CHAPTER ONE: Further back in Time
Chris was firmly scrunched up like a ball with his head in his lap and crying. He had just witnessed the apparent disintegration of his mother and his two Aunts.
Leo orbed in. “They can still be saved, Chris,” Leo said.
“How, you can’t heal dust!” Chris replied back without even looking up.
Leo stepped over to his son and put his hand on him. Chris pulled away.
“They can’t be dead,” Leo reminded him. “You are still here and Piper is still carrying you.”
“Why am I still here?” Chris said. Chris heard nothing. He finally looked up and saw his father frozen. “Mom?” he called out hopefully.
“You still have a chance to save them, Chris,” the Angel of Destiny appeared before Chris. “It is your destiny to do so.”
“But how? It is impossible,” Chris answered.
“Just remember, time is on your side,” the angel critically answered. “The Root of All Evil has vanquished the Source of All Good. You must bring her back!!”
“Wait, there is another Source?” Chris asked.
“The Root of All Evil is above the Source,” the Angel of Destiny answered. “The Root of All Evil created the Source of all Evil. The Source of All Good must be restored or all hope is forever lost.” The angel disappeared and Leo unfroze.
Leo noticed Chris stopped crying. “Glad to see you are pulling yourself together, son,” although his own face was still ravaged by grief of the loss of his soul mate.
“Ever heard of the Source of All Good?” Chris asked.
“No,” Leo answered. "I can't say I have."
“What is it, an Elder?” Chris wondered.
“I said I don’t know,” Leo was becoming annoyed; especially since it didn’t seem his son was listening to him at all.
“What about the Root of All Evil?” Chris asked.
“The Root, you mean the Source? They already vanquished him,” Leo said.
“No, the Root,” Chris said.
“I will check with the other Elders,” Leo answered.
“Sure, if you like wasting your time,” Chris said, sarcastically. Leo shot Chris a dirty look. “Seriously, they never know anything!”
“They did come up with the idea how to clean up last time magic was exposed,” Leo said. "That may be what happened again this time."
“Yeah, pure genius; they had you seeking demonic help instead of just asking The Cleaners!” Chris said sarcastically. “No, thanks, I don’t want that kind of help. I don’t want to end up like Prue!”
Leo was shocked at that statement.
“Time is on my side,” Chris mumbled only semi-audibly.
“What was that?” Leo asked.
“Of course! The spell!” Chris said. He jumped up and grabbed some chalk. He drew a triquetra on the wall.
“Hear these words. Hear the rhyme. Heed the hope within my mind. Send me back to where I'll find What I wish in place and time” Chris read aloud.
Chris turned to Leo. “Wish me luck,” Chris told him, then he walked through the portal.
“Good luck, son,” Leo murmured, then he let his own devastation over Piper’s death sink in, and he began to cry. He had put on a strong face for his son, but now that his son had left, he let the emotions sink in.
