face and forbidding direct eye contact, though Mythica could tell it didn’t matter. A small veil of fabric wouldn’t be enough to hide the identity of his wife. The rain continued to pour around them, and when Mura spoke she could feel the anger and confusion in his tone. This wasn’t how she wanted him to find out, but now she had no choice. The witch steeled herself and finally lifted her head to meet Mura’s eyes, her own golden glow emanating from the darkened hood. Though as Mythica opened her mouth to say something, the sight before her nearly crushed her spirit. 

    Mura had taken notice of the children, his body lowering to get a better look. Even without speaking a single word she could tell what emotional storm was plaguing his spirit in this moment. Yet even in this revelation Mythica found herself feeling the familiar sensation of warmth around Mura. She hadn’t seen him for so long, and the forced isolation had nearly broken her spirit, and it seemed as though something similar had happened to her husband. He looked weathered but experienced. Like he had seen things nobody else had. More guilt swallowed her conscious as she gazed upon his form, to put him through as much as she had without a single warning was cruel, and she had no reasonable excuse.
    Finally Mura had managed to make out a full sentence, his psyche obviously still going through the turmoil that these unexpected events had thrust upon him. Mythica felt the strong urge to console her husband, lifting her hand slightly as if to place it upon his shoulder… Though she stopped herself yet again. No, it was too soon. Instead Mythica’s arm moved to lift up her hood, revealing the long black hair that Mura was familiar with, as well as her mismatched gaze. A small tear streaming from the golden clock eye. "I- I’m here… Mura.” She said, her tone almost quivering as she tried to remain strong, a somewhat somber smile upon her face. He seemed so enthralled by the children that the chronomancer knew it didn’t need to be said, yet she had given him silence for long enough. “She.. Has her father’s eyes.” Mythica said in a soft tone, temporarily breaking eye contact to look down at the children. Soon Mura began to well up, obviously feeling overwhelmed by the events that had happened in such a short amount of time. 

    “My words may seem hollow… And you would have every right to be angry, but I am truly sorry for what I did…” Mythica finally said as the babies continued to coo and whine between them. “For abandoning you after..” Mythica’s words stopped, her tone shaking as her mind went back to that dark day. “It- I hurt you Mura. The monster I was.. What it did to you.. What it would have done had you not..” Obviously the memory was getting too painful for Mythica to think clearly about it. After unleashing Inuki the only thing she remembered feeling was hatred and pain. That was until she awoke in Mura’s tired arms, too ashamed of herself to even speak. “I know how you felt when you faced that abomination, I never wanted to put you through that again…” Mythica would continue, her guilty conscience making her avoid direct eye contact with her husband. Even now she still felt like she was a danger to him, despite no blood being present. “Or them.” Her gaze drifted back to the children. “They don’t need to know what kind of monster their mother is…”

    Seeing her eyes again was too much. It was too much for the worn samurai who still had so little time to adjust to the vast ocean of news that befell him – the kids… and Mythica. She looked worn out too, upon closer look – just what on earth happened after that incident? Where did she go, and why did she hide?

    Was he… in danger? Was she that big of a threat to him? Was her mental state a sort of… I don’t know, conduit for something much more powerful than he could fathom?

    One of them, with dark-brown hair… a girl. With his hair, and deep eyes to boot. She looked a lot like him, that was certain… but she felt like she was freezing, so Mura held her tightly, which reminded him of the other one – a boy, with raven-black hair…

    He listened – after all, what husband didn’t listen to their wives in turmoil? He wanted to know more, and… he wanted her back. He couldn’t bear hating her for anything, she was so precious to him. The babies kept making weird sounds that Mura once made when he was an infant, much to his chuckling surprise as he found a very deep sense of relief from their voices. “N-Nothing to be sorry about… I think I understand now,” he spoke up with a clearer voice, his face still held low, “… A monster, yes. But… not one that we can’t-“

    Why did she say that? The kids, her kids… wait… were they bound with monsters, too? “W-Wait, what do you mean? We can fix this, I’m sure of it… they, they don’t look like they have anything wrong with them, b-but I can help. I’ve dealt with monsters so many times before… s-so why…”

    She almost sounded like she was saying her farewells. To her husband and kids. Why? “P-Please don’t leave us…” he begged, not knowing the extent of Mythica’s unstable nature. Not knowing the extent of her curse… or what price had been paid to bring her here.

    His words of encouragement should’ve been expected from the time witch, though hearing them firsthand again after everything that had happened was enough to make Mythica’s eyes soften and turn away slightly. She knew she didn’t deserve any of the chances Mura was giving her, but she wasn’t nearly strong enough to burden him with the truth. After all, Inuki was not solely responsible for the many things Mythica had done, just an unfortunate first step into the nightmare that followed. 

    When Mura’s hopeful voice continued to plead with her the chronomancer’s heart nearly sunk, knowing full well that his optimism was genuine and his heart was true. As time continued onwards this got harder and harder. When Mura pieced together what the girl had implied about their children the guilt only weighed heavier. “I know..” She would reassure the samurai. “I’ve seen you face off against so many.” Mythica would continue, a slight quiver in her voice. “But this beast runs deeper. I had tried to hide it from you for so long, yet I grew careless and you had to pay the price.” She would say, her eyes trailing back to the children below them. “There may be a way, you’re right.” Mythica would say, a soft smile forming on her lips. “For them, at the very least. I was going to go and find it.” Mythica would say, deciding to reveal some of what her plans had been. “I had hoped to leave them in your care while I did that, but I hadn’t planned on running into you… I wasn’t brave enough.” Mythica confessed. 

    As the conversation continued the rain only got worse around them, creating a constant rhythm of noise that drowned out nearly everything outside their speech. When Mura begged for Mythica to stay the tears were real enough within her own eyes as her hands balled into fists. She needed to do this, right? Ever since the skirmish the hellhound had been relentless within her mind, recently awoken from its slumber. If it hadn’t been for Mura’s intervention Mythica may have been lost to the creature that day. Yet she never wanted to put him through that terror again, for the girl knew how deep his love for her ran, and she knew Mura well enough to know it could be the death of him. If she lost control again and hurt him or worse Mythica wasn’t certain there was any coming back from the blood wolf’s jaws. Mythica responded to Mura by wrapping her arms around him in a tight embrace, the infants cooing and whining below them. “I could never leave you, not forever.” She would whisper. “I need to find a cure for them. You deserve that much at least.” Mythica finished.

    Finally releasing her hold on Mura the girl would gaze back up into his eyes. “They need you, Mura. More so than you may realize.” She would continue, Mythica looking somewhat concerned. “The places I may need to go are not safe for infants, especially ones with their conditions.” Her head tilted slightly though, returning her gaze on the kids. “Though I suppose we should give them names.” She said, it sounded almost like an afterthought. She had been too concerned with their safety that it hadn’t even occurred to the girl until now.

    … He began seeing her predicament clearer now. Something was threatening her sanity, wasn’t it? That… that beast which haunted her mind and flesh likely meant that she couldn’t be… around her own kids. Fate had screwed her motherhood over, just like that.

    She had no choice but to entrust their kids to him, but… kids needed mothers. Mura knew better than anyone, for a fact. He wouldn’t be able to substitute her, not at all by himself. Would this inflict on the children’s behavior later, too? Would this pain them like it pained him, or worse? He truly didn’t know.

    But Mythica implored him that they truly needed him, most of all. As if sheltering the family from the rain, her welcoming arms felt sad… as if the warmth was slowly ebbing away. Mura nudged closer to her, for such warmth was precious and couldn’t be wasted. Please, kids… remember this warmth.

    Almost comically, she was reminded that the kids weren’t even named yet. What a hopeless mother she’d become… but Mura’d been thinking. “I-I… only got a name for the son, at the moment…” he slowly revealed, much to the daughter’s grief as she almost understood immediately and whined in protest, “S-Sorry, sorry… the boy, I was thinking… n-no, it’s silly- can’t you name him? Please… he even looks like you, the most.”

    Mura’s face was darkening. Naming their kids should’ve been wonderful, an event to remember… and a pleasant one. Not one so heart-wrenching.

    The distant thunder briefly broke the silence between the two while Mythica continued to stare down at the children between them, allowing some time for Mura to take in what she was saying. For all of her plots and schemes, the girl had never expected to find herself in a situation like this. For years she couldn’t imagine a life without Mura, but she had gotten a bitter taste of it during her isolation. Seeing his face again, feeling his body, it was all too much for the woman. Knowing it was fleeting was the worst part. An emotion bubbled to the surface for but a moment, seeing her children below. Some form of primal anger began to rise while her balled fists only tightened even more. She had never wanted children. She had never put any thoughts or care into such actions before, so why did she feel this way? Why did she care about them? Maybe it was Mura’s love that had rubbed off on her, or perhaps something else. Before they came along Mythica could only show her kindness and her heart to her husband, temporarily locking away her darkness and chaos so that he wouldn’t see. Mura deserved better than what Mythica could offer him, but that didn’t make this feeling sting any less. After all the horrible things she had done why would Mythica feel this way about two infants? The grief and anger only grew larger the longer she looked at them, knowing she was helpless.

    Perhaps that was the worst part. No matter how much Mythica planned or schemed this monster was not something she could just defeat with some clever wit and a few well-placed bullets. Now that it was awakened it only grew stronger, ripping away any chance at a happy ending for the two wizards. If Mythica tried to fight it, tried to keep it contained like she had for so many years it would only get worse. The blood wolf had gotten a taste for freedom, and it was ravenous in its desire to escape once more. If she tried to ignore it for Mura’s sake there was no doubt in her mind that the samurai would be forced to end her one day, and she wasn’t sure if Mura was prepared to follow through with such an action.

    The bitter taste of irony was not something Mythica experienced often, but it seemed too apparent now. For years she had created plots and webs to ensnare others with curses and afflictions that they were powerless to stop, but now that it had happened to her Mythica could almost chuckle. Perhaps the time wizard was simply getting what she deserved? After all, giving birth to twins with a loving and caring father and being forced to leave them due to one’s curse seemed like something she would have done to someone else. Karma truly was a bitch, wasn’t it? No matter how badly the girl wished otherwise there was nothing she could do to stop it. Not now at least… Inuki was making sure of that.

    Mythica’s thoughts were broken once again when Mura spoke up, claiming he had an idea for the boy’s name. For a brief moment, Mythica’s somber gaze turned into a soft smile, but Mura quickly changed his mind once their daughter whined and he asked her to name him instead. “I.. I’m not sure if that’s..” Mythica started, locking eyes with her son. She already had this strange feeling connecting her to them, was it wise to reinforce it by giving him a name herself? After a minute Mythica would relent, realizing that it was only proper for the mother to have a say. “He should remember where he comes from.. Where his father comes from.” She’d start, still looking over the child with the raven hair. “Toki is a name from Midi I always liked..” She’d say again, the boy looking up at her almost instinctively when she said those words. His likeness to herself was a little unnerving, and Mythica just prayed that her curse was not as strong with him as it was with her.

    Her attention soon shifted to the girl, who looked so much like her father. Despite the immense emotion and dread the situation had thrust upon them Mythica couldn’t help but keep smiling when she stared at them, almost out of instinct. “And what of her..? She has the heart of a samurai, I can feel it.” She would say with a dry chuckle, trying her best to soften the impact of their situation after seeing Mura’s face. Causing him pain was probably the worst feeling Mythica had experienced, but she knew that it would only get darker if she stayed. Distant thunder rumbled again, but despite the heavy rain the only sound Mythica could hear was the soft breathing of her children and the silence from her husband.

    Toki…

    It was a Midijin word. It meant ’clock’. Did Mythica… think about this? How was she able to think of such a suitable name for their son? It was almost… no. It was a good name. He could be at peace with that – Toki Kensho. It even had a nice ring to it.

    Even in the terrible weather, Mura was able to crack a small smile. “Toki… I like it…” he sighed, his heart seemingly everywhere at the moment. Little Toki looked like he was resting soundly next to his twin sister, who also needed a suitable name. Mura wanted Mythica to name her as well… leave something behind. Something he could cling onto, something that could give him hope… but Mythica mentioned how much the little girl looked like him. A samurai’s heart…

    “T-Then…” Mirai was an option for a name – it meant ‘future’. However, the ‘i’ at the end felt weird – why did it feel so weird? He could just give her the name, just get it over with- no! She was his precious daughter, wasn’t she?! He had to think this through… but thinking felt like hell right now. “M-Mira… Mira Kensho… w-what do you think?” Why was he trying to smile here and now? The rain wasn’t able to hide his flowing tears running down his face, even as he cracked a goofy grin.

    “T-They’ll probably grow up into some real troublemakers… and…”

    The kids were clung to his chest a little tighter, refusing to let them go. “I-I imagined… when we’d become parents. They’d probably pull my hair or ride my back all the time… or they’d complain to their Mum that my swords are too lame, or something like that… y-yeah, I could see that happening… or whenever I’d come home with a new bottle, they’d call me names like ‘drunkard’, b-but you’d scold them and say that the bottle was for us two… and that they’d maybe g-get a new little brother or sister soon…”

    Wishful mumbling was what he was reduced to at this rate.

    The deafening silence continued to hang, that was until Mura finally spoke up, repeating the name that Mythica had given their son. He liked it. A small moment of respite filled her aching soul after seeing her husband smile. After what had happened to them she wasn’t quite sure she’d ever see him like that again. Even if his joy was temporary, it made Mythica feel better knowing that, despite only meeting them, Mura seemed to be taking his role as the father quite seriously. She only wished she could perform her own role just as well. He loved them, that much was clear to the chronomancer. Seeing him cling to their children so closely helped alleviate some of Mythica’s worries. Coming here today was certainly the right choice, no matter how she had felt before.

    Hearing Mura’s suggestion for the daughter made Mythica mimic his expression, her face turning soft as her lips curled upwards and she lowered her head to look down upon the girl, her face hidden underneath the hood. “Much like her father, even in namesake.” Mythica would chuckle lightly, masking her own flux of emotions. However, her smile would soon begin to fade as Mura began to describe what could have been. The way the words sounded so natural as he said them, even if his breath had quickened and his tone quivered, made Mythica believe he had thought about this before. Likely many times. It only made the pain sting even more. Mythica could almost laugh at the irony of the situation, though no humorous expression would be seen upon her face. Mura had gotten exactly what he had wanted but in the most screwed-up way possible. This was exactly the type of thing Mythica had done to so many others, but she had never imagined her own husband would be the victim one day.

    “When they became old enough I would teach them how to shoot.” She’d begin, the sadness in her voice only deepening. “While their father trains them in the way of the sword and spirit I would ensure they had the best education on the matters of this world, schooling them myself if I had to. We would get a nice, small place somewhere quiet and isolated. Somewhere with a large open field to help them practice their magic. A place to grow and learn, where they would play beneath the trees before the sun begins to set, heralding a night beneath the stars. A home for our dreams” Mythica would say, not quite believing the words coming out of her mouth. She had never imagined such a life for herself, but the longer she stared at these two in their father’s arms, the more intense the feeling grew. She wanted nothing more than to forget everything and live out the fantasy Mura and her had thought up, but it was just that. A fantasy. The jaws of the Blood Wolf grew ever closer, and even now the sorceress could feel its cold breath upon her back, reminding her of what could never be.

    “If they end up being anything like their father, I know I have nothing to fear.” She’d say as Mura finished, her head still lowered and her expression still hidden by her hood. It wouldn’t take long for a few teardrops to fall from the canopy covering her face, landing silently upon the cloth wrappings of the children beneath them. “I- It shouldn’t have to be this way.. But it is. And for that Mura there is nothing I can ever do to explain how sorry I am.” She would begin to say, her own voice getting quieter. She never wanted kids. She never wanted to be a mother. So why in all the hells was this so difficult? Why did she feel this way when she looked upon their innocent faces? Her life was cruel and filled with shadow and blood, but that did not mean theirs had to be. “Y- You could take them to your family..” She would say, silently looking back up at her husband. Her golden eye had faded in light, betraying her emotions. “Even if they must be deprived of one life, that does not mean they need to grow up wondering about their cursed wretch of a mother.” The girl continued. “Tsunematsu, Shiro, Kuro, Miki, Suzaku, Tsurara, Naga, Yuurin… They could be the siblings and companions that these two need.” Mythica would say with a quiver in her voice. She had remembered Mura’s family well from their visit to his home some years prior. It had perhaps been the happiest moments of Mythica’s life, when all their problems seemed to fade away and they were left to live the way they wanted to, among friends. “They could be the family they deserve. And a suitable distraction so they never have to wonder about me.” Those words hurt Mythica to her core, but in her heart, she knew it was right. The less they had to do with her the better. For everyone’s sake.

    Mura didn’t know what to say anymore. Hearing Mythica’s words, he just went quiet. She didn’t want to be in their lives… not out of detest, but out of pure shame. For a mother to be so ashamed of herself… what cruel loneliness awaited her?

    Could he reach his hand out to her, after everything she’d prepared today? Wasn’t there anything he could say to make her stay, to give it a shot? Yet, he knew… she knew… this wasn’t typical. Mythica, she had so much to answer to. From a purely logical point of view, this was the best outcome – protect the children from a bad fate and an ill omen brought forth by the past actions of their mother. They were in his protection now. That much was clear.



    Mura had nothing more to say. Rather, saying anything more would just hurt him even further, and he needed to keep his own sanity in check if he wanted to be there for their children. Mythica… this really was goodbye.

    “… Thank you…”

    For falling in love with him. For making him a man. For making him a father… for making him happy. Even if it didn’t last long.

    The shadow hanging over Mura’s words said more than enough for the chronomancer. It hurt her more than anyone could fathom, but there was no other choice. Dark days were coming, and Mythica knew it was inevitable before the cursed howl of the beast rang out once more. She could try and delay it… Never stop it.

    Inching closer to her husband as he gave her his gratitude Mythica would silently pull an object from her cloak. It looked like a small golden pocket watch, though the mechanisms seemed to be broken, as its hands remained frozen in time. It was the same pocket watch that had been attached to the side of her battle dress for many years. Thunder continued to rumble as the girl delicately touched Mura’s hand and rolled open his palm, placing the cool object within. “You need not say, for I know you better than most.” Mythica started. “When all three hands reach the twelfth hour, we will meet again. I will have found a cure for them.” She promised. For now, the clock seemed utterly useless, but when the time finally came one day it would begin to move as Mythica foretold. Whispering beneath the crack of lighting Mythica’s soft voice continued. “This may be goodbye, but not forever. You were the closest friend I've ever had.” Those were the final words Mythica stated before she leaned in once again to give Mura her lips, kissing him for one last time. It may have been a surprise, but Mythica did not care.

    Just as Mythica removed her lips from his, Mura saw nothing ahead of him but the empty porch, the rain pelting the spot Mythica had been just before. The only noise now was the pattering of water and the rumble of distant thunder over the cooing of the two children. In one arm he held his new family, and in the other, a cold piece of metal attached to a thin chain. The sky only continued to darken, bringing with it a solemn twilight beneath the grey veil.
