War is the Father of All

[This will be a submission for the January 2023 Royal Road Magazine Contest.]

Synopsis: A human girl is used as a cosmic weapon in the Second Eternity War. The nature of this armament requires the temporary transmutation of a human soul. However once finished the original human must be returned to their correct timeline to that point in time in which they had not yet been forged into a great weapon. The timelines are thus preserved but the human's memories and trauma of the Great War remain. This is the story of "War is the Father of All".
