The sound of jingling filled Soul’s ears and he sat up with a groan, the jingle came again and he squinted against the bright sun. He looked around, a forest, a staff sat against a tree, a hat dangling from it. One with intricate designs and decor, Soul stared.
He was in Ren’s body.
“Welcome back.” male. Ren.
“i-...Ren?”
A soft chuckle echoed in his mind. “Never thought we’d end up fused again, but here we are…come to save the future?” he questioned, Soul sighed and placed the hat on his head.
“Something like that”
Soul could feel Ren smiling.
Ren knew he would come back.
“Do you know where we are?” Soul asked, Ren hummed lightly.
“The beginning. You, Void and Endorria would just be arriving.” he explained, Soul nodded.
“Are you going to kill her?”
Soul sighed as he started walking.
“That's the idea…”

It was mostly silent as they walked towards the village, clenching and unclenching his fists, a bow woven with beautiful wood materialized.
Ren didn’t say anything.
He heard laughter and spotted Void and Alex laying on the ground, Endorria had teleported to hover over them. “Come On guys!” she whined, it was almost surreal. And then, Soul felt a dread wash over him. They did have good times…she wasn’t all bad.
But she was.
Soul scowled and Ren sighed.
“If you don’t think you can do it, then don't.” he spoke, it wasn’t echoey. He looked beside him to see Ren standing there. They were no longer fused.
Soul frowned as Memories rushed back. Good and bad. Theorium falls memories…Pllorian memories. When soul came to he looked to Ren who had vanished.
He frowned.
“Guess I'm on my own '' he muttered, he’d have to follow them and hope to kill Endorria at a time that wasn’t suspicious.
He also had to avoid himself.

It was mostly silent minus the chirping from birds and bunnies hopping around as he walked, his boots shuffled against the blades of soft grass. A Butterfly crossed his path before shimmering and turning into Ren who grinned and joined his side. 91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf3BDn3gLN
“Having second thoughts?” he questioned, Soul raised an eyebrow.
“What?”
“You haven’t killed her yet” he stated, Soul sighed and fidgeted with the strings on his waist cincher.
“I can’t be suspicious about it…i have to plan it out…” he mumbled, Ren sighed.
“You are the worst hero i’ve ever met.” he groaned, Soul rolled his eyes.
“I’m the villain not the hero, Ren.” he snapped, Ren eyed him with peaked curiosity.
“I don’t understand…Endorria’s the villain not you”
Soul scowled.
“Yeah well, you haven’t been around since you sold our body to her. I’ve done bad things since then. And of my own will..” he explained sourly, Ren blinked.
“Seriously? The hell did you do?” he questioned, Soul chuckled lightly.
“Killed a few thousand people.”
It went silent as they walked.
“Damn.”
Soul shrugged.
“So…did you go to prison?”
Soul didn’t answer at first, “something like that” he mumbled.
Ren sighed.
“I’m sorry for ditching you like that..i just assumed you deserved better…” he mumbled, Soul scoffed and turned on his heel to him.
“You erased my memories, you asshole. Don’t you think i’d want those to survive?” he hissed, Ren stared aghast. “Don’t you think i’d want to remember my mistakes and how i learned from them? To remember my friends and enemies? And…lovers.” he stopped and Ren frowned.
“I just thought you wouldn’t need them, i expected Endorria not to do anything. I trusted her…” he explained, Soul grabbed him by the collar and jabbed a finger into his chest.
“Trusted her? Did you fucking sleep with her?”
It went silent and Soul’s eyes widened, he backed away slowly and let go of Ren’s shirt.
“I can’t trust you.” he muttered, Ren stared.
“You’re right…” he sighed, he went to open his mouth again before the words were choked and gurgled.
Soul glared dangerously at Ren who had grabbed his throat, a narrow arrow potruding from his throat.
“I don’t want to hear your fucking excuses.” he snapped. Ren didn’t say anything, because he couldn’t and fell to his knees before painfully face planting into the dirt.
Soul stuck around for a moment, watching the blood stain the grass. The arrow had snapped so he had no use for it, he kicked Ren’s side to push him onto his back.
Ren was never apart of him. He lied about being his shadow, lie about loving him. Now he remembered, the ring he always saw on Ren’s ring finger.
He was married to Endorria, Endorria knew their future and had Ren send him there. Thats why he was so obsessed with the portal.
Soul’s fists clenched and he scowled.
He turned and stalked down the hill, fuck being discreet. He wanted them both dead.
It was starting to get dark as he neared rising smoke, They had stopped for the night. Thats when Ren appeared again but in Alex’s body.
Soul crouched and snuck behind the trees, lurking as he watched. Endorria was placing food on the fire while Alex strummed his guitar, Void dancing elegantly to it as they laughed and shared jokes. Good times…but it was all a manipulation.
Her only goal before they ever gotten there was to get that orb.
Soul loosed his bow and aimed it towards Endorria who had tossed Void a silk fabric to dance with, Void had always shocked him with how graceful and elegnat he was when he danced, especially with such large wings.
Endorria smiled and for a moment, it looked genuine.
Soul shook his head and silently moved around to crouch lower, he wasn’t sure where to aim. Obviously a vital point. She was mortal now, but when they get to Theorium she’s not.
He decided on her one weak spot, luring her to the water.
He whistled low and soft, she turned looking around. Void and Alex hadn’t heard, as she made her way towards the forest he did it again running deeper into the forest.
He slid to a stop and curved around a tree to avoid the cliff that dropped straight into the water. The slowly exited and looked around cruiously before Soul aimed and let go of the arrow, it shot forwards. A prank shot, she dodged it locking eyes with him. They widened before she slipped and fell.
He ran over and smirked, she screamed and he glared loosing another arrow. Footsteps sounded through the crunchy fall leaves and his heart quickened. Don’ t let him see you.
He aimed and shot, and it went silent.
Silent except for the footsteps. He didn’t have anywhere to go, so…he jumped.
He jumped and fell like any normal person, he clenched his eyes. A searing pain hit his spine, the wind? No.
Charred wings split from his shoulder blades, he spun slightly as he tried to control them. Unfortunately, he couldn’t fly. His breath caught and he braced himself, his arms over his face.
The water below him swirled into a whirpool, Endorria’s body washed up on the shore. His body hit he water before he was sucked into the vortex. And spat back out into the stronghold.
He froze.
It sent him back. His job was done.
Quackity and Wilbur had left though…
He looked around, his horse was gone.
It was eerily silent and he ran out of the stronghold as best he could, he was stuck as Alex now. The clothes and hair and the memories.

He slammed the door open to the Apartment open and Quackity froze in place, a sword lifted to Soul’s chin. It went quiet and Quackity’s eyes widened.
The room was almost bare, was he leaving?
How long had he been gone?
Quackity didn’t say anything, just dropped the sword and pulled Soul into a tight hug.
Soul responded and hugged him back, Quackity’s familiar hands brushed Soul’s wings and he smiled gently. Soul was back with him. He was back.
“It’s been three years you know…” he muttered into Soul’s ear.
Soul chuckled lightly and kissed Quackity roughly. “I don’t care, i’m back now…” he reassured, Quackity smiled brightly.
“Q, what was that sound are you okay-?”
Soul pulled from Quackity’s grasp to meet eyes with WIlbur, Wil’s stuble framed his jawline making him look older yet still attractive. He’d ditched the leather coat and was wearing a button up similar to Quackity’s now red one.
“Soul…”
Soul smiled gently undoing his annoying robes and tossing them aside so he was only in a light blue tunic and bunched up trousers a corset around his waist with waves embroided into it.
His hair fell into strands around him, colors of the sea.
Quackity placed his red sunglasses above his hair and WIlbur slowly made his way to Soul, carressing his face Soul smiled.
“Sorry i dissappeared.” he apologized, Wilbur shook hsi head and kissed Soul’s forehead.
“We thought you died…”
“We buried you…” Quackity said solemnly as he joined the embrace.
Soul chuckled lightly.
“Now thats ironic.” Quackity and Wilbur rolled their eyes and pulled each other into a group hug.
A black void opened and Void stepped out swiftly, with no hesitation he grabbed Soul and yanked him into a hug.
“Asshat.”
“Been a while” Soul teased, Void glared. He looked different.
“I missed you.”
A good different…
“I missed you too…”
