Timekiller
Prologue
"Time is my slave. It bows to me like every being in this entire universe should. I am a goddess among gods. Whoever dares to defy me, will be eradicated from existence…even if it is time itself."
- Amun'shek II, self-announced God-Empress of the Neph'arim-Empire
'You need to remember!'
The world was born in flames, the world will die in flames.
As Max Caulfield woke up, she witnessed how everything around her was buried in a cataclysmic fire.
She should be dead, devoured and turned into ashes by the superhot plasma, but she was still alive.
She should be blinded by the intense brightness, but could still see the massive destruction.
She shouldn't be able to breathe, but oxygen still filled her lungs anyway.
'You need to remember!'
As fast as the inferno occurred, as fast it was gone again. The earth's surface was still glowing red, like an ocean of lava. But not for long. Soon, it became nothing more than a desert made of black, scorched stone.
Although the earth's atmosphere had been burned and blasted away, the sky was covered with beautiful clouds of various kinds of colors. The last gaseous remnants of the sun, enlightened by its residual radiation. But it faded soon, too.
The emerging dark night sky, once a black vail, sprinkled with thousands of stars, was now the stage for an intergalactic firework of exploding suns. A beautiful symphony of destruction.
'Max, you need to remember!'
Soon, the last supernovae enlightened the almost completely black sky one last time, before absolute darkness devoured everything.
The universe was dead. Nothing had survived, except one being: Maxine Caulfield. She didn't know why or how, but she was still alive. She'd just witnessed the end of everything and the knowledge that she was the only thing that remained made her despair. Fear dug its claws deep into her heart as Max realized that there was no one left. Everything she knew wasn't there anymore. She was alone; alone in this absolute darkness, unaware of how or why everything was gone. She sobbed, once…twice, until the perfect silence was only broken by her intense crying.
'Remember what happened! Only you can safe them!'
Max didn't know how long she'd cried. Time was absent, it was dead, like the rest of the universe. She heard this strange voice inside of her head, repeating itself constantly, almost driving her insane, until it said one name.
'You need to remember! Remember…Chloe!'
Author's Notes:
As announced, I'm working on another story besides "Rewound". I've already written the first few chapters and it's definitely going somewhere. This story's gonna be my sideproject when I need a short break from Rewound, so updates might need some time.
Also, this story won't contain that much fluff or romance, but focuses more on action, adault topics and violence, so please take the M-Rating serious!
