เข้าสู่ระบบEvery universe screamed.The sound wasn't coming from people.It was coming from the stars themselves.One by one, galaxies began turning white.Lyra tightened her grip on Kael's hand.Selene stood at the center of the destruction.Her hair floated around her like smoke.Her eyes were completely white.And a strange symbol had appeared on her forehead.Kael whispered,Selene...She turned toward him.For a brief moment, her expression softened.Kael.He took a step toward her.What happened to you?Selene smiled.You happened to me.I don't understand.You loved me.Then she looked at Lyra.Until she took you away.Lyra shook her head.I didn't know you.You did.Selene raised her hand.You knew me before you erased me.A vision appeared.Lyra saw herself standing beside Selene.They weren't enemies.They were sisters.Selene was crying.Please don't do this.Lyra was holding a baby.I have no choice.You always say that.Lyra looked down at the baby.If I don't erase you, he will die
The creature standing before them looked exactly like Kael.Same face.Same body.Same voice.But his eyes were completely black.Kael stared at him in horror.You shouldn't exist.The dark twin smiled.Neither should you.Lyra stepped between them.What are you?The dark twin looked at her.You know.No, I don't.You created me.Lyra's face tightened.I created Kael.Exactly.And when you split his soul...The dark twin touched his chest.You created me.Kael raised his sword.You're not part of me anymore.The twin laughed.That's where you're wrong.He stepped forward.I'm the part of you that remembers everything.Kael froze.Everything?Every time you died.Every time Lyra abandoned you.Every universe where she chose someone else.Every time you watched your children disappear.Kael's grip tightened around his sword.Stop.The twin smiled.You don't want to hear the truth.I know enough.No.You know what she allowed you to remember.The twin looked at Lyra.But I remember every
Kael's eyes turned completely black.Lyra froze.Everyone around them stepped backward.The children stared at him.Father?Kael didn't respond.His body remained still.Too still.Lyra slowly approached him.Kael?His head lifted.For a moment, Lyra saw the man she loved.Then the darkness returned.Stay away from me.Lyra's heart broke.No.She reached for him.Kael suddenly grabbed her wrist.His grip was painfully strong.You need to remember.Remember what?What you did to me.Lyra stared into his black eyes.I don't remember.That's the problem.The enormous being above them spoke.She erased the memory because she could not bear the truth.Lyra turned toward it.Give me the truth.The being raised its hand.A vision appeared.Lyra saw the beginning of Kael's existence.He stood in a world filled with darkness.There were no stars.No planets.Only him.Then Lyra appeared.She was young.Lonely.And afraid.She reached for him.I created you.Kael smiled.Why?Because I wanted s
The sky split apart.Lyra stared at the countless figures standing beyond the crack.Every one of them had her face.Different clothes.Different crowns.Different scars.Different eyes.But the same face.Kael tightened his grip on his sword.How many are there?The silver child looked upward.I can't count them.The dark child whispered,There are too many.The golden child stepped in front of Lyra.They won't touch Mother.The little girl stood beside him.Neither will I.Lyra looked at her children.Stay behind me.The little girl shook her head.No.I'm not afraid anymore.The enormous voice echoed through the sky.You should be.One of the figures stepped forward.She looked exactly like Lyra but wore a crown made of black diamonds.You have survived far longer than expected.Lyra raised her sword.Who are you?The woman smiled.Your replacements.Lyra frowned.What?Another Lyra stepped forward.When the first universe was created, the Creator made a mistake.She created hersel
Lyra opened her eyes.Silence.There was no ground beneath her.No sky.No stars.Nothing.She floated in a vast white emptiness.Her first thought was Kael.Then her children.She tried to move.Nothing happened.She screamed.Kael!Her voice echoed.Children!No answer.Then a tiny voice whispered from somewhere beyond the light.Mother.Lyra's heart jumped.Who is that?Me.The little girl appeared.But she was no longer a child.She stood tall, wearing a crown made of white light.Her eyes were glowing.Lyra stared at her.What happened to you?The girl looked down.I became what I was created to become.Lyra shook her head.You didn't have to.I did.Why?Because the universe was dying.The girl raised her hand.I saved it.Lyra looked around.Where is Kael?He's alive.My other children?Alive.Then bring them to me.The girl hesitated.I can't.Why?Because you cannot return.Lyra's heart stopped.What do you mean?You are no longer part of creation.The girl looked away.When
Lyra couldn't breathe.The man standing beneath the black star had Kael's face.Not similar.Not close.Exactly the same.Same dark hair.Same sharp jaw.Same blue eyes.Same scar above his eyebrow.Even the same crooked smile.But Kael was standing beside her.Alive.The children stared between the two men.Father?Kael stepped forward.Don't call him that.The other Kael laughed.Why?Because I am the original.Kael's face hardened.You're lying.The stranger looked at him.You really don't remember?Remember what?The stranger pointed at Lyra.Our first life.Lyra's heart began pounding.The stranger continued.Before she created the first universe.Before you became her mate.Before your soul was divided.You belonged to me.Lyra shook her head.No.The stranger smiled.Ask her.Kael looked at Lyra.Is it true?Lyra couldn't answer.Something inside her mind was awakening.A memory.A forgotten promise.She saw herself standing beneath a tree.A younger Kael was holding her hand.
