Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The First Tale

(The tags are slander! The author updates reliably and never misses a day. At worst, I slack off a little. I'm absolutely not a serial dropper!!)

Time can stop, and even flow backward. Do you believe that? Zhehua Shiliu didn't, until she really discovered that time could stop right in front of her, and even return to the past.

"A magical girl can really do something like that?"

"Of course, Zhehua Shiliu. Miracles and magic can even change the past. Homura Akemi can repeat it, over and over, as many times as it takes to reach the future she wants."

Kyubey blinked its red eyes and answered. But then, what was the price? Kyubey didn't say, and Shiliu didn't think to ask. And so her story with the magical girls began.
