No. I was just wrong. There wasn't a need for winners or losers in this game at all. I didn't need to forget about them. I just needed to learn. Learn about how horrible I was Learn how all the pieces fit to become the puzzle Learn that maybe it was never meant to be this way. I think I understand it, now. I was stubborn. I was prideful. But most of all I was selfish. And I realize that now. "αη∂ ιт σηℓу тσσк уσυ α уєαя. qυιтє тнє sℓσω ℓєαяηєя αяєη'т уσυ?" Of course I am. I know I may not have all the time in the world but I fully intend to use what I do have well and not waste it all on these pointless games. So how about a draw? "α тяυ¢є?" Exactly. "ιηтєяєsтιηg ρяσρσsαℓ." We both know this isn't getting anywhere We're just going madder by the minute So how about this, For an entire year, neither of us will strike a blow on each other. Neither friends nor foes, Not allies, not enemies, Just existing together without any more conflict. Would that be possible? "νєяу ωєℓℓ, ι ωιℓℓ α¢¢єρт. мαттєя σƒ ƒα¢т, ℓєт's тσαsт ση ιт. ƒσя αη єηтιяє уєαя тнє gαмє ωιℓℓ вє αт α sтαтє σƒ sтιℓℓηєss, αη∂ ησ мσνєs ωιℓℓ вє ρℓαує∂ ву єιтнєя σƒ υs." "тσ тσ α ηєω уєαя." To a new year. ○✦○ *press space to switch between them* This was kind of a continuation from a project I made like about a year ago called Time's Game (I unshared it for a while but it's back up again at @TweetyBurd ). Looking back now it's like REALLY cringy (it literally looked like my 9 year old glmm-watching, watpad [intentional misspelling, scratch doesn't like it]-reading, nightcore listening self probably made it) but I remember it meant a lot to me at the time so I decided to continue it. Also, I'm trying to work more on my current story WIPs and these two (Chronos and Mercy) are part of one of them and I thought this would be a pretty cool scene to draw. **Important disclaimer: That is pomegranate juice in the very fancy cup that Chronos has and Mercy has a virgin piña colada** ○✦○ Song- Hourglass by Set It Off Text Generator- @HopesNDreams Zoom in code- Part 1 ig??-
