《Crimson Moon》Ch 54 mysteries of Time and what he is really hiding

Yia POV
I patted the girl's head, Rea is now 5 years old. Her soul form is a cute girl with sapphire eyes and lavender hair.
"Can I go back to them. Please." (Rea)
"(Sigh) But there's nothing you can do. Your first daughter dislikes you. Your second daughter you threw her into that cave mouth where many other countries used to dispose of the unwanted. Seeing her from her is possible. Though as your teacher I have to teach you how to see people's fates. We fates can control fates but your a corrupt soul. You're to guard these gates and help guide those that come." (Yia)
"Why me." (Rea)
"Because your god Aist did this to you. He made you do those things and corrupted your soul beyond redemption." (Yia)
Rea looked at me in shock as I held her close to me when she said impossible.
"You see gods aren't supposed to do what he did nor try to control people's fates. Lilith helped your daughter Ember. She's no longer under that former god's control. She is now herself. You too should let go of her. They're in your past if you have unfinished business with them, then one day when they meet you here you can talk to them. But rules for you and the rest are strict. You can't reveal your identity to them." (Yia)
Rea nodded as I explained the rules for the doors to the next life to her.
"But you said you're going to teach me how to see fates. Though we that guard the doors can't control fates." (Rea)
"Yes I said that. I'm not lying. I'll teach you."
"Oh gods no! It's easier with me doing things. Sorry can't unseal myself but I can at least take control to do this." (Setsuna)
Without warning Setsuna had taken over my body. She was the one who knew better on how to get potential out. Her way of explaining was simple yet direct.
"Let's see I'll get you started first. Imagine yourself in the center of a place with water. Your floating above the waters." (Setsuna)
"What next." (Rea)
Wow she seemed very eager. Also Setsuna got her interest fast. But here's the thing bothering me how can no one tell it's not me sometimes. I mean her mannerisms and her elegant speech aura she uses. (Do know this is why she's called princess by her people though they don't have a monarch.)
"Imagine small ripples in the water's surface. Don't look inside those ripples yet. But feel them. No matter how big and small they all have a center. For this don't use your eyes but your senses to see it." (Setsuna)
Rea doesn't notice but Setsuna your at it again though I lectured you earlier for this. She's using hand gestures again, I'm just glad Rea has her eyes closed and is learning. It's just Setsuna is direct and strict.
"I see a mirror door." (Rea)
"Good. That is where all fates originate from. You can stop now for now. Doing more will cause you mental strain. Your just a beginner after all." (Setsuna)
She opens her eyes then blink at Setsuna inside my body. The only difference when Setsuna takes over is that my eyes are blindfolded underneath this mask. I don't want others to notice so I had to wear the mask. Too much explaining to do if I don't. It'd probably give me a headache.
Rea nodded at us.

"Your wearing a blindfold now." (Rea)
Just before Setsuna was sealed into me in the far off future for her. The god she killed had sealed her eyesight but the devil was the one that sealed her inside me. She had killed both but lost something important, her body and her eyesight.
"Since your my teacher why don't you show me your face." (Rea)
'This brat and her sweet words. Setsuna your not going to buy that right.' (Yia)
"Guess you do make sense. We mostly also wear the mask because we look like someone and the fates might make the connection between the two. But if you insist." (Setsuna)
I don't have a say in this do I. She removed our mask, Rea froze. See told you she'd do so. Our hair was no longer blue sapphire. Because when Setsuna takes over our hair color also changes. It was a light sea green color.
"Your no longer my teacher Yia. Who are you." (Rea)
"See she's smart." (Setsuna)
Wait don't just project me outside like this.
"Setsuna you idiot if your going to project me outside of my body so I can also talk to her give me some clothes."
"Who are you." (Rea)
"I guess the correct term is a sealed soul inside a Fate. Though I was the one to unlock her potential though she keeps saying something along the line I won't get married or no kids you hear me Setsuna. I did tell her to settle down. But she never listens saying she doesn't want kids to inherit her ability." (Setsuna)
"Why would she do that." (Rea)
"You see sometimes Fates can't by pass a lock to a certain part of someone's fate. But Yia can access that but the more she uses this ability the more harm she is done by using it. She can re experience the same fate that others can't look at. Though the cost is that her body is cut up deeper each time she uses and the pain she feels is differing. 1st time was just like how you feel when you get cuts by someone. On her 50th use she felt like someone was skinning her alive, the 80th use it felt like she was being burned alive. Not exactly something you want for your kids though the Fates said she should just train her kid to bare the pain." (Setsuna)
"That's just insane. Of course she wouldn't want........children.....but won't she be lonely for most of her life." (Rea)
"I got Setsuna so it doesn't matter." (Yia)
"Says the little girl I raised that calls me a demon." (Setsuna)
"Well aren't you. I mean you did kill the god and the devil of those ruling heaven and hell." (Yia)
"But it was because they caused the deaths of my sisters. If anyone was in my situation and they loved their family as much as I did, they find out they're left with no choice. Wouldn't they had done what I did. Killing those two bastards that deserves it. The devil threaten my 1st oldest sister Hima into fighting. Hina listens to any and all orders without questioning. Tell me wouldn't you be angered after all this." (Setsuna)
"I don't know." (Yia)
"If I was in the same situation as you I wouldn't stand for having my loved ones used." (Rea)
"See even the former elf gets it. That reminds me. There's a question bothering me when someone mentions Time. Where's the time keeper. She was inside the folds of time where time doesn't reach but can exist all at once. Yet she disappeared when I last ask you to check Yia. Why is the oldest being missing. What's the connection to Amaya and Ayame. Who are those girls inside the grimoires really. Why did they guard that unknown tower in the beginning of time. What made them into grimoires. The spell book is a former girl also as well as the other books. What made them into this. The bigger the mystery is. And Time isn't answering questions. The idiot is hiding more. Amaya wasn't supposed to be there with him. So what happened to the original timelines that the time keeper was protecting. She shouldn't even be missing, this mess started because Time said he doesn't know but I have a feeling the asshole is hiding more." (Setsuna)

"Ack don't ask me. But why do you keep having to remind me of these things." (Yia)
"Because our key is Manami the one Amaya is reincarnated into." (Setsuna)
"But if you poke your nose too much wouldn't he get angry." (Yia)
"Really but no one is asking the right questions. What happened to the time keeper? Why were all those girls, sisters guarding the tower of the beginnings now turned into grimoires? Why don't they remember why they were turned. Why is the 1st and 2nd eldest of those sisters missing and not grimoires. The spellcastor's grimoire is a 18 year girl at her time guarding the tower of beginnings her specialty is her weapons yet she ended up as a spell book. The poison master ends up as a necromancy grimoire. Don't you find these facts suspicious, so our key can be only one person. Manami she will unravel this for us. All we need is a clue to lead her. Time is hiding the tower from the grimoires. So what if we point Manami there." (Setsuna)
"Isn't that dangerous as teacher said that if Time is hiding it wouldn't it stay that way." (Rea)
"Then those fragment memory crystal you made me see was....what exactly." (Yia)
"Wrong term. Memory remnants of the original time lines that he tried to hide. The time keeper knows more, but Time isn't telling us what he did to her. Nor her whereabouts isn't this suspicious for even us." (Setsuna)
"Then the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th angel war we knew is different. Why did he want others to know the one currently is, but the one you and your sister were in was the same." (Yia)
"You mean you don't know why. So if we made Manami unravel it wouldn't Amaya remember more about what she is, since your also curious. Then it wouldn't be wrong for you to control Manami's fate to lead her to these since her fate is unpredictable even to time. He can't see everything about her cause of it." (Setsuna)
"Meaning we can use it to our advantage." (Rea)
"See even your student gets it." (Setsuna)
"Fine we're using my fate changing ability but don't say it's my fault if she meets something weird cause of that." (Yia)
I swirled my fingers in the air after imagining Manami and the strings tying to her. My body is sweating a lot since her fate was unpredictable. I slowly snapped a string to the right of her's careful to not break someone else who is tied to her since doing so would kill them. Then I link her string to the tower of beginnings. This tower was from the original timeline. Time was trying to hide it from others so this was the best I could do. Make her physically go there herself for answers. My hands were shaking once I was done, feeling physically and mentally drained. I collapsed onto the ground. Setsuna I'll leave my body in your hands for a bit. Seems I'm sleepy now.
Manami POV
I have a major headache, it's been 3 months and I brought Tear back to our group. But I had just woke up, yet I'm at the steps of a strange stair case. At the top of these long stairs I see a huge tower going into the sky unending. I clutched the necklace my mother gave me, I felt tears.
I remembered what I forgot mother had died and I was depressed before I fell into this world. This place felt like it was forgotten by time itself. Answers, yes they felt like this place could answer them.
"No don't go there." (Amaya)
It made me surprise I could hear her voice so clearly out loud without her calling me to our soul. As if she was in front of me. I took the steps slowly as I heard Amaya shouting at me to stop. Something is telling me there's something here she long forgot, that even Time isn't allowing us to find out. But just what is it. Everistel is always chasing me down yet Time doesn't do anything about it. My time replays to when I was in high school all over again when I die. Why is that?
"Time won't allow us here! He told me that when I was him. This is a bad place." (Amaya)
"You say that but it's calling us here. This air and the mist around this place makes me feel nostalgic. Why is that? What is time hiding from you? You say that your memories that you had the longest was with Time were they really? Then answer me this why does my heart tell me that you're lying to yourself! This place is the tower of the beginning of times isn't it. This was where something happened right. Time says that but do you really believe he wouldn't had the cruel truth that he doesn't wish for us to see. Because it might bring us pain. But isn't facing those pains and growing stronger what makes us human."
I can see Amaya isn't answering, I'm also a part of her soul. So I can see she's hesitating. These steps are too long. I used my vampire physical body to start sprinting until I was tired. I was breathing hard. I know this much this tower isn't inside that dungeon. It just can't be inside there.
My feet came to a stop before a gem next to the steps.
"No stop, that's a memory gem. It might alter your memory into who that person's who personality is and let you re experience what she or he felt and saw in all their memories. Please don't use it." (Amaya)
"But it might tell us why this tower is like this. Don't you agree Amaya."
"There has to be another way." (Amaya)
I shook my head, if this mist can help you manifest your voice to talk to me like this I know the answers. I'm going to use this to see what happened, I won't regret it. This I know even if I have my personality slightly altered afterwards I want to know.
