“You were never good at hiding yourself.  But I suppose you know that I’ve been to speak with your father and your brother. I guess you did not wish to be left out of the loop.” Khronos said not bothering to look up from the constantly changing algorithm on the screen.

There had been a long few moments and the other had not uttered a word, perhaps this was just part of the Sin’s game or it was something else. Continuing about his work, Khronos could sit there in the peace and quiet indefinitely if the other wished it.  The deafening silence continued for about a half an hour as the timekeeper was taking particular interest in a specific set of quickly converging timelines.  One of which was dim and growing brighter and the other was becoming dimmer by the moment.  Tapping the screen, a small informational window opened with several different counters either ticking up or down.  There was a section of notes he’d done in the past on this human that needed to be reviewed at this time.

Caroline Trudeau  born 11-16-85

Time in lifespan left:     02 Hours  25 Minutes  27 Seconds

The overlapping window read:

Kendel Trudeau  born 11-16-18

In Utero time left:     02 Hours  22 Minutes  40 Seconds

Total time in Earth (planet) years:  7351 Days 13 Hours  26 Minutes  27 Seconds

Cause of Death: Drunk Driver (**ADDENDUM** due to the subjects decisions this date may be changed.)

Age at time of death: 21 Earth years

“Hmm,” Khronos began with his chin resting on his hand while he continued to read the screen, “-how tragic. But you still have time to change your fate.”

The other timelines showed significantly different outcomes still involving the two or the mother making a different choice altogether causing Kendell’s line to be replaced with or omitted completely.  Information on the replacement timeline is as follows: 

Amy Trudeau  born 11-16-18

In Utero time left:     02 Hours  22 Minutes  40 Seconds

Total time in Earth (planet) years:  40624 Days 19 Hours  51 Minutes  33 Seconds

Cause of Death: Old Age  

Age at time of death: 112 Earth years

“I am curious though how you were able to get here without causing a serious amount of harm to yourself or to others; not that you are one to care about that.”

Feeling the other getting closer to him he closed the screen as that was not for the Sin’s eyes. 

What the hell kind of question was that? “If I didn’t want the answer, I wouldn’t be willing to ask the question,” He replied, jumping a bit at the other’s voice. He hadn’t expected him to come so soon. Deep brown eyes appraised him and his timeless vessel as his teeth worried his bottom lip for a moment. “I’d offer you a seat, but you know… I’m not sure you’re really here. You can sit if you’re able….”

Sasha watched the guardian of time from the corner, her tail flicking back and forth as she appraised his very presence. “I….” Jason started before he cleared his throat. “I know demons aren’t supposed to be able to have children, so explain that one to me. I shouldn’t even exist.”

Smiling at the seat remark, Khronos obliged the other and sat down.  With a bit of a faraway look in his eye, he began to speak, “The astral is a very quiet place you would be surprised.  Beings human, non, and even those so-called imaginary friends all meeting in was space.  Doing things that could never be expected.”

Yes, he got a bit wistful in places like that because of the origins of how all life, no matter where it was was linked.  Turning his eyes back to Jason, “I did not mean to give you a start. After our first interaction, I was curious if you would wish to speak with me again.”

The question was not as illogical as many believed, yet when you are the product sometimes the obvious don’t feel that it applies to you, “As mundane as it may seem Jason just as when humans desire for an offspring they set upon that course.  It’s not so different from those like yourself.  The desire often is replaced with the purpose of one’s mortality. Demons can be destroyed and Witches-well, they have found a number of different methods of death regardless of their intentions.”

Letting this sink in for a moment he watched Jason’s expression then brought up his hand holding his finger to signify number one.

“They, your parents can face a singular death regardless if it’s with a spell, an object, or a more powerful foe. But with you, it gets a little more complex the blood has been mingled.  What may have killed them may cause you only discomfort as you are stronger than they were to continue their work. In most cases, each generation is stronger than the last with a tiny something to allow them to continue where those before simply passed away.  But there are some that regressed, and far less inventive than the Homo erectus.”
