Redrick (still shocked) asked Esther “what do you mean by we are all going to die?”.
“That is our fate. We are all destined to die in the hands of Marcelos even I. That is a certain future” said Esther.
Everyone was unhappy to hear that then Kinsley asked Esther “if we are all fate together and Marcelos is destined to win this war then why do we bother and continue fighting a war that we are destined to lose?”.
“Yes. Why do we?” Ryn asked Esther, and they all looked at Esther for an answer.
“Because even though we are destined to, I can not accept that. Just like I have said, all that is happening now is my doing. I made them all happen?” said Esther, looking at every one of them.
Everyone was confused to hear that then Kylie asked Esther “what do you mean by that?”.
“Indeed, I came back to help but that is not the main reason why I came back. I came back because I had set a possible future into motion and I am here to make sure everything that I have set into motion comes to pass” said Esther.
Everyone did not understand what Esther meant by what he said then Hemdal asked her “what are you talking about?”.
“I mean I am creating of future of mine” said Esther.
Everyone was shocked and confused to hear that. Noah said “a future of yours? How is that possible?”.
“Do you even have that kind of power?” Ryn asked Esther.
“I don't have that kind of power before but I do now. After seeing the certain future, I met with the late Sa’er and suggested a way mankind and every living thing could be safe and win this war, and they found my suggestion okay seeing it as the only hope we have got. Even though my power is great, it was not enough to make my plan and suggestion come to reality so they gave me part of the powers they thought I needed to make sure my plan and suggestion work out” said Esther.
“So you mean you are truly creating another future?” asked Tracy.
“Yes and no. It is possible future. A future that may become reality or not depending on the incidents and events that happened. The possible future can only become the real future if the events and incidents I had set into motion continue to happen. The possible future I set into motion began immediately I changed and added to the past, and it has begun to affect the future” said Esther.
“Began to affect the future as how?” Benjamin asked Esther.
“The attack at the town, Mike being marked by the Marcs’ sword, Ramsay being the master of the sword, and some other the other things” said Esther.
“So you mean you are the cause of everything that has happened for a while? You are the cause of the lives that were lost?” asked Kinsley.
“Yes, I am” said Esther.
Everyone was shocked to hear that then Camelia said to Eather “how could you do that? How come you do things that involve anyone dying” said Camelia angrily to Esther.
“Because that is the only thing I could do. You were all not there so you will not understand. I watched you all and everyone died in front of me and I was helpless to do anything. I watched everything burnt to the ground right in front of me. You have no idea how I felt watching the destruction of everything and could not do anything about it. If all must know I do not regret my action” said Esther.
“So you mean you are okay that you are the cause of death for some people?” Tracy asked Esther
“I never cause anyone death they were all destined to die before. Though changing the past brought their death quicker than it is expected, I don't think am the one who killed them. It seems you all don't know what we are all into and the sacrifice I had to make to make sure there is a possible future where mankind and other living things survive. I brought death to my father sooner than expected. I had to sacrifice him and everyone earlier so their death won't be in vain and we can survive and win against Marcelos. And if you just know, they were all okay with it when they heard what I did. They believe in us all to end Marcelos. So I won't say what I did is right or wrong but I did it so our home and world won't be a place full of our history and not us” said Esther, looking at every one of them.
Hearing what Esther made them all realize Esther made a hard decision to do what she did and she did it to save everyone and themselves. She sacrifices her father to make sure there is a future for mankind and other living things. Hawk said “Esther did what was right. It is something I would also do to save our world from Marcelos so we can continue to have a place to call home. If sacrificing some lives is what we have to do to save millions of lives then we should do it or there will be no one around when Marcelos wins”.
“Yes. I can even sacrifice Camelia so we can win this war against Marcelos” said Redrick, and everyone smiled while Camelia was shocked to hear his brother say that.
“Are you really going to do that?” Camelia asked Redrick.
“I was just joking. Since our parents are okay with sacrificing their lives to save us all, we should make sure we live up to their expectations” said Redrick.
“Wow. For the first time in a while, you said something reasonable” said Kylie to Redrick.
“Hey, I told you to always respect my love” said Esther to Kylie then said with a smile to Redrick “don't mind him, love”.
“Does this possible future involve every one of us here being alive in it?” Noah asked Esther.
“Even though I created with the possibility that Marcelos was defeated, I don't know how it is going to end or the more people that will be lost except events and incidents that will keep happening. I don't even know how Marcelos will be killed. Only one thing is sure that I know of, it is definitely a future where Marcelos seize to exist”.
“I think it is going to be a future where we win but lose a lot” said Hemdal.
“Yeah” said Esther with a sigh.
“Am sure your possible future killed me but I want to know how come I am back. And if your possible future made me the master of my father, so who was supposed to be its master?” Ramsay asked Esther.
“Noah was supposed to be the new master of the sword if I didn't create the possible future. But, I have seen what became of Noah and the sword in Noah's hands. The sword brought nothing but destruction which is one of the reasons I needed to change the certain future. I made you the new master of the sword because I have seen your potential which is why Marcelos wants you for himself. And you are only alive because a late great King agreed to lay down his soul so you can live” said Esther.
Everyone was shocked and confused to hear what Esther said then Ramsay said “I saw them all”.
“Who do you see?” Lilia asked Ramsay.
“I saw all the great Kings when I died and the sword touched my hand. Even, King Hope, father, and grandfather” said Ramsay.
“What did they say to you?” asked Camelia.
“They only welcomed me smiling except for a great King who shook hands with me saying he believed in me, and then I returned to life” said Ramsay.
“The possible future I create involves Ramsay dying but I couldn't watch someone that I have chosen to become the new master of the sword die or else the sword will have to choose itself just like it chose Noah at first and might choose wrong so I had to do what I thought was right. I met with the great Kings and had a chat with them then one of them decided to give his life in exchange for Ramsay's life. I linked his sword with that of Ramsay knowing Ramsay would be killed by Marcelos. So when Ramsay was killed the great King's soul died instead of Ramsay's dying” said Esther.
“You mind telling us why the sword brought nothing but destruction in the hands of Marcelos” said Ryn to Esther.
“It is not that the sword wasn't good in the hands of Noah but the death of you all which was witnessed by Noah brought out the rage in him making his magical powers and Dragon gene power fused with the sword’s power. Noah's rage to kill Marcelos made me blind that the fusion of the three powers is not something he can control and would make him lose balance. Noah attacked Marcelos with the three powers fused and his rage, and his rage blinded him to what was happening around him while he was using the three powers at the same time so he could kill Marcelos. Noah didn't know using the three powers at the same time carelessly was killing the soldiers he took battle and destroying a lot. In the end, Noah fails to kill Marcelos and his rage becomes the death of him, and many lives are lost and things are destroyed” said Esther.
Everyone was sad to hear that even Noah himself. Nelson said “it wasn't Noah's fault but I guess powers are a burden”.
“Aren’t you angry, brother?” Ramsay asked Noah, looking at Noah.
“About what?” Noah asked Ramsay, looking at Ramsay.
“Esther took what was rightfully yours from you and gave it to me” said Ramsay to Noah.
Everyone was surprised that Ramsay could ask Noah such a question except for Esther. Noah said to Ramay “don't you hear what Esther said? The sword only brought destruction to my hands, and I don't think Esther took what was mine from me but corrected an error made by nature and the sword”.
Everyone was confused by what Noah said except Esther who understood. Kylie asked Noah “what do you mean by that?”.
“According to our land, Ramay is next in line to be the great King but also we know the master of the sword can only be called the true great King. So there would have been confusion if I were to be the master of the sword and Ramsay is destined to be the next great King by birth. You will have to choose a side between both of us. Who to be loyal to. Esther said things right” said Noah.
Everyone reasoned what Noah said to be right then Hemdal said “Noah is right”.
“Does that mean am to be the next great King?” asked Ramsay.
“No. You are already the next great King which means whatever it is that feeling inside that makes you distance yourself from others or make you down, you have to put all that aside. You now have a world to rule and people to lead. You have a great responsibility and you need to stand up to it” said Esther to Ramsay, then said to everyone “we have a big role to play in defeating Marcelos. We all have to forget who we all are and the grudges. We look forward to who we will become and how to take back our world”.
“If you feel your responsibilities are too great for to handle you you can lean on us” said Noah to Ramsay.
“Yes. We will always be here for you just like we promise each other” said Kinsley to Ramsay.
“We will get through this together as a family” said Tracy to Ramsay, and Ramsay looked at everyone to see they were all in agreement.
“Am sorry for everything I might have done. Am so glad to have you all. Thank you all for everything” said Ramsay.
“You welcome” said Redrick.
“And in case you wake up and see your sword change its shape, it means it's accepted you as the new great King. You will also be seeing the great King from time to time and they will be teaching you their skill to make you stand out among us” said Esther to Ramsay.
“Okay. Can we all talk about tomorrow? What should be done now that Mike has been and that has made our location open” said Benjamin.
“Tomorrow we begin our journey in search of the light crystal and Mike will be coming with us to distract Marcelos’ attention toward us so the people and the towns will be safe” said Esther.
“But would it not be dangerous if Marcelos is on our tail while for the light crystal?” said Lilia.
“It is dangerous but that is the only way to keep Marcelos away from the people until we find a way to close the cut in Mike's chest. Some of us will have to separate so let's use the night to decide if we want to go on the dangerous or go with the people” said Esther.
“ That is okay. I think am feeling now that everything has been cleared” said Kinsley and left to get some sleep.
Even though everyone went to sleep, Noah and Ramsay didn't. They stayed behind to talk. Noah told Ramsay how their father died, all that their father told him before he died, and gave him the Dominion book that was told to give to him. Ramsay cried that he wasn't there at his father's last moment and how he behaved toward him when he was alive. Noah had to console Ramsay telling him their father understood.
Esther also didn't go to sleep and she sat alone from the others with Redrick who refused to sleep because Esther didn't want to sleep. Esther and Redrick had a conversation and Redrick asked Esther will she would ever accept his love if she hadn't created a possible future and if the possible future had nothing to do with her accepting his love. Esther told Redrick that none of what he asked had to do with why he accepted his love and told him the reason he accepted his love and will love him back is because he deserved it even though he might not know why he said he deserved it now. To fully assure Redrick that she will love him back and accept his love, Esther kissed Redrick and Redrick kissed her back, and then Esther rested her head on Redrick's shoulder. Redrick felt over-happy that he and Esther kissed, and that he would Shave something to proudly tell the others tomorrow which Esther knew but only smiled about it.
