The Devil's Hourglass
Prologue
Time is a strange thing. It flows without cause, and is neither living, nor dying. There is no fixed point when it started; it's just always been there and it will never vanish. Because time is an eternal thing; it is part of this universe and is etched into the very earth.
There are those who have been blessed with the power to manipulate time; to slow it down or stop it for a few seconds. But they do not have the power to control time, not truly.
Legend speaks of an hourglass; the very essence of time its self, which can send someone back to any past point in their lives. But this is a chance that will be given to one person in the entire existence of time, and it will be given to the one who has truly lost everything.
If you were given this chance, would you go back? Could you go back? Would you travel to the past to save someone from dying, maybe? Or would you go back for your own greed? Such as redoing the lottery so you could win the jackpot prize.
But could you go back? Could you go back, knowing that if you did something wrong in the past it could jeopardize the lives of many people in the future? Could you go back, knowing that if you were going to save someone from dying that they could possibly die later on in their life, and that you may have sacrificed the lives of many just for your own gain?
It is a difficult choice to make, but there are good sides too, such as saving a life. Maybe by saving that life, you have saved the lives of others too. Maybe by saving that life, you have prevented a world crisis. Or, if you went back to redo the something like the lottery, you may have given
some of that money to charity.
But, since the chance to go back will only be given to the one who has lost everything, only they will get the chance...

This is the Prologue of one of my Devil May Cry fics on FanFiction.Net. The next chapter is a whole lot better, trust me.

I rather like it so far, actually. C:
If I may just point out a typo, though: "It is a difficult choice to make, but there are good sides to, such as saving a life." That "to" should actually be a "too". n un"
Can't wait to read the rest.
