--------------------Elise POV------------------

So, in the end I died in a peaceful way huh? Never would I have imagined that; I always thought that I would die during one of my missions, alone in a ditch, or even because someone more skilled or prepared than me came to take revenge.

My fate was really funny, my last day was the strangest I had ever lived, since my meeting with that girl until my death at the hands of that surgeon, I would call it the best day I lived... strange indeed.

Talking about my death, it was really a selfish one. By dying that way, how many people died as a consequence? But what could I do? I never had a choice, only orders and no one to support me... and when I found that person, I asked him to kill me.

Would things have been different had I asked him for help?

-Indeed child, things would have been different, what you didn't understand in your life was that you always had an option-.

Which option? I never found anything like that in my life, I couldn't even choose to kill myself.

-That's where you're wrong, Though they gave you orders, you could always put yourself in danger, that was one option; when fighting to death, even small errors could have killed you, but you always fought at your best, that was another option; you were too afraid to die to choose them-.

Did I really? I don't know, maybe you're right, but is it really my fault? Was it really too much to hope for something, someone different?

-Child, that was your last option, when you finally found the person who gave you courage, who could understand and help you, you asked him to kill you; two people made one for another, fated to stay together or alone for all their life got separated because one of them wasn't strong enough to ask for help-.

So he really was serious; though I could feel it, I didn't dare to be sure, I didn't wish to be betrayed again and feel the same pain a second time. If I could make a wish, it would be to meet him again...

-There will be that possibility child, but this time you will not be able to choose, now sleep, for we are waiting for all the actors to gather-.

--------------------Julia POV------------------

The day I died was the day I felt the most alive in my life. Because of this, I felt a slight regret while dying in my brother's arms, but even with that, I would do it again to give him the possibility to survive, together with the greatest grief in his life.

-Even though he will die in a month?-.

He will die in a month? It seems I gave him less time than I thought, but even so I would still do it. I fail to even consider my brother not seeing death coming his way, so if he really will die, it will be after completing everything he set his mind on.

My brother was always like that, if something didn't interest him anymore, he would simply let it go and not bother with it anymore.

Once, I tried using my vision to see what would have happened had I made troubles for him; the result left me pleasantly surprised: he would always find me and forgive me; even when the troubles got veeeery out of hands, he would settle them for me and take me home... though then he would punish me, so I never made troubles, *tehee*.

It's also because of that that I made my choice; while we were alive, I also tried to set up my brother with different girls, but it never worked. It seemed as if my brother was destined to be alone, not even a ripple was present in any of his relationships, they would all fail no matter what.

The strange thing was, when I saw the armageddon, I immediately thought: I'm sure my brother would fall for her. Strange indeed.

-hehe, you don't know how spot on you were, but now it's not the time, for now sleep my child, for in a month you will have to make a choice-.

-----------------------1 month later, Fate Goddes POV-----------------------

In the pool under me, a man is preparing the final parts of his plan, and after this the boy is going to die; I should wake up the girls, their destinies will be tied together, so let's have talk with both of them together.

With a wave of my hand, the two souls change shape from a simple ball to two young women, since they're stark naked on the floor, I cover them with a blanket each while they wake up.

-It's time to wake up- I said to the two souls and I see two very interesting reactions: one of the girl immediately jumps into a combat pose, apparently undisturbed from being naked, while the other just turns the other way while saying -another five minutes...-.

The reaction of the first girl when she sees the second one is hilarious; in the beginning she was at a loss for words with her mouth open, then she must have remembered what happened and started to look around her, after a minute she finally looked to me... during all of this the other girl went back to sleep.

Two diametrically opposed reactions... I think I found my new pastime for the coming century.

I clapped my hands, which produced the same sound of the sleeping girl's alarm clock... her brother bought her an extremely powerful one, which he then modified to be near indestructible without guns.

The girl immediately jumps in fright, while looking around her... still you can see that she does not register where she is; how was her brother able to wake her up every morning? I waited another minute then I started: -now that you two woke up, it's time to enjoy a show-.

As I said it, the pool in which the young man is shown appeared, it seems he's going to press the switch any minute now.

Like that, I looked at the girls: -As you may have understood, you both died, and the young man in the pool is going to come here soon if nothing is done, what I wanted to talk with you is: do the two of you want to save him?-.

The two girls looked each other, then they both said: -I do-.

-Woah, stop there for a second, I have not yet told you the price and you both have already given me a reply? In order to save him, you both need to give up karma-, then I pointed to the first girl: -Your karma is already very low, by lowering it more than that, you would directly go to the deepest part of Hell-.

After that I pointed the second girl: -and you, while you have enough karma to live a life of happiness as a princess, you would have to give up in it, you will be reborn as a village girl in another world, exposed to every kind of danger-.

Once beings become souls, the fate rule doesn't affect them anymore, so I don't know what their answer will be; this is a test to see if they're worthy of my help: -think fast, he's going to die anytime now-.

--------------------Julia POV------------------

Is there even a need to think about it? I don't know why the reason for the armageddon is here with me, but it seems I don't have time, I only hope she will help my brother: -I'm sure, take anything you need from me-.

-Are you really sure? The life of a village girl in a world of swords and magic is not an easy one, anything could happen- the little girl said it while looking at me... I have the impression she's glancing at my soul.

-I'm sure-.

--------------------Elise POV------------------

I still can't understand why I'm here, but as I looked down in the pool, a sense of longing swelled up within me, the little girl in front of me offered me the possibility to save him, but I will be damned as a result. Will I regret my choice again? -Lower my karma-.

-Are you really sure? The place you're going to will torture you for all eternity, the deeper you go, the worse it is; this will change your destination from the 5th layer to the 9th one- said the child in front of me.

-I'm sure, while I was sleeping, I had only one dream, and it was of me together with him, of what could have been... I will not regret it again-.

---------------------- Fate Goddess POV-----------------------

So these two really made up their minds... sadly nothing can save him, nor does he want to be saved. In the pool behind me the boy is near the place where he buried his sister, what a sad expression.

I can see the look of worry in their faces as they plead with their eyes to me, but this is something they must see, because it will influence their lifes.

The clone kills the boy without a shred of hesitation, while the two girls start to cry: -this is how it will begin, the trust you both put in this man, I will make sure he's worthy of it-.

As I said it, a curtain covers the two girl, they will be able to see and hear everything, but the boy will not be able to. Boy, let me see a good ending to this show, or should I say, a good beginning.
