Rise of a Fallen God Chapter 113

A few moments after Ibrahim told the story of Ventis's life, a fervent discussion began that went on for days .

During this time Ibrahim sat next to his creator as the two of them shared expressions of despair .

The reason for this despair was the talks that could happen mentally without a need for words being said out loud so that Dashnell who was present could hear it .

It started off with talks about ways to recover past lives memories, what could help trigger them and the examples that they all already experienced .

Be it from being in Dashnells presence, sensing his power for the first time allowing it to shock the memories from their slumber or simply viewing something similar to their past that would awaken them .

Then the talks started to change from that to ways of restricting Dashnell from doing anything that would put his life in harm's way again .

They were doing this to send him a clear message, he was very well aware that if he did not work hard to help them reawaken their past lives memories he would suffer .

While I sit here next to Ibrahim I have him help me shift through my mind, with his and the Eros working hard I managed to do what I wanted to delay in a few mere moments .

I wanted to have them remember on their own but who could imagine jealousy to affect them so much .

That's right the driving emotion was jealousy nothing more than that alone drove them into pressuring me to recover their memories for them .

Once I was done the astounding thing was that every single one of them met me before in the past, some were lovers, maids, friends, and family members that are now able to get a second chance at a relationship with me .

All but one .

The only person who did not have a past with me was Valara, this caused her to get up in a panic and flee .

Samara was the first to try and chase after her but before she could, Valara ripped open a hole in time and vanished .

She then turned to me, knowing what she wanted I too ripped open a hole in time and pulled the curled in a ball Valara onto my lap .

"When did you learn how to do that Valara?"

Shaking my head I stop and hug the sobbing Head Wife .

"We may have not had a past life together like the others Valara but that does not mean I will love you less, It just means I will spoil you more than the rest .

Besides we can create wonderful memories from now until the end of our lives, all of us can .

I promise to drive myself insane with all of the love everyone has for me, my ability to control time alone allows me to spoil all of you . Plus I am sure you all have yet to share your secret escapes with me with each other . "

I said that to not only comfort Valara but to lessen the glares I was getting, my attempt to get them to turn on eachother failed and in return I felt a billion pinches of vengeance as Ibrahim went up to finish with the story of Lami's life .

Ibrahim looked into the eyes of the all the women here and it caused his heart to stir, they had all in a few hours undergone massive emotional and behavioral changes .

Take Erida for example, she was a rebellious young Princes but now before him she possessed a Elegant yet simple disposition .

Once she remembered her past life she got up from being near Dashnell and is instead respectfully sitting next to her mother Adina and Tezrian . Many of the women rearranged were they were seated and began to talk as Ibrahim went about sharing the life of Lami .

As Valara was still seated on my lap I showed a rare bright smile of happiness on my face as I looked at all my wives and the various changes to their aura's .

With a light tug Valara caused my focus to shift towards her, as I looked into her eyes that showed sparks of electricity moving about her emerald pupils .

I noticed that Time around us froze completely, even Ibrahim was affected and when I checked the other realms outside the Void .

Time everywhere I looked was under her control .

I had long noticed her aptitude in controlling Time, that is why I had Verena train her personally as well as taught her everything I knew about controlling Time .

At first I thought she was my ability to control Time reborn as a Guardian that chose to follow me as Ibrahim did or its descendant .

Now I know for sure that she is not only my ability to control time but she is cut off from me unlike Ibrahim and Morrigan, who I can control at will .

She unlike my other abilities was only recently born as Valara the Guardian, I have to ask Lilly about this later but for now I will listen to what she wishes to tell me .

"Dashnell Train me harder! I want to understand my ability to control time better .

When I look at anything I can see its flow of time, I can even see its lifespan .

This has never changed as I possessed this ability even when I first met Mara .

But you, there is something that prevents me from seeing your flow of time .

As I got stronger I started to be able to make it out but after you regained a bit of your memories and those silver eyes it became nothing but a blur to me .

Then when I entered the Void Realm I was able to see it, it is completely still unlike everyone else's that is in motion .

Does this have something to do with you surviving when reality collapsed upon itself?"

Oh She does not realize those things yet, it would be better to tell her now . I don't need her giving me the cold shoulder for keeping secrets .

"Valara yo-" Before I get the words out she speaks up instead .

"I know what I am Dashnell, I am no longer a part of you I am Valara a Guardian Born on Teress and your wife .

I have absolute control over Time, I noticed it as I got stronger and when you froze Time for the first time I was able to move slightly even against your will .

When I felt you look at me in disbelief I knew it was not normal for me to possess such an ability .

I never brought it up before as I have been waiting for us to have this talk .

I have seen it happen so many times but it is finally happening in the flesh, I have no words to describe how happy this makes me . "

As she lets excitement take over her emotions I get a chance to speak .

The two of us sit here surrounded by the frozen garden of beauties exchanging words through our ability to manipulate and see into the future .

She can see it all past, present and future each path is visible to her so long as she wishes to walk it . It also means she will be able to see the things I plan to do .

During out talk she lets me know she witnessed my descent into madness first hand .

She said she could physically go anywhere or to any time she wished and watch everything as it happened, even if the place she went was dangerous nothing would ever be able to harm her even as she interacted with or caused it harm .

With that she looks at me seriously .

"I feel you no matter where you are like a thorn in my side never leaving, only you can resist me only you have the ability to negate Time to negate me!

The future I see is a endless stretch of nothingness were only you and I exist .

Not even Morrigan was able to resist being eroded by it, she and all the others that were once apart of you had to become part of you once more to survive with me being the exception .

I watched as they happily merged back into you becoming whole again, and when it was over you truly regained all your past glory as the strongest living creature, even without me .

This hurt me more than you will ever know but at that moment I finally understood what that meant .

I exist to check your powers, I am the Balance between you and Lilly .

As even she was swallowed up by the nothingness, what caused the nothingness to appear was your death, you passed on peacefully with a smile on your face as you accepted death a true death .

You passed all your powers and your immortality to our children, you saw no need to carry on after you finished killing everything beyond the Gate .

We saw you pass on and the moment you were gone a chasm opened up, it destroyed everything and anything it touched as it continued to spread wiping out all life in is way .

When it reached me and Lilly she felt something and rushed towards were we laid you to rest, before she ripp-"

"Enough! I see it now . I can see it Valara!! Why, why did you look so far ahead .

What caused you to do such a thing, I look into the future only to keep you all safe but even I know not to look too far ahead .

I have the ability to see everything up till the day I die so as someone who is Immortal I can see to the end of Time itself but that does not mean I should Valara!"

As space started distort around us she shouted .

"That is easy for you Dashnell but I am Time itself! I can not avoid seeing it, the first things I saw when my powers truly manifested was the beginning and the end of everything .

So I even know the truth about you!

Once you die the Creed cease to exist but if you die along with the Creed vanishing from within the Gate the nothingness is born to replace you both as the True God of Destruction .

You might not remember these things yet but you tried your best, you really did but I will not allow you to give up and pass this task onto someone else even if you have absolute faith in them .

As we both saw how that path ends, I . . I will leave you alone for now but know that I will always be looking for a better path while also ensuring you never Die . "

With that she allowed time to flow on normally without telling me, as I tried to stop her Samara who was next to me and Valara rushed up and held onto me as Valara vanished into a Void of Time .

"You know how to reach me if you need me Dashnell . "
