The Great One paced nervously around his office as he muttered, 'Where did I go wrong? I've planned everything to separate them, and yet tragedy always befell unto her, leading her to him! I've done everything to stop him, but I guess I only lead her to him...'

The fates appeared before him, wearing crestfallen faces.

"The Great One..."

"You were a great leader..."

"A great person..."

"You've managed to uphold the desires of the Creator..."

"But..."

"You cannot tamper with fate..."

"It was always meant to be..."

"No matter what you do..."

"No matter what you plan..."

"No matter how you plead and beg..."

"No matter how you resist..."

"It was always meant to be..."

"Now, you only brought your downfall with your actions..."

"Your time is almost up..."

"Good luck."

And they vanished.

"I love you, Damos."

"I love you too, Vera."

Their lips touched, and Vera felt sparks between them. All blood rushed to her face, as finally, she felt warmth, as if it was always meant to be. After a few moments they parted. Vera tried to follow his lips in search for more, but his finger stopped her.

"That's enough, Vera..." teased Damos. Vera pouted and huffed in irritation. She turned her back at him.

"Aw, Vera, don't be mad!" He hugged her from behind. "I know that you want more, even I do... But..."

"But?"

"We still have things to do. You still have things you want to do, remember?"

Vera remembered the hate and malice she felt once more. She turned her gaze towards Damos, who only smirked as he knew she remembered it.

"Now, that's what I'm talking about! We're starting it soon! Just you wait!"

'Soon, huh? I couldn't wait...' She closed her fist as she imagined what she would do. She let our a crazy, evil laugh.

'Soon, I'll have my revenge. And you better be prepared for it.'
