I had transported back to our room… or what's left of it and set her back down in bed, when I tried to let go, she held on to my hand, "Please… don't leave."
'I never pegged her for a sleepwalker.' I kissed her cheek and eased my hand out of hers. I reversed the time in the area to before Velzard went on a rampage.
I stepped out of the room and leaned against the door, my body going limp against the door as I slumped down to the floor. I hid my head down into my legs aware that I shouldn't hide away from my problems.
I had heard a clatter sound beside me, I looked up to find a plate with a croissant next to me and Evelyn standing there looking down at me with pity and I flashed her a smile, "Hello mother."
She took a seat next to me, "Why don't you tell your dear mother why you're upset ?"
"Mother I love you but I'm not in the mood. Just be honest and tell me how much you've heard." I said to Evelyn with a smile.
"I heard… pretty much everything up until she destroyed the room." Evelyn looked at my slumped, tired form and couldn't help but show extreme worry.
"Now tell me how much Velzard told you while I was gone?" I asked investigating Evelyn for answers.
Evelyn: " Pretty much… everything."
Simon: "150 years, I have spent 150 years doing mind breaking shit. I have built an empire based on innovation and unity, reconceptualized the power system of the cosmos by creating an entirely new fundamental particle and permanently established myself as a major superpower. Despite becoming a literal god, I feel more powerless then ever."
Evelyn asked with a serene smile, " What are you gonna do about it? Mommy can't fix every problem for you afterall."
I sat there for a couple seconds thinking to myself, "I can't do it again, I can't leave her alone again."
Evelyn: "So you were thinking about it?"
Simon: "…Yeah, yeah I did but running away doesn't solve your problems and I can't leave her again. I can't leave her like that, especially considering that she's like that cause of me."
"So what are you gonna do about it… because I have never seen a more dysfunctional couple in my life and you really erased her memories, that's just terrible."
I began sounding exasperated, " Yes mother, I don't need the history lesson and a boyfriend lecture, and I did that to protect her."
"Yes I understand that part, my point is that good intentions don't always lead to good outcomes. You erased her memories and as a result, you took away something that gave her great meaning in life. And if I'm being honest, what you did was more selfish then selfless."
Simon: "The line between selfishness and altruism is very small but I understand what you're saying."
Evelyn spoke in a teasing voice, " So do you need Mommy to fix this or can you do it all by yourself?"
" Oh shut up… but I can do this myself, no need to worry about me."
" I will always worry about you sweetheart." She kissed the side of my head and got up to walk away, " Get some sleep, you look like shit."
" I guess that's fair." I said to myself after she left and then I made I silent declaration, " I will never you leave you alone again Velzard."
And just then, the frost covering the door had receded and moved to cover me. I could feel my particles slowing down and yet the frost… it felt so warm.

Guy was sitting on his throne when he felt a fluctuation within the palace, he moved towards it's location and found a certain man sitting down in a seat looking… homeless.
Guy: " Jeez Simon, have you been getting any sleep, you look like shit."
"Thank you so much for that motivational speech there Lucifer."
Guy looked at me with a knowing smile, "So… how was your first time buddy? Was it nice to finally lose your V-card?"
"Not in the mood for your comments and since when do you use that sort of Linguistics? V-card, really?" I complained to Guy who had a very teasing smile on her face.
"So what did you come here for?" Did you come back to tell me that you're gonna permanently take away the frost dragon for good?" Guy said in a combination of teasing and actual complaining.
" Are you actually letting me take Velzard away from here? Or was that just a tease as well?" Guy complained… again.
"Woah, I'd never thought that you would actually feel so attached to her. I always viewed you as this detached apathetic demon who views evens his own family as nothing but tools." I said to Guy with genuine surprise.
"Well, thanks to SOMEONE, I am overflowing with human emotions and flaws… you know like… irrational attachments. You bastard, if you're gonna take my friend away then please take away my emotions as well." Guy leaped at me and hung onto my collar with desperation.
"Ok calm down my fellow demon because this conundrum is exactly why I've come here to fix. I have a proposition for you…"
I explained to him my proposition which he took with much seriousness and when I finished what I was saying, Guy looked ecstatic.
But he cooled himself, " Ok then but I want something else."
Simon: " Fine, what do you want?"
Guy: " I want my memories back."
Simon: " Fuckin fine you whiny bitch."

Velzard was sleeping soundly, she had felt Simon's warmth but not his presence. His lack of presence had made her feel uneasy but his clear warmth had kept her asleep and unable to resolve that feeling of uneasiness.
But eventually she was able to wake herself up and try to figure out what was going on and she saw what the warmth was originating from, it was his bedsheets and blankets. She was sleeping in his bed in his original room in the frost palace.
She was so confused because this didn't feel like the frozen continent but this did feel like the frost palace.
She flew outside and saw that the blue sky covered by the blizzard was not there but instead was filled with stars and fog. The world that she was currently in was shifting in a very familiar way.
It had taken a second to process but she couldn't deny the fact that was Infront of her. The frost palace was now in Eden.
