"Twilight....I know I got rid of this...."
He mentally hit himself for being so dense. This was a reflection of his past deeds, the good he managed to do in his 36 years of life.
"Yeah, I used my wish to fuse twilight with the current realm."

"Ya...I'd say the same but it feels like hardly any time has gone by since...well...You know." She told him as she put her arms around Zane as well.
-
"I got him....I killed Vexen and made him suffer for your murder. I made sure it hurt as well....." He buried his head into Xion's shoulder, his sadness overwhelming him.
-
"Okay...come on now Zane. You're making us both look like fools here..." she told him jokingly as she too sobbed. "After all, I think there's one more person you have to meet before the cryptic guy starts his explanation."
-
He looked up and gave Xion a questioning look. "You can't mean...."

ITS ONLY BEEN TEN MINUTES AND I'M BEING ROPED INTO SOMETHING AFTER I DIE?! CAN'T A GUY CATCH A BREAK?! IM ON LIFE NUMBER FREAKING FIVE!" "I don't think this counts as an extra life dad..." Anne commented. "Am I speaking? Check. Am I breathing?! Sort of! It's hazy! ALL I KNOW IS, THINGS ARE STILL COMPLICATED! SO LIFE NUMBER FIVE!" "I'll settle at four and a half." Cyrus commented. "You have a lot of explaining to do young man!" Falk then let out as he pointed his finger at Cyrus.
-
"He uh....he kinda pulled my soul from my body right before I died."
-
"I got that part!" Falk said. "Anne explained it to me. But WHY?!" "Well, to begin with, I am not your son. Not entirely that is." Cyrus began.

Edited by Zane the 3rd: 9/18/2017 12:32:21 AM"Right, I knew this already. You're that time wraith from before."
-
"Wait, a time wraith? Like Jataque? There's more than one?" Falk asked Zane. "Well, clearly. Because this guy is one." Xion commented.
-
"This one showed up after I killed the last one. Thanked me for killing him."
-
"However I am afraid I have to admit something to you Zane." The wraith said. "I lied."
-
He raised his eyebrow in confusion. "Aaaand what did you lie about?"
-
"I...am not a time wraith. That was a guise, really." The figure told him. "In reality, I am the development of events beyond a person's control. The supernatural power behind it all. This may sound familiar to you, as it was something the late grandmaster of the nightingales told you." "Wait...you can't be saying..." Setsuna started. "I am, Setsuna. I am not a wraith. I, am Fate Incarnate."
-
"Sooo your basically a god? That's what you're telling me..."
-
"I do not create, really. So no I wouldn't classify myself as a god. Rather, I am more of a...maintainer, of things that are to happen." He explained. "That is as simple as I can put it." "Hold on, you've waited months to tell us this shit. Why, exactly?" Alex asked Fate. "It wasn't time to tell you. Plus, you seemed to be enjoying yourselves in your private paradises, I didn't wish to throw more onto your plates." "What? Private paradises? I was just put into a room! With cat posters and inspirational quotes!" Falk declared. "What? How is that not paradise?" Anne asked her father. He chuckled in response. Fate however maintained its attention on Zane. "So, now that you know Zane. You know also, that I am the source of your power. As the grandmaster told you when you were just a boy."
-
"So when Tywin offered to tell me more about my power, this was what he was talking about?"
-
"He knew of my existence, yes. As well as its connection to you." "Sorry about that Zane." Akira apologized. "When I was working with him, he wanted to know everything about you as well as the power." "Yes, but he also used the powers I gifted to you as the key to unlock his own inborn powers. If you had not been so quick to take your powers back from him, he could have been much more powerful."
-
"Don't sweet it Aki, and I figured he'd try to steal my power away for himself so I let him. Gave me an advantage and let me surprise him, get him out of his human form. Still never would have imagined he would turn into a giant wolf."
-
"It's sort of his shtick." Alex said. "He did the same thing when I fought him way back when. But never at the scale you fought him. He's powerful, and you're right. He'll take over the whole damned world if [i]we don't stop him."[/i]
-
"We? Unless I'm missing something you guys are still dead. Unless all of you are suddenly gonna do some resurrection magic and come back to like."
-
"OH MY GOD I SWEAR IF WE DO THAT I AM GOING TO JUST FIND THE KEY TO IMMORTALITY AND BE DONE WITH IT." Falk declared. "No, they will not be coming back to life." Fate told Zane with a smirk after Falk's reaction. "But...there is something else we can do. But first I must know something." Fate took a few steps forward towards Zane, and the group of warriors, family and friends stood around them. "Zane. You have saved the world numerous times now. But this time...this time will be the last. After this, it is over for you. In order to defeat Tywin, your connection with me must be severed and you must achieve the highest point of your power... Before it fades, and you will never see it again. I ask of you Zane to make an incredible choice. You can go back to where you were, survive Tywin but never defeat him, and live out the rest of your days as you wish. Or.... You achieve your highest potential. Your destiny. You will defeat Tywin, but then your powers will fade and return to me forever. The choice is yours."
-
"That's it? That's an easy choice...." He let out a laugh and smirked. "I'm really wanted to retire, and now I have my chance. I choose to separate with the powers of fate."

Edited by Inflatablepants: 9/19/2017 12:53:39 AMFate laughed as well, shaking his head. "Haha. Yes, indeed. It was ridiculous of me thinking that such a selfless act would come unnaturally to you." He let out a breath before he raised his hand up. An orb of purple, white and blue energy all began to course together in his hand. "Now Zane, its time to finish this." As he spoke, he orb shot into Zane, and he felt power like he had never felt before course through his veins as his vision went bright. And, the last thing he heard was Alex. "HELL YA!" Alex yelled. "This shit is gunna get WILD!!!" [spoiler]end of chapter![/spoiler]
