Chapter 29
I am the master of time, Chris. All of these characters are under my control. Lucy's power is growing stronger, and we are about to witness the extent of her abilities. Most of these characters are insignificant, so their deaths won't matter. However, there is one character, an unknown member of the Timecrest guild, who may have a chance to survive. Perhaps she will escape or be rescued by the heroes. I haven't decided yet. Let's dive into this new chapter, two chapters away from the next part. I hope you're ready for the ride.
Lucy, with her newfound power, went to inspect her progress. She had established her base in the ruins of the Bulgarian empire, now known as the new Volder. She paid a visit to one of her nearby camps and questioned the workers who seemed to be slacking off. "Are you letting them run amok? Why aren't they working?" she demanded. The people were intimidated by Lucy's presence. "Do as I tell you! Remember who's in charge! If you defy me, you'll face the consequences," she warned, her voice laced with a threatening tone. She wouldn't hesitate to punish them.
She whipped them back into shape, ensuring that her work slaves were more productive. She believed that just like Negative Valencia, this world would crumble under her rule, even with the hope of the world locked away. There was no room for hope, only fear. She remembered encountering a girl who resembled one of the administrators from the old Timecrest guild. The girl clung onto something dear to her heart, refusing to comply with Lucy's demands. "What are you doing? Why aren't you working?" Lucy questioned, recognizing her as one of the fans. But the girl stood her ground, refusing to yield. "No, I won't give this to you. This is mine, and I won't let go of it. I've cherished it for as long as I can remember," she declared defiantly. Lucy's anger surged, and she threatened the girl, vowing to make an example out of her. She had no intentions of showing mercy to someone who defied her authority.
Lucy's eyes darkened, her violet gaze turning as cold as ice, as cold as an amethyst stone. The girl, Sarah, was about to learn the consequences of crossing her. "Your name is Sarah, right? Well then, Miss Sarah, you will be locked away in darkness until you confess or until you meet your demise, whichever comes first," Lucy coldly stated.
The door was closed, leaving Sarah trapped inside. She clutched her statue tightly, relieved that Lucy hadn't taken it away. She whispered, "Master, I believe you're still alive. As long as you're alive, there's hope. Please, don't let us down. We're suffering out here. We couldn't all come and live in your garden of peace. Please, come and help us, save us from this evil woman who wants to destroy our world, your world, Ezra's world. First Mage Ezra, we implore you, to come to our aid."
The suffering inside the cell was unbearable for young Sarah, but she found solace in the company of other fans of Luther. They reached out to each other, holding hands tightly. Each of them clung to their little statues, the only possessions they had left. Despite their fear and weakness in the face of the darkness, they believed that Luther still protected them. They lined up their statues, hoping to bring light and positivity into their bleak surroundings. The statues emitted a gentle blue glow, a beacon of their unwavering faith and hope. They were enveloped by the warm embrace of the blue light, finding comfort and strength in its presence.
Lucy came to check on them, curious about her prisoners' well-being. As she opened the door, she was met with a blinding light. Startled, she stepped back, realizing that the white light was her weakness. Sarah stood up, acknowledging the power of the statues. "It's because of these," she explained. Lucy's plan had backfired. Frustrated, she vowed to return and left, closing the door behind her.
"We have a weapon," Sarah declared. The statues possessed a power that could weaken the darkness. The group felt a renewed sense of hope, believing that Luther was alive somewhere. It was their collective faith that kept them going. "As long as we hold onto these statues, we know he hears us," they assured each other, holding hands tightly. They acknowledged that their suffering was unprecedented, having lived a life of peace and control. But they were determined to survive. They believed that as long as there was someone who could rescue them, they would make it out of this ordeal.
Their statues continued to glow, indicating that Luther was still with them. The group took solace in this sign of hope, knowing that if he were truly gone, the statues would have ceased to shine. They held onto each other, refusing to let fear consume them. They were not alone in their struggle.
We're not alone in the darkness, the black, I am not harmless. As long as we have this there was a window near them sitting on that there was someone sitting on the ledge. It was a man about Riley's age he short, brown, curly hair shown he saw the light.
don't be afraid the voice said I'm sitting on the windowsill. It is nightfall, and everyone's asleep. If you come out, I'll carry you out each the window then I will teleport us away, but we'd all be safe. You all not die this night.
I'll take you where Lucy's power cannot reach you I saw the light from the white Trillium he flew into the black. I am room and the darkness comes. I will lead all of you out of everyone's sleeping hold onto your statues. Who are you? Sarah asked I will tell you, but I won't tell you now I'll tell you when we leave the man said he waved his hand and the group teleported away.
to the garden to save all of them, Lucy was alarmed that they escaped. She came to check on them again, but the room was empty. The chamber was empty. They escaped quickly to search for them. No one makes a fool of me. Ma'am, one of her guards one of her Barss said we can't chase that one down north and who is it north Bette it was North Robert North he is a fast flyer. Lucy said there's no way we can catch him well then there's no need to chase why not Norf I already know where they're headed. Lucy said to the gardens now, let us go back to bed. There's no need and chase them. I unlock new prisoners in here who won't be able to escape from Roberts's wrath and Roberts's loving embrace. No, let's go.
these people are big fools. If they think their hero is still alive Lucy said she walked into a black eye. What is wrong my dear Crane asked Oliver asked us. He came up to her Lucy Robert who Robert, who is the opposite of Riley. He's his noble Riley is coming and is a liar. Robert never lies. He's always truthful he's always the he is the most noble of nobles. He was the crown, prince of the Orion Empire of my world. My cousin, too I should say he kept my siblings safe well he's trying to save well I won't let him win most of everyone, I don't know how well he can do that well I won't let him win not this time, but not tonight I have to rest you've worked too hard. Oliver said he held her up. It's time for you to rest. Lucy knotted well I hope that I can just rest myself. I counted what I am today. My body is weak. I need to breathe in more black. I am also. Yes, you're right I need to rest.
but she drained, and she went to sleep. They were awful dreams to her peace, and hope for the people Luther was back, and he was in his full age and full power. Once again, she trembled at the thought of standing in front of him for the first time in her life, she never saw him face-to-face. She made him a child, but only through magic away, making him a baby and everything but now in her dream he was his full 29-year-old self. It was his turn to stare cold daggers at her she stepped back fear crept on her face, you think you can get away with what you've done he said destroying our world like this Lucy trembled. She stood in front of him I thought I thought I'd defeated you I had gotten back to my full age he said now lamb belongs to the people, not you, and this isn't even your world, you're me right not exactly. Lucy said with a bit of sarcasm. Oh yes, you look like me he said but feminine she knows don't you like what you have done? No, you're worse than the Vald Dorians you tortured the poor humans more than they have in my fans how dare you, Lucy cackles a little I had to they were being a man to me you're afraid, aren't you?
maybe a little she said as fear dropped are you afraid of me no, I thought we'd meet one day I didn't even know I had an opposite of myself until recently, but I didn't expect a woman well than you would've expected it since my sibling is also the female opposite of my own of your handover my sibling and I will not harm you. I will not hand over handover ash to you never my sibling and yours will be together. He said I will do something as sacred as binding them, and you will not be able to break it binding Lucy's face feared, crossed her face again finding his permanent that's right if I can't perform the ceremony, Ezra will now for you, Lucy Timecrest the blue lights surrounded him. She stepped back again. You're afraid of the light, aren't you? I'm not afraid of the light she said, I just can't touch it, that means you're afraid the light can hurt you. She knows light white I am. I cannot touch it because of your purity even in our world I can't touch white I really without having gloves.
I know your weakness he said that makes it easier for me normally I don't kill anyone but I will kill you and all your followers. That includes the villains of my world. Just they follow you also, I will read destroy the Vald Orion Empire. you can't destroy them again. Lucy said you can't you can't I can I'm a lot more powerful than I was when I destroyed them the first time, he said walking closer to her, just trying to shrink back out of his gaze and out of his light.
you're the opposite of me you're acting just like the two Vald Dorian mages I fought against wow that is not gonna work just like I was when I was in those trials, he said he wanted closer she didn't move This time he touched her. She shivered. Her face turned pale. You are sick, I know your weakness now when I do return to my normal form and my normal age I will come for you. This is just a dream when you see me for real you will cow and fear. How dare you take out the hope and light of this world, how dare you in prison these humans how dare you hurt my fans? How dare you hurt the Olympians dare you hurt me and changing my age?
you don't think I didn't notice you didn't think I couldn't feel my age change you're a monster Lucy and I will take care of you, one way or another you're applied to our world she cow to trembled. She couldn't meet his eyes. There was as cold as hers were earlier, she could not stand there. They were cool and icy the first time they'd been that way since the destruction of Volder 16 years earlier.
did tremble Did she say his name you would think you would stand here confident he said you can't even say my name without trembling Chin, without commenting, something wrong as Muffy got your tongue he said she stood there. She stood there in silence. I just wanna stay there or are you gonna fight me back, she stood there for a moment, staring at him. She couldn't get over how beautiful he looked like her, but different. His coldness was not because of evil. No, it was because of something else determination you can't look me in the eyes to downcast her eyes. Yours is pure as evil as anything you're as evil as Alvin maybe worse, he said.
she didn't even cackle she didn't even say a word. I will wake up soon. This is just a dream this can't be real. It is a dream because I'm not here he said, but when I do get to full age, I will come for you Lucy and we will have this confrontation again mark my words that we will meet face-to-face all you can do well I will leave you and you wake up. Just remember this he said I am not dead. You will not lie to the people again. A new Volder will fall. I'll make sure of it this time I will fight you on my own, but I will destroy the Vald Dorians. I'll even destroy the villains once and for all as well. Also, I will kill Crane as well he needs it besides, I should've killed him years ago, but I didn't now I regret it, but I will take care of him and you know I departed and remember my words he said as the dream ended.
and then Lucy woke up. She looked over beside her, her new love lying next to her. She reached over for the crane hand. What is it? He asked waking up I've had a nightmare. I didn't even think I could have nightmares I didn't know villains could have scary dreams a weekend, anyone can have nightmares he says what was it about the first half of the dream was good before the end we were together and everything was going to plan and then yes and then he was there impossible you know she said, roughing the blankets around her genuine fear showing on her face it was the first time she showed any other emotion besides hatred, felony evil coldness vulnerability is what she was showing. I didn't know I could show the emotion.
you're still human he said not knowing that course she was half human. She's Luther's office after all even I even though I'm not human do show these emotions, fear, and things he said what happened anyway between you and Luther he was angry about what I done he was angry about me, locking me away, his fans angry, that I have destroyed this world angry, that I have brought back the Vald Dorians from the dead, angry that I had changed him into a child a baby angry that I did any of these things that I don't regret doing. He said he's coming once he gets back to his full age we're gonna meet face-to-face and we're gonna battle it out. he said he's gonna kill the vans again. He said he's gonna kill you don't make me laugh, he said, don't make me laugh he will not be able to kill me. My lightning magic is stronger than his magic. He was the former master of wind, earth, and time he may be the master of three elements, but that doesn't mean anything.
and if that doesn't work, I still have soul he said of course but still, you don't have to worry about your pretty head he said padding, her head she smiled vulnerably. Genuinely her coldness was gone for a time. She leaned against him as his arms wrapped around her Luther is it going to hurt you? He can't he's only a child how long will he stay this way forever I hope, and if so, he could die. That way the watch cannot bring back children. That is true there's Ash I'll take care of Ash later he'll be easy to defeat. All I need to do is take his female counterpart away my sibling, and he'll be vulnerable and weak. If I can hold her hostage, I can lower him out, and then I will kill them. Both the watch will not be able to bring them back and the world will be mine.
it's a nice plan Oliver said, but what if they can figure out how to bring him back before you could then I'll kill off all the Timecrest that are alive. She said I will kill Luther. I will kill my sibling. I'm done with trying to give them giving her to my to Peter, I mean I want to kill her now so I will kill her. I will kill while he's vulnerable and he'll Ash and Scarlet then there will be no more. Hope the gardens will fall. Also, I will kill my grandmother as well. She can't stand anything if she's dead and I'll kill Evelyn and I'll try and kill all the heroes, that is great determination, he said I like that why don't I hold you for a bit he said you're cold for one. She smiled at the thought of him holding her.
and I'll even try and give you an air you smiled. I know you can Lucy you're young beautiful and you're attractive. I will not kill you just because you're human when you're not from this part of the world so I hope you can give me something relaxed maybe I can and maybe I have, she said, what do you mean? I think I'm pregnant she said even people have evil babies at least that's what I hoped for I did too. It'll be a shame if the baby ends up being good.
then we'll kill it no, I'll send it away. She said I don't want a good baby. I want an evil one. Don't worry I think you'll have an evil baby he said you're as pure evil as anything are you they laugh why don't I love you to sleep, he said, what do you mean by that when I make love with you and you fall asleep he said not graciously taking it I'm still a woman she said I still feel these things I know that Oliver said that he held her close to him let an evil seed grow in you and give us an evil baby and hopefully in nine months I can give birth before Luther becomes normal that's it maybe I might still have hope. I can have hope no one else that I can give my sibling to Peter after all and plan to see the evil inside her as well he already has you mean she knows my sibling should be pregnant by now if that's the case, the Nash will be upset to have his female counterpart have someone else's child and I might have a chance of destruction hatred. I can take the child as my air as well. You mean we could have two she knows even though it'll be through my sibling it'll count.
what is the baby isn't evil you said your sister is pure yes, my sibling is very pure. Lucy said but the person who gave her the baby is as good. I mean is evil and have hope that she hasn't flirted with anyone else in the time if that's the case, then the baby will grow soon, the baby should be born soon or later if it's a good baby that I won't take it but if I can tell it's evil and they can tell then I will come for it The child will be mine and my sibling will be under my control.
She went back to sleep and drained dreams of goodness to herself. Viral domination now not the rest of my rain continue that heroes your days are numbered. I'm coming to the gardens. All of you will perish soon.
she relaxed, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.
I meant here I think I got a lot done. I hope you enjoy this Lucy chapter. Also, I leased up some tied ends, and I said I would have more only survive. I know I had most of them survive which is good. I hope you tune in, and the next chapter chapter 30 will be a big one it'll tie up the rest of this chapter and lead you into part well seven so I hope you enjoy it.
see you in chapter 30
