-Kara-

I use instant transmission to get to Rhea as fast as I could

…

Rhea ? I look around

"Kara ?" I hear behind me

Her lip was busted and she had bruises all over her body

"What happened to you ? Why are you here?" I raise her head

"Kara y-you have to go" she tears up

"Why ? We're safe now don't worry" I grab her wrists before she yanks her hand back

"Get out !!" She shouts

"Rhea ? What's wrong with you ?" I ask "we're.."

"Nothing, just get out !! You're nothing to me now… so leave !!" She pushes me again

"I-"

What's with her ?

I'm so confused… why ? … why isshe doing this?

"K-Kara" she tears up

…

"I knew you'd come" I hear Kronos

"What ?" I turn to him

"It's a good thing he didn't kill you too, it would've been a drag trying to find you again" he says

"You l-little" I clench my fist

"After all he did for you!" I use the little strength I had to attack

"You idiot" he sighs before swatting my arm aside completely blowing the entirety of it off

"Gahh !!" I fall back as blood spewed everywhere

"Kara !!" Rhea shouts

"Hahaha" Kronos laughs as muscle fibers shot out from my shoulder and slowly began forming into the limb that he had blown off

"Would you look at that" he looks at me in disgust seeing my arm had grown back "let's see how many times you can grow that back, kid" he slams his foot on my arm

"K-Kronos, stop this!" Rhea cries

"Thats enough" the door behind Rhea swings open

Oceanus ?

"That's enough, brother" Oceanus says

Kronos smiles before kicking me to Oceanus

"Gahha fuck" I gasp painfully as Oceanus caught me by my nape

"Rhea" I huff as Oceanus drags me out

I watch as that dog Kronos rips Rheas clothes aside before pushing her onto the bed

"O-Oceanus" I cough "you dog, let m-me go" I grunt as he leads me into the dungeon

"Hush child" he says before pushing me into a cell

"Oceanus, how could you ?!" I try grabbing him through the bars

"Shut up" he snares

"Ignia trusted you more than anyone!! You snake" I spit at his feet not knowing what else to do

"You think I wanted this ?!" He grabs my throat before slamming me against the bars "you nor I have a prayer against Kronos" he says

"Wh-why didn't you do something ?" I tear up

"He knocked me out the moment I found out of his plans with Acnologia" he says under his breath

"Why" I whisper "why is this happening ?" I sniff

He slowly lets go of my throat

"I wish I had an answer to that as well" he sighs as he backed off

"S-so what'll we do now, Oceanus ?" I ask

"Kronos will reign as king, the one who defeated Acnologia" he says "to void any suspicion you will be released first thing tomorrow morning and you will wait for my call"

"I-if he didn't want to reign Gaia what was Acnologia after ?" I ask

"I'm assuming Kronos made a pact if he wasn't to interfere with his fight with Ignia he would give him Gaia" he says "and Acnologia of course for defeating the most powerful being in existence as of late will be crowned as the Omni King by the grand priest"

"Omni… King ?" I say under my breath

"I'll retrieve Irene and Mia you should rest for now" he says

…

Rest for now huh ?

Am I really supposed to be able to after all this bullshit

I drop to my knees as the door closes behind Oceanus

Man I can't breathe

…

My heart

It h-hurts

…

What of Hestia ?

What'll happen to my baby ?

God, it hurts so much

I felt nauseous, dizzy, nothing was making any sense as I lost the strength to keep… going

My body slowly fell onto the cold floor and there wasn't anything I could do about it

Man I really wish I could've gone with you Ignia… all this… is a nightmare

Pov.

-Kara-

-1,500 years later-

"Y-Yesh, yesh, yesh, oh g-god!!" She moans

"What are you doing?!" I try pushing her off me but she had always been stronger so it was pointless

"Shut up !!" She slaps me

"M-mommy please…" Mia tears up

"It's okay mommy's making a baby with you big brother" she giggles

"This isn't right, Irene" I grunt painfully as she dug her nails into my chest

"Fuck I'm cumming" she gasps as she forced me to do so aswell

"Haha" she chuckles as she fell aside

I quickly crawl away

"Mia !!" I grab her wrist before pulling her out

"What happened t-to mommy ?" She asks

"It's okay Mia everything's fine" I say as I get changed

"A-are we leaving ?" She asks

"You wanna stay ?" I ask

She shakes her head "I-I'm scared" she tears up

"I-It's okay we'll be fine" I grab her wrist "c'mon"

…

"Kara !!" Coeus shouts

"Huh ?" I turn to him

"C'mon man" he shakes his head

Shit..

I spaced out again

I was thinking of the last time I saw Irene before she went off searching for Igneel

She had gone crazy after finding out Acnologia impregnated her

Oceanus said if Kronos had stepped in, Acnologia wouldn't have stood a chance

Ever since Kronos banned the use of any kind of magic source or practices

He said he did so, so that people won't abuse this power like Acnologia did

But my guess is that he doesn't want anyone stripping him from his throne

I shake my head trying to concentrate

We're in the middle of a football game

I'd love to say we were losing and are the underdogs but it's a blowout

Fourth quarter, I just got my thirteenth touchdown this season, now it's their ball again

No matter though, I love defense it's the only time I get to take my anger out on whatever is in front of me

"Aye you heard, right?" Coeus asks

I nod

"Yeah man" I lie

He shakes his head before everyone jogs to their positions as I casually walk over to mine

I was still trying to get my head in the game

So much has been going on I don't know what to think anymore

I hate that we've been living like nothing happened, Kronos became a hero and was accepted by the people as king even though he was just as rotten as Acnologia

I lean forward setting my elbows onto my knees

I look at their QB who didn't look happy about the play they were supposed to run

I'm guessing they're going for a pass again since our line has been on their asses the whole game

I watch their quarterback jog with a limp before telling his team the play they were running

"Heh*" I chuckle

I unconsciously switch into a receiving stance as they all got into their own positions

I look over at coach but I had always been

bad at reading lips so I just flipped his angry ass off

"Set" their QB gets ready to hike the ball

I make eye contact with him and he looks at the ball and I do the same waiting for it to move

"Hut" he fakes "hut,hut" he taps his foot

Both our lines slam into each other, trying their best to do their job the receiver I was supposed to guard was running a 9 straight down the field so I leave him to our safety knowing the QB won't go for that long pass

I take a few steps back trying to find an opening

'There' a voice in my head clicks and I quickly

rush in through the guard and tackle as their QB backs up behind his fullback who looked just as nervous as he was

I faint stutter step left snapping his ankles as the QB stepped behind his Halfback

And this man got low

Like low low

He really about to run my shit over

I brace myself giving the impression that I was actually about to challenge his big ass, but I step back and spin around him

He holds onto my jersey almost pulling me down with him but I manage to shove him aside

Now it was just the quarterback and I

It's only been a couple of seconds since he hiked the ball so he was still looking for an open receiver

He pulls his arm back just as I lock my arms around his waist

I raise him off the ground before slamming him onto his back

The whistle blows and I step over him for the eighth time this game

"Aye I'll fuck you up kid" I feel his teammate shove me

"What? You his daddy?" I rip my helmet off ready to throw down

"Aye chill out man" Coeus puts a hand on my chest he was always here to calm me down when I really needed to

But I wasn't having it today

I throw my helmet at the guy and he charged at me

I felt his helmet slam onto my abdomen almost knocking the wind out of me before slamming me onto the ground like I did to his buddy

I felt his fist jabbing into my ribs as I tried elbowing his back but couldn't cause of the pads protecting him, so I grab his helmet and I jerk his head from side to side finally managing to get him off me

I yank off his helmet and I smash it onto his other teammates nose before I start slamming my fists onto his face

I feel Coeus trying his best to pull me off of him but through all the commotion I actually manage to push him aside

Someone pushes my back and I manage to catch my balance before their quarterback could deck me in the face

I lean back before stomping on his knee and I follow that with my fist to his face

"Agh!" He cries

I pull my arm back ready to realign his broken nose when someone yanks me back by my pads

"Quit being an idiot!" Coeus pushes me back

I open my arms

"C'mere pussy" I taunt their quarterbacks daddy

My fists were soaked in blood

It was staining my jersey

I smile widely as the taste of blood filled my mouth

"Let go of me!" he struggles as his teammates backed him off

The ref points at me before blowing his whistle as he threw his hat into the air ejecting me for the rest of the game

"Hehe*" I giggle to myself as I reach down for my helmet

I know there's no way I can get through Coeuses big ass

I think I'm satisfied

Next time we play them guys gonna wanna kill me and that sounds even more exciting

I walk over to the benches and I spray water into my mouth with the machine thingy hoping the blood doesn't get me too excited

"What the hell is your deal kid?" I hear coach above me "it's the second time this week"

"First was with a teammate" I huff casually still trying to rinse my mouth

"You shut up boy, you're lucky Ignia was a friend cause I would've kicked your ass out just like Irene did"

"Say that shit again, I'll kill you!" I toss my pads aside

"Stop being stupid, Kara" Mia sets her hand on my chest

"Fuck You" I mouth at coach before storming off

"Come here, Kara!" he shouts

I flip him off

After Irene left I began renting the mechanic shop two blocks from the school so that I could make a living for Mia and I

After I showered in the locker room I was getting my clothes when I found Mia at my locker

"Hey baby girl" I sit beside her as I put my pin into the lock

"Don't baby me" she slams my locker shut after I had just managed to get it open

"What the hell, Kara"

"What?" I ask

She rolls her eyes "your always tryna start some shit a-and it's annoying"

"Calm down" I grab her hand "it's my first year in college I'm just trying to have a little fun"

"And you start of by trying to fight a junior" she adds

I nod "so?..."

She rolls her eyes

"I love it when you do that" I peck her cheek

It's been so long since we lost everything

What Acnologia did to her was just horrible, I made sure to be right beside her throughout the entirety of her rehabilitation

All we've had was each other ever since so it was only natural we'd become a thing after hundreds of years

"whatever" she stands up "make sure you're not late for dinner" she winks

"Aight" I smile widely as I watch that phat ass of hers walk off

After I got ready I left just as the game officially ended
