The stage was set and the deed was done.

It was the execution of a traitor, well fornicated one.

His majesty the emperor sat on his throne with his beloved empress.Loads of people came to see the execution of the woman who tried to kill the empress.She was none other than his majesty's concubine, well a very unknown one....Elaine Norwester.

Norwesters were the inhabitants of the ice fed areas of the north.They were fair as the beautiful light and had dense and long silver hair with a hint of white as the snow.But the girl who awaits her death on the stage was full of blood covering her hair while people continued to throw stones at her for her misdeed.

She felt nothing,well,nothing at all since she was indeed guilty of numerous offence.She just stared at the sky waiting for her death.

But her life was never like that.

Well she was,one of the daughter of the previous king and the current king was just her brother. The previous king was an unruly one ,always creating ruckus among the nobles and flirting and sleeping around with women was his daily routine.A prodigal son and a cheating husband,he was despised by the empress who was religious in nature.Nonethless it occured as if he was a drunkard addicted to woman.

Well people those days never knew of diseases related to intimacy. He slept around with a Norwester girl and ended up impregnating her.She was cold yet kind from heart.The king was a king so he couldn't abandon his responsibilities for the hapless woman and the child inside her.

But it was just the beginning of a devious plan that resulted to this ending .A sad ending...isn't it??

Well...the prosecutor asked her if she would like to say anything.She was still in a daze.And then asked for her favorite hourglass.

They brought her the half broken hourglass...sand still pouring out of it.

The prosecutor brought her under the guillotine....on his majesty's orders who was sitting with his empress as if he was watching a show. But the empress had a vicious smile on her face.

What a two faced bitch!!

"The traitor and the crime she has committed.....on the hour by now,Elaine Norwester is executed in charge of treason and murdering the royal members,including the king." The prosecutor was to release the guillotine.

The empress smiled a little.She murmured a little...."I succeeded as you challenged,bitch!!"

Elaine could easily notice the smile of victory on the empress's face.She was gritting her teeth.

She only thought by herself...."If I am given a second chance,I will come back to exact revenge.I will turn time to favor me.I will torture until you fall on my knees, empress."

The hourglass fell from her hand and the sand was thrown out.The guillotine fell on her head killing her and a bright light gleamed from the hour glass blinding all spectators.

"I told you, she was a witch.....",people started to murmur within themselves.

And that is when the king had a relieved expression on his face.

The actual story have just began now.....

It was a warm light.

Elaine could feel a warm light burning her cheeks warmly.She was unknown of the situation as she already was killed on earth.She heard a melodious voice singing nearby.

"Where am I??",she was searching for a way out through the foggy ice.She soon stumbled to find that she was in a hall.

Soon two beautiful women came into sight.Well others may not have been aware but she was well aware of the person in front of her.Well,a person and a goddess.

Elaine kneeled in front of her bowing her head down until it reached the ground.

"My prayers,Saint Olga and goddess Vita.",she said

"Get up my child, you have suffered enough.",Olga asked her to get up.

Saintess Olga is regarded as one of the greatest saints of the world.She was the descendant of a pure soul witch and had immense power of divination and healing.She was nomadic, travelling from one place to another and aid people in their distress.Because of her notable aid,she was regarded as the saintess and her soul was accepted by the heavens as it said. Well that was true.

"I am happy to see you my beloved child.You have suffered so much....I can't see you in pain",Vita was upset.

Vita was regarded as the goddess of time and fertility,of soul and rebirth.She has the power to turn time back to original and was the guardian goddess of Saintess Olga.

She placed her hand on the hapless Elaine's head stroking it lightly.

The light gems were glistening and there was a serene silence around the void.Elaine was surprised to what happened.

"The hourglass has turned time back my dear.",Olga said.

"The hourglass???Why,I thought that it was like any other hourglass.....",Elaine was a little shocked to what Saintess said.

"That Hourglass was a heirloom of the Norwester,the direct descendants of Vita.The hourglass contained the sand of time,that had the power to revert back time to the square one.But it takes someone's life in return. ",Olga continued.

"Revert time??,Taking life??,I don't understand anything....",She stooped down.

"Look below....my dear ",Vita said.

Elaine looked down below on the earth to see a family mourning the death of their beloved .Grief stricken,the family follows the dead to doom which breaks her heart.

"Don't pity them because they have paid for their sins.Watch out the future closely dear it beholds a lot for you.",Vita replied seeing Elaine's grieved expression.

The warmth returned to her cheeks again and her consciousness was fading when she could hear Vita speaking....

"Live a good life.....exact revenge for your loved ones.Wish that you will find your true love this time.I will be always with you,my beloved child.We will see each other again next time."

Elaine could feel that was losing her consciousness and a comfortable feeling wrapped her as if a lullaby was sung to her and slowly fell asleep.

It was unusually bright.And the bed was cozy.

It had been three days since Elaine has reborn.Well,as a baby.

She is a little happy,a little sad.But it didn't matter as long as she has got a second chance.

[FLASHBACK]

"Uwahh,uuu...gooo",a baby was cooing.

It was none else than Elaine.

"Have I reborn in my past self as a baby??Well it is a damn that I became one.",Elaine was flustered at the thought and she blushed.

But she was much more shocked to see a pair of eyes examining her.She was much more ashamed as she was half *****.

"Now who is the person who is examining me inch by inch",Elaine thought by herself since she couldn't speak anything other than baby words.

Well,it was a boy.

This time,Elaine was much more sure about the boy.It was none other than her future husband,the Crown prince.

He was gazing at her with a pair of shining red eyes.

"Well,who we have got here??",Elaine was feeling disgust in her mind by the sight of the future emperor.

And that is when she heard her mother's voice for the first time.

Her mother,concubine Leah of the Norwester.

Elaine was gazing at her while drooling when she saw an elegant yet weak lady,who have just left bed after recovering from childbirth.Well,that is how Leah was.No matter what would happen,she couldn't just abandon her daughter.

She approached her with a motherly look.She had a loose attire on her body and her collar bones were visible.With ruffled hair and a pale face ,she looked nothing less than a fallen angel.

Elaine continued to drool over her mother's beauty. It was out of the world.

"Now,what the hell am I thinking??Why I am drooling over my mother??Have I really become a lesbian this life??",Elaine was grumpy and shivered by the thought.

"Thank you crown prince for being with her when I was not here.I am so thankful.",Leah bowed as her head touched the ground.

Elaine was irritated by the sight.And she started to cry.

Leah hurried to her side and took her by her bosom. But Elaine purposely didn't stop crying.

"Hush,Elaine ,hush..." she slowly rocked her .

Hearing her mother's assuring words ,she stopped crying.

"Well then I will be going,little mother",the crown prince said."If you will excuse me".

He left the room hurriedly.

"Well,looks like I foiled your plan my dear brother.Or else I would surely be dead by now.",Elaine chuckled.

"Baby,are you happy??You are smiling so prettily.I was so tensed that you didn't cry for two days and that is why came in search of you.I was so tensed,you scared me baby.",Leah had tears in her eyes.

Elaine slowly extended her hand to wipe her mother's tears.
