A sword materialised in my hand, my sword that was bound to my soul. A dark aura emanated from its blade, an aura of evil. I looked around one last time and took one long, deep breath. I had to end this time loop, for the sake of Darian who soon would be trapped her and the souls that should have died long ago. I had to use both hands to lift Retribution and pressed the blade against the mummy's chest.
“Purge this holy creature and may darkness reign once again. Cursed art: Soul cleave.”
A huge flame of black fire traveled down the blade and with a swoosh disintegrated the mummified angel into dust. Behind me I heard the sound of bones cracking and when I looked down at the skeletons they were now just one scattered pile of bones. The souls that held them together finally having moved on. But ending a time loop didn’t just affect the living, it also included the buildings. I heard a rumble and felt the ground beneath me begin to shake. The Temple was about to collapse and in tandem, the entire village. With a wave of my hand Retribution vanished and I booked it back to the hostel. The streets behind me began to crack open and hot lava spilled through the openings. I ran faster than I ever have in my life and scrambled into the hostel, bursting into the room and madly shaking Darian.

“GET UP! WE NEED TO LEAVE, NOW!” I screamed.
The rumbling grew louder and that seemed to get his attention. “What sound is that?” He asked, looking around.
“No matter, let’s go. NOW!”
