Tie: When Adam went to Alepsia to learn about Arrays in order to save the Mirag City.

…

Alepsia usually visited and watched Adam working in the room, immersed in the Array of Light, learning as much as he could. The reason he gave was that he was going to save Mirag town.

Honestly, it was pretty much impossible since Mirag Town was already destroyed, but the man in front of her had signed a contract that he would. An oath.

And that was something Alepsia didn't take lightly. And maybe it was a bluff or something, but Alepsia bet on it. There was little to lose from it.

However, with time, she too started believing that the man in front of him could really do it. He was truly capable of doing it. Alepsia did not know how, but his hard work, his perseverance, his tenacity. It made her believe in him.

And somewhere along the lines, she began developing feelings for this boy who never gave up.

So she began supporting him however she could holding nothing back. In fact, she even called her sister Valencia to help him out.

Sadly, Valencia didn't like the way Alepsia was behaving in this regard, so she didn't help her sister out. She didn't interfere in anything Alepsia did, and even that was hard for her, given how Alepsia was blindly trusting and helping Adam.

But since Adam was a beacon of hope in this darkness for Alepsia, Valencia had no choice but to watch from a distance. If Adam were to have any nefarious thoughts towards her sister, she would give this man the worst death possible.

Thankfully, nothing happened till the very end. As Adam reached the point where he learnt everything he could from the array users of the Light City, Azenor.

And one particular day…

"I will be going back in time now. Thank you for everything, Alepsia. I will fulfill my promise. Don't worry," Adam spoke with a smile as he began checking his System again.

"My True Name is Alepsia Enera Di Uvion. Call me by that name and no matter what the situation is, I will come to help you… but remember… you can only use it once… so be careful how you use it…" Alepsia spoke as she looked at Adam.

"Going back in time was one possibility I came up with when you talked about how you are going to save everyone… including those who passed away. It's impossible even for Gods like me to do it… but then a God like me couldn't see through you, so maybe…? I just betted on that possibility," she smiled as she explained her reasoning to him.

"Thank you," Adam bowed as he thanked Alepsia, making her smile a little.

And then after Adam clicked on restart, he began vanishing from there. Took little long, but within a few seconds he was gone from there, leaving Alepsia standing there on her own. In that empty room.

"Are you sure you didn't want to say anything else to him?" Valencia appeared from behind Alepsia, as she looked at her.

"He is going back in time, Valencia. Even if he meets me now, it would be Alepsia of that timeline and not this one." Alepsia had a melancholic smile on her face.

All those moments she spent with Adam were kind of cute to her. He worked day and night, all the time, just because he could do something on his own. So that he can protect a town that had nothing to do with him.

Alepsia couldn't help but fall in love with Adam.

"But still. It doesn't mean that you cannot express your feelings to him?" Valencia stood by the open window from where the view of the entire city was visible.

Alepsia walked up to the window, gazing outside as she smiled.

"If I say that, it might hinder his ways. Plus, he won't be able to look at the Alepsia of his timeline, like he would look at me."

"Makes you jealous of yourself, doesn't it?" Valencia kind of hit the spot there as she looked at Alepsia, who was a little sad.

She was already missing Adam, whom she probably could never see again.

Stay informed with m-vlemp-yr.

"But still. Because he will save his own timeline. Doesn't mean ours will get any better… we still need to work on our problems, you know?" Valencia reminded her that there were a lot of problems they had on their own.

They weren't exactly problem free enough to think about these things.

"It's fine," Alepsia spoke as she smiled, looking outside the window.

"What do you mean, it's fine? The problems haven't vanished, you know?" Valencia spoke as she looked at Alepsia but she answered,

"They are vanishing. All of it."

Though Valencia was confused, she understood as she looked outside the window. The sky was slowly being torn apart, and the houses were turning to dust. Everything was disintegrating.

"Who do you think Adam is? For the world itself to be destroyed in his absence… What do you think, Valencia?" Alepsia asked as she looked at Valencia, who had the same question as Alepsia.

"Alepsia, your hand!" Valencia noticed Alepsia's hand had started disintegrating as well. And so was Valencia's.

"It's better this way. I want to smile in these moments Valencia… don't you already know me enough? It's better than facing the problems that are to come to us." Alepsia had a positive attitude towards the entire situation.

And even though Valencia did not agree with Alepsia's thought process, she knew that there was nothing they could do either. So in the end, she simply stood by the window just like Alepsia was, looking at everything being disintegrated.

And smiling, she spoke.

"I love you, sister. You are the best sister that I could have asked for."

Alepsia put her head on Valencia's, as the world has mostly disintegrated in front of them. And slowly they, too, vanished from there. With a smile on their faces.

"Love you too, sister. Thank you for everything."
