Chapter 16: Consequences

I wasn’t sure what happened to me, but one thing was clear – I was having a difficult time sorting out my recent memories on my own, instead relying on Miriam’s memory to catch me back up to date on everything that had happened in the last few hours.

Jericho had remained near Amelia, both of them extremely worried about my supposed outburst of anger. However, once I’d collected myself enough, I reached out to the angelic demon to reassure her that I was okay, and to have my sister go to Riley’s place now.

Of course, Amelia was reluctant, but eventually listened to her.

Jericho then flew close to where Miriam and I had landed, but kept her distance, waiting for us to unearth ourselves when we were ready.

Now that we had done so, and brushed ourselves off thoroughly by flying to the upper atmosphere and back at a ridiculous speed, we could finally discuss what the future version of my sister said, prior to me disappearing.

Obviously, it seemed like we were in a time loop, although it was very possible that it was only a loop for Amelia, which meant there was no stopping our impending doom. Yet, for some reason I had this nagging feeling that there was a future beyond whatever was coming. It was just that I wasn’t able to get to it for some reason, like there was something stopping me specifically from continuing on into the future past a certain point.

Granted, the vision I’d experienced previously left little hope for any of us. But trying to figure out the unknowns wasn’t possible, so instead we tried to focus on what we did know.

The most glaring fact being that something was different this time.

“Okay,” Miriam said with a heavy sigh. “So, possible explanations for why Jericho has never shown up before.” She grimaced, speaking as if she were talking to a crowd. “One, it’s possible that Ragnarok killed Jericho before Michael could save her. Two, it’s possible that Michael decided not to rescue her, or was unable to do so. Three, it’s possible Michael never went back to threaten him, and thus never learned that Jericho was in his custody. And four, it’s possible that Ragnarok never discovered that Jericho was associated with him.”

She paused as we all considered those options.

I cleared my throat after a minute. “It’s also possible this is the first time I’ve ever met Jericho,” I considered.

The person in question became more pensive, her icy eyes tight below her furrowed brow, her arms loosely crossed over her chest. “I’m not sure that’s the case,” she countered. “Everything that led to me spotting you seems pretty set-in-stone. Like Tamar and Hera celebrating the anniversary of their friendship, and my game with…” Her voice trailed off, being reminded of her deceased brother. It was tormenting her below the surface, but she’d been trying really hard to not think about it.

However, the devastating depression that felt like someone was crushing her chest still lingered whether she thought about it or not.
