The dagger pierced right through, blood dripped out of Lucy’s chest, her eyes going from a crimson red to white. Her body went limp as she dropped onto the floor, blood pooling underneath.
I crawled up to her, my hand reaching out to her body, my hand shaking, her head fell flat, her pulse completely stopped.
“Hey wake up”.
“Wake up, he’s right there you shouldn’t be here”.
A flash of lightning was thrown against him, Neila caught it with his bare hands, his face turning pitch black from the heat, crusting and falling apart.
“Gaia reverse yourself for me”.
The black dust that laid upon the ground reformed back into Neila’s arm.
Green rings surrounded his arm, as his arm came back.
“I’m going to kill you”.
Neila pointed towards Zeus with a knife, his eyes shining like a pool of blood.
His hands were shaking, not from sadness but from being scared.
Adrenaline pumped throughout his body, as he gripped onto the knife.
There’s a thin line between bravery and stupidity. Courage is not the absence of fear, but overcoming it.

“Let’s reenact the Titanomachy shall we, Kronos”?
“Athena, give me a boost”.
She threw him an hourglass.
“What’s this supposed to do”?
“It’ll increase the duration of all your abilities”.
He threw the hourglass up into the air as time began to slow down, the hourglass eventually stopped falling, it stopped midway.
The dry wind eventually stopped, his feet slightly sinking into the sand.
“Lucy, I can’t help but think why I feel no sadness for your death, I just feel like a part of me had died, I wonder what would happen if I was just strong enough to move even an inch. Y’know, I planned out a whole future with you yet it all crumbled into dust”.
A drop of water fell onto the dry sand, from sand to mud.
“I’m scared Lucy, I’m afraid of everything”.
Neila held his hand out, reaching out from something that could fill the empty void in his heart.
The only thing that could fill the hole in his heart was another.
“If I don’t have anything, I don’t have anything to lose”.
He grabbed his knife, clawing at Zeus’ skin, the sword broke as he collapsed onto the floor, tears fell down his cheek.
Zeus’ empty stare
It was lifeless like a husk without a soul.
“Please Khaos, I beg of you, give me power, give power to the weak, give me the power to defeat him”.
He sat on the floor crying

“Fuck this shit, no one is gonna to help me, no one ever will”.
He raised his hand up towards Zeus’ chest
”I’ll get my power, I’ll become the strongest, I’ll kill every single demon on this god forsaken planet and then I’ll kill myself”.
Neila had stopped time twice, a ball of emptiness, a ball where space doesn’t exist, that deletes anything it touches.

Time resumed like normal.
