{Lilith}

I stepped into My Mother's tent.
I didnt what to expect, Was I in trouble or Did she have another mission for me?
Questions raced in my mind.

My mother was sitting down with Her legs crossed and she looked very serious. There was something behind her That was cloaked behind a blanket. I didnt pay much attention to it but... in time I would.
"Both of you, sit down" she said Stoically
We both sat down as she Told us to do
I was very Obedient to my mother especially when she was serious

"Girls do you know why I've called you here?" She asked us
"B-Because were in trouble" Natsumi nervously Answered
"Haha" my mother just laughed
"No. Quite the opposite in fact." She said
"I need to ask you two A Favor"
My mother stood up as she said that.

" a favor!" I said.
"Yes..." she continued

My mother began to walk around the tent.
She had glistened eyes that were full of hope and tears...
"Girls, You have lived most of your lives in this Apocalyptic world... You never knew what it was like before this..."
"I know... I've heard stories that it was a relatively peaceful before this..." I said
"ya and there were no demons or monsters or anything like that." Natsumi added

"That's why We need to go back... In time... To Time Travel "

"T-Time travel...?" We both said together...
I knew my mother was crazy... But not this crazy!
How could she even say something like that! even as a joke.
"M-miss yint...! No offense but have you gone mad? Time travel isnt even possible" Natsumi said.

"Im afraid it is..." My mother walked over to the thing Cloaked object in the back.
*woosh*
With a quick yank ,She removed the cloak covering it revealing the device

There was a Shining crystal on a pedestal. It almost blinded us with it shiningness, M e and natsumi were stunned

"Your right Natsumi... It isnt scientifically Possible, But it is Magically Possible... "
"Magic? Mother what on earth are you talking about?" I questioned
"Your right Perhaps I should explain..."

Mom took a deep breath and explained her story

{Lilith}

My mother had tears in her eyes as she was about to explain
It was clear that she didnt like the state that the world was in

"Girls, As I said before... This world Is almost certainly doomed" she said
"Mom dont say that... There's still hope." I said
"I know dear... But just not here..."
She cried
My mother looked upset
"The demon Lord soleus has nearly destroyed all of humanity... and were running out of options

My mother walked over to the crystal again.
"This crystal has the power to Travel back in time... But only About 25 years back..."
"How?" I asked
"I wondered that myself... After performing experiment after experiment I concluded that The crystal has No scientific basis and thus operates on magical Nature."
"Wow. So how do you know itll work " natsumi asked
"I tested it myself and found it can go back in time But not that far..."

I still couldnt believe it. How could time travel actually exist and how could we even do it?
"But why us though? Were only teenagers."
My mother smirked...
"Lilith your the best soldier we have.!" My mother kissed me on the cheek.
"And natsumi... Your the daughter of my friend... and I want you to meet your mother." She explained

"I-I dont know, I still dont believe that this tiny crystal can travel back in time." I consulated
"All youll have to do is touch it and see."

"Ok but when we get to the future what do we do?" Natsumi asked
"First of all I need you to save my other friend Rabia. She dies tragically to a villian working for soleus."
"Secondly, Talk to Your father , Lilith"
"My father?" I asked
Mom had barely ever talked about my father before. The only thing I knew about him was that he was a swordsman and mom adored him

"Only he can tell you How to truly wield your sword" She said
"But I already Know how to wield it" I replied
My whole life i'd had this sword and I definitely know how to use it.
"Hmmmmm... how do I put this then? You Know How to wield Excalibur but You cant tap into it's true Power! "
a Feeling in my Heart bounced. I could feel the weight of Her words.
Maybe I havent Master excalibur Just yet.

"But How do we even get back?" Natsumi aksed
"You just have to touch this crystal. It'll read Your minds and Have You teleported to the Time your minds want to go to."
"Unfortunately though... it's only a one-way trip. And youll have to find your own way back." She explained
"..." I was silent.
Mom I... dont want to go..."
I had feelings of dread and fear inside my heart... What if the past is worse than the future?
What if we get stuck there?
"Im scared." I said.
I began to tear up like a little girl.
"Lilith... It'll be just fine dear." MY Mother wrapped her hands around my head.
"Please, You must go for the sake of our future." She said.

"Lilith I know your scared but we must do this! For the ones we love!" Natsumi assured
"Now, Touch the crystal Lilith and go foward with your destiny"
With my mother and Natsumi's courage. We both touched the crystal and were blinded by a light of hope which sent us into the past
