"Every man is his own ancestor, and every man his own heir . He devises his own future, and he inherits his own past . " -- H . F . HEDGE

Madison approached the Lady and asked, "Lady Isabella, what do you mean by that?" It mystifies her .
"The episode you both foresee has not decided yet," she replied to Madison . Isabella turned back to Ken; with an intent gaze as she went on, "and it was in your hands . "
"What are you talking about? How that is possible?" confused, Ken hesitates to believe this .
"Until we haven't stopped the life that does not exist anymore, the past still has an original course . Meaning? There are more events soon we have to face… it was more challenging than how we already struggle at the present," Isabella warned .
"Lady Isabella, what can it be?" Nicholas' query .
"Cassandra will forever be trapped in that life . "
"NO!!!" they said at once, including Ken .
"Do you want the past to change, Dae-Hyun Chen?" she asked Ken .
"Can we do that?" he asked in return . He's bewildered to what is happening here .
"We can if you help us close that life . " Lady Isabella gestured her hand to Ken before she went on . "Changes are happening in the past, this has meant that life, where Cassandra is right now, has changed as well… and the life we are living here possibly disappears if this continues . "
"I don't understand this at all, Isabella . What will happen to Cassandra? I need to bring her back to this lifetime . " Quinn who just listens keenly has to speak up . He won't allow it .
"We must find the Dark Shaman and stop him from whatever he is planning . He was the one who meddled in the past . If we would not stop him?" Isabella glances at Quinn before she once again fixes her gaze at Ken . "Either way, that past you foresee will never happen… as how you do not belong to the present… meaning this life, Ken Chen . "
Ken felt troubled with Lady Isabella's statement . "Help me understand all of this . . . "
Isabella nodded . She then looked at Derek .
"Mama, I'm glad you came back safe . "
"Eh? Mama?!" Levi bursts out in shock .
"Ah, I forgot to mention Derek is Howard and Isabella's son, Reichard William's reincarnation," Nicholas introduces .
Hearing this, Levi wrinkled his forehead, a surprise was written on his face, "Huh? Then Uncle Edward is?"
"He knew . Although he keeps it a secret that he learns the truth . "
"Ah, he at least told me!" Levi complains .
"No, Levi . A price has to be paid if Edward insisted on defying what fate decided for his life…" Nicholas explained .
Levi sighed . He understood . Isabella has to pay the price and that is his love for Howard . And that how sad life his Uncle Edward has, until his last breath . "He didn't tell me he knew, now he made me feel sad about it . "
"Until the cursed lift, it will free everyone, including me," told Isabella .
"Cursed?"
"Among us, someone has uttered it in which I cannot remember everything that night . Something is missing, or maybe the dark shaman erased some of my memories . "
Quinn wrinkled his forehead from Isabella's word . He, as Carlisle and Klein Williams, was impossible he was the one who uttered the curse . Can it be that Cassandra? Quinn contemplates this as things getting confusing to all of them . Some questions are hard to answer and have questions that seem to have no answer .
Everyone falls in deep thoughts when Levi realizes one thing . "Wait, a minute, Uncle Derek . If you are Reichard Williams, then Irvine Williams is your grandson?"
"Oh…" Quinn looked up and stared at Derek then Isabella . "Then, you are my grandfather in my second life and Lady Isabella has become my great-grandmother . "
"It turns out that way," Isabella affirmed, a smirk playing on her lips .
"Ahh… I can't take this anymore! All of this revelation!?" Levi holds his head .
"Yes . Too much to process in the head, Levi…" Derek agreed .
"So, you are brother Quinn's grandfather? I can't believe it until now," Levi laughs mockingly .
"Who's grandfather? Charles is Howard's same age . As his friend, you are my uncle," Derek returned the mock .
"Hey! I am reincarnated now! So, I'm way younger than you!"
Derek chuckled while patting Quinn's shoulder who kept peering at him . "But what is most unbelievable is your son reborn and now part in the present time," Derek tilted his head toward Nicholas . "Imagine, over 200 years old . . . there's the grandfather over there . "
Nicholas shook his head . "Hey, I did just jumped time . I'm still in my 60s! However, you should respect me as I was born first before you back then . "
