Chapter 7 - 7. Riven

The cafe was not crowded at all.

He sure is taking his time.

I closed my eyes and smelled my coffee.

Shift.

Not again...

I wish i could pretend and keep my eyes closed.

"Riven~" a male voice called out, childish, playful and full of evil.

Tact.

I opened my eyes to see a humanoid with four golden eyes, pure black skin and grey hair wearing a jacket.

"where is he?" I cut to the chase

"you mean A.?" Tact asked with curiousness "did he call you here?"

I looked to see two, times, Tone who wore a flowy dress, covering her body and floating and Beat, who wasnt paying attention to us, who wore a simple white shirt and white pants.

I'm in some room, white walls all around me. A table in front of me, a cusion underneath.

I sighed.

Behind me someone appeared.

Finally.

"Riven," A voice layered with a thousand other voices "kill roosvelt"

"kill who?" I asked skeptic and confused.

"Roosvelt." Beat sighed " he escaped our realm a few centuries ago, he's an anomaly, a cursed time, he doesn't stick to one master, interferes in both realms, probably is the cause of your decay and is an asshole"

"he's the witch who decided he can have babies with humans?" I said with disgust "why now then? after all these years? why me?" I scoffed.

"why? because recently he discovered one of his children developed the ability to control death and it just so happens to be your life." A. chuckled like it was some bad joke.

I know fully well what he implied by controlling death, controlling time.

"If you want to save your life before you decay, its better if you dont let them meet and you should most definitly kill that old timer before he takes your place and your decaying anyways so its okay if you give up too" Tact said with a sarcastic tone and laughed.

 "so your dumping your responsibilities as peacekeeps onto me?" I countered "you seem to forget, Echo only sees death not control it." I placed my coffee cup firmly on the table.

A. just laughed " looks like you need to learn more about your life first"

There's no way...it's Echo we're talking about

"where is Roosvelt anyways" I asked the most important question.

"You'll know when you see him" A. smirked

I was beyond dumbfounded and angry

"why you-" 

Shift.

Damn you.
