The Empire of Kael Veyris shimmered with warmth and life, a rare moment where power gave way to presence.
At the center
Kael sat on his throne, completely at ease.
Ignisia rested comfortably on one side of his lap
Kaelyra Veyris sat on the other, close and possessive, yet calm
Around them, the rest of his wives gathered, relaxed and watching the quiet scene unfold.Suddenly…
The air shifted.
Not violently
But deeply.
From the center of the Empire, roots of light spread across reality, forming something vast and ancient.
Then
She appeared.
Yggdrasyl Veyra
Her presence was serene beyond comprehension:
Hair like flowing starlight branches
Eyes holding infinite worlds
A calm aura that felt like life itself
She stepped forward slowly.
Kael…
Her voice echoed like wind through endless forests.
Kael opened his eyes slightly.
You're awake. Yggdrasyl Veyra looked at him gently.
I've always been awake… but now I can speak.
She stepped closer, her presence naturally bending existence into harmony.
You created everything… even me.
Kael gave a small nod.
And you've grown beyond that.
She smiled faintly.
Only because you allowed it. A soft ripple followed
Dark, elegant, and powerful.
From the shadows stepped:
Lilly
Her presence contrasted the World Tree perfectly:
Dark beauty
Royal confidence
A quiet, dangerous charm
She crossed her arms slightly, looking at Kael with a small smile.
You always gather the most interesting beings around you.
Kael glanced at her.
You're one of them.
Lilly smirked.
I know. For a moment, everything felt… complete.
Life (Yggdrasyl)
Darkness (Lilly)
Flame (Ignisia)
Devotion (Kaelyra)
All around Kael.
But then
Yggdrasyl's expression shifted slightly.Her voice lowered.
Something happened… beyond the outer frameworks.
The entire hall grew quiet.
A good being… one who protected countless realities…
She paused.
Was erased.
Kaelyra's grip tightened slightly.
Ignisia's flames flickered.
Kael remained still.
Who.
Yggdrasyl answered softly:
By Prime of Chaos… one of the Legendary Entities.
The name alone caused reality to tremble faintly.
The being didn't resist… they chose to protect others instead.
Silence followed.Kael didn't move.
Didn't show anger.
But something changed
A subtle shift in presence.
A good one, then.
Yggdrasyl nodded.
Yes.
Lilly looked at Kael carefully.
Are you going to do something about it Kael leaned back slightly, still holding Ignisia and Kaelyra effortlessly.
Everything that exists… exists within what I made.
His voice remained calm.
Nothing is truly gone.
The weight of his words settled over everyone.
Yggdrasyl's eyes softened.
So… even that being.
Kael closed his eyes briefly.
If I decide… they can exist again."The tension faded.
Not because the tragedy didn't matter.
But because Kael existed above it.
Ignisia leaned slightly closer to him.
Kaelyra relaxed again, her possessiveness calming.
Lilly exhaled softly.
You really are unfair.
Kael smirked faintly.
I know. The Empire returned to peace once more:
The World Tree stood quietly beside him
The Demon Queen watched with calm interest
His wives remained close, warm, and content
And at the center.
Kael Veyris sat, untouched by chaos, untouched by loss, untouched by anything.
Everything begins… and ends… with me.
The stars above shimmered.
The roots below glowed.
And existence itself felt…
complete.
