I will not die a Villainess's death

Head Priest Yohan woke up with a headache the size of this earth. But it was better than never waking up again. And he was also thankful when he was faced with one person he always wanted to see after waking up.

"I want to say that I am happy to see you again, but that doesn't feel like the truth at all. Still, as a daughter whom you raised, I wanted to ask you how you were."

Eve's face was the last thing Head Preist Yohan expected to see when he woke up. But it was a welcoming surprise none-the-less.

"Eve, what are you doing? Why am I here? And why can I not move?"

Head Preist Yohan tried to move his body but his energy was being sipped out of his body. The more he tried to move, the less he was able to.

Eve's eyes held a sorrowful look inside them and she even seemed to be begging for forgiveness with her look. But there was no pity in her self for this man.

"I just wanted to talk to you before you were sacrificed. I just thought something would change inside him if I saw you before you died. But I guess we must have drifted apart if all I can feel is an empty sorrow after seeing you again."

Eve might as well be talking to herself at this point. The Head Preist had no idea what was going through her mind currently.

"E-Eve, are you joking? What is going on here? And how did I get here? Eve, answer me right now."

Head Preist Yohan asked as his body began to sink more and more into the small pool he had been held in. it was his fault for not even noticing it before.

He tried to reach out to Eve since he had no idea what was going on. He was not even sure why he was being sacrificed for.

"I am sorry but I decided that Elysia is much more important to me than you are. In the end, that is what made the difference for me. Please don't fight this sinking feeling for my sake. You love me, right?"

Every word was being forced out of Eve's mouth and it hurt to speak. It felt like she was dying every time she opened her mouth. But she still knew it was important for her to speak up.

Head Preist Yohan looked confused as he heard Eve's words. He had no idea who 'Elysia' was or how she was connected to what was going on. He just wanted to be pulled out of here.

'NO, I cannot die here. I still have the destiny to fulfill. The prophecy needs to be fulfilled if I want to see my sister again. I cannot die here.'

"Eve, please don't do this. You should understand that whatever I did was for your sake. Surely you can forgive me?"

Head Preist Yohan was sure his words would be able to sway Eve's heat. This child had always been soft-hearted and someone who looked up to him. Surely she would not abandon him like this.

But it became pretty evident that it was his wishful thinking that was making him think that Eve was not even swayed a little bit after he was finished speaking.

"Save your words for someone who cares. You always say that you do things for my sake but it was always for your own sake. I am sorry but this is just how things boiled down to."

Eve's heart cried out as Head Preist Yohan finally went under the pool. The Mirror of Isis on the other side absorbed his magic and it was not a pretty end for anyone involved.

It was the most pathetic end the Head Priest could have gotten but it felt deserved for some reason. And the tears flowing down Eve's face would not end.

"Eve, it's time for us to head out. You can stay back if you don't feel up to it."

Adam, who had watched all this happen, finally put his hands on Eve's shoulder. He was trying to console her but she snapped out of it pretty fast. She had a person to save after all.

"No, there is no need for me to cry about split milk. Not until I save Elysia at least. I am sure I can hold on for that long."

Eve was sure it would continue to hurt for a long time but she was willing to take this risk for herself and her future.

"Well said. Now then, let's go out and bring our wife back."

Eve's face broke out into a small smile when she heard Adam's words. She was ready to leave her past behind now.

​ "Of course, we will bring her back. After all, Elysia deserved to be at our side, right?"

////////////////////////////////

"So, the roles had been decided. Lexus and Serina would keep the portal open for you two to go in and fetch Elysia back. Noctis will be the one to stabilize the internal structure and Sorias will stabilize the external structure. And Lord Dirac will be the emotional support we all need."

Lucas Dirac had the sourest look on his face imaginable. He had wanted to head after Elysia as well but it had been vetoed.

He was not well enough to go in and he also had a kid to look after. They would not be able to look at Elysia again if they did not take care of her kid for her.

"Good luck out there. And remember, come back alive no matter what. We can't afford to lose anyone else out there."

Eve and Adam nodded. Everyone else also knew what they had to do to keep this portal going. It was going to be their last chance to get Elysia back.

"Don't worry, it will be alright. We will make sure we get not only Elysia back but also keep this world alive."

It was a huge risk everyone was talking about. They were not only changing destiny but also the fate of every other world involved. And this time, there was no room for failure.

"Go out there and knock everyone down a peg. We are counting on you."

With those finally words from Enma, the pair finally left the scene.

Everyone else got ready to perform their roles but it was pretty evident early on that their power would not be enough. This portal was draining enough that everyone else was feeling the burden.

"At this rate, we won't be able to keep it going."

Lexus commented as he pushed whatever power he had back into maintaining this connection. But when everything else seemed to be lost, an unexpected party stepped ahead to help out.

Emma White, out of everyone joined in to keep the portal stable.

"Emma, what are you doing? You will lose your magic if you interfere with this portal."

Enma was surprised to see the selfish person step up for the sacrifice. It seemed like such an impossible thing for him to see.

"I know what I am doing but I feel like this is the only way I can make up for what I did wrong to Elysia. So let me do this."

One seemed to know what she was talking about but no one chose to contradict her words. After all, they needed her and her magic to make this portal work.

In the end, Emma White turned out to be the saving grace of everything. And it was also because of her that the portal remained stable and the people outside did not collapse.

But that was the only help the outsiders got. Inside was a different story and the white space around Adam and Eve was beginning to get distorted.

They both sensed the familiar magic and they knew it was where Elysia was. They both hurried up toward her, only to reach what looked like the final battle between Elysia and Axia.

Both sides did not seem like they were ready to give up and it was not a battle that could be interfered with.

And above the pair's head, a clock was ticking down with a person inside. The person was pure white from head to toe but they looked incredible weak.

"Stop getting in my way. If not for you, everything could have gone so much smoother. I knew I should have killed you the first chance I got."

Axia cried out as he prepared for his final move. Elysia looked like she was ready to take it on but she was not confident.

"Eve, remember what we talked about before?"

"Of course I do. It seems like the time for the ultimate sacrifice is finally here. I wonder what kind of look Elysia will have once she sees what is happening I don't her to be heart broken."

The pair looked on as memories rushed in their mind about the time they had forgotten. But it was too late for regrets since the blood magic had been activated, causing the other two to look toward them with horrified faces.
