A Bittersweet Love
Prologue
As the snow falls down, lightly dusting his shoulders, Ineritus cannot help but think that these surroundings were ones that he had seen before, yet he could not remember when.
He ventures forth to the shop opposite him, and enters it. Again, this place was familiar to him. As he stands there, scanning the shop, he knows he has been here before...
His gaze falls upon a brunette with green highlights, who's sitting in a window seat, and as she looks up to accept her order from the waitress, his heart lurches, for he recognises her.
"No, it cannot be..." he mutters in shock. "The spell was one to send me to the future...but here I am, back in the past."
His face pales, and he leaves, unnoticed by all but the girl, who meets his gaze for a split second, before looking away hastily.
As he steps out into the cold and snow covered streets, he increases his pace, unwilling to be stopped by anyone. The demon makes sure he is alone before teleporting to Hotel De'Amor which should still be here if his guess was correct.
Before he might have been able to tell himself that the girl he saw was just a descendant of the one he knew, but now, as the building loomed over him, he could no longer deny it.
He was in the past.
