Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Over the coming days, I thought about what I was going to do now since I became the lord of Nessus. Would I live the rest of my life there as king? Or perhaps I'd just try to live my life normally... No. Demons would constantly be after me and my title, and after all that's happened, I can't put my friends in danger. Gah! If only I could go back in time! Wait... "I've got it! R.C. can help me!" I opened a rift to Gaia and lept through.

I arrived in south Aekea and wandered around until I found my friend Red Cloud's house. I knocked on the metal door and a gutteral growl came from beyond it. I snarled back, and the door clicked and swung open, letting out a wave of hot air. R.C. was sitting in a leather armchair reading a book, and didn't even look up as he said, "Nice of you to drop by, my lord."
"Ah, right. How did you hear about that?" I asked.
"Mom's a succubus. You remember." he replied, tapping one of the small horns growing above his eyebrows. "Well," I said, "I came here because I have a huge favor to ask you. You told me once that you used to time-travel."
"Yes."
"I need to go back in time six months so I can kill Nefilhame before he sends out his armies to conquer the Multiverse." R.C. set down his book and looked at me. "You know there are ramifications to time-travel. You'll age faster, shortening your lifespan. It's also against your religion, is it not?"
"I know, but at this point, I don't care." For moments, I simply stared into his amber eyes, and he finally sighed and said, "Very well. I'll teach you."
