Morning light spread across the Veyris Empire.
Floating mountains drifted through the skies while crystal birds crossed rivers of stars.
Today felt peaceful.
Kael Veyris was walking through the Empire with his daughters.
Beside him were:
Seralyth Veyris
Elyrion Veythera
Kaelignis Veyris
Veyloria Kaelthera
Kaelignis pointed toward food stands floating in the distance.
Dad!
Can we go there?
Elyrion adjusted her book.
Important investigation:
Food quality assessment required.
Veyloria quietly looked around.
...Everything feels peaceful.
Kael nodded slightly.
Good.
Elsewhere nearby.
Kael's wives had gathered beneath silver trees.
Seraphina, Aetheria, Cosmyra, Eternya, Yunara, Kitsune Reina, Shiori Amateru, Ayakari, Tsukiyora, Elowen, Abyssia, Genesisra, Oblivira, Infinitra, Nullara, Ignivar, Valthera, Elysia, Ignisia, Lycanthra, Korynthia, Eldritch Chaos Sovereign, Umbryssia, Sanguinara Dracoryx and Nyx.
They talked and laughed together while watching Kael and the daughters from a distance.
Ignisia crossed her arms.
He's spending more time with the girls lately.
Seraphina smiled.
They're growing.
Umbryssia looked toward Kael quietly.
He looks happy.
Nearby, Abyssia watched him for a few moments.
Her golden eyes softened slightly.
Then.
space suddenly tore open.
A black fracture split the sky.
Ancient pressure spread through countless dimensions.
A figure stepped out.
No face.
No form.
Only a shifting outline.
Its voice echoed.
I am What.
I came to defeat Kael Veyris.
The Empire became quiet.
Kael slowly looked upward.
Silence.
Then Kaelignis whispered:
...That is a weird name.
Even Nyx looked slightly confused.
The being raised countless symbols around itself.
Reality twisted.
Concepts shook.
Space fractured.
I reject your existence.
Kael raised one hand.
Reality Refusal.
Everything stopped.
Not frozen.
Refused.
The distortion?
Refused.
The attack?
Refused.
The hostile intent?
Refused.
The unwanted event itself?
Refused.
Reality simply denied the event from progressing.
Like existence itself had answered:
No.
The being tried to resist.
It pushed back.
Its power expanded.
Reality shook for a moment.
then immediately corrected itself.
The being's voice suddenly changed.
Wait.
Silence.
Then.
nothing.
No explosion.
No destruction.
Only absence.
Kael lowered his hand.
Nearby, Kaelignis blinked.
...Dad deleted the problem again.
Elyrion wrote quickly:
New discovery:
Father's abilities remain unfair.
The danger gone, the Empire returned to peace.
Abyssia quietly approached Kael.
She looked at him for several seconds.
You looked completely calm.
Kael looked toward her.
I was walking with family.
Abyssia smiled slightly.
Good answer.
Nearby, Ignisia looked over.
Oh no.
Not another one.
Umbryssia started laughing.
Even Seraphina covered her mouth trying not to laugh.
Kael looked around.
Far above the Empire.
something unseen watched from beyond distant layers.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
