Osir’s ears were filled with a loud clapping sound. He felt ashes slip out of his hands. “What a badass move.” Farah’s voice echoed throughout the city. Osir looked around, perplexed. “That desperate, huh?” Her body gradually emerged from behind the crumbling walls. “Risking the entire universe for your true love, who, by the way, chose to kill herself rather than be with a lunatic like you.”

She finally crossed his confused body, “What would you do if you resurrected her for real and she rejected you again? Would you... I don’t know, kill yourself?”

He locked his gaze on her, trembling in fear. “I never understand creatures like you, believing they have the right to live like humans, feel like them, and be them,” she said as she took a step closer. She grabbed his neck, squeezing all the air from his trembling body. “You wanted Meritamun so badly that you didn’t notice who exiled your filthy soul from the human realm.”

He lost control of his tall body as he whispered her name. Her other free hand hacked it mercilessly into the middle of his chest. Her hand twisted inside, ripping his clear heart out.

His blackish blood covered her hands, his body trembled on the rough ground, and he howled for air as he looked up. His heart continued to pound between her fingers as she squeezed it again.

She looked around at the others, who were all staring at her. Rayan looked at Chan-mi, who was also perplexed; both had the same thought. Rayan returned his gaze to Farah, who nodded lightly, confirming the only thought they both shared.

She squeezed his heart one last time, and he died.

Farah’s voice abruptly echoed in their heads, forcing them both to look at her. Only you two now know what will happen next. Rayan shifted his gaze between her and Chan-mi.

The three of them knew that both universes had reached their crescendo. Nothing left to be saved. Farah smashed his heart on the ground. A faint ticking clock suddenly filled their ears. “These two mirrored universes can’t continue like this.” She said as she approached them.

“Are you going to vanish them all?” Liam asked. Farah returned her gaze to Osir’s lifeless body.

“Your elders never wanted any of you to know such information, but you need to know before I do anything,” Farah stated. “Osir was such a stubborn Divine, taking my shuut was destroying my human life, in this universe, powers existed, and I was…” She came to a halt and looked at her hands before taking a deep breath.

“You don’t need to tell us,” Rayan stated sternly. Eleni frowned at him, and he could feel the intensity in her eyes. “The ancient ones had three prophecies, each has the end of the cosmos, the first was with Osir breaking the Oath, the second was annihilated the bennu shuut and the third was reborn and merging of Bennu as a human.”

“When they separated the human world into two mirrored ones, I was born into my rightful family, strong and powerful. However, because both universes are mirrors but not identical, time works a little differently. Osir destroying my shuut affected the right balance of my life. I was… I did such cruel things... I was extremely powerful, but because the entire universe was out of balance, everything went wrong.”

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

She rubbed her closed eyes with her hands, then looked at Rayan, who shared her pained expression. Eleni couldn’t contain her curiosity and abruptly asked. “Do you know each other? That look between you two!”

Chan-mi cleared her throat and frowned at Eleni’s unexpected question. “We met a couple of times,” Rayan stated. “You don’t have to tell us what happened before, you didn’t have a choice.”

Farah simply sighed and stated, “In that life, I was extremely powerful, and my family was well aware of how beneficial that was. Imagine a world where real power and wealth collide; anything is possible.”

“That universe was brutal because of Osir; each universe has an almost infinite number of realities, and he killed every variant of Kiya, reshaping the mirror universe. Her life wasn’t supposed to be like that; it was supposed to be more... peaceful.” Chan-mi said.

“The third prophecy was that I would be reborn into my rightful self, but that my rebirth would eventually erase the existence of both universes and the cosmos. This is the last minute we have in here before everything changes.” Fear had finally crept up on the cupids as they looked at each other.

“Does that mean the whole cosmos will be rewritten?” Theia inquired quietly. Farah gave a nod. “How would you shape it then, are you going to have all realms back into one?”

Farah frowned as she looked at Rayan and Chan-mi. Eleni then pointed to them and said, “That’s the look!”

“We don’t know what will happen next, the prophecy ends here, with her reborn and the absolute vanishing of the cosmos as we knew it,” said Chan-mi.

“I am the key to reshaping the cosmos, reborn from ashes but I won’t create it.” Their expressions were filled with anguish. “The only thing I know is that the realms won’t vanish but rather altered a bit.”

The ticking sound grew louder. Rayan extracted the pocket clock from his pocket. “Five minutes.” He said this while staring at them. “We must go back to our realms.”

They exchanged one last glance before returning their gaze to Farah, who appeared nervous. Rayan's shadows moved slowly over their standing bodies, covering each one and returning them to their realm. He was the only one left standing, his gaze fixed on Farah. “I am sorry.”

She returned his gaze with a weak smile, “It’s okay.”

Their souls were filled with silence, which was louder than words. His apologies went beyond what was about to happen. It was for a shared past she wished to forget.

He had no idea she was in pain, and memories resurfaced when she was reborn as her true self. An identity both knew the name of. A name that carries with it decades of agony and despair.

He returned her smile and said his goodbyes before heading back to his realm and vanished.

She finally returned her gaze to the city she once called home. Saying goodbye to the life that only she would remember, cursing her ability to reincarnate but not forgetting her previous life. Her heart was racing, and her body was waiting for it to stop.

One last deep breath.

Unleashing her cataclysmic power, consuming entire universes, and obliterating the fabric of reality itself.

A surge of fiery flame radiates from her body, the ground shakes beneath her, and the skies darken as storm clouds gather. The force of her unleashed power creates shock waves that ripple across the cosmos, demolishing everything in their path.

Amidst the destruction, Farah’s flames served to purify the remnants of the old universes, stripping away the existence of blurred walls between humans and the Divines. “I hope you rot in hell, asshole.”

Farah closed her eyes after her final words, as the cosmos disappeared into searing flames and an entirely new was born.
