Chapter 125 - A New Beginning

*More than 500,000 years ago*

In a plane of land created by the blood-stained soil, the fractured ground, and the remains of corpses stood strong an army of over a million men and women. Every single one of them wore gladiator helmets while holding onto a weapon of their choosing.

The land they stood had been destroyed beyond recognition. It looked like it had been devastated by a cataclysmic to the point it would not be far-fetched to say that the wraths of the heavens had fallen upon the land under them.

Every single man or woman was wearing armor of the same quality made out of a golden material that wasn't gold itself. Every piece of armor had been covered in runic inscriptions, every single square inch more detailed than a 1000 page book on aerodynamics and astrodynamics.

Every warrior exuded strength beyond the comprehension of the human mind as the golden radiance covering them and their equipment threatened to crush everything around them with a single flicker. It would not be an exaggeration to say that one of those warriors could easily dominate a planet, yet right now, they were shivering in fear. Every single one of them was pale, covered in a cold sweat.

They all gritted their teeth and strengthened their legs that had started to wobble like jelly under them. They clenched fists around their weapons of choice while sorrow and helplessness enveloped them. Their eyes screamed for help, but no one could help them against the monstrosity in front of them. Not even the gods.

The violet clouds churned as they spiraled above the head of the figure everyone was looking at in fear. Yet, even with these thick clouds spiraling into a hurricane, the hundreds of stars' radiance was still visible from their place. The snars that were once difficult to even see at night had turned into vibrant little moons shining once again upon the lands, penetrating everything within their path.

In the middle of this chaos stood one girl, barely 4ft tall. Her black hair draped down her shoulders as they reflected the violet radiance with elegance and added luster. While her eyes were shut, one could still appreciate the beauty of her face. While she might have been only 4ft tall, the child would grow up into a fine lady one day.

Her long eyelashes only shimmered in the winds of the hurricane, while her elegant and smooth skin repelled any unknown outside forces from even touching her.

A black dress tightly wrapped around her immature body as if it was hanging for dear life. Her clothes enveloped her entire figure in a cosmic black that was as deep as the universe. The dress resembled a constantly drifting space filled with stars, nebulas, and colors of all sorts. Yet, despite the abundance of colors, the deep darkness that was the abyss seemed t have sucked all the colors dry, leaving the most prominent color that of a deep black.

A single silver crescent moon glistened in the middle of the girl's forehead. She exuded such a powerful aura that shrouded her in a violet translucent mist. Her aura flickered randomly, like a brewing storm clawing to break out of its cage.

The girl stood in front of the magnificent army covered in cold sweats and painted with pale faces. Everyone, no matter the size or shape was terrified by the aura around her, and aura powerful enough to enshroud the whole planet in darkness. An aura that would create chaos wherever it stood dormant, causing cataclysm after cataclysm and incurring the wrath of the skies heavens where it stood.

As the hurricane above her that she just so happened to be the eye of became more fierce, the warriors became more fearful. They wanted to run. They wanted to flee. They had lives to live. They had families to feed. Yet in the presence of absolute power, they did not do anything. They could not run. They could not hide. The girl's power was absolute, where anyone who stood against it would be crushed flat.

Their eyes shook and the legs wobbled. Their eyes watered and their mouths sorrowed. Nothing could save them from this... Nothing.

Suddenly, as if the girl had had enough of their sufferings and the heavens bowed to her orders, with the simple lift of one of her fingers, the once stagnant stars became bright. Brighter than ever. Too bright to be exact.

As if the stars were at her beck-and-call, their luminosity bathed the planet's surface with a warm light that scorched the earth. The army could do nothing but stare into the sky helplessly as the stars began to enlarge into 600 meters wide 4 Pointed stars. The once gloomy sky was now as bright as a sunny day, maybe even brighter, yet the gloom did not disappear but was rather replaced with an ominous aura of both destruction and dread.

The girl slowly lifted her arm as she dangled relaxedly at the ned of her arm. However, the moment her arm had begun pointed at the sky, her arm became tense while her palm pointed towards the sky as if she was trying to grasp the stars themselves.

That is when it finally happened. The little girl finally opened her eyes, bathing the world with the beauty of her eyes. While one would think that her eyes would be filled with innocence, those warriors in her presence knew better. The moment her eyes had opened, it had already bathed the world with its beauty. Her eyes were sharp and cold without a shred of innocence as if she had seen everything cruel in this world.

They looked within the eyes of something truly terrifying. The raw dense energy emanating would cause a galactic empire to drop to its knees, while its beauty was something only found in a deity. Her Purple eyes seemed like they were made out of millions of Amathyst threads, each one holding a cosmos within.

The black pupils glistened like a beautiful star swimming in the Purple abyss. Circuits and wire-like runes expand from the eye itself, going down and around the cheekbone to finally reach mid-way down the cheek. The other runes however went up the temple and disappeared into her hair, as if her black hair was an all-consuming abyss of nothingness that not even light could escape from.

*Thud*

"Ugh... I had that dream again..." I muttered while rubbing the middle of my forehead with a sour impression drawn onto my face. I could not help but sigh again at the dream that was not far from being vivid. I could barely remember it, but after seeing it so many times, I could remember parts of it like the stars that shone in the sky and the little girl who was commanding them. Everything else was but a blur.

"Your awake? I thought you were going to sleep for a few days after your last training session. You really don't slack of do you" Olivia snickered with a warm smile.

It has been almost 2 years since the day I had removed my last name, 'Raven', and had gone into the wild.

When we were on our way, I had chosen that the best course of action was probably to live in the white paw tribe, since Juilam did say that I could come at any time.

"So, where are you going to live? I am willing to take you in if you want, at least until your mother calms down a bit more in a few months. Maybe then you can console, however, in the meantime I can train you. I could even get you a Light magic tutor" Jack suggested

"Uhm, well... I'm planning to live with my friend and teacher." I replied aloofly

"Really? I would like to meet this teacher of yours if he is worthy of being your teacher" Jack said arrogantly with a puffed chest.

"I'm sure he will surprise you" I chuckled croakily

30 minutes later

"Are you sure it is in here?" Jack questioned while looking around at the towering trees.

"I lived her for almost 3 months, of course I know where it i-" Before I could finish my sentence, I heard a low growling on my left. While Jack looked and Olivia tensed up and got into battle stances to protect me, I simply lifted my hand, gesturing to them lower their guards.

"Hey there little one" I crouched to the ground to look at the wolf 30 meters away with a warm smile. As if recognizing me, it quickly widened its eyes and ran towards me with its tongue hanging out of its mouth and its tail wagging rapidly from left to right.

Even though I told them to stand down, they immediately got on guard again, receiving a glare from me right after.

The little wolf seemed to have gotten a little scared and had started to retreat a little, yet the moment I took out the wolf's favorite meat, it immediately perked up again before skipping over to me with what looked like a wolfish smile, or the closest thing it could make to a smile.

"Good boy" I patted his head as he ate my meat like it was going to run away if he did not eat it quickly enough.

"Did she just tame a beast?" Asked Jack with a perplexed look.

"I didn't think I'd ever see a scene like..." Olivia was completely dumbfounded
