Yuki sat at the library after Setsuna had set down all the history books and left. Her only words were read and learn. So Yuki didn't say anything because Setsuna had left the mansion after saying so. Her eyes went to the maze of books in front of her. Then to the books that were on the table left by Setsuna.
When she was in the library she seemed stunned to see a memory play out in front of her.
"A memory crystal." (Yuki)
Her words were a soft gasp as she watched the events of the past unfold as if she was there in person.
"Oh by the gods sister are you damn insane." (Light green haired girl)
She looked no less than 19 years old. The other girl was 35 years old but holding a grimoire in her hand.
"Sure I'm insane. I want to find out the origins of these grimoires. Estelle think of it like this these magic grimoires were once people too. They guarded something or someone in the tower of origins. This is a huge find for humanity no for all race, since they're not looking for the beginning of times yet these books points to it." (Dark purple haired)
"Are you insane." (Estelle)
Her fists slammed onto the books on the table, her sister was looking for something many scholars before her did also.
"Sister turn back now, before it leads you to your death too. This is unprecedented of the Hydacil family. This, we a family of the immortals and devil bloodline can even die from even this and we're known for undying. Sister turn back before you end up dead. I've seen too many die cause of this foolish dream." (Estelle)
"I won't stop until I'm dead or I have the truth. But there is one thing that intrigued even me in these Realms. Time keepers. Where's the original before these fakes that erased themselves appeared. It all points to this hidden tower. And I promised this spell book I'll turn her back to a person. Even if spell castors use her they don't understand her nor her origins nor her sisters. I want them to be people again. Can you imagine that." (Purple haired)
"Seiki this. It's unfounded for a royal of the immortal lineage to be involve in this stupidity of yours." (Estelle)
"If I do die then a pity I can't help anyone. But I want to find the truth in this mixed era world of ours. No these worlds should be the correct term." (Seiki)
"This is insanity sister. Even for you. Tory was right as the next head of the family you should take the throne. Why this insanity that can kill you any moment." (Estelle)
"Yet she killed herself." (Rin)
Yuki blinked when she noticed the lady in front of her with dark green hair.
"I'm a coworker of your mother. Or better terms is I'm also a gatekeeper. I didn't think I'd find bits and pieces here. Sometimes something lost can be found too." (Rin)
"Who are you." (Yuki)
"This memory fragment is of my mother. Seiki. She tried to find the origin towers. Or as many humans and other race knows it as the tower of beginning of time. For the price mother paid. It wasn't the gods that killed her. But time itself that ate her for finding out the dark truth. It (time) fell in love with one of the time keepers and the highest price for the guardians of the tower and it's sisters they paid the full price as grimoires. This is the truth. The only truth, the ugly truth of our worlds and why it's so fucked up with all the mixed time eras. The ancient, modern and futuristic worlds all mixed and mashed into one." (Rin)
Yuki blinked at Rin running her mouth.
"Enough Rin. The girl needs not know of the past." (Ling Yue)
Her head had silver wolf ears popping out but her mismatched eyes burned with anger.
"What do you know your nothing but a stranger." (Rin)
"This girl is the reincarnation of Hina. Not the time keeper your looking for your anger is misplaced. Plus there are three alternate timelines your speaking of. Meaning three different versions of time keeper of the same person no thanks to the foolish Time as you call it. She is not involved." (Ling Yue.)
Instead Yuki stepped back confused when she felt two monsters release their auras on max. Rin was thrown off her feet and slammed into the door behind Yuki.
"This does involve me. Rin. Your mother may have been killed by that ashore time. But I am Lin are a part of a whole. She is also the original time keeper at one time. In one of our lifetimes. But you know the most sickening thing that pisses me and her off. Everyone. And by that I mean everyone of you that wish to escape your so called time to become a fake one to run away effects my no her and mine daughter in the far future." (Ling Yue)
Yuki's expression changed when she realized something these were Lin's emotions and her very feelings of anger. Yet here she was her and Lin's feelings in sync. Confusion showed on Yuki's face then the horror of why Ling was so pissed made her come to her senses. The more time keepers existed and altering the past so they ceased to exist to become time keepers was affecting Lin's child.
"Do you. Or any of them understand what messing with the timelines is to her. Ripples that cause more tragic tragedy unfold in her childhood. Yet they don't stop, they're a chain event tied down to time. Does anyone of you understand that or my anger at the rest of you fakes. Including what you did to make your mother exist still inside that crystal on her dying breath." (Ling Yue)

"Calm down Ling. This person meant no harm in showing up here." (Yuki)
"Oh is that so. When she said she was your mother's coworker she didn't lie. But I can sense killing intent easily. Are you so clueless to even that. Your such a clueless child Hina." (Ling Yue)
"Wait did you just mean I'm dense." (Yuki)
"Why the heck do you even keep track of this person when your unrelated to her." (Rin)
"If your taking your anger on her then do it on other time keepers. They're a annoyance to even me. Our second child is not for you other races to play with. Do you know that because of your stuck up ideas the Phoenix race is almost on extinction in her timeline." (Ling Yue)
"Wait aren't they always abundant and overpopulated even in the realms." (Yuki)
Ling Yue's fierce glare cut through even her, making her shut her mouth. She knew that Lin didn't want her to be involved yet she somehow connected the dots. This person that said she was a coworker of her mother tried to get her involved.
"As I said before even if Yuki looks are close to the bitch 2nd time keeper don't mistake her for her. Or else I won't care what happens to you. I'll unleash a hell you wish isn't here. I'm Ling Yue, the true ruler of the land of the dead. The daughter of the goddess of dead Yin Meng. My father is the previous lord of the netherworld before Blade Azual. Emerald Azual." (Ling Yue)
At the moment Rin heard the last two names she started hyperventilating. These were world class monsters that even gods and goddesses kept away from. One was the ruler of the demon world. The other was the ruler of the dead. There was a rumor that they had a child but many people only dismissed it as a mere rumor. Those who knew better knew she was a dark had you don't want. Ghosts weren't her specialty it was dead souls. (Ghosts are considered fragmented souls.)
"Y-yyou don't mean you'll unleash the dead onto the world if I mess with this girl." (Rin)
"I'll leave that to your imagination. But I'll say this Hina the mother of all angel is not your enemy. Plus this is only her 2nd reincarnation same with Setsuna. Hima has a hatred for humans, that's my only clue to you Yuki if you see her. That if is kinda big. And her second life was a disaster, how do I know look into your archives and you will fully understand how she played into human hands. Her hatred is more than a normal person. Sure she won't kill innocents but that doesn't mean her hate can be rid of easily by her own former sister." (Ling Yue)
Her words were all with a deep double meaning leaving even Yuki surprised. But just as she was about to close the other door. (The one side not broken by Rin slamming into from her pressure)
"Ah one more thing, your wondering why I and Lin are so close to each other on a emotional level. I'd say fusion but it's more our circumstances that made us similar. Then there's a fact that you didn't pay attention to. Our memories are perfectly in sync so much so if I can't tell I'm Lin or if she was me. Unlike the rest of you girls I see and felt all the memories and emotions as if it was me there. Whereas you girls just felt like it's mostly other people's lives. To me you're all like children. Her children are also mine in sense, that's how I feel." (Ling Yue)
Rin was shivering next to the broken door frighten.
'She doesn't want you involved nor does she want you looking up past history that you don't have a need for. Time keepers are the problem you don't need to look for. Leave it to us.' (Lin)
Her shock was just settling down after Lin used telepathy for a message. Yuki's eyes went to Rin who was confused as she stared at Yuki.
"How can this be? Your Hina. That Hina who was used by those disgusting gods as their pet. The one who gave birth to the later generations of angels. This doesn't make sense." (Rin)
"Nor is your reason for attacking my library." (Setsuna)
Yuki didn't say anything when she noticed Setsuna standing there by the hallway looking in on her library. The roof had been destroyed from Rin's dramatic entrance to try killing Yuki. Then there was how she got blasted through several book cases by only Ling Yue's aura alone.
----------------------------------------
"If I so much as see one more time keeper they're dead. Those fuckers should learn that there's consequences too. That they want hallow happiness for those loved ones by erasing their existence but is that true happiness." (Ling Yue)
Her wolf ears were no where to be seen only her purple hair fluttered in the wind as she sat on the tall building over looking the city.
"Well those two aren't exactly like you either." (Lin)
"In what way is idiotic Setsuna and Yuki the same as me. I used astral projection so you can move freely outside of me." (Ling Yue)
"Point taken. Sure I hate them time keepers too. But it saddens me that she's looking for any trades of me cause she asked Rem when Rem visited her." (Lin)
"I don't think she should even know of my existence. Nor my history of my splits. Yet Rem seems to have told her. This girl is as stubborn as me. I only learn about her from archives and I can't go to her. You know why too." (Lin)
"Yes stupid Time wouldn't allow it." (Ling Yue)
"The original time keeper is a sleeping beauty that can't wake up but is always aware of everything. It saddens me to say this but all I sense from her when I was her is sadness about the outside world as she watched all timelines unfold unable to move or to do anything. Her anger when she saw my daughter's struggles is still with me. I'm linked to her emotions even now though I'm dead." (Lin)
"So the two of us the closest to you in regards of emotions and memories." (Ling Yue)
"I guess you can say that." (Lin)
----------------------------------------
"If I can't have what I want it can go to chaos by the chaos beast I called with her insanity on the edge." (Davis)
He stood at the balcony downing himself with wine as he stood there in anger. His twin had abandoned his plans of world domination for his friends and time with the family. Anger ran through Davis hand as he threw away another glass of wine. It had been 2 days since his brother stopped coming home. This angered Davis. His only support in the family had left him just like that.
----------------------------------------
Rika gasped as she felt her head with a wave of dizziness. Her feet were unstable as she tried to get up. She heard a voice calling to her to destroy. Another part of her was telling her to search for more mysteries to solve, the other part of her reasoning said to look for her sister since she could help her. One part of her reasoning said to kill her reincarnated sister. A scream came out of her at the thought of seeing her sister in blood.
The reason that had kept her going many centuries ago was to see her sisters again. The thought of going insane and massacring was scaring even her. She looked over at Ivo frighten. Her realization that she was in a solid glass room with Ivo frighten her. Then she remembered being knocked out by Rem.
"Rika calm down. Auntie said your dying. And that your going insane soon. I should keep you safe so you don't wander off. Or it might kill you." (Ivo)
"And you thought to look me up was the most sane idea. Do you even know how I am in these kinda places. I'm uncomfortable I can't stand it." (Rika)
"Look I didn't have a choice either. I had to scan your mental health and your physical health for evidence. Yes your mentally unstable right now. Your physical health is deteriorating beyond even what I can believe impossible to your kind yet here we are. How can you not tell us when we live with you. Rika we're all worried we might lose you." (Ivo)
Her eyes stared at the cyborg in front of her holding her hands close to her. With a worried expression on her face.
"Did she tell you what Abyssals really are." (Rika)
Rika wanted to scream at herself to stop, don't plant this doubt into Rika. Please she's just a 2nd generation born from a Abyssal and another race.
