Chapter 218: Possible future
"Still no answer?" the god asked
"No, I told you, they're dead"
The god then laughed.
"I know they're not, after all I was the one that got their soul to reincarnate in your world" the god said
"What are you saying?"
"You have also met them before"
"That's a lot of hints, why are you telling me this?"
"Entertainment" the god answered "You are fated for great things...and as for your children, they're only from one of your possible futures of an alternate timelines. I've seen a few of your possible futures and they're all very entertaining"
"Then can you tell me which timeline I become a vampire king the fastest?"
"I can show one of them" the god says as a couch and a large flat screen TV appeared. I took a seat and a pair of 3D glasses appeared on my head.
It turned on and it showed me in the Crimson kingdom's throne room...making out with...Lillian.
"Dude...what the fuck? Oh I'm- They're doing it on the throne, Oh my god, that is horrible...Natalie is joining in! Turn it off! MY EYES!!"
"I forgot that in this timeline you go out with Lillian" the god apologized "Oh god, what are you 3...ew, dude what is wrong with you? What are you all going to do with...Oh my me. That's not what it's...used for...I'm gonna need to wash my eyes after this."
"Why are you still watching?! Turn it off! Where's the remote?!"
The TV then blinked out of existence.
"Dude you watch the weirdest things, I thought that gods aren't allowed to spectate that with the exception of love gods and even they have limits"
"In that timeline, by going out with her and her sister, you trigger an event that made the king retire early" the god explained "But I should've shown you the event instead, wrong timing I guess, that was horrible. You are horrible, that's not what you use those items for."
"Maybe the king saw me did that and retire out of disgust. I could have gone my life without seeing that...you got a bucket? I'm gonna puke"
A toilet appeared instead and I threw up in it.
"As an apology, I'll give you an even bigger hint. You work with them" the god informed
"Thanks...so my current children is only from a possible future, not a definite one?"
"Yes, many different futures like...the one we just saw"
"You get off to that?"
"I'm offended, no of course not" the god denied
"Is there a way I can forget that?"
"Even with a god's help, you'll have to erase the memories of this whole dream for that to happen, you father can hide a small specific memory and can help, but...he'll have to comb through your memories and witness it" the god explain
"Yeah, not happening"

-Why were you gagging in your sleep?- Siege asked as I woke up
I then told my bonds what happened leaving out what I saw in the TV.
-That narrows it down to the members of the seekers of salvation- Dabria concluded -One of them is a reincarnated spirit of your sibling-
-What did you see on that TV?- Diana asked -Why'd you leave it out?-
-Yeah, it can't be that bad- Ace added
-Oh trust me, it was traumatizing- I shivered just remembering it.
*****
"You narrowed it down to that much?" Zach asked
"Yeah, there's no other possible answer, one of you are a reincarnated spirit from my previous world"

"Welcome back Damon, glad to see you back bud" Dad greeted him "Sorry for not staying up late to welcome you last night"
"Yes, did you enjoy your time there?" mom asked
"I did" Damon answered "I was nervous at first, but I'm glad that I got to meet them"
-Diana would be next, but let's dig deeper into finding a way to send my children back-
-Well thank the gods that they're only from a possible future- Dabria responded
-You know, my feelings can get hurt too. Can you act at least not as relieved?-
As always, we gathered everyone for dinner at my parents' house. It is a peaceful time, but lately Luke has been avoiding my gaze.
"So why have Luke been avoiding your eye contact lately?" Mom noticed
"Oh right"
"So you know the reason? Because Luke isn't answering"
"We kissed" Eliza answered as Luke and my parents choked on their food.
"Just a one time thing, and she was emotionally unstable"
"2 time thing" Jaxon corrected
"Jaxon, shush."

I am called by Zach into his personal headquarter and is led into the training ground where he warped us to last time.
"Why can't we just discuss this in your office?"
"Well you might destroy my office from what I'm about to tell you" he replied
"Well I can't win against you, still unless you target my family, I won't be asking for a fight"
Zach took several deep breaths before looking at me straight in the eye.
"It's me Grace" he said out of the blue
"What?" Damon and my bonds muttered
"I didn't want to reveal it this early...but I want to help send your children back" Zach explained
"...Which one are you?" I asked "And you died 3 years ago, so why...why did you reincarnate so long ago?"
"I don't know" Zach shook his head "I first heard about you during your test into the academy, a presence so strong that your opponents bleed, your ability and a god within your presence would explain it, but that didn't confirm it till you get your nickname 'the laughing demon', your ability 'Ferocity' "
"Answer the question Zach, which one are you?!"
"It's Kelly" he replied while looking away
"Oh...great...Great! Ok tell me something that only me and Kelly knows"
"I like meat pies and I give everyone a silent treatment when I'm angry" Zach answered "I also like to eat the batch of cookies you hide on the top shelf-"
"You're a dude!"
"I know! I reincarnated as a guy, it was horrible!"
"Couldn't you have just made a female body then?! After you faked your death?"
"I already got used to living as a guy, so I can't help it!"
"Should I call you a her or a him? And what's with Zachary West?! That's a stupid name!"
"Like 'Perseus Silver' is any better, it's so pretentious"
"It is you!"
"That's what I'm trying to tell you!"
| Stop shouting, you're wasting words |
"Shut up!" we both shouted
I just hugged Zach after I confirmed that it's actually Kelly
"It's great to see you again Kelly"
