— Well, what are you doing? — Holy smoothed his unruly hair.
“Promise that you won’t agree!” She asked in a hot whisper, barely holding herself back from sending him somewhere far away.
-Roxanne! -The cold voice of Chronos left no doubts.

I turned around sharply. He looked away and I took a deep breath. It took fractions of a moment to open a teleport behind the werewolf. And then time stood still, frozen in a viscous resin. And I was left alone with the ruthless deity.
-Roxanne. -Chronos spoke to me the way one speaks to the mentally ill. Slowly and sympathetically. — Not worth it. It’s useless.
— Don’t tell him!!! — She screamed, painfully clenching her fingers into fists.
-I cant. And you can’t tell. he continued.
— Then give me time! A little. — I rambled. — I know it’s too dangerous now. But I’ll think of something. I’ll find another way! Chronos! I beg you!! Klaus can’t be trusted!!
— I don’t trust him. I believe the ancients. Soul, Roxana, it’s like a thousand suns. And the soul of a werewolf is a hundred times stronger. And if the sacrifice is voluntary… You understand! You are a witch! Who better than you to know about the sacrifice!
-Yes?! What if you?! How do you like that, Chronos?! You are a god!! Sacrifice yourself!! For the sake of the magic, for the sake of us all, for the sake of Miriam, after all!!” I yelled out, really wishing I could kill him.
-I cant. Chronos sighed. “I depend on magic, just like you!” And even if we figure out how to kill me, the sacrifice will not be voluntary. She will be forced !! Holy is the only one who is not threatened in any way! And you yourself know that everything is important in this matter !! Place, spell, mood, even thoughts!!
Oh yeah! I know everything about sacrifice! I’m a witch. I can. I know the right spells. I can. I even know the right places! For the harvest, for the weather, for pestilence and death! I even know how to step over the edge and come back and turn. I can even open a portal to hell!! You don’t need much. Just one suicide. By the way, a suicide and a voluntary victim is one and the same!!!! Furious thoughts swirled through my head. But the last, the last turned out to be too intrusive …
-Chronos!! “At first, I didn’t even realize what I was thinking. -I need time. Hour. Or half. It is very important!!!
I didn’t wait for him to agree. I already knew the answer. Disappeared before he could nod. You are stupid, Roxana. Even a witch.
All I needed was to test one small guess. The easiest way was to ask Klaus. But will he be sincere? So I went to the ancients. With one single main question. And a couple of dozen more.
