Ch: 44 [Revelations PT-2]

[3rd Person POV]

"S-Sister! How?" stuttered The Ancient One. The familiar person appeared before her eyes started to bring up eons old forgotten memories and an eternal regret that she carried with her till now. Her world turned upside down. She who saw the future never foresaw this future.

Eons ago, Yao met a girl named Cynthia in Kamar-Taj. Back then, they were still students. Both Yao and Cynthia were excellent sorcerers with the potential to become the next ruler of Kamar-Taj. However, Cynthia refused to have anything to do with the ruler thing. She only wanted to learn magic, nothing more.

So, Kaluu, Yao's friend, took Cynthia's spot. Yao wished to turn their village into a utopia, while Kaluu desired power and conquest over nearby villages.

One day, Yao and Kaluu agreed to cast a spell, eliminating sickness, disease, and age from Kamar-Taj. But Kaluu's desire for power made him greedy. He wanted to take the position of ruler. Unknown to Yao, he cast a mind control spell. Subsequently, the villagers, under Kaluu's mind-control spell, crowned him the ruler of Kamar-Taj.

Kaluu was many times stronger and more knowledgeable than Yao. She needed more power to surpass and stop Kaluu. She asked Cynthia for help, but as usual, Cynthia showed no interest in their conflicts. So, Yao stole Cynthia's research theories and found a way to gain access to a power far greater than her imagination.

Cynthia eventually found out and tried to stop Yao. But it was too late. Yao has already absorbed dark energy.

Having drawn power from the Dark Dimension, Yao obtained unmatched magic abilities, including immortality. The Dark Dimension energy suppressed her aging process, prolonging her lifespan greatly.

Yao has finally gained the unmatched power that surpasses the limits of the mortal plane.

Yao attempted to stop Kaluu, but the village of Kamar-Taj was wiped out as a result of their conflict. Countless innocent died that fateful day.

As a result, Kaluu is banished to an alternate dimension, and Yao is stripped of his immortality. Nonetheless, she ages far more slowly than any regular human.

"She is my sister, Cynthia. She was supposed to become the sorcerer supreme, not me. She died because of me," said Yao with a sad expression.

"Yes, I died, but my soul didn't. But even after an eternity, you haven't changed at all. You are still drawing power from that cursed place. You, my sister... you should have listened to me. I told you, there are other ways... Because of your one mistake, countless universes are on the verge of extinction. And you dare bring my son into your mess..." Cynthia yelled, letting out a wave of raw magic energy.

"I am sorry, but there is no other way. He is the key... Only he can stop what's coming," Yao said.

"His fate is not for you to determine. I won't allow him to become your pawn... Never, not after what you did. You used my knowledge to gain access to the Dark Dimension. When you and Kaluu received your punishment, what do you think my punishment was? I was cursed to never wield magic ever again in this immortal life. My husband died before my eyes, and I couldn't even save him..." said Cynthia.

The power of immortality that Yao lost that day was given to Cynthia along with a curse to never wield magic. She was punished to wander the earth till the end of time, unable to protect her loved ones.

However, things changed when the merge occurred, and people started to awaken. Cynthia also awakened a power far superior to what she obtained in the past.

"However, things are different now. I won't lose anyone anymore... Not to you... not to the one who is coming. So, stay away from my family because there won't be a next time. If I see you sniffing around like a thief, I will kill you," said Cynthia. She flickered her fingers.

Instantly, everyone was teleported back to that destroyed hospital room. While Cynthia teleported her family back to their house.
