Chapter 41 - Order 41: Alternate line

the inner city that once was flaoting crashes down on the surface destroying hundreds of houses and the root that held the once beautiful city up in the sky cracked in half in dissapeared in light blue colours

the guards that left middle in the battle appear like stars in the sky and swoop under the falling city trying to hold up

but like you would expect its to heavy and slowly is falling without stopping but slowed down still

----------------

Cryo stands before the unconscious Achlys his marking glowing faintly blue

Lisare on one knee with her broken leg laying on the ground slowly healing from the battle they fought "Dop dop"

Lecia a few feet away from Achlys crawling towards him with pain and grunting "please... Husband... Be... Alive" her voice weak but weary

She grabs Achlys hand squeezing it softly as it feels warm "I'm... Glad..." She faints but holding on Achlys's hand no matter what happens

"Lecia... I'm sorry you should have seen him like this" Cryo apologized in his own mind to not show his weakness in this saddening moment

"Lisare... Can you walk... Or perhaps using your life binder as your waking stick..." Cryo asked

Lisare looks at him and nods, she slowly stands up and looks at him questioning what he wants to Happen

"Can you perhaps... Bring polo here... He needs healing... Even tho I don't want to" lisares eyes widen staring shocked at him

"Dop dop..." Cryo looks at her staring really tired back "I don't want my master to see what I did..." Cryo spoke out freezing Lisare on the spot once more

"Please..." Lisare nods and starts to walk wobbling with each step towards polo

She lifts him up and polo grunts weakly "hnng... Why am I hurt... Why can't I see..." Polo asked out making Cryo clenching his fist and gritting his teeth "we sadly don't know what has happened Sir... We found you here hurt... And the city destroyed"

Polo listened to Cryo voice as Polo mouth shows a small smile but dissapears as fast as it shows ,"where's... Crevial... My small sister..." Lisare placed him down next to Achlys and she falls on her knees next to Cryo again

"The fake king... Took her away and ran..." Those words that polo heard stopped his world. In that instance its like time stopped for him

"I am gonna freeze your body to heal it... It can hurt... No it will hurt" polo doesn't respond

Cryo puts his hand on polo's chest but polo slaps it away and tries to stand up "Crevial! I!... I will... Save you..." He stood up his legs shaking violently

He takes 3 steps but it fails as you expect

His body fails him

face first plummets to the ground fainted and breathing loud "I... Will... Save" his words reach out but don't go far

Achlys sighs softly and opens his eyes wide, Cryo doesn't notice while Lisare does and tries to run to him but falls Infront of Achlys "DOP DOP!!"

Cryo is freezing polo body gentle but with pace "Can you shut up,I am trying to concentrate!"

She taps his shoulder disturbing his focus and he turns to face her but sees Achlys standing there "hey there... Bird... You should focus on healing him right?"

Cryo starts to sweat and turns back to polo slowly freeze healing him "I-i should Indeed hahaha" he shakes a little of Achlys pissed off face

Lisare stares at them and sighs "dop dop... Sisi" she shakes her head and puts her hand on her head

She looks at her leg slowly healing "Sisi longet!" She spoke out loud

She sits on the ground staring around a little at the aftermath watching the city fall with the 2 stars fighting it back

"They need help don't they lisare..." Lisare looks up seeing Achlys standing behind her

She nods and stares back at the city "I think we should let it crash down... It only shows bad memories of the past for this city..." His voice calm tired but a hint of sadness thrown into it

"How things went in the city was not ment for fun... People lost families, friends, loved ones and some even lost their lives..." He clenches his fist

His fist tightened turning red but Lisare touches his hand

He looks at her and she looks back shaking her head "yeah you are right... I should not see this as a bad thing... We won this battle and people lost their lives... But I still feel bad for not saving enough" he sighed out in frustration

"Young man... You did enough for us... We knew you were coming but the Governor didn't know what was coming..." Achlys turns around and sees a elder woman with a black shining ball in her hand

"And who may you be?" Achlys asks nonchalantly

Lisare hits his head but he doesn't flinch as he expected that much "dop dop!" "I expected to be hit"

The elder lady places her ball on he ground and bows down "my name is Mirai deslucand I am a fortune teller and future teller... My nickname is... Thy Prophet..." Achlys stares In disbelief

"A future teller... That is amazing... But why did you lie to the governor... Not that I see a reason why you wouldn't" he replied with a smile

"If I did tell him you were coming... He would have prepared many more soldiers and even... A breaker..."

"A breaker?" He answered in a short time to her story

"Indeed... A breaker... Its ment to break Order users mentally... And use their perfect counters for thy Orders powers..." She grabbed her ball and walked to Achlys

She points at Polo "he was ment to be thy Breaker... If I told thy Governor about you coming here..."

Achlys starts to realize something "... what we just did... the fighting... i was ment to lose... theres a alternate timeline... that you... no... we created" 

the lady nods at Achlys realization "indeed... it was the only way mister... Sword... if we didnt... many more would have died and a second conquest of thy planet would start..." 

Achlys realizes what she ment is starts to think more "what will happen... to our timeline"  Mirai heard his question and she places the ball into Achlys hand "you will see... in the near future"  

he stares at her in confusment as she puts her finger before her mouth "alright... i understand"  Achlys murmered

-------------------

where the time tree resides a time master with a hood over its face is staring into some small cylinder watching long lines with small yellow like balls attached to it

every little line holds about 80 little balls onto it 

the time master notices something and her mouth opens a little and she bites her lip in frustration

she teleports away to where she needs to be as she left the cylinder behind 

the cylinder has formed a crack and every line is shaking voilently with one of the snapping in 2 and they both grow

'an alternate timeline has been formed' 

--------

Back at Achlys

"Time master will notice... Time master will interfere... Time master will destroy" Mirai said as she walks past him grabbing a crying Pegaluve up

"we are here to enjoy this world burn... But we are scared to die! We creatures love to hunt and adapt" her way of talking changes drastically

"No matter what we do or did... We are just another example of selfish" she holds the young pegaluve boy to her close and draws circles on his head as it starts to grow older "I am a prophet Achlys... But I am also thy time master of Hope and Fate"

She bows down placing the older grown Pegaluve on the ground and a yellow like robe goes over her covering her face fully

"you will forget not forget our conversation Achlys but you will forget my humble face of time! Be strong and continue to work, and I will stop thy timeline from changing any further"

She flies up and a cylinder with those lines and orbs in it teleports into her hands

"Heed my words be thy salvation we are waiting for Achlys! Be our gods righteous knight!"

She shines over the whole city as every house in the lower city starts to get repaired "Clock of redemptive offering" millions of tiny clocks appear around the city people and even parts of the mountaintopsIn the far distance

In a flash of light everything looks back to normal before the fight except the inner upper city is gone and the root that held it up only remains standing

Pegaluves walk around the streets like nothing had happened

"Sir? You good? Are you alright" a pegaluve asks Achlys he stares at him silent not answering

Achlys heard a noice and turn to the noise as he sees Cryo, Lisare and Lecia staring in concern and confusment back "Achlys... What happened just now... A bright light and now this..."

Achlys stays silent and signs to stop about it

They all 3 nod before hearing a grunt of pain "my head... What happened here..." They all stare at the noise as Polo walks out the alleyway holding his head up with his hand

He notice the four "do I know you guys?" Polo asks confused rubbing his head in pain

"No... Sorry-" Lecia tried to finish her sentence as she forcible pushed aside by a few female Pegaluves "OH MY LORD ITS POLO!! OUR PRINCE OF HOPE" they shout standing around him and giggling

The blush and they try to take polo away but he stops himself. "Ladies... One moment..."

He stares at Lisare "I am gonna go to my sister... She was in prison if I am right..."

Cryo stops him before going further "I'm sorry to tell you... But Crevial... Has been taken away by... Something "

Polo eyes widen and runs to Cryo tackling him with Lecia, Lisare and even Achlys not stopping him

"Where is she? What do you know!?" He shakes him violently trying to get the answer he hopes he gets

Cryo looks to the side "we sadly do not know that yet..."

He pushes Cryo to the side and stares at Achlys "how do you even know who my sister is?!"

Achlys sighs and turns away to start walking away "no idea... She told us one day and we just believed her" he spoke out walking away

Polo staring at him annoyed but not doing anything "fuck... Why does she always do this!"

Polo throws a punch to a house but Lisare stops him "dop dop..."

Polo looks at her pissed but that didnt last long as tears form in his eyes 

"Please... do bring her back one day..."  that question reaches everyone ears in a deep sensation

"we will do our best to bring her back!" Cryo answered with a smile "dont worry! she will be back in no time!" Lecia followed hitting Cryo's head 

"dop sisi dop dop!"  Lisare smiled putting her hand on his shoulder 

"we will find her... and bring the one down to his knees! and make sure that your family will be together once a more" Achlys answered in hope and happyness

Polo heard them all and tears fall down his cheeks as he screams out loud crying with Pegaluves going around the small group listening 

"Polo can you do it be strong!" "we believe in you!" "your sister will come back" "where can i buy some food?" all the pegaluves give Polo hope to believe and he hugs 2 random pegaluves as The small group of 4 look at each other and nod
