redemption n
1. the saving or improving of something that has declined into a poor state
2. the improved state of somebody or something saved from apparently irreversible decline
Prologue: Fate and Irony
Throughout the existence of mankind, as well as other living creatures of the universe, there had existed with them, always, time. Many thought the passage of time was like that of a river in that you could never alter its course. Others didn't even believe you could travel throughout the expanses of the past, through the present, and to the future. Still, some believed in alternate universes that ran parallel to the one they knew of.
What living creatures failed to notice was that although inanimate objects do not breath, contain blood, sleep, eat, or drink, they do exist. The existence was a proof of death, and therefore, life must be within such objects as well. Life, however, does not ensure a soul, or a conscious. Time is not an exception, and although this creature, this entity, is quite frequently busy to ensure it flows smoothly, it has been known to bend at times.
On one such occasion, a vibrant half-breed with lavender locks sent himself into the past to change the horrible future he had known his entire life. Time, amused, allowed the boy passage to send him to change the course of history and ensure that the senseless destruction that had occurred in his world never happened.
This is not the only case in which Time can change. The interest of Time is sporadic and hard to maintain. Pitiful creatures that live and die are nothing compared to Time, and so, Time is only concerned when the situation involves itself. On occasion, a mortal has been known to interest it, and so that mortal should be honored in all regards.
Once in a great while though, Time's attention is caught in a negative manner. This has happened, and so, it is doomed to repeat itself as Time is in itself fate, and fate is not without a sense of irony.
There was a man who was a hero - who shamelessly and bravely fought for his family, friends, and home. His lack of selfishness made him pure and righteous, although he wasn't even able to stop himself. A man that was able to help everyone, but himself. It made Time distraught to know what would happen to the young man and what he would do. Furthermore, it risked the destruction of Time itself, and with the collapse of that, it would ensure the collapse of existence, and without existence, there was no life and death. With no life or death it was uncertain if the universe could even regenerate itself.
There was too much of a risk.
And so Time decided that some futures should be altered for the sake of all. It had known this by the purple-haired boy's positive effects on itself. On this occasion, however, the purple-haired boy would not do at all. This was different now, and the boy was much weaker, and not even the same boy in a sense. No, he would not do. His father, however, was just perfect to do Time's bidding. And so, Time began to reweave itself.
