"Yes," Alex replied, trying to smile while hiding his pain, but his tears... He couldn't control the flow of his tears. He summoned a purple crystal right and put it on Skye's finger.
"Its... Cough... beautiful... Hina was telling the truth," Skye said with great difficulty as her eyes fell on her daughter's face lying on the ground beside her, "Take care of her..." She touched Alex's cheek, wiping his tears.
"Yeah, I will. I promise I will keep her safe and happy," replied Alex as he kissed her hand.
Alex was doing his best to heal Skye's wounds. But it was useless. He is a warrior. He can swing his sword and axe and kill his enemies. His body almost instantly heals from any injuries. But the thing is, he can't heal others, nor can he share his instant healing with others.
All he can do is prevent blood loss and curse himself for being weak...
If only he had learned some healing magic...
"I-I wish we had more time, Alex... It... Arggg! It wasn't supposed to end like this. You are going to be all alone after I... I... I love you... I..." Skye's voice drifted off as her lifeless hand fell from Alex's cheek.
Alex just stayed there, hugging Skye's lifeless body.
...
Emma watched everything until Skye's death. Then everything became dark and cold. She was left with more questions than answers. When she decided to help Alex, she wasn't expecting this...
This tragedy...
It wasn't anything special. People die, and a tragedy occurs. Emma has witnessed her fair share of death, but the raw bursts of emotions she felt while experiencing things from inside Skye's body were beyond her imagination. She didn't feel the physical pain but the sadness and emotions...
It was intense...
Moreover, Emma was curious about Alex's immense healing power because the amount of damage he endured while trying to protect Hina and Skye was immense. And no healing ability in the world can heal such wounds.
'How did he survive that? I have never seen such endurance and healing factor. Even Logan's body would have vaporized from that bombardment.'
'What happened to Hina?'
'And who attacked them? The destruction they caused is enough to level an entire city to nothingness.'
'No, no, no, that can wait. The more important thing is, what is Alex? How did he become a teenager? What about his mother and sister?'
'Rebirth!!!'
Countless questions flooded Emma's mind.
"So cold. Is this what death feels like?" Emma shivered as a wave of cold sensation spread over her body.
[Woosh!] Suddenly, a spinning mass of energy appeared, illuminating the dark space, and a voice came from within, "Yes. That's what I felt when I died."
"You... Skye! How? You died," Emma stuttered.
"Yes. What you are seeing and hearing right now is the last wisp of my Astral form that I planted inside Alex's soul to make him forget about the past," Skye replied. Her voice seemed to be directly projected into Emma's mind.
"Why would you do that?" Emma inquired.
"Because I didn't want him to live his life seeking revenge and blaming himself for failing to save me. So with my last breath, I created a restriction within his soul to prevent him from remembering his past."
"You see, Alex is special. He heals instantly, but he gets old like regular humans, but after he dies, he is reborn in a new body with his memories intact. He told me how difficult it is to live forever with those infinite memories."
"So, I sealed his memories... I wanted him to live a happy life... But my power has weakened with time. Miss Emma, I beg of you, wipe out his past memories, I failed to do that, but with your abilities, you might succeed."
Skye explained the situation to Emma. An ark of white lightning emerged from the energy mass and struck Emma, returning her sealed powers.
"You know, if he somehow recovers his memories, he will never forgive you for denying his grief and revenge," Emma said. Denying loved ones from grieving in the memories of the lost ones by wiping their memories is the worst punishment someone could bestow on another person.
"At least in this life, he will live a new life without being bound by the past," replied Skye in a sad tone.
The energy mass began to flicker.
"It seems like my time is up," said Skye.
"Wait! Who attacked you? Please tell me their identity," Emma yelled. She must know the identity of the enemy. So that if they arrive in the present era, humanity could prepare themselves to face that threat.
"...you don't have to worry. Only their remnants remain in the present time. Remember, Miss Emma, no one can escape the tide of time," Skye's voice disappeared along with the energy mass.

[First person POV]
A large yawn escaped my mouth as I woke up. My head feels so clear. I looked at my wristwatch. It's 3:00 Am.
Where is Miss Emma?
She told me to lie on the bed and relax, then I fell asleep. I can't believe I was sleeping this whole time. I checked my clothes... they seem to be in their places.
Haaa. Fuck! What a waste? I finally got to go on a date with Miss Emma, and... I blew it. I should have enjoyed the date instead of making her read my memories. I don't know how much she had read from my mind.
I made my way toward the living room.
Miss Emma was sitting before the minibar at the end of the room. She is wearing a flimsy white shirt, and I can clearly see her naked butt, even in that dimly lighted room.
What the....?
Is she drunk?
Miss Emma turned around, "Oh, hey, Alex." She is holding a glass of liquor. Smells like whisky.
"Everything alright?" I inquired. I mean, why the hell is she drinking in the middle of the night?
"Everything is fine. Don't worry. I just remembered some old not so good memories," Miss Emma said, and then she chugged the whisky in a single gulp.
Wow! This girl can drink...
"Haaaa. All empty. Fuck! I can't even get drunk even if I want to," Miss Emma said with a large sigh. She continued, "There is nothing wrong with your memories. Just some bad dreams and nothing else. But I found something interesting..."
Miss Emma bent further on the table, moving her naked ass. Shit! That's hot. Those soft mounds... God... I just want to bury my face in there and taste her. Or should I push my dick in her pussy? Or is she interested in anal? Why is she teasing me like this? Should I take it as a sign and jump in?
I shook my head. She said she found something interesting. Did she see those memories?!
"Uumm... W-What did you see?" I inquired. My voice was shaking.
"That someone is perving over my ass. Hehehe... So Alex," said Miss Emma.
"Yes," I felt a lump in my throat. My dick is rock hard as usual, and I am sweating buckets, plus my heart is hammering.
"Come here," said Miss Emma.
I followed her order.
...
I am standing behind her. My eyes were stuck on her bubbly butt.
"You want to drink something?" Miss Emma asked while moving her butt further toward me.
Fuck! I wish I was that chair she is sitting on.
"Yes, please," I replied.
"Then, what are you waiting for? Get on your knees and get started," Miss Emma glanced back with a slutty smirk.
"With pleasure," I went on my knees. Her beautiful mounds were just before my eyes.
******
AN: Some might think its unfair to MC. Yes it is. But think from Skye's point of view. A life of revenge and misery vs a simple peaceful life, she chose the later. But it's not permanent. GG. Have I ever disappointed you? A little patience is all I ask.
POWER STONES!!!!
