I wish you guys a happy and merry christmas! I am so sorry for this delay all this time, but I've decided that will now be my 3rd priority in my life. Number one is of course my life and Number two is Wattpad. I've come to be quite fond of Wattpad since it has a mobile app and is very convenient to use. After all this time I left (or at least been hiatus), I've decided that I will stop writing fanfictions for a while since i need some time to think about starting to write here again. I will continue to try to update as much as I can and finish up my stories since I don't want them to end without a happy ending! ^^ Thank you for all you done guys and I hope that I can grow from this experience!

~Her Past Sin or Her Past Deed?~
(DiE's Pov)
As I wandered through the endless void of time and space, I found myself face to face with a portal that swirled in the colors of crimson red, ink black, and opened up to a new dimension. "Keke...It seems that I've found the portal at last...Now to find her." I cackled as I stepped through the portal and closed my eyes.
When I opened my eyes and found myself in a sunny meadow that was overgrown by a numerous amount of clovers. The intense sun gleamed and struck my eyes which made me groan in discomfort.
"Damn this sunlight.." I muttered as I tried to squint through the rays of sunlight and looked around the meadow for any signs of her.
After I started walking, voices of people echoes through my ears. "Where are these voices coming from.." I groaned as I tried to locate the people who were speaking.
Then I found them…
Lower in the meadow was a stream where a bridge towered over it and rocks bordered the edges. On one side of the stream were two kids, who looked similar to…
Infinity and Witch? No...it wasn't them..it was back when they were only Stealth Knight and Battle Magician. As I made my way over to them, I found them happily chatting with each other.
"Hey Els! Look what I made for you!" Witch exclaimed happily as she showed Infinity the wreath she made out of some flowers in the meadow.
"Wow! Thanks Ai! I'll treasure it!" He piped as Witch placed the wreath on his head and smiled. "Don't be silly Els! The flowers will die before you can even Job Change!" She told him in a very knowledgeable tone and smiled proudly.
"I'll show you Ai! I'll treasure this wreath until I Job Change! I promise you that!" Infinity promised as he showed Witch his pinky and she shook it. "Pinky Promise?" She asked and he nodded.
"Pinky Promise Ai.." He muttered as they shook their pinkies and then laughed. The two got up and then started playing a game of tag with one another. They soon disintegrated into dust like faded memories. I could only stare at them as they vanished.
"That was a happy time.." I heard a voice tell me and I quickly turned my head. Sitting on the edge of the bridge was Witch, her feet dangling from the edge and her hands holding her up. Her body looked faded like a ghost, but more visible...I guess that's what you call someone's soul.
"I figured you be here…" I told her as I slowly headed over to where she was and looked at her sternly. "How did you know?" She muttered as her eyes shifted from looking at the flowing river to my eyes.
"Time...Time was the hint…" I told her as I placed my arms on the railing and then leaned against them while staring out into the meadow.
"You've always told me that you wished that you could change all the little mistakes in your past, but then laughed when you realized it was impossible. Trying to change your past is like trying to change your timeline, but that doesn't mean that you couldn't be stuck in your past fantasies.." I told her as I eyed her from the corner of my pupil and she eyed me back.
"Your funny Esper..I never wanted to be stuck here...I never did…" She told me and I raised a brow. "You know that you're quite bad at lying right. Keke…" I cackled as she turned pink.
"Who said I was lying!?" She shouted, anger was hinted in her voice. I only grinned slyly and she gritted her teeth. I watched as she summoned her staff and pointed it at me.
"I think it's time you go back Esper! Before you get yourself in more pain!" She shouted which just made me raise a brow and then sighed.
"You've noticed heh?" I confessed and she replied, "You can't hide things from me in this place. I know and I feel all the emotions and pain that gets emitted in this place. The only feelings I've felt in this place are happiness and love that means that you are in pain Esper! I know you are! You shouldn't have followed after me! You know that it damages your physical body!".
I just stared coolly at her. "I see...So you won't come back will you?" I asked and she shook her head violently. I only sighed in disappointment. "And I thought I could get you to come back without any means of violence…" I muttered and gave her an insane grin.
She flinched and then her eyes sharpened. "Bring it on Esper...I won't go down without a fight." She told me boldly and I only grinned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Pathetic! You're so Pathetic Kekeke!" I cackled as I comboed her and comboed her until I watched her groan in pain.
"Y-You!" She growled as she fell down and touched her electrifying shoulder. "You're weak now Witch. Your pathetically weak." I bluntly told her as I watched her eyes grow wide.
"W-WHat do you know!? Do you know how much I've tried to change it!?' She screamed as she tugged on her pigtails in frustration and I only looked at her blandly.
"Change what?" I asked and I watched as tears streamed down her face and I blinked. "God dammit! Don't cry! Why are you crying for!?" I panicked as I tried to find a handkerchief somewhere, but then sighed when I couldn't find one in my pocket.
I opened a random portal and then pulled out a bright green handkerchief with butterflies. I handed it to her and she blew into it like a trumpet. "Next to remind to get ear plugs.." I mumbled to myself as I pulled my fingers inside my ears and hoped that the honking would stop.
After about 2 more times, the honking had stopped and I sighed in relief. "Calm down? Keke. You look pathetic like that." I told her as I watched as she sniffled and then sighed. "Now tell me why you are so desperate to stay here and what the hell is the thing you want to change!?" I cursed as I scratched my head in frustration.
She sniffled again and wiped her eyes. She then faced the river and lowered her head. "It was all my fault...I wasn't strong enough to save him Esper..I was so weak back then that I couldn't even say "I'm Sorry"." She explained as the setting suddenly changed.
The sky had turned a deep black as storm clouds covered the sky. We were now levitating in mid-air and below us was an...an shrine?
I looked around quickly and found out where we were. "Feita….this is Feita isn't it Witch!? And isn't that the Altar of Dedication!?" I asked her as I saw a familiar monster...Berthe
I could hear shouting and sounds of battle from below. "This happened before we met you in Velder, Esper. It was back when it was only Infinity, Night, Vete, Seraph, and I. We were only in our first job classes and we didn't meet you or the others yet." She told me as the scenery changed.
We were now inside the altar and a battle was taking place. "I was a coward Esper...I was a coward…" She mumbled and I didn't know what she meant until I saw the battle before my eyes.
Seraph was desperately trying to shield the others with Moby and Remy while Night tended to Vete's wounds. Elsword and Aisha were still fighting, but were injured badly.
"Ha! You humans are pathetic! You and your scrawny little friends should of never of messed with us demons!" Berthe shouted as he howled and stunned Infinity and Witch.
"Magical Makeup!" I heard her shout as her previous self transform and desperately tried to throw starballs at the demon.
"Sword Fall!" I heard Infinity's past self shout as numerous swords appeared in the sky and fell to damage the demon. He roared in pain and then sent a piece of the ground in their way.
"ELS!" I heard Witch's past self scream as she desperately tried to teleport away from the attack, but failed.
"Els! GRAB MY HAND!" She shouted, but she didn't reach him in time. She had already teleported away and Infinity was down stuck under the piece of rock.
"Argh! A-A-I! Run Away! Now! Take everyone with you! Teleport away!" Infinity's past self shouted as he sent Witch's past self a weak smile. She started crying….Witch started crying.
"I left him there Esper...I left Infinity there! I was a coward!" She whimpered as I watched as her past self teleported everyone back safely to Feita while he was still struggling to get free.
"Esper...I couldn't change it...it was because of me...t-that..it happened.." She cried out as tears bursted from her eyes and she coughed out blood.
"Esper...I'm sorry..I can't go back…"
Well I hoped you liked it! I'll try to update as soon as I can! :D. Again, I'm sorry for the long wait!
