CHAPTER 17: Intermission

They say time heals all wounds, but such pain that has been inflicted, such horror, how is it even conceivable to believe such a statement as bold as that?

You have done it! You have fulfilled your true prophecy!

What do you mean 'True'? I had more then one?

Everyone on this planet has three. One, a prophecy laid out by The Devil, the other by God.

And what about the third one?

The third one is the prophecy you create, as an individual.

Well, which prophecy did I take?

You did not fall to the darkness, that much is obvious. But whether you chose the divine path or an independent one, only He knows.

So… He knew I was going to do this?

Dear Mark, He is everywhere. He is in the past, the present, and the future. He knows everything, but it all comes down to choice. In the end, He allowed you to choose. Which path you chose, however, I do not know. I am sorry Mark, but I must now leave. Farewell.

Wait! What is going to happen now? What are we going to do in a world that doesn't need us? In a world with such death and destruction?

My Dear Mark, your path has now been cemented into strings of time. You and Raven have banished Trigon back to his dimension, your work in this world is done, and so is Raven's.

So… What do we do now? What about the others? The other Titans?

I am sorry, I did not explain my intentions properly. You will be transported back to a time before this. Before the Earth died.

Wait. You mean, travel back in time? But the future has been written. How can we change that?

Mark… Do you not remember? You summed up what I am attempting to say just a few days ago! The future has not been written! You have lived it, yes, but once you travel back, it will become uncertain once more…

But, how do we prevent Raven turning evil?

You have already prevented it…

How?

That is a question that not even your mother can answer. You can only ask Him, and hope for an answer.

My mother?

Goodbye, Dear Mark. Take care of Raven and the rest of the Titans.

Really tiny chapter, so I decided to post the last one as well.
