Chapter 1 The Knowledge of judgement...
Dravyss flew high above the clouds, wings cutting through the sky like living blades.
Strom sat firmly on her back, one hand gripping her scales, the other holding the Book of Time and Space.
They were returning from the deep dark ocean.
Not from a battle.
But from a the blood bath.
Below them, the ocean was still restless, stained dark where the body of Gorgon had been sunk. The fight had not been fair. Strom never intended it to be.
Dravyss's claws were still dripping blood, but it wasn't her.
This time, Gorgon was not allowed to breathe a single second he allowed him.
One strike.
One tear.
The massive water serpent had been ripped in two before he could even scream.
For a long while, only the sound of wind followed them.
Then—
Dravyss (hesitant, low): "Son… can I ask you something?"
Strom (firm): "Yeah, Mom. Anything."
Dravyss (uneasy): "How do you decide who lives and who dies?"
(She paused)
"Now I think… killing the Crimson Witch may not have been the right solution. Maybe she wasn't evil from the start. Maybe we could've fixed her past, like we did with Yeyna."
Strom (didn't look away from the horizon, unwavering): "We don't kill the innocent. But sparing evil means allowing them to kill."
Dravyss (confused): "Huh?"
Strom (explaining): "The Crimson Witch had no reason to become what she was. She wasn't broken. She wasn't desperate. She was like the Blood Knight. Took the Demon Lord's blessing. Served him. Then refused to become the Seventh and kill innocents all the way."
Strom: "She chose evil. That's why she died."
Dravyss was silent for a moment (slow): "And how do you know all that?"
Strom (steady): "After I saved Wraith and learned about this book, I made a decision."
"To fix everything."
"For one month, I didn't stay in the village. I searched."
Dravyss (realizing): "Yes… you barely came home."
Strom: "I read every record about the villains we faced. Now I know who never got a chance… and who chose to kill without reason."
Dravyss: "You learned all that from records?"
Strom: "Yeah. Like who the hell knows Blood Titan and Illumina were once neighbours?"
Dravyss: "Really?"
Strom: "Yeah. I was surprised too."
Strom (exalted): "But some still confuse me. That's why we test them."
Dravyss: "Gorgon… because his existence itself was a curse right?."
Strom: "Yes. He would never change. Just endless hunger for power. Killing him prevented countless deaths across centuries."
The book finally spoke. (cold, disapproving): "You are changing the nature. That is not good, remember the consequences will be horrific."
Strom (without looking at it): "I'm not changing nature."
"We're making the world better."
Dravyss (tilted her wings): "So… who's next?"
Strom: "The Black Dragon from your home planet."
Dravyss's eyes widened (tense): "Bizoker…"
Strom: "Yes."
Dravyss: "Killing him will—"
Strom (cutting her off): "We're not killing him."
Dravyss: "Why?"
Strom: "Because every time he finally understood what was happening..."
(A pause...)
Strom: "...it was already too late."
Dravyss( still doubting ): "As you wish."
---
More than half an hour later, they reached Abyss Mountain.
A massive, unmoving shape rested there, mistaken for land itself.
Bizoker.
Civilization did not exist here yet. This was long before humans dared to claim the area.
Dravyss hovered uneasily (hesitant): "Are you sure? I don't think he'll listen."
Strom: "Let's try."
"If he doesn't… then we have no choice."
Dravyss lowered herself and gently nudged Bizoker's head.
Nothing.
Again.
And again.
Finally—
Red, diamond-shaped eyes snapped open.
Bizoker rose with a deafening roar, wings spreading, ready to strike, but Dravyss didn't even flinch.
Then he froze.
He saw.
A human.
Standing calmly on a dragon's back.
Bizoker (confused, broken speech): "W… w… who r… you… hu… human?"
Strom (respectful): "I'm Strom."
"And you must be the great warrior tank, Bizoker. Right?"
Bizoker froze.
For the first time in his life… someone spoke to him with real respect.
Bizoker (brightening, struggling): "Ye… yes… I… I'm the be… best tank…"
"And… y… you are… th… the be… best hu… m… human I ha… have ever me… met."
(It was his first time seeing a human)
Strom: "Why did you come to Earth?"
Bizoker (eyes dimmed): "I… I do… don't re… remember much…"
"B… but after the war… en… ended…"
"They… th… threw me… away."
Strom (clenched his jaw): "That's cruel."
Bizoker (soft): "Y… yes…"
"I… don't know… w… why they… do… th… that."
Strom: "You should go home. Your people need you."
Bizoker (shook his head): "I… I can't…"
Strom: "Why?"
Dravyss (answered quietly): "Those rejected by the council are forbidden from returning."
Strom (looked back at Bizoker): "Why did they reject you?"
Bizoker (hurt): "Th… they think I… I'm mad…"
Strom stepped forward(firm, kind): "Listen to me. You are not mad.
Fly toward your home.
If anyone blocks your way… say this."
Bizoker swallowed (uncertain): "I… I'm n… not mad…"
Strom: "Say it."
Bizoker: "I… I'm not mad…"
Strom (shouting): "I'M NOT MAD!"
Bizoker (straightened, wings spreading wide full confidence): "I'M NOT MAD."
Strom (smiling): "That's the spirit. Now go tell them who you are."
Bizoker launched into the sky, roaring with joy.
Before vanishing, he waved back.
Dravyss stared in disbelief (amazed): "I never thought this was possible."
Strom: "He fought to protect his people. A mad dragon wouldn't do that."
Dravyss (soft): "He'll finally meet them again."
Strom: "Alright back to work."
The Book remained silent.
For once… it had nothing to argue with him.
Chapter 2 – Easy Save
The next target was the fifteen-foot beast.
Nyxcos.
A massive shadow moved between trees, eyes glowing faintly in the dark. In the original timeline, he lost everything. His mate. His children. Turned into a monster by grief.
This time… it was easy.
Because this time, Dravyss was there.
Her presence alone carried an ancient aura. The moment Nyxcos sensed it, he didn't attack. He lowered his head, instincts screaming that this being was beyond him.
Dravyss stepped forward calmly.
Dravyss (gentle): "Living near humans will get your family killed."
Nyxcos stared at her for a long moment. Then slowly… nodded.
He already knew she was right.
Without another word, Nyxcos turned back into the forest. His partner followed him. Together, they vanished into the deep woods, far from villages.
No tragedy.
No corpses.
No monster born.
Nyxcos never lost his family.
---
Next came Thane.
He was never evil. He was never meant to suffer. But in past, he lost his daughter in a crowd. That single moment broke him forever.
This time, Strom was there.
Evening market. Noise. Chaos. Children running.
Thane's little daughter tried to slip away into the crowd.
Strom simply stepped beside her.
And didn't let go.
Thane then held her hand and walked away with vegetables.
Alive.
Safe.
The big knight never lost her.
Not in this world.
---
Dravyss landed in the woods near a river. Strom was already waiting.
Dravyss (calm): "Done."
Strom: "Great. Now Natalya."
The book glowed (mocking): "As your wish, kid."
In an instant, they appeared outside a dark mansion.
Dravyss flew high into the sky, watching the roads.
Dravyss: "Yep. Villagers are coming."
Strom: "Okay. My turn."
Strom sprinted inside.
Natalya was playing with bats when she saw him.
Then froze seeing him.
Strom (urgent): "Get out of here. Now."
Natalya (shocked): "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Strom: "Villagers are coming to burn this place. Call your family and follow me."
Natalya: "Why should I believe you?"
Strom (soft): "Because I'm your friend."
She hesitated then finally nodded.
She called her parents. Her little brother. Strom explained everything quickly, and they followed him into the forest.
From a distant cliff, they watched as villagers burned the mansion.
Natalya (shaking): "You were right… they wanted us dead."
Strom: "Now you're safe. Build a new home. Far from them."
Natalya: "But how did you know?"
Silence...
When she turned then he was gone.
No name.
No face.
Just a memory of someone who saved her family.
---
Later, the group arrived at the cold lands of Elarion Vale.
Dravyss (glanced at Strom smirking): "Still care about that princess?"
Strom: "Yeah. She's kind. Just treated badly."
Book: "You're insane, you know."
Strom: "Yeah. So shut up."
Strom removed his helmet, covered his face with a robe. He looked like a wandering prophet now.
Dravyss (laughing): "Thief!"
Strom: "Fashion."
Strom entered the castle and demanded to meet the queen. After long resistance, he finally stood before her.
Queen Sara: "How can I help you?"
Strom: "Your Highness. I saw the future of your daughter. There's still time to change it."
Queen Sara: "What do you mean?"
Strom: "She turns to black magic. Kills innocent people. Because no one listens to her."
Queen Sara (stiffened): "Is there is any way to stop this?"
Strom: "Yes. Stop treating her like a prisoner."
"Be her mother, not her queen."
"Let her make friends. Let her breathe."
The queen went silent.
Strom: "Locked rooms are perfect for magic."
"Black magic."
The queen believed him because it felt right.
As Strom left, she called him back.
Queen Sara: "Wait."
Strom: "Yes?"
Queen Sara: "You help us and leave without reward?"
She snapped her fingers. A knight brought a bag of gold but Strom refused.
Strom: "My reward is seeing her happy.
Thank you."
He walked away, slowly fading into fog.
Behind him—
Queen Sara (quiet): "Real… or fraud?"
Knight: "Could arrest him."
Queen Sara: "No. He doesn't feel dangerous.
Let him go."
And they did.
---
Later, Strom met Dravyss again near a cold river.
Strom: "Princess Ires saved. Mission completed."
Dravyss watched the flowing water, shining reflection on moon.
Dravyss: "This world is so... beautiful."
Strom: "Yeah. But I bet your dragon planet is better."
Dravyss: "No.
Water is more beautiful than crystal.
You have trees. We only had diamonds."
Strom (grinning): "Rich people problems."
They laughed quietly, walking into the silver moonlight, wind whispering around them.
Chapter 3 – Judgement
Morning light spilled across the sky.
Strom was still asleep, resting beneath the shade of Dravyss's massive wings, wrapped in warmth like a child under a blanket.
Dravyss (smiling): "Morning, hero. Wake up. It's time to change the past."
Strom (half-awake, mumbling): "Ye… yeah… I'm awake… zzzz…"
Dravyss (amused): "So… next one is?"
Strom (opening one eye): "Blood Knight."
Dravyss: "He absorbs blood to heal. So we need different blood to kill him, right?"
Strom: "Yeah."
Later, the legendary duo flew high above time itself. The Book of Time and Space glowed, and reality twisted around them.
In an instant, they arrived in the past.
The moment when the Blood Knight first received his powers from the Demon Lord.
But what he didn't know that his end has come...
Dravyss landed heavily in front of him. The ground cracked beneath her weight.
Her presence alone forced the Blood Knight to step back.
Blood Knight (confused): "Who are you?"
Strom (cold): "Your death, idiot."
Strom threw his spear into the air but Dravyss caught it mid-flight because this time, the plan was different.
Dravyss (calm): "Now my turn."
The spear was nothing more than a needle in her hands.
She sliced her finger a little but a deep cut.
Dragon blood slowly dripped down.
But it didn't fall to the ground. It turned into glowing dust.
And the dust floated through the air and touched the Blood Knight's armor.
Instead of healing…
The metal began to crack.
His skin started tearing.
The curse rejected it.
Blood Knight (screaming):
"What… WHAT IS THIS?!"
More dragon blood dust surrounded him.
His powers are collapsing.
His regeneration failed.
In moments, he burned into nothing.
Not healed.
Not reborn.
But Erased.
Only ash remained...
Strom (quiet): "Being dragon-blooded has advantages."
Dravyss (nodding): "Big advantages."
Later they flew toward the dark forest connected to Heaven.
The air felt heavy.
Dravyss (serious): "Why are we here?"
Strom: "To stop war between humans and Angels."
Dravyss: "Angels are symbols of peace. They wouldn't start it."
Strom: "Exactly. Humans want the forest because it's connected to Heaven."
Dravyss: "So we stop the humans from taking it."
Strom: "We stop the king before he attacks.No war. No sacrifice."
Book (glowing): "Here you go."
They appeared behind a massive castle.
Stormy clouds rolled above.
Cold wind howled and a perfect night for a knight.
Strom: "Wait here. I'll handle him myself."
Dravyss(Ordering): "Remember. No killing."
Strom (smirking): "Yes ma'am."
Strom leaped through a window silently moved through the halls like a shadow.
Knocked out only those guards who spotted him.
Then he reached the balcony where...
The king stood alone, staring at the horizon, planning about attack and war, he didn't care about blood or life loss.
Strom (cold voice): "It's a big mistake."
The king turned and saw darkness only.
No torches. No guards. Nothing.
King (panicked): "Who's there?!"
Then two 'Blue dragon' like eyes started glowing in the void.
To those who knew him, it's nothing but.
To those who didn't. It looked like death itself...
King (terrified): "Guards! Guards! HELP!"
Strom (heavy voice): "You want war? You think you are going to rule the Heaven? You think it's possible when Dark angle is alive?
King (shaking): "Y-you are the Dark Angel?"
Strom: "Yes. And your death."
King (begging): "Please… I'll never hurt angels. Please give me a chance!"
Strom (approaching): " It's your last and only warning.If any angel cries because of you... I'll rip out your eyes out."
King (on his knees): "I swear! I swear I won't hurt anyone!"
Strom (turning away): "Consider this mercy."
Strom faded into darkness but king couldn't move fear has froze him in place.
King (whispering): "Forgive me… The God of Heaven…"
Strom leaped from the window onto Dravyss's back and they flew into the sky.
The king watched a dragon vanish into the sky.
He saw death but survived.
Not because of luck.
Not because of courage.
And not because of Powers.
But because of mercy...
The mercy of the Dark Angel or The Dragon Knight.
Dravyss (asking): "Did the king apologize?"
Strom (casually): "Yeah. A Cry baby."
Dravyss (laughing): "Classic Dragon Knight."
And because of this…
No war between humans and angels ever begins.
The Heaven King didn't die protecting his people and Azkol never ever became the Dark Angel.
Angela lived in a world where her brother smile without drowning his hands in blood.
Later after that they arrived in Valkyrie territory at the same moment when demons invaded.
Dravyss: "What now?"
Strom: "We will save a hero here.The greatest Valkyrie Knight."
Dravyss (eyes widening): "Bruce… Astrid's father."
Strom: "Yes."
Strom: "I'll save Bruce. You save the Titan."
Dravyss: "That black magic couple?"
Strom: "Yes. Stop them before they find the Demon Lord's book."
Dravyss: "Got it."
Dravyss and the Book arrived at an old house through teleportation in the past time and they saw...
A couple searched for some ancient artifacts in a old ruined building when a small girl was playing with a cat.
Book: "Hide the dark red book. Nothing else."
Dravyss (human form): "Easy."
She stepped inside.
Took the book silently.
And vanished.
Meanwhile, in the war palace…
Demons flooded the village and Bruce fought with everything he had because other knights were busy guarding the castle.
Strom moved unseen and unharmed he was just Killing demons.
Saving villagers and Vanish like Shadow.
When the battle ended the ground was covered in demon corpses.
But Bruce still stood strong.
Breathing.
Alive.
Bruce (praying): "Even if you Demons were cruel… may the gods have mercy on your souls."
In this way Astrid grow up without a childhood truma, she learns to smile before Swinging a sword.
Later, Strom met Dravyss in the forest and saw her reading The Demon Lord's book.
Strom (joking): "Yo mom!. No prayers for the Demon Lord."
Dravyss (smiling): "I found Something interesting."
Strom: "What?"
Dravyss: "He's weak in this dimension. Gods and dragons already defeated him badly. He can't reach his true form here."
Strom: "Cool."
Dravyss (closing the book): "You mentioned a villain you're confused about."
Strom: "Aaron."
Dravyss: "He tried to save his village. But made a deal.He was broken. We should save him."
Strom: "I don't think it's that simple."
Dravyss(confused): "Why?"
Strom: "Blood Titan prayed to him for years but He never answered, not until they died, but Aaron prayed once… and he came."
Dravyss (realizing): "That means something is wrong."
Strom: "Let's see."
The book glow and they arrived in another timeline.
When the seed of War between humans and Valkyries was being planted.
But they went straight to a dark cave.
Inside…
Aaron stood before a mirror.
A shadow moved within it.
Demon Lord: "You want to become king but you're already a prince, just wait a few years."
Aaron: "My people love me but don't believe me much. If I win a war… they will."
Demon Lord: "My blessing has a price."
Aaron: "Name it."
Demon Lord: "Five hundred Valkyrie souls."
Aaron (without hesitation): "Deal. But my blessings first."
Demon lord: "On the War day"
Outside of the cave.
Strom (whispering): "Is that enough?"
Dravyss: "Yes. Anyone who trades innocent lives for power deserves nothing."
Dravyss transformed instantly then her claws ripped Aaron from the cave.
Aaron (screaming, terrifying): "W- what?! A... a... d... dragon?!"
Dravyss: "Not just a dragon."
One bite and The future king was gone, he became her dinner or starter.
Strom (relaxed): "Alright. Let's eat something before you eat that book too."
Book (annoyed): "Focus kid!."
Chapter 4 – Correction
Next morning, Dravyss flew sky high through the cold morning sky, her wings cutting softly through the clouds.
Strom sat on her back in silence, staring at nothing.
Dravyss noticed it instantly.
Dravyss: "Something is bothering you, son."
Strom (instantly): "No... mom. Nothing"
But inside his mind, everything felt hollow now.
Even after saving so many lives, he knew what awaited him.
A world where no one would remember him.
A world where even the people he loved would become strangers.
'It's not if... I should save them?'
'It's something deep... Is saving them worth my existence and happiness?"
Wraith was the most important person in his life.
He admitted that.
But Dravyss…
She had a place in his heart that no one could ever replace.
A mother cannot be replaced by anyone.
Strom finally spoke again, (quietly): "That cliff."
Dravyss: "Okay."
She descended and landed softly on the edge of a dark cliff.
A massive statue of a forgotten goddess stood there, broken and cracked with time.
In front of it stood a knight in black armor, holding a long spear.
Strom (stepped forward): "Your time is over."
The knight turned.
His eyes were red.
A dark aura pulsed around him like smoke and he fear nothing.
Ross (coldly): "A Dragon… and a Blue Knight?"
Dravyss: "Your end is here."
Ross: "And how exactly are you two going to defeat me?"
Before another word could leave his mouth…
A blue blade pierced straight through his throat.
Ross collapsed to the ground.
No scream.
No final words.
Just silence.
Strom (pulled the blade back): "One more kill. Easy."
Dravyss: "Only traveling takes time. But fights? Nah!!!."
Book: "I literally have teleportation. Then why are we flying?"
Strom (snapping): "It's useless."
Dravyss: "Flying is good for health."
Book (annoyed): "Do whatever you want."
Strom avoided teleportation on purpose.
Because every jump through time meant less time with Dravyss.
And this was his last chance to have a mother.
He couldn't waste it.
Dravyss: "Now what?"
Strom: "Since we hid the Demon Lord's book, Illumina is already saved. She never even gets the chance to turn evil."
Dravyss: "Wow. I saved two lives without even knowing."
Strom: "That's the spirit. Let's save the Soul Knight now."
Book: "On your word."
The book glowed faintly and Reality folded.
And they appeared in Elesta… five centuries in the past time.
---
This was the timeline where Elesta had just won the war.
Knights were returning home.
Alive.
Together.
Dravyss stood on a cliff overlooking the massive crowd.
Dravyss: "What now?"
Strom: "Follow me."
Dravyss transformed into her human form and followed Strom into the crowd.
Villagers were cheering.
Crying.
Laughing.
No knight had died because of Soul knight.
When the knights stepped forward, everyone started shouting one name.
"Septor!"
"Septor!"
"Septor!"
Septor stepped ahead, overwhelmed.
Before the moment could turn into something dangerous…
Strom shouted.
Strom (loudly): "Elesta is lucky to have knights like these! All of them are the real heroes!"
The crowd hesitated.
Then something changed.
Cheers spread again.
But this time…
For everyone.
Septor looked back at his fellow knights.
Septor: "My friends… they are the true heroes. One person can't win a war. We did this together."
The crowd erupted even louder.
No knight was left behind.
No jealousy was born.
No hatred grew in silence.
Strom (turned to Dravyss, whispering): "Let's go."
They walked away while the celebration echoed behind them.
Dravyss: "Hard to believe such small things become reasons for unbelievable pain."
Strom: "Villains aren't born. But creating them isn't hard."
The book glowed again.
---
They appeared in a peaceful Japanese village.
Wind.
Trees.
Children playing.
Small wooden house.
But Strom's eyes were serious.
Strom: "Mom, gather everyone. Tell them to go somewhere safe. I'll handle the rest."
Dravyss (confused): "Handle what? This place is peaceful."
Strom: "Not for long."
Dravyss nodded and ran toward the village center.
Only women and children were there.
All the men were away at war.
Dravyss: "We need to leave this place "
She warned them but at first, they didn't believe her.
Then a house caught fire.
Smoke filled the air.
Panic spread instantly.
Dravyss: "The enemies are here. Move. Now!"
Everyone followed her but Strom stayed behind.
Alone when the entire village burned.
Through the smoke, a group of ninjas entered searching.
But the village was empty.
Then they saw him.
Two blue glowing eyes in the dark smoke.
Unmoving and silent.
Ninjas hesitate once, they started fearing the shadow behind smoke.
Then...
Strom: "You like unfair fights?."
He moved.
His spear tore through armor like paper.
Bodies fell before they even realized what hit them.
Every warrior who came to kill unarmed villagers died without mercy.
When the flames consumed everything…
Strom simply walked away leaving all corps in pieces.
---
Later, the samurai group returned from war, walking in the burned land.
Roni (panicking): "Home!"
They ran through the ruins but saw ashes only, no one is alive to answer what happened here.
Then one soldier noticed a sign.
It simply said: "Home →"
They followed it and found everyone alive.
Near the rice fields.
Safe.
Roni sprinted forward and grabbed his daughter.
Roni: "My child"
Roni's wife: "A woman told us to leave. Then the houses started burning. We followed her… and she vanished."
Roni (shocked): "She saved you all and disappeared?"
Roni's wife: "Yes."
Roni (looked at the sky): "Maybe she was a goddess who came to protect us. Thank you, holy spirit."
Everyone thanked the unknown savior and they rebuilt their village together.
They all lived.
But the one who saved them wasn't a goddess.
She was just a guardian from different world doing what makes her son feel... Happy.
Chapter 5 – The Fix
The wind was blowing cold through the night when a massive shadow covered the land.
Something enormous was moving in the sky.
Dravyss and Strom were flying toward a hidden city, a place that looked normal… but something was about to change.
The Cosmos Moon Elves' town.
Dravyss landed softly in the dark woods.
Strom continued alone toward the library.
It was midnight.
Everyone was sleeping peacefully, unaware that their fate would change tonight.
This was the timeline before the Blood Moon had ever cursed the land.
Strom slipped through the window and stepped into the main hall, searching for the ritual book.
He checked every shelf, every table, every corner.
Nothing.
Then his eyes caught something.
A glass cage.
Inside it, a golden box.
Something felt wrong (tense): "Damn it…"
He carefully removed the glass and opened the box.
Inside lay a silver book, glowing faintly, with a shining crystal and a name carved into metal.
"Luna."
It was the book that held the ritual of moon blessings… and moon curses.
Strom flipped through the pages again and again until he finally found it.
The Chapter of Lunar Light.
He didn't hesitate.
He tore the pages out, closed the book, placed everything back exactly as it was, and left.
He escaped through the window, fast and silent.
And just like that, the curse was stopped before it was ever born.
No apocalypse happened, not every blood moon demanded blood.
---
Strom returned to the forest.
Dravyss stood beneath the moon, watching the night sky and stars.
Strom: "Done."
Dravyss: "Let's go then."
Dravyss took flight again, while Strom's thoughts moved to the next target.
Not everyone deserved to be saved.
Dravyss: "What about that manipulation sprite?"
Strom (confused): "Who?"
Dravyss: "Kaizer the Smoke."
Strom: "Oh… yeah. We need to end him before he kills anyone."
Dravyss: "Why no redemption for him?"
Strom: "Because he was evil from the start. He killed people, and his body was sealed by a wizard."
Dravyss (cutting in): "And that wizard cursed him. But why would he want him to kill millions?"
Strom: "Kaizer was his student. One day he used magic to kill his master. Instead, his wife took the spell and died. The wizard knew he couldn't stop him, so he sealed him and cursed him."
Dravyss: "Even in his last moment, he made a weapon to kill millions."
Strom: "I think we should kill them both."
Dravyss: "And his wife?"
Strom: "She was slowly dying from the wizard's magic. Saving her would only make her suffer longer."
Dravyss: "So we let her die, then kill both of them."
Strom: "Yes… but I still feel bad for that witch. It wasn't her fault."
Dravyss: "Wait. She was sick because of his magic, right?"
Strom: "Yes."
Dravyss: "So what if we kill the wizard before he ever marries her?"
Strom (realizing): "That's… genius. No mad student. No genocide."
Dravyss: "Remember we are saving... everyone."
Book: "Should I?"
Strom: "Of course."
The book glowed, and the world folded again.
They appeared in a timeline where the wizard was still practicing alone in his tower.
Dravyss: "You or me?"
Book (excited): "Let him cook."
Strom leapt through the window.
The glass shattered as he landed inside.
Wizard (frozen): "Wh–who are you?"
Strom: "No more magic old man."
He moved faster than sound.
In moments, his hand was around the wizard's throat and the wizard struggled, but Strom did not release him until he was dead.
Strom: "You can go to hell... thank me later."
He jumped back onto Dravyss, and they vanished in the sky.
---
Later, beside a quiet river, everything felt peaceful.
(Water splashed)
Strom was trying to catch fish.
Dravyss, still in dragon form, sat nearby, holding Strom's spear and scraping something from her claws.
Strom (curious): "What are you doing, Mom?"
Dravyss: "Nothing. Just cleaning blood from my nails."
Strom: "My legendary weapon turned into a pedicure tool. What a downfall."
Strom checked his bucket and it's 'Empty', Not even a single scale of fish.
Strom (annoyed): "Come on…"
Dravyss: "Let me try."
She plunged her claw into the river and pulled out several fish at once.
Strom (shocked): "How?!"
Dravyss: "I'm a dragon. We're one of the strongest hunters ever."
Strom: "It's not my favourite game!"
---
Later they landed near a village in another timeline.
Dravyss: "Next?"
Strom: "Arok and Avlor."
Dravyss: "Kill Arok to save Avlor?"
Strom: "Not like that. Arok turned evil because he felt replaced. Avlor was adopted after his parents were killed by an assassin."
Dravyss: "So if we save his parents…"
Strom: "Everything will be fine."
Dravyss: "What about saving the assassin also?"
Strom: "No need. Assassins live for money."
Dravyss: "And greed ends with them."
Strom: "Yes."
They both waited in the darkness, behind a house.
When the assassin finally appeared, Strom's spear pierced his skull instantly.
Dravyss: "Damn. That was perfect."
Strom: "Because It's my favourite game.."
They both started dragging the body away from the yard, but also erasing blood traces behind.
Dravyss: "Why does it feel like we're the real Criminals here?"
Strom: "Why do you think like that."
Dravyss: "like literally we are doing things like stealing, murder without hesitation... What's next kidnapping?."
Strom: "Because we didn't get a better job."
They left Sontra behind after digging the grave of money Hungary killer.
---
Morning came.
Strom's body was strong, but his soul felt heavy, whenever he saved a life it felt like his own soul is leaving, but he countinued it anyway.
Dravyss: "Who's next?"
Strom: "The Lava King. Volkthane."
And after that they force him to change his path again and again by creating new obstacles in every few steps.
Volkthane get very annoyed because of obstacles then he saw a flying shadow in the night sky...
Volkthane(cold): "So that flame bird is behind this!"
Volkthane belong from one of the strongest flame demons, his powers could stop the 'rebirth' of a Phoenix also.
But Strom and Dravyss didn't stop until Volkthane reached the village but in front of the phoenix nest.
There is only the baby Phoenix alone.
Volkthane dropped his weapon step forward to kill her but the baby bird walked around him without fear, for the first time his powers didn't harm anyone.
He was planning to kill the phoenix but after seeing the baby he just can't harm them.
Volkthane: "Forgive me, Flame Goddess."
He leaves his weapon behind and leaves the tribe without harming anyone, he saw the beauty of nature and refused to destroy it.
Chapter 6 Saving loves
The evening was calm, the winds cold, and the sun was settling down, painting the sky in Golden.
Strom and Dravyss were enjoying the quiet moment when something wrong happened.
Dravyss (alert): "What's that?"
Something in the forest was moving, and Strom already knew what it was. This was the time when demons attacked the old village.
Strom (serious): "Demons. Greedy demons trying to raid the village."
Dravyss (cruel smile): "What about we raid them?"
Strom (half-smile): "That's my mom!"
Dravyss leapt to the ground. Strom followed.
They stood in front of the village, facing an army of demons.
No one received a warning before the flames burst out, and a spear followed the attack.
In moments, the only remaining things were burning corpses of demons and ashes in the forest.
All demons were killed before they could even touch the village land.
And in this way, Sam's elder sister was also saved.
But watching the flames reminded Strom of something, and his smile faded away.
Dravyss (concerned): "What happened, son?"
Strom (quiet): "I feel like it's our mistake."
Dravyss: "What mistake?"
Strom: "We didn't redeem Volkthane. We just saved Phoenix and ran away."
Dravyss (soft): "You're right. He deserves better. But how can we save him?"
Strom: "He just wanted to explore the world. That's all."
Dravyss: "Then why did he start hunting?"
Strom: "He was a normal demon from the Abyss, but different also he has violent powers but refused to attack first and because of that, his people rejected him. He left his home, thinking outsiders would understand him, but because of his power, no one could stand beside him."
Dravyss: "Then we can give him a home. Where no one judges him."
Strom: "Where?"
Dravyss: "We can lead him to the Land of Burning Nights, where the Savatars live."
Strom (realizing): "Yes. We could even save Yhustel. And because of Volkthane, no human will dare to invade them, why I didn't thought about that?."
Dravyss (smiling): "See? It's easy. You should discuss with me before taking action."
Strom (grinning): "Yeah. Moms are always right."
The book glowed, and the timeline twisted.
They landed in the past, when Volkthane was wandering, searching for someone who could give him shelter.
Dravyss and Strom landed hard on the obsidian ground, but Volkthane did not attack. He was just a kind soul, turned evil by loneliness and misunderstanding.
Volkthane (guarded): "What do you want from me?"
Dravyss (gentle): "Let's go home."
Volkthane (thinking about the Abyss): "That place isn't my home anymore."
Strom (offering his hand): "Follow us, friend."
Volkthane hesitated once, then agreed. For the first time, his thoughts felt understood.
Outsiders were understanding him without judgment.
Together, they flew sky-high toward the Land of Burning Nights.
Dravyss landed a little far from the quiet village of Savatars.
Volkthane (nervous): "Do you think they will accept me?"
Strom: "Those demons need someone to protect them, and you can prove that not everyone from the Abyss is made to destroy."
Dravyss: "They will accept you, because they want peace just like you."
Volkthane: "You two aren't coming?"
Dravyss: "No. This is your home now. Go."
Volkthane's eyes filled with tears as he stepped forward, leaving the two unknown friends behind. But he would remember them forever.
He stepped into the village, greeted the people, and told them he needed a place to stay. And because Savatars are also demons, they were unharmed by his flames.
But because of Volkthane, no human ever dared to come to Savatar's land, not even when this place held the costliest element to ever exist.
Later, on a cold cliff they watch the destroyed place.
Dravyss: "How do you know this will help?"
Strom: "His grandfather told him that his daughter would become the reason for his fall. We need to stop that old man."
Dravyss: "But how?"
Strom: "A Nightmare."
Dravyss (nodding): "Sounds good."
The timeline twisted again, and they teleported into the past, still standing on the cliff. In front of them was a land of magical ice.
The Frozen Kingdom.
It was the era when Sifen's grandfather ruled the Land of Ice.
Strom: "Let's wait for night."
Dravyss: "Okay."
They stayed hidden far from the village, and when night finally came, they entered quietly.
It was midnight. No one was awake.
They sneaked into the king's chamber, and the mission to save the royal family began.
The book transformed the room into a dark void, an illusion.
Dravyss transformed into an ancient demon goddess, and Strom controlled the shadows and lighting, because this would save the child who never got to see the world by her own eyes.
Then a voice cracked the darkness.
"Wake up…"
"Wake up…"
Hexius (shaken): "Who's that?"
Hexius: "Answer me!"
Two blue eyes began glowing in the darkness, not to scare him, but to warn him.
Hexius: "Who are you?"
Dravyss (cold): "You will become the reason for the fall of your bloodline."
Hexius (confused): "How?"
Dravyss: "You think the future daughter of your grandson will become the reason for his fall."
Hexius: "What's wrong with that? All my ancestors who had daughters died badly. I only told him the truth."
Dravyss: "But this time is different. We, the ancient demon goddesses, have blessed him. His future daughters are not a curse. They are blessings. Killing any of them will erase your bloodline."
Hexius (panicking): "How can I stop him?"
Dravyss: "You told him his daughter would cause destruction. Now go tell him they are goddesses, and never harm them."
Hexius (bowing): "Forgive me, ancient goddess. I misunderstood the blessings and believe in the past. I will fix my mistake. Please give me a chance."
Dravyss: "Go. Save your bloodline."
When Hexius opened his eyes after praying, the room looked normal again. The book had already teleported them.
Now he truly believed the goddess had given him a chance to undo his mistake.
Because of this, Sifen grew up knowing his daughters were blessings.
He didn't turn cruel, but kind.
He became a kind king who cared for people not for crown.
A man who loved his wife more than his own life.
A father who never let his daughters cry.
This time, Wraith grew up with both parents and even with her little sister.
Everything was fine… until the fever came.
Because peace never lasts long. The deadly fever, feared by this species, caught Aurora.
Her situation grew worse day by day. The entire castle was panicking as their Queen was counting her last breaths.
But this timeline was about to change in the best way.
When Aurora was alone in her room, coughing blood, an unknown knight entered through the window.
It was Strom. A small vial rested in his hand, its faint glow the only calm thing in the room.
Demons do not trust strangers, and Aurora's eyes sharpened the moment she saw him.
Strom (offering the potion): "Ma'am, drink this potion. It will cure you."
Aurora (cold): "Who are you, and why do you want to help me?"
Strom: "..."
Aurora's fingers tensed slightly, ready to react.
Aurora: "If I scream, you won't leave this place alive."
Strom: "I'm not here to kill you."
Aurora: "I don't trust you."
Strom didn't argue. He exhaled quietly, summoned one of his blue blades, then stepped closer. Gently, he took her hand, placed the weapon in her grip, and guided its tip to his own chest, right over his heart.
Strom: "Then don't trust me."
Silence settled between them.
No pressure. No explanation. Just a choice.
Aurora stared at him. His heartbeat didn't change. No fear, no hesitation. If he wanted her dead, she wouldn't still be breathing.
Her grip weakened.
The blade slipped from her fingers.
Aurora (low): "…You're not here to kill me."
Strom didn't respond. He simply raised the potion again.
Strom: "It tastes bad."
That was all.
Aurora hesitated for a second longer… then took it.
The bitterness hit instantly, harsh enough to make her flinch, but within moments something changed. The burning in her throat faded. Her breath steadied.
The pain that had lived in her chest for weeks… loosened its grip.
Aurora (surprised): "It's working… it's really working."
Strom turned slightly, as if the result was expected.
Strom: "Good."
Aurora watched him again but this time it's different.
Aurora: "You helped me. Tell me what you want."
Strom: "I don't want anything. But I need your help. My friend is dying… I need your blood."
Her expression shifted, not anger, not fear, something sharper. His voice carried no greed, no hidden hunger. Just a quiet urgency that didn't beg.
Aurora: "My blood… huh."
(A pause.)
Aurora: "Fine. You saved me. I'll return it."
She picked up the blade, cut her palm, and let the blood flow into a bowl until it filled. The scent alone carried danger.
Aurora: "Be careful. This can kill as easily as it saves."
Strom took it without hesitation.
Strom: "I know."
A brief silence passed, not awkward, not heavy. Just understood.
Strom: "Stay alive, Queen."
And then he was gone, slipping through the window as quietly as he came.
Outside, he moved fast, disappearing into the night, not once looking like someone who had just risked his life.
Inside, the room felt… different.
Aurora remained still, her fingers lightly touching her chest where her breathing had once burned.
Aurora (quietly): "…Why does it feel safe with him?"
Strom was running, fast and keep looking back until.
CLANG!
He crashed into someone strong. His armor struck another set of armor.
It was the king himself...
Sifen (furious): "Wait—who are y—"
Before he could finish, Strom used the memory-erasing spell and ran away instantly.
Book (confused): "Wait… how do you know how to use this sp—"
Strom (cutting him off, running): "No time for bullshit."
He ran faster, but then his ears caught a sweet, familiar voice.
It was Wraith.
On the other side of the garden, Wraith, the cute little demoness, was playing with her little sister.
Book (quietly): "It's Wraith, right?"
Strom (low): "Yes."
Book (sad): "You know that after this, you won't be able to see her again."
Strom: "I know."
Book (testing him): "So you regret it now? Saving everyone just to be erased from their lives forever?"
Strom (no regret): "I could even die for her. But if she smiles when I'm not there, I'll still be happy…"
(A pause)
Strom: "She is my love... My princess"
And after that a Knight stepped back silently, then ran but never looking back again.
Even the Book stayed silent. He knew he was helping to change the reality and it's not the rule of nature but he has made a deal with him and he can't leave until the work is done...
But sometimes Strom's actions went beyond his imagination that even he couldn't tell if he is still a human.
Later, they reached Dravyss in the mountains, where she was waiting.
Dravyss: "Did you succeed?"
Strom (showing the bottle full of Aurora's blood): "Easy."
Dravyss: "So, our next target."
Strom: "Crystal Sand Desert."
Dravyss (unsure): "Crysera?"
Strom: "Yes. Aurora's blood can save her. Her mother won't need to sell her soul."
Dravyss: "Okay. Let's go."
As Dravyss unfolded her wings, the Book glowed and teleported them instantly in the desert.
Strom (angry): "Motherfucker!"
Book: "I'm helping you, okay."
Strom(fury): "I didn't ask you to teleport!"
Dravyss (calm): "It's okay. Let's go."
They walked toward the witch's house. It was only four steps away.
Through the window, they saw a witch trying spells on a child, but something was wrong here.
Her eyes were dripping with tears. Her voice shook. Her hands trembled not because of mana but something else.
Her daughter was dying slowly and nothing was working.
She threw the book aside and collapsed near the bed, crying and sobbing. She had nothing left to try.
Witch (crying): "Please don't leave me... Daughter."
Outside of the house where they stand quietly then she finally speak.
Dravyss (whispering): "I'll do it."
Strom handed her the bottle. Dravyss took her human form and knocked on the wooden door.
Dravyss: "Open the door."
Witch (breaking from inside): "Go away. I don't want to buy pot."
Dravyss: "It's not a pot."
Witch: "I don't want to buy anything. Please... leave me alone."
Dravyss: "Open the door, sister. I will save my Crysera."
The witch opened the door, eyes wet believing her words because for the first time someone trying to help her. The whole village knows that her daughter is sick but no one has anything to help her.
Witch (tears falling): "Who are you?"
Dravyss: "I'm here to help. I'm a witch from a far land."
Crysera(broken): "But I don't have money for your help."
Dravyss: "You don't have to."
She stepped inside. The room was filled with helplessness and snakes. Lots of Snakes.
None of them attacked her.
Dravyss sat beside Crysera and dropped Aurora's blood into her mouth.
At first, nothing happened. Then Crysera slowly opened her eyes.
She was breathing again and Alive.
The witch fell to her knees, crying and sobbing but this time it's different.
It's not sadness,
not anymore.
Witch: "Thank you so much. You saved my daughter."
Dravyss: "Take care of her and remember, she needs you."
Later, Dravyss stepped outside and walked away.
She found Strom drawing in the sand. A house, a boy on a chair, and a dragon behind him.
Dravyss: "It's me, right?"
Strom: "Yeah just missing our home, it's been more than a week since we've out."
Dravyss: "When everything is fixed, we'll go on a long vacation."
Strom: "Promise."
Dravyss: "Pinky promise."
Even the Book stayed silent from the lie they are telling each other. There will be no home after everything is fixed.
Chapter 7 The Heaven & Hell...
The quiet morning spread across the Crystal Sand Desert like a pale veil.
Golden light touched the dunes, but Strom woke to emptiness.
Dravyss was gone.
Strom: "Mom!?"
Only the wind answered.
He clenched his fist and struck the book beside him.
Strom: "Hey! Where is my mom?"
The book slowly opened, its pages fluttering like a tired breath.
Book (half asleep): "You already know how to find her."
Strom: "Damn it…"
He pulled the pendant from his pocket. The metal felt warm in his palm, like it was waiting.
The moment he wore it, a faint thread of energy wrapped around his heart.
He could sense her again.
Strom walked toward the village following the pull.
Music floated through the air. The festival of sand was alive with colors, laughter, and dancing shadows.
And there she was.
Dravyss smiling, laughing, enjoying the festival, for real.
When another women was telling her about the event, like they are friends.
For a moment, Strom almost stepped forward.
But then he stopped and turned away.
Later, he sat inside an ancient monument, it's broken pillars whispering of forgotten ages. The book floated beside him.
Book: "You could have chosen anyone for this mission. Why Dravyss?"
Strom was quiet for a moment, then he finally spoke...
Strom: "Because without her... I'm just a knight."
Book: "And with her?"
A faint smile appeared on his face.
Strom: "She completes me as The Dragon Knight."
Strom looked toward the horizon through the broken wall.
Strom: "She didn't make me stronger."
Strom (softly): "She gave me a reason to keep going."
Book: "You know, at first, I thought you would give up when I told you the cost."
Strom: "I did step back when you told me… but."
Book: "But what?"
Strom (staring at the floor): "I don't know why, but after that… whenever someone smiles, I start seeing the pain they're hiding.
I've made lots of mistakes. I've killed people who didn't deserve it."
Book: "You only saw the opportunity here…"
Strom: "If my suffering can bring peace then... take everything from me."
Book: "You act insane sometimes"
Strom: "Maybe I'm crossing limits. But at least no one else has to suffer."
Book: "Ever wonder what you'll do when everything is fixed?"
Strom (look away): "No! Thinking about the future now… it hurts. Just leave that."
Book: "As you wish."
Strom (Soft voice): "And… I'm sorry for my earlier words."
Book: "It's fine. It's my first time breaking rules too.
I think… I'm also learning."
Strom: "But you said you know everything?"
Book: "In knowledge, yes.
In experience… I'm still learning."
A Soft footsteps echoed and they both turned.
Dravyss stood there, holding a small wooden swan from the market.
Strom (joking): "Morning shopping?"
Dravyss: "Yes. We'll bring these things to our house."
Strom: "Yeah… but we still have work left."
Dravyss: "Who?"
Strom: "Morvexa. The parasite sprite."
Dravyss: "And how?"
Strom: "We have her blood.
That's enough to end her again."
They flew sky-high toward the Dark Forest.
Deep inside, a quiet mansion stood. A man waited there… hollow, as if his soul had already left him, a possessed body.
Dravyss landed and shifted into her human form.
They stepped inside but she sensed them easily.
Morvexa: "What do you want from me?"
Strom: "Die Bitch"
He threw Aurora's blue blood onto her face and the moment it touched her skin, her body turned to ash.
No scream. No struggle.
Nothing.
Dravyss: "Cool."
Strom: "I'm Very happy now."
Dravyss: "How many like her are left?"
Strom: "Time will tell."
Dravyss: "So… where are we going next?"
Strom: "To a village where we need to kill only one man."
And later they reach a village when night had swallowed the old Street
A bar door creaked open.
An alcoholic staggered out, barely able to stand.
Brin's stepfather...
But before he married the rich lady.
He stepped out and saw a beautiful woman, standing alone in the darkness.
But something inside him awakened, the hunger of an animal started rising.
He dropped the bottle and stepped toward her but what he didn't know it was Dravyss.
Because She might be a true nightmare in 'Dragon' form but she look like a goddess stright from heaven in 'Human' form.
And behind the beauty something is waiting for him in the darkness.
As he came close to her then Strom stepped out of the shadows, locking his arm around the man's neck.
Strom: "Stay away from my mother!"
CRACK.
In a single second, his neck snapped.
Dravyss (disgusted): "He deserves to rot in hell."
Strom: "This world isn't worth saving but... people are."
Later, Strom went to Brin's house when his real father (Blacksmith) was sick.
With the last of Aurora's blood, Strom cured him.
And so… no monster was born.
Countless murders that happened in those 30 years in a unfair revenge is prevented.
No more vengeance from a burned child.
Later Dravyss and Strom walked through the silent street.
Dravyss: "This place is quiet… but beautiful."
Strom: "As we clear society, everything becomes beautiful."
They faded into the darkness while walking then Dravyss spread her wings and flew.
Dravyss: "Who is our next target?"
Strom: "Elena."
Dravyss: "And how?"
Strom: "I know an elf woman who lost her child.
I'll place Elena there… when her mother died."
Dravyss (shocked): "Strom, no!
They'll both break when the truth comes out. You can't play with feelings."
Strom: "Elena's mother died giving birth.
That elf woman gave birth to a child who died before taking a breath.
What's wrong with this?"
Dravyss: "It's not... right."
Strom: "Mom… she waited 19 years to be loved.
All she got was hate.
Ask yourself… has she ever felt at home with us?"
Dravyss fell silent because she knew he was right.
Strom: "If a small lie can save two souls… what's wrong with that?"
Dravyss (softly): "…Yes. A lie that brings happiness is justified."
Strom (in his mind): "If I'm paying the cost… I'll make sure no one tastes the pain."
And Strom did exactly what he said to her.
He took Elena from her castle.
And placed her beside the grieving elf woman.
Strom (tapping her head): "Live a happy life, my little sister."
Then he walked away from her life, forever after giving her a family where she no longer has to wait for love.
Later he found Dravyss cooked mushrooms with blue cosmic flames.
Strom (joking): "Easy, Mom. You'll burn the forest."
Dravyss: "Sorry. I didn't find anything better to light the fire."
Book: "Cosmic flames mushroom curry!"
And then they both ate and rested, quietly discussing who would be next.
But Strom didn't tell her his true plan, because what he was about to do wasn't kindness anymore.
It was cruelty.
Later, they landed a little far from the Nature Elf Tower.
Dravyss: "Helena and Myra, right?"
Strom: "Yes."
Dravyss: "What is your plan?"
Strom: "I'll force Helena to love her sister."
Dravyss (confused): "What?"
Strom: "Listen. They are twin sisters, but because Myra is kind and Helena is playful, things became… strange."
Dravyss: "Strange how?"
Strom: "People started judging them. Myra became everyone's favorite, and Helena was left alone.
Even though Myra never leaves her, Helena doesn't love her anymore."
Dravyss: "And how are you going to fix this?"
Strom: "As I said… forced love. I know it will work."
Strom removed his armor to look normal human and walked toward Helena, who was alone in the garden.
Strom (casual): "Hey! Do you want to play some games with me?"
Helena was still a child who loves going outside, so she happily agreed and trusted him without hesitation.
Later, both of them reached a cliff and Strom pulled out a small rope.
Strom: "You have to catch me, okay?"
Helena: "Okay, but what about this rope?"
Strom: "It will be cheating if you fly. So I'll tie your wings. Then you have to catch me."
Helena (laughing): "Okay! Friend."
Strom carefully tied her wings. They started playing, running here and there.
Then… He pushed her over the cliff.
She fell, but managed to grab a hanging branch, screaming for help.
Helena: "Strom please help me!"
But no one replied.
Because Strom was already gone.
Moments later, he reached Myra and told her that her sister was hanging from a cliff.
She didn't hesitate and ran to save her.
But she reached the cliff alone because Strom didn't come.
Myra: "Helena?"
Helena: "Here… over the cliff!"
Myra peeked down and saw her sister hanging between life and death.
Without hesitation, she jumped, grabbed her, and tried to fly.
But the little elf wasn't that strong. She struggled badly, barely staying in the air, until finally she reached the top, holding her sister.
When they landed, Helena hugged Myra tightly.
Her heart was racing, tears falling uncontrollably.
Myra: "It's okay. I'm here. I'll always be there for you."
Helena: "I'm sorry I hated you. Please forgive me."
Myra (heavy breathing): "It's okay, Helena. You are my sister… my cutie!"
And that was how Strom ended the hate between the twins,
and became a monster in Helena's eyes.
But now he no longer thought about what is right or wrong.
Because all he cared about was what was good for others,
even if it turned him into something he hated more than anything.
Later, they reached a dark ancient cave of Valka.
Dravyss had already taken her human form.
They moved quietly, not making any kind sound.
From the shadows, they saw him.
Darkius.
Strom's hand closes tightly, his fingers digging his palm. All his painful memories came crawling back, all at once.
Dravyss grabbed his hand and gently shook her head.
Strom (whispering): "I'm okay."
Darkius was doing something unnatural.
Demon bones. Human skin. Elf flesh.
He was creating Violet through the dark magic.
Dravyss felt uneasy just standing there, but Strom remained unshaken.
Dravyss (quietly): "Can we go now? I can't… I can't see this anymore."
Strom: "Okay."
They left the cave. Dravyss finally breathed normal.
Dravyss: "That was... horrible."
Strom (confident): "I can do that."
Dravyss (confused): "What?"
Strom: "I can create Violet again. Just like him."
Dravyss: "Strom, no! He has dark magic. That's why he can do this."
Strom: "I can do that too. Because I also use dark magic."
Dravyss: "No! You save people. He kills them."
Strom: "I control my power. That's why people think it's celestial.
But the truth is… my power was always meant to kill."
Dravyss: "I don't believe you Strom."
Strom: "My teacher used dark magic. How could I be different?"
Dravyss: "Then how did we never know?"
Strom: "Because I hid it. Even as a Knight, I had more mana than elite mages.
Manipulating magic items is easy for me… because of Darkius."
Dravyss (low voice): "And you hid this from us, from me...?"
Strom: "I'm sorry. I wasn't strong enough to admit it."
Dravyss (quietly asking): "If you could rule the world then why you didn't."
Strom: "Because if I ruled it… there would be no one left to protect it from me."
Dravyss: "What is your plan now?"
Strom: "I will create Violet again. Before Darkius ever touches her."
Book: "I understand."
The Book sent them back in time, a few hours before Darkius arrived.
Strom rushed inside. The cave was filled with black magic… but Darkius was gone.
Dravyss: "Strom, we still have time. Leave this."
Strom: "Violet can't imagine a life without Zyphus and he can't live without her and I... won't separate them."
He began the ritual.
Black magic.
Spells.
Bones.
Skin.
Flesh.
Everything mixed.
Blood dripped from Strom's hands and pain started growing hard but his chanting never stopped.
Not until… a soft cry echo.
Dravyss: "I can't... believe this"
Later, they reached the streets of Elesta in the evening because of the book.
The Queen of Elesta was walking among the people, unaware that Valka's assassins were nearby.
Before entering a quiet street, she heard a baby cry.
She followed the sound leading towards a tree.
A newborn girl, alone and abandoned.
Queen: "What a cruel world… how could someone leave an innocent soul like this?"
She called for the parents.
No one came, wait for moments but no one came.
Queen: "Then you are my daughter now."
She picked up the basket and walked toward the castle.
On the other side of the street, corpses covered the ground.
More than thirty assassins had fallen by Strom's hand.
Later, the Queen told the King about the baby.
They needed a name now.
Three-and-a-half-year-old Zyphus entered the room.
In the last timeline, he had been crying here for his mother but not now.
He gently touched the baby's hand.
And don't know why but she stopped crying after that and everyone saw her purple eyes.
Zyphus: "Violet!"
Queen: "Yes… that suits her."
King: "Actually a good name."
Zyphus (soft laugh): "Violet… my little sister."
---
And Eleven years later…
In the royal garden, Zyphus threw rocks at mangoes.
He missed every time because his aim was pathetic as hell.
Violet picked up one rock and hit the target in a single throw, her aim is still dead perfect.
Zyphus (shocked): "How is your aim so perfect!?"
Violet (smiling): "Go home, kid!"
She laughed and ran while Zyphus chased her around, they are living a happy life.
From the shadows between trees Strom watched quietly.
He was the men standing in hell…
Building heaven.
