Time and regrets

In the room where Mickey was hiding, he had encountered something he wasn't expecting. He looked at the large ferocious beast who now had him at its sight. Normally, Mickey was confident enough to take on a ferocious beast on his own but, his injuries would make things difficult for him. Also, the level of this particular beast was not something he could take on by himself. Seeing his predicament, Mickey decided to give the beast a battle of a lifetime, at least he would die fighting like a warrior should. He came out of his hiding and grabbed his sword with both hand. The beast looked at the human and growled, saliva was coming out of its mouth already. It was obvious he had not eaten for a long time, seeing Mickey and its previous victims as nothing but prey. Come you furry bastard, let's dance Mickey said. Immediately, the beast approached Mickey ready to kill the human. Mickey saw the claws coming towards his face and was barely able to react on time. Damn my injured leg he thought. if I'm no careful my last stand will be the shortest in history. As he was thinking the beast threw its claws towards Mickey again but he blocked the attack. He activated the runes on his sword and the shield mechanism was activated allowing him to push the beast back and stop it from pinning him down. When he saw the beast was slightly off balance Mickey got closer and tried to cut the beast down. Immediately his sword and the beast's skin made contact, his attack bounced back as if he hit a massive boulder. The beast roared as Mickey attacked failed and this time it hit mickey with full force sending him crashing into the wall. The beast didn't let him rest picking him up again and slamming him against the floor. Mickey was now covered in blood and most of his bones were broken. The beast was still not done as it used its claw to separate one of his hands from the rest of his body. Mickey screamed as the beast tore off his arm and started chewing on it. He tried to pick himself up and drag hid body to safety but he knew deep down in his mind. There was no way he could escape the Monster. After it was done munching down Mickeys arm, the beasts was ready for the rest of Mickey. He could only watch and scream endlessly as the beast tore his second hand again and started eating it. Mickey stared at the feasting beast and in his brief life he had never thought this is how it would end for him, he still had a lot of things to do and accomplish as far as he was concerned. Dying here was not really an option for him but now that he was dying, Mickey realized he had a lot of regrets. He wanted to at least save Jo's life once since he owed his captain everything, He wanted to take good care of Amelia and protect her from herself. Especially when she would get herself drunk without caring about the fact that she was a lady. Above all he wanted to spend more time with them. The time he had with them till this current moment was too short as far as he was concerned, he wanted to stay with them a little longer, to fight with them a little longer, laugh with them a little longer and fight beside them a little longer. If only I had more time Mickey thought as darkness enveloped his eyes. Few seconds later he felt a pull towards something, he open his eyes and saw that he was in a different dimension. He was floating in what seemed like a space but no clouds, no stars only different form of clocks and maps were there. The space was neither bright nor dark, neither day nor night, it was safe to say, this was the most amazing place he had ever being. As he was lost in his thought he heard a voice speak form all around him. "Welcome human" A voice called from all over his surroundingsMickey having heard the stories thought he had summoned a curse and called out in anger."Show yourself Demon" he said."Calm down Human I'm no demon, as a matter of fact I'm only here to answer the call from deep within your soul Michael Tulley". Immediately someone appeared right in front of Mickey, the woman had green hair and her skin was like the color of the leaves. Her eyes had a small clock with just a hand at it was not moving. She held a staff in her hand and immediately she used it to touch the space the clocks and maps began to move and change shapes. "I'm Kali, the goddess of time" She said.In his short life Mickey had never imagine he would become a champion of the gods. Although his situation was like he was summoning a curse but seeing the being in front of him he knew he was talking to a goddess. It was as if he was dreaming, or maybe I am Mickey thought and slapped himself to confirm.Hahaha! Kali laughed seeing Mickey's action. "No need for that Michael, you are definitely not dreaming" Kali assured him."What you are is almost dead. And you will, soon, your situation doesn't look really good" Kali said"Can you help me?" Mickey asked."Yes of course I will but you have to make a deal with me first". Kali said."What do you want?" Mickey inquired."Nothing that you have, for now at least, there's nothing that you can offer". Kali said"I hate owing people" Mickey protested."Oh, do you? Well, you don't have to worry about owing me, I'm a reasonable goddess, I'll give you my blessing right here right now, and in return whenever I need you, you'll respond without fail" Kali said."What would a goddess need me for?" Mickey asked"Well that's a secret" Kali said."If you are going to be vague about things then I have a condition." Mickey said.Kali thought for a while before speaking. "Go on, spill it out" Kali said"I'm not going to kill anyone for you""Who could you possibly kill for me that I can't kill myself?" "I don't know Mickey replied, but there seems to be something I can do or will be able to do for you that you won't be able to do yourself". Mickey replied"You are a smart Human" Kali said."I learnt from the best teacher" Mickey said."And who might that be?" Kali asked"The streets" Mickey replied.
