Turn Back the Clock ⏳ [Winter Verdandy]

"I see the ancient Prophecy, I see the Mirror crack,

I’d burn the entire universe to try to bring you back!

I thought I had to save the world, I thought I had to lead,

But I was deaf and blind to everything you really need!”

Hello, English is not my First language,but i writte this fanfic in spanish on tumblr and wattpad, for understanding better this penelope's Og POV ..

♤♡◇

Penelope Eckhart watched her necklace glow as she poured wine for Yvonne—or rather, Leila, the demon who tormented her in every single loop. Speedily, upon seeing the color of her necklace, she knew that bitch's plan. ¿What was Leila thinking?

​She had already lived through this exact scene of her life countless times, so much so that it felt like a horrific routine. Sick and tired of it, she had stopped dressing extravagantly in this loop, even for the day of her coming-of-age ceremony.

​“Leila, do you seriously think you will kill me? Do you think Callisto, winter, Eckles, Reynold, Derrick, or anyone else will kill me? The answer is no.”

​Penelope's life had been ripped away from her a million times over. Sometimes she died by hanging, other times beheaded by the guillotine, or strangled... and the most common of all: choking to death on her own blood after having her throat slit.

​—That is my cup, Yvonne.

​Swiftly, she snatched the cup away and stepped toward the front. Everyone present fixed their eyes upon her. She raised her glass, but not before locking eyes with her executioners.

​She saw how her father looked at her, completely bewildered by her actions.

​“Father, I tried to make you love me. Today you gave me the embrace I have yearned for almost my entire life. I am sorry, Father, but this is goodbye, because I cannot bear to live in this hell any longer.”

​She looked at Emily, her maid.

​“I never told you I cared about you. Even though you used to hurt me, in the end, you changed.”

​As for winter, she knew he never fully trusted her, but it still stung that he would think her capable of doing such things.

​“It hurt when, in my past lives, you called me a monster and a murderer.”

​Reynold—she knew he hated her, but she was glad that he trusted her even just a little bit.

​“Likewise, it hurt when you accused me of being a thief, knowing full well that I wasn't.”

​And Derrick... well, she couldn't care less about him.

​

​“In every single loop, I tried to please you. Every year of my life. But you always looked at me as if I were a rat, and spoke to me as if I were the most insignificant person in the world. But I got tired. I realized you weren't worth the effort when you didn't believe in me at the hunting tournament. What were you thinking? That I would kill the Crown Prince, knowing I have nothing to do with your family? I stopped calling you brother, I stopped trying to please you. I never understood you, and I don't intend to. Were you left bewildered when I paid you back in your own coin? When I started speaking to you the same way, and when I looked at you the exact same way you used to look at me? You are the type of person who gets indignant when treated the same way they treat others. As if you hadn't treated me worse than a slave... You always signed my death warrant. I never understood that look you gave me when you sentenced me to be beheaded.”

​And he wasn't there. Her bodyguard, the one who stabbed her in the back. He wasn't there because he was locked away in the dungeon, or perhaps due to the law that forbade slaves from attending celebrations like this one.

​“Eckles, you were my best friend throughout all my loops. I did everything possible so you could have a good life in the duchy. I bought you not just to protect me, but because I knew the life you had with your former master. You told me you were an illegitimate prince of Delman, the son of King Krue Khan of Delman, and you had to hear how your entire family was slaughtered. In my previous lives, you were controlled by Leila and strangled me to death; I could see that blue gleam in your eyes. I even told you that I was the illegitimate daughter of a count... in the end, we were both trapped in a golden cage. In every loop, I tried to save you from the clutches of that harpy... But why, Eckles? Why did you betray me in this loop?”

​And as Penelope scanned the room, there he was. It was Callisto, staring at her with bewildered eyes. It didn't matter to her anymore, anyway.

​“Callisto, I am sorry, but I can no longer handle this hell. I tried everything to save you, to free you from that bitch's clutches, but I always saw that blue glow, and you always ended up killing me with your sword. I tried to view my regressions as a miracle, but loop after loop, it turned into a curse. I was sick of seeing the man I loved... constantly ending my life. I loved you with all my soul. I didn't care that in every loop you put your sword to my neck when we met anew. I didn't care that you mocked me; I showed you my love for archaeology, and you learned my secret—that I come from an ancient lineage of wizards. But I can no longer watch the man I love become my killer. So, as my final act of love, I will set you free from me.”

​Penelope raised her cup.

​Will it hurt?

Perhaps not, or maybe a little.

​Does she regret it?

No.

​Will it be quick?

Maybe yes, or maybe no.

​Penelope downed the poison in a single gulp and soon coughed up blood. She began to stagger, her vision blurring, as a sharp pain flared in her throat and chest. She felt someone holding her up, but she couldn't see who it was as her sight went completely dark. She could only hear a massive uproar.

​Either way, if she didn't die for good this time, she would try it again and again... until she could reunite with one of the very few people who truly loved her.

​●●●

​"Everything was planned by Penelope from the very beginning," Derrick said, under the influence of the brainwashing.

​The young duke, regardless of having been scolded by his father, offered his hypothesis on why Penelope had orchestrated it all to seek attention. According to him, ever since she was a child, she did ridiculous things for attention, like breaking objects, and his "confirmation" was the reaction Penelope had upon seeing Yvonne's return.

​"Brother! Are you saying that Penelope drank poison because of that commoner?!"

​Callisto couldn't stay silent. He demanded to know from the young duke why Penelope would do such a thing on a day meant to be special for her, a day where all eyes were bound to be on her. He questioned why Derrick was so desperately eager to blame the princess. Was this how he always dealt with his problems? Was this how the great Eckhart family handled the princess's troubles? He openly stated that it was a complete disappointment.

​But suddenly, a scream rang out, causing the men present to panic. Pennel came running in, his face completely pale.

​"Pennel, what is happening?!" the duke asked in confusion, the others mirroring his expression.

​"Some guards and servants are under attack!"

​"What?!" shouted Reynold.

​"The princess! They are kidnapping the princess!"

​Everyone present rushed to Penelope's room. Some maids were unconscious, and others... well, let's just say they were no longer of this world.

​There was no sign of Penelope.

​The men stood bewildered and alarmed. The duke summoned the guards, attempting to search every corner of the mansion, but there was no trace of her. Through one of the windows, Callisto spotted a cloaked man carrying away an unconscious woman. It was his princess.

​Callisto immediately tried to break away. He ran as fast as he could, his heart in his mouth. He tried to stop the man from taking Penelope, but it was already too late; the man had already cast teleportation magic.

​Meanwhile, Leila sat in her room, a look of pure bliss on her face.

​●●●

​The Eckhart guards were searching everywhere, and back at the palace...

​"Your Highness, you must calm down!" groaned Cedric Potter, nearly being strangled by Callisto. "You cannot attack the duke's daughter!"

​"If I don't find the princess..." Callisto said, his back turned, "I am going to slit that bitch's throat," he spat, referring to Yvonne. "Give me the map..."

​Cedric Potter handed it over without a word, watching as His Highness froze like a statue. Callisto scanned the map thoroughly, but nowhere could he find the red dot.

​●●●

​Night fell. The Eckharts were searching every direction, even scouring the red-light districts, but they found nothing. The duke was consulting with the duchy's wizards, while the young duke searched the entire capital.

​Down in the dungeon, rumors spread of a slave desperately trying to break the bars, the guards monitoring him barely able to keep him under control.

​At the White Guild, the children noticed that their master was completely frantic.

​And at the verdandi Marquisate, the servants watched as their master informed them that he likely wouldn't return early.

​●●●

​Penelope was standing in a field; she had no idea what was happening. She walked a little and noticed how sweet the air smelled. It wasn't the Eckhart duchy, it wasn't...

​As she walked, she realized someone was standing ahead of her. They appeared older. She tried to step forward, but she drifted backward. She tried to walk again, but lagged back once more. Now she tried to sprint, but she still couldn't reach the person. She ran with all her might.

​She tripped. She fell to her knees right in front of the figure. It wasn't a man; it was a tall woman with long hair just like hers, sharing that exact same hair color—magenta.

​Wake up.

​Wake up!

¡​Wake up

¡​Wake up!

​Penelope snapped her eyes open. She realized she was in her nightgown. She couldn't move her body, nor could she speak; she could only listen and watch. It felt as though she were floating in the sea, and she saw other people in the exact same state, some of them bound in chains.

​"Kyle! Uncle Bill! Help!" Leila's voice suddenly screamed out from afar.

​"You're awake," a man near her spoke. Penelope stared at him, petrified. "Welcome to hell."

♡♤♡

Penélope Eckhart vio como su collar brillaba mientras le Servia vino a Yvonne o mejor dicho leila, demonio que la atormentaba en cada bucle, rápidamente al ver el color de su collar supo el plan de esa perra ¿ que pensaba leila ? Ya había vivido muchas veces esta escena de su vida, tanto que parecía una rutina horrosa que harta de ello dejo de  vestirse  extravagantemente en este bucle y en su  dia de mayoría de edad.

              

  ¿ leila enserió crees que me  matarás? Crees que me matará callisto, vinter, eclipse, reynold, derrick, o otra persona? La respuesta es no .

 

La vida Penélope se le fue arrebatada un millón de veces, a veces moría  por ahorcamiento,  decapitada por la guillotina, estrangulada y la mas común de todas, morir ahogándose por su propia sangre   tras  que le cortaran su cuello .

—esa es mi copa Yvonne.

rápidamente le quito su copa y se dirigió hacia al frente,todos los presentes tenia sus ojos fijos en ella.alzo su copa no sin antes  ver a sus verdugos.

Vio como su padre la miraba desconcertado  de lo que estaba haciendo.

Padre intente que me amaras , hoy me distes el abrazo que he  anhelado  casi toda mi vida.

lo siento padre pero esto es un adiós, por que no soporto vivir el infierno toda mi vida .

Emily, su sirvienta.

Nunca dije que te quería, a pesar que me  hacías daño al final cambiaste.

De Vinter sabia  que no le  tenias tanta confianza ,pero le dolió que el pensara que haría ese tipo de cosas .

Me dolió que en mis antiguas vidas me llamaras monstruo y asesina .

Reynold, sabía  que el la odiaba pero le alegraba  que confíara un poco en ella .

Igualmente me  dolió que me acusaras de ladrona sabiendo, que no lo era .

Y derrick, bueno no le importaba lo más mínimo.

  Intente en cada bucle agradarte, cada años   de mi vida, pero siempre me mirabas como si fuera una rata, me hablabas  como si fuera la persona más insignificante del mundo, pero me harte, me di cuenta de que no valias la pena, cuando no creiste en mi en  el torneo de caza.

¿ que pensabas  ? que iba a matar al principe heredero  sabiendo que no tengo nada que ver en su familia ?deje de decirte hermano, intentar agradarte, nunca te entendí y no pienso hacerlo,  te quedaste desconcertado cuando te Page con la misma moneda ?  Cuando te empeze a hablar de la misma manera  , cuando te mire de la misma   manera de que tu me veías?

Eres de ese  típo personas que cuando les tratan de las mismas manera que a ellos le tratan  se indignan .

como sin no me hubieras tratado peor que a un esclavo.

siempre firmabas mi sentencia de muerte, nunca entendí esa mirada que me dabas caundo me sentenciaste a ser decapitada .

Y el no estaba, su guardaespaldas que  la apuñaló por la  espalda.

el no estaba por que estaba encerrado en el calabozo o por la ley que no se permitía que esclavos estuvieran en celebraciones como estas .

Eclipse fuiste mi mejor amigo durante todos mis bucles,  hize lo posible para que tuvieras una buena vida en el ducado, te compre no solo para que me protegieras sino porque sabia la vida que tuviste con tu antiguo dueño, me contaste que eras  un príncipe ilegítimo de Delman, eras hijo de rey krue khan Delman y tuviste que oír  como toda tu familia fue asesinada, en mis anteriores vidas, tu fuiste controlado por leila y me estrangulaste hasta la muerte,pude ver en tus ojos ese destello azul.

hasta te conté que era una hija ilegítima de un conde, al final ambos estuvimos en una jaula de oro, en cada bucle intente salvarte de la garras de esa harpia.... ¿pero porque eclipse? Por qué este bucle me tracionaste ?

Y después de que penélope mirarse... ahí estaba, era callisto que la miraba con  ojos desconcertados, "de todos modos le daba igual ".

Callisto lo siento pero ya no puedo con este infierno , intente de todo para salvarte para que te libraras de las garras de esa perra, pero siempre mire ese brillo azul y siempre me terminabas de matarme  con tu espada .

intente ver mis regresiones como un milagro, que tras otra regresión se volvió una maldición y estaba harta en ver al hombre que amaba ....me terminaba matando .

te ame con todo el alma, no me importo que en cada bucle me pusieras tu espada en mi cuello. Cuando volvíamos a conocernos, no me importo que te burlaras de mi y te mostré mi  amor por la  arqueología y supiste mi secreto que vengo de un linajes de antiguos de magos, pero ya no puedo ver como el hombre que amo .....es mi asesino, así que como último acto de amor, te dejaré libre de mi .

Penelope alzo su copa .

¿ Va a doler ?

Tal vez no o un poco

¿ Se arrepiente ?

No

¿ Va a ser rápido?

Tal ves si o tal vez no

Penélope bebió el veneno  de un solo y pronto escupió sangre,  empezó tambalearse y a ver borroso, empezó a dolerle la garganta y el pecho .

sintió  que alguien la sostenían ,no pudo ver  quien la sostenía porque su vista se nublo,pero solo escucho un Alboroto.

De todos modos si no moría para siempre lo iba a intentar una y otra vez, hasta que pudiera recontarse con una de las pocas personas que la amo  .

●●●

—todo fue planeado por penélope desde el principio —dijo derrick por el lavado del cerebro.

El joven duque, sin importar qué huberse  sido  regañado por su padre, dio su hipótesis de porqué penélope lo planeo todo para llamar la atención, por que según el desde niña hacia cosas ridículas para llamar la atención, como romper cosas y su "confirmación fue que la reacción que tuvo penélope fue   a ver el regreso de yvonne .

—¡hermano ! ¿ ¡ estas diciendo que penélope bebió veneno por esa plebeya !?

Callisto no pudo quedarse callado, y le preguntó  al joven duque porque penélope haría eso en un día especial para ella ? ¿donde todos los ojos iban a estar puestos en ella ? Le preguntó al joven duque por estaba tan desesperando en culpar a la princesa .

¿Que siempre es así cuando lidia sus problemas, es así como la gran familia eckhart lidia  con los  problemas de la princesa?    dijo abiertamente que  era una decepción.

Pero de pronto se escucho  un grito haciendo que los hombres presentes se alteren , pennel vino casi corriendo con un rostro pálido.

—¿¡ pennel que esta sucediendo!?—pregunto es duque confundido, teniendo los demas la misma expresión que el .

—están atacando algunos guardias y sirvientes !

— ¡que !—grito reynold

—la princesa ! ¡ están secuestrando a la princesa!

Todos los presentes corrieron al cuarto de penelope, algunas sirvientas estaban  inconscientes y otras... pues digamos que ya no estaban en  este mundo .

Pero no había rastro de penélope.

Los hombres se quedaron desconcertados y preocupados, el duque   llamó a los guardias, intentaron buscarla en cualquier lugar de la mansión, pero no había rasto de ella, callisto vio por una de las ventanas como un hombre encapuchado se llevaba a una mujer inconsciente, era su princesa .

Callisto rápidamente intento salir, corrió todo lo que pudo con el corazón en la boca. Intento evitar que ese hombre se llevara a penélope,  pero ya era demasiado tarde, ese hombre ya había hecho magia de telestransportacion .

Mientras... que leila, en su cuarto estaba feliz.

●●●

Los guardias eckhart estaban buscando por todas partes, y en el palacio....

—su alteza tiene que calmarse !—gimió  cedric Potter, siendo casi estrangulado por callisto—¡ no puede atacar a la hija del duque !

—si no encuentro a la princesa...—dijo estando de espalda—voy cortale el cuello a esa perra—dijo refiriéndose a yvonne —dame el mapa...

Cedric Potter sin decir nada se lo entrego, pero miró como su alteza se quedaba  quieto como una estatua .

Callisto reviso el mapa, pero en ninguna parte encontró el punto rojo.

●●●

Era la noche,  los eckhart estaban buscando todos los lados, hasta en los barrios rojos no la encontraron, el duque estaba hablando con los magos del ducado, mientras que el joven duque buscaba en toda la capital.

En el calabozo, se decía que un esclavo intentaba romper las rejas, los guardias que lo custodiaban no podrían  controlarlo.

En el gremio blanco, los niños, notaban como  su maestro  estaba desesperado.

Y en el marquesado verdandi, los sirvientes vieron como su maestro les decía que posiblemente no iba a regresar temprano .

●●●

Penélope estaba en un campo no sabia lo que pasaba, camino un poco y miró como olía bien, no era el ducado eckhart, no era....

Cuando caminaba se dio cuenta que había alguien estaba delante de ella parecía mayor, intento ir adelante, pero retrocedía,  intento caminar de nuevo pero retrocedía y ahora estaba intentando correr pero aun no podría estar delante de esa persona, pero corrió con todas sus fuerzas.

tropezó, estaba de rodillas delante de esa persona, no era un hombre, era una mujer y era alta y tenía el pelo largo como ella y tenía es mismo color de cabello, magneta,

Despierta

¡ Despierta

Despierta !

¡ Despierta !

Penélope habrio los ojos, se dio cuentas  que tenía su  camison, no podría mover su cuerpo,ni hablar, escuchaba,solo miraba, sentía que estaba como si estuviera en el mar y vio como otras personas en su mismo estado estado, otros estaban encadenados .

—kyle ! ¡tío Bill! Ayuda !—grito leyla .

—despertastes—dijo un hombre, Penélope lo miró pertificada—bienvenida al infierno .

●●●

Por así decirlo es la Penélope original , así que me tomaré algunas libertades creativas .

Part 29: Winter Verdandi × Penelope Eckhart

If I could change anything

I swear to you, I would do it, but

Only God knows: where there is no love

All methods are useless

But if I could change anything

I swear to you, I would do it, but

Only God knows: where there is no love

[eckharts]

Verdandi is the coolest naming choice in VADD. The Norse connection to the Greek Moirai while not being Greek (mage but not an Ancient Mage), being the "present" out of "past, present and future", the one who is "becoming" constantly.

[eckharts]

Winter's top non-Penelope ships being Ivonne and Reynold is funny because a) her pink haired siblings are his rebound, b) Ivonne and Reynold have the same personality (not that Winter would know that about Ivonne outside of the baby Ivonne he met once), and c) that would mean his fanon + canon ships (Penelope and the laila) are masochism for him
