freosanYep, this happened.
Once, Wild and Kaos are drifting aimlessly through Neptune’s atmosphere, still wired from a sparring match. Kaos is always a little more open, less of the hardened warrior, at these times.
Kaos tells her that they once died together – the two of them, and Destiny, who hasn’t come back to them yet. Wild doesn’t remember it. She only remembers her time as a wolf.
Kaos has had a few lifetimes since then, and she tells Wild the story.
There was a tear, a break in this universe, she says. The kind of distortion that a black hole produces, with nothing at the center – true nothing, emptiness that shouldn’t be able to exist, she adds, and shudders when she says it. It had to be repaired, but it would take a great deal of power – three lives’ worth of power. The Lioness made the choice: Virgo, Aquarius, and Pisces did the honors. Together, they gave their memories up, and their powers with them.
“That is that star,” she says, and points upward, to a brilliant point of light just sunward of Orion. “Our lives.”
Wild contemplates the star. “Was is worth it?”
With no hesitation, Kaos answers, “Yes.”
Wild is unable to be so sure.
