Pov Athena's:
"No... No... No... No... No... No... No..." (I)
I was on my knees with my hands on the floor as tears fell from my eyes, the images of what I saw and heard repeating themselves in an endless cycle.
"Lie... lie... it was all a lie... lie..." (I)
"Is that all you can do!?" (Caitlyn)
"..." (I)
"That's your determination and willpower!?" (Caitlyn)
"I... I can't..." (I)
"Do you want to give up? Then raise your hand to and say the words!" (Caitlyn)
"..." (I)
"(This is a nightmare, a re illusion, why can't I do it, why do I accept it!?)" (I)
I look at my hands, lifting them from the floor, my hands were shaking, I felt my mind was confused and my body was weak, I had no desire to do anything, I had nothing to hold on to.
"(Nothing has changed, nothing has changed, I'm just a burden to others...)" (I)
"If you want to give up, then say so while shaking my hands!" (Caitlyn)
I wanted to give up, being very honest with myself, I don't believe I can do that, I can't even look at my reflection in the mirror anymore.
I looked at my hands that are so different from the past and then at the wings on my back that have long since lost their white color.
"(I can't disappoint them too or else what's the aning of still being alive?)" (I)
The images of my friends, the image of my new Mother, and the image of master Zenos appearing in my mind, my friends trusted , fleeing from the Church of Light guided by , Zenos and Vanessa welcod into their ho when it could still be considered an enemy, they shared their Lineage and their power with soone like .
I shake my hands once again, I don't know how many tis I've been through this, I don't know if I'll ever be able to go through this, but I won't give up again regardless of what happens to .
"I... I'll continue..." (I)
With that Mistress Caitlyn snaps her fingers once again, making the world around change.
What I've been doing all this ti is reviewing my past, now knowing how to distinguish what I couldn't at that ti.
My mother reading books when I was a child, books about the Inquisitors hunting heretics and the history of the Church of Light, were happy mories of my childhood as it was the only ti of day I was able to see my mother, but realizing these mories I discover that it was never her, every night her voice, pronunciation and even the tone of speech changed.
I knew imdiately that it was an illusion magic of the light elent, a magic that I myself know how to use, my mother had always not paid attention to , I was not able to accept this fact and I always made excuses for her.
At so events where our family got together, people talked about their contributions, my mother spoke with pride about my sister and with the hope that I would follow the sa paths as my sister, but she never asked anything about , how I was feeling, what that I wanted or even hugged once.
My father was different, he found a few hours to train every 2 days, the training didn't end until he had to return to his post next to the Supre Priest, it didn't matter when my bones were broken, how much I was injured, how much If I was crying or if I was trying to run, he would just heal enough to be able to move to continue training.
All the ti his cold eyes focused on , he looked the sa way at my sister, a few tis I was able to see him giving us the sa training for her, but I was never able to follow his movents at that ti.
At the end of each training, he always leaves leaving lying on the floor, my blood everywhere, leaving it for to heal myself as part of the training.
In my head, I believed that he was strict like that to make us strong, but the truth was that he didn't want weak children, it was unacceptable for him.
My sister was always the one who spent the most ti with , she smiled genuinely, she showered with , she ate with , she guided in my training, she taught things that the teachers didn't teach and she was always an example to .
Her mories are the best, so they are also the worst when I see that she never called by na, during training, she called the sword of light, and she talked about how we should be weapons to eradicate managers.
On more than one occasion, as I got older, I was taken to see heretics and criminals interrogated, I was taken to executions, and I even had to carry out so.
She never treated like a real sister and she does now, but still, she was the only thing I thought I had, the only thing I could hold on to.
---------------
"Rise and fight heretic!" (sister)
"..." (I)
After going through my mories again I am always brought here, the field where they trained when I was younger, but now she stands in front of with disgust in her eyes, she doesn't see as a sister but as another heretic to be eradicated.
"< Blade of Light >" (Sister)
"< Blade of Light >" (I) n--In
Our swords et in the middle of where we were, unlike the past our strengths are equal, I have beco much stronger than I was in the past.
Our swords collide tens of thousands of tis, punches and kicks colliding almost synchronously between sword bodies, I know all of her moves because I was trained by her, in a head-on fight in an open field there was no way I could be hit by blows that he knew.
"< Blade of Eclipse >" (I)
"< Holy Solar Sword >" (sister)
As the blade of my sword turns gold and silver, my sister summons an all-golden sword with the blade engulfed in white flas.
But even though her power is greater than mine now, my Aura was stronger suppressing her to capitalize on every retreat she gave, our battle beca increasingly cruel exchanging wounds where I as Rogue always ca out on top.
In the end, I win like every other ti, my sister lying beneath the sword in my hands.
This isn't the first ti this happens, but I can never take the final step, I can't kill her, I know I need to end her to leave the past behind, leave all this lie I grew up with behind, I already have a place where I am not lied to and my na is respected for who I am, so why can't I finish this.
"Why the doubt? She's one of the cruelest people you've ever t, rember how she sacrificed an innocent city for her mission?" (?)
"..." (I)
Like every ti she appears next to at the sa mont every ti, a version of from when I was a child, her eyes completely golden as she says to finish off my sister.
"She never cared about you, do you think she would spare you if she reversed roles now!?" (?)
"..." (I)
"You know what you must do, don't let everyone down again, do it now!!!" (I?)
With these words, I hardened my resolve and cut off the head of my child version with the sword.
"I'm the one who decides." (I)

Pov Loki:
I was in a destroyed world as the last survivor, around the world was still breaking into pieces as the blood of millions of bodies flowed out, my body in pieces only reveals the endless pain as what little life I had slowly disappears, my Divinity fighting together with the world from which I erged and yet the smile never left my face.
"You can repeat this for eternity, the answer will always be the sa." (I)
"Because if you die, you have the power to run away, your friend has been away from this place for a long ti and will die on the way, so why not run away?" (?)
"This ti she will not die, I saved other Gods and Deities who are going with her, unlike , her Divinity is whole." (I)
"I won't allow her to mother-in-law like before, her wordplay might be good, but if it were , I would have already stopped talking just by looking into my eyes." (I)
"I didn't expect you to soon face death head on." (?)
"Who said I'm going to die, with so much life draining from the world?" (I)
As I spoke, I just destroyed my Divinity using its pieces for a Divine Ritual, sacrificing the world itself to completely restore to a Demigod.
When I opened my eyes the world was completely destroyed and only I was floating among the stars looking at a version of from that ti with golden eyes.
"If you could do that, then why did you repeat so many tis what was the worst mont of your existence?" (?)
"Because I don't want to hesitate again in the face of death, existence is a big ga, it's not often that you have the chance to play the sa situation over and over again, I had to take advantage." (I)
"Hahahhahahaha..." (?)
"Hahahhahahaha..." (I)

Pov Veronica:
I was sitting at a table drinking a cup of coffee together with an ancient Divine version of who has golden eyes, the place where we were was a vision of my destroyed world.
"Why didn't you try any other way?" (?)
"There was no need, I took the best option at that ti." (I)
"You could have fought on the front lines." (?)
"I would die and there would be no one to do what I did." (I)
"You could have taken Loki with you." (?)
"He wasn't around and looking for him would be a waste of ti knowing his answer." (I)
"You could have done this in countless ways, escape alone, seal your people and take them in an easier way, kill them all and take their Souls to another world before helping them to be reborn, you could even have sacrificed yourself to use all your power on any other plane." (?)
"Why not even try sothing else and continually choose the path that made you suffer the most?" (?)
"My shield is not to protect , I know that everything I did saved those people and the World Tree, my suffering is irrelevant in the face of my victory." (I)
"You call that a victory?" (?)
"Everyone said that I was just delaying the inevitable, that it was impossible and that nothing would be left of our world... I was the only one who decided to try." (I)
"Yes, I should have known that you are too stubborn to change a path you have already chosen." (?)
"Thanks." (I)
"That wasn't a complint." (?)
"It depends on the interpretation of whoever listens." (I)
