Yuki blinked when she noticed the shift in space. Her eyes went to where Setsuna was but she wasn't surprised to see her sister was no longer there. She let out a annoyed groan and Ember clung to her dress tight.

"Where are we." (Ember)

"A territory. Think of it as another space that's identical to this one but twists and turns. Doors leading to different unknown space or to be correct places you've never been." (Yuki)

"Wait aren't the dangerous." (Ember)

Instead she shrugged as she picked Ember up and hoisted her on her left shoulder. It didn't really bother her since she wasn't in her heavy armor. Her right hand went to the front door trembling. She had no clue what would be in the territory.

Territory were formed from abnormalities in the energy. Inside the territories there would be a different space of time, with living things inside. Each space differing from the next. It was never the same.

Opening the door she was shocked to see a grassy plain, but then her expression turned completely pale when she saw the castle. This place she was very familiar with it, yes Hina's previous life as a human princess. Even she didn't deny it since time ran differently here. It just meant more dangerous for her and Ember. Even if knowing more about that timeline might help her. It was still dangerous and anything could kill you in this medieval time period.

"Is something wrong." (Ember)

"Very. I remember this place. It's the castle from when I was still Hina." (Yuki)

"Wait you don't mean this is." (Ember)

"Afraid so missy." (Time)

Yuki's eyes narrowed as her face distorted into anger. The handsome green haired man in the Chinese robe annoyed her to no end. She understood Lin's hatred towards this man. He did as he please because he was time itself. Even she wasn't clueless to what happened now. He didn't throw them into a territory but a time pocket. Yuki didn't usually click her tongue but seeing him she couldn't help but do so.

"You fucking threw us into a time pocket." (Yuki)

"Congrats for guessing right." (Time)

"Your a monster you know that. You already screwed with Lin many times, even her daughter." (Yuki)

"Well it had to go somewhere. You know all those loop holes in time and time leaps." (Time)

"Out of all people you choose a innocent baby to burden with all that." (Yuki)

"But won't she be fine, growing into a adult from all those lessons." (Time)

Her eyes glared at him as he smiled as if it wasn't his problem.

"Say, did you hear of the doppelgänger affect Yuki. Let's say in this time line cause me there's the original. And the current you. Then here's a fun fact the original you in this timeline had just died by her brother. Now if you meet her you'll fuse with her but I wonder how that'll turn out." (Time)

Yuki turned even paler at his words as if he had made her lose all hope.

"No! Your worst than a monster brainwashing the 1st timekeeper by keeping her soul near you then reincarnating her making her thing she loves you. When in fact that love was towards her younger half sister. And you already know that yet you played with her time and again by reincarnating her without her actual consent. Is this really love. No it's obsession of wanting to possess something you can not." (Yuki)

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

Frighten Ember hid behind Yuki. Time no longer smiled but it didn't leave his face that he planned something for her.

"Asshole no wonder you don't know about the original time keeper. Well except she's always been asleep since the beginning of time and watching. Wait that's also her other ability to see from another's perspective and experience what they felt. That's why she hates you so damn much. She saw what you did to the first time keeper." (Yuki)

It all clicked into place the more she though about it. But he left after giving off a laugh, it sent shivers down their spines.

"Aunt Yuki, was that man evil." (Ember)

"In more ways than one. He thinks it's amusing to see humans struggle to live. If they get too talented he cuts them down by killing them. It's the phrase heaven gets to jealous of talent so they have a shorter life. To be exact if they're a threat to him he does so." (Yuki)

But she was frighten of this time period exactly because she couldn't predict where and which city Hina might massacre. Her breathing became uneven since she knew she couldn't alter the past no matter what even if she fused with Hina. It might make her personality might have a huge change. Disasters weren't even the word. She put her hand on Ember's.

"Ember.... if I fuse with the other me. You have to do one thing. And that one thing is get in contact with the Setsuna in this time. No matter what or the consequences she will protect you." (Yuki)

"Why are you trying to push me away." (Ember)

"I am not. But if I end up fusing I might have to relive the past without being able to stop it from happening. Plus we can't change much of the past here. Time knows that too. If anyone could it is the real person that can manage time but to do that she has to wake up. Or you could....(chokes) ask Ling Yue for help." (Yuki)

(Yep Ling Yue is older than blade by centuries. This is the first generation angels and demons they're talking about, at this time Ling Yue was 13 years old. Blade hasn't been born yet.)

"Why do you sound kinda bothered by Ling Yue." (Ember)

"Because this might change a few things in history. You know because she still has her heart which the gods later label as forbidden item. Her heart is what harms her from having feelings so eventually she'll have to rip it out." (Yuki)

Ember stood there stunned as she looked at Yuki then back at the hand that gave her a token.

"This is the demon world's gate entrance token. It can get you in and allow all those demons in the netherworld to let you off. The token can also allow you to go to Ling Yue as a free pass. Explain to her about Time and she will know what to do." (Yuki)

Ember's face turned pain as she wanted to say what about you but she realized that from what Yuki said the chances of her being unscathed was lower than 80%.

"I might not be able to do anything for you this time around. But when we meet it might be different." (Yuki) 

Her hand patted Ember's head as she walked away towards a village. Ember stood there stunned as her hand clutched tightly to the token.

'Damn it! That stupid asshole is at it again.' (Airi)

"Wow she's angry again." (Lin) 

"My guess is he did something that even a domesticated cat wouldn't do that would later come back to kill it." (Ling Yue) 

'And you two dimwits fasten your stupid thing to wake me up. First thing I'm doing is punching the guy then we throw him into some volcanic piranhas.' (Airi) 

"Is it me or is the original time keeper more pissed than depressed." (Lin) 

"Time probably did another idiotic thing. Like killing someone or messing with someone's fate when he's not supposed to. Isn't it usually then that she flips out the most." (Ling Yue) 

"So true but she didn't have to go on full blast." (Lin) 

"It's  not like we can tune her down either. You know we hear her thoughts on a daily basis. Plus she's actually what keeps Time from not screwing everything and everyone's life to let's say utter chaos and hell on the living world." (Ling Yue) 

"Then all we need to do is look for a medium and put her on a mountain full of energy turn it on full blast to make it so we can synchronize it with Airi's wavelength and aura then voila we got awaken time keeper that's not man made. Which reminds me have you found that vessel." (Lin) 

"Niana's the most suitable." (Ling Yue) 

"Damn your first crush eh? She's a tad bit more tricky to trick now. I mean you can try to seduce her since you know her last life let her learn not to trust man and she's a lesbian in this one." (Lin) 

"You did not just throw the idea of me being bait out there." (Ling Yue) 

Lin floated next to her but shrugged as if to say better than what Airi wanted to suggest.
