《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 172

"So, now that we have control over the 6 totems, the question still remains, how do we use them to kill a demon?" Oliver asked as they all gathered in the bridge.
"We can't kill Mallus in his own domain." Nora said.
"So we have to bring him here to use the power of the totems to kill him." Laurel said.
"We can't seriously be contemplating letting a demon out of his cage. A cage that we have no idea what else might be trapped in there with him." Constantine protested.
"We don't have a choice. It's the only way we can kill him." Oliver said.
"Except even if we opened the door, he still wouldn't be able to come through." Constantine said.
"What do you mean?" Rip asked.
"A demon like Mallus needs a host. Without a host, he can't fully appear in this realm." Constantine said.
"Isn't there a way you could force him to come out of the prison without a host?" Oliver asked.
"Not likely mate. He's too powerful for my magic." Constantine asked.
"So, the only way to stop Mallus is to sacrifice someone here." Rip asked.
"Unfortunately so." Constantine said, causing all of them to be silent.
"I'll do it." Ronnie said.
"What?" Oliver asked.
"I'll be Mallus's host." Ronnie said.
"You don't know what you're signing up for mate. If you do this, you're making a deal with a demon, you will die." Constantine said.
"It's happened before and just like the last time I died, I'm doing it to help people. Besides, something tells me that this was what I was always meant to do." Ronnie said.
"Ronnie, are you sure you want to do this?" Oliver asked.

"I joined this team to save the world. I think this qualifies. Besides, I've never really fit in on this team or on team SuperFlash." Ronnie said.
"Are you sure about this Ronnie? Once you commit to this, there's no going back." Nora warned.
"I'm sure." Ronnie said.
"Ronnie, I don't even know how to begin to thank you for this." Oliver said.
"Tell Jasmine what I did for her to have a future again." Ronnie said.
"We'll make sure she knows." Laurel assured him.
"Thank you." Ronnie said.
"Alright bud, let's get a demon in you. I have to warn you, it won't be pleasant." Constantine said as Ronnie took a deep breath.
"Can I at least get a last meal first?" Ronnie asked and Oliver smiled slightly at that.
"You can have it here or we can go to the present, anywhere you want, it's on me." Oliver said.
"I think I'll have it here. We should also figure out a safe place to fight the demon." Ronnie said.
"He's right about that. We need to make sure that we don't create more problems. I still can't believe I'm agreeing to do this." Constantine said.
"I would've found a way to force you to do it anyways." Oliver said.
"I don't doubt that. Only reason I'm doing it now is so that I have the strength to help kill it later." Constantine said.
"Smart man." Laurel said, since she likely would've helped Oliver coerce Constantine, since while she was normally a very reasonable person, she was also a very overprotective mother and that outweighed her reasonable side.
"Let's go release a demon." Oliver said, really hoping that this worked.

What if second chances did exist? What if one had the chance to redo everything in a new life? Would you act the same? Be the same person? Would you be able to let go of the past and start living your new life to the fullest? Or would you revel in the lingering memories of the past, burning them into the deepest parts of your soul in order to never forget the things that have and could have been? Nobody knows the answer to those questions, for they are as impossible to answer as feeling what death is like. This is the story of one such second chance. Follow a mysterious old man on his second journey through the countless twists and turns of life.
