I've been living for over a millennia, I've encountered different rulers of this realm and how brutal and cruel they used to be. But now... They're nothing but soft elves with no hunger for power, but rather unity.
The Elves were meant to rule over the world, yet the recent rulers want peace rather than war. No amount of convincing I could do to sway such an ignorant ruler.
Our Ancestors built the foundation for us to conquer the world, be it the humans but also what was once a thriving civilization of demons. We are the superior race of this world created by the gods from above!
We live longer than humans, we're blessed more than the demons! We are superior in every possible way! Yet, these recent rulers use their powers for child's play!
How our race has fallen! I want this civilization to rise to its powers once again! Take the throne and be the ruler of this entire world!
Here I stand, deflecting every single attack given to me by the children of those weak rulers. Stopping me from my goal!
They wouldn't dethrone me! I will never give up! I wouldn't let these two weak rulers be the rulers of this realm! They're tainted with human ideologies, fighting for something they can't even grasp.
I'll stand to the very end to fulfill what was once our way of living!
[A FEW MILLENNIA AGO]
"What is your desire, my loyal adviser?"
Words that struck me like a knife stuck through my chest.
"Your sire, what is the purpose of your question may I ask?"
"Desires are what make our ideals and dreams alive."
Desire...
"Your sire, my desire is just for this realm to be a powerhouse of the world."
"Haha, such a shallow desire you have. Think bigger, my advisor!"
Think bigger...
[PRESENT DAY]
"When I've slaughtered you all! I'll rule this world with an iron fist!"
I wouldn't dream for us to be the powerhouse, I want us to be the ruler of this world! and no one can stop me!!!

Malum! I've thought of you as if you were the great uncle I've ever gotten. You've raised and played with me for over a hundred years, but what has become of you?
What's your sudden turn from this madness? Or is it that you're grooming us up until our adulthood to do what you've always wanted to do? Why? Why?
***
This is the path forward to a better future Celestina, you might not know it. But soon, if we do not regain control of this world! We'll be soon wiped out!
***
His attacks are getting bolder and faster, even when our magic's amplified couldn't still penetrate through his defenses. If that's the case, we're on a tight slope here. The Staff is probably the one that is sourcing Malum's magic.
Aether is already exhausted from the constant barrages of attacks, and I as well is becoming exhausted. Looking back from below, looking at the scale of the war.
Titans fighting each other, the people fighting their kins. What has the realm become?
"This is the end!"
Malum struck his staff through the floor of the throne, creating a massive ripple that blew us into the battlefield. As we look upon the skies, Malum levitates with his hands spread forward. As if he's a god.
"Is he doing what I think he's doing?" Eloise said as she raised her hands to point toward Malum.
No! He'll decimate all of the people here! Even his loyal followers!
Before I could ever leap toward Malum, Eloise leaped through him as she manifested a sword in her hands. Creating a trail that follows her, a trail of stars.
She swept her sword toward Malum, removing the barriers that kept him from being attacked. Eloise threw him into the ground facing us.
"What?-"
I never knew Eloise was that strong...
***
What just happened?! All of my powers completely depleted?! What is that human monstrous power?!?! No! This is not how my chapter would end! I need this! We need to become more powerful! We need to rule over this world!
γαμώ!
[A FEW MILLENNIA AGO]
"Promise me... That in the future, You shall see this world fulfilled with your desires! Make it come true!"
[PRESENT DAY]
I wouldn't let you DESTROY MY DESIRES!!!
***
As Malum's powers spike, Eloise takes the initiative and beheads Malum.
What...?
***
Ah, I was defeated by a mere human. Or rather, an Avatar of Aphrodite... What a twisted world this is, gods having their dirty deeds to be cleaned by their avatars.
Hahahahahahahahhaahhahahahaha, I'm sorry, but this is the end for me. For the kings that I have served for over millennia, the dream of yours. Are fading, this is the end. May we see each other in hell or from above.
***
Eloise killed... Malum. His body starts to rot away, as it turned to nothing but ashes blown away by the winds of the spirits.
Rest in peace, Malum...
"I'm sorry Celestina but I have to do it."
"You don't have to be sorry Eloise."
I grabbed her and embraced her tightly, feeling her warmth and her breath.
"What's with the sudden hug Celestina?"
"Nothing... It's just, you know."
I just want to feel her warmth, I've been cold the entire time. Being scared and anxious about what is about to happen next, if she didn't stopped Malum's attack. Would we survive it?
[A FEW DAYS LATER]
It's been days ever since I've returned back to the throne alongside my brother. Each of us agreed to co-rule the realm, as long as we don't stray to the path that Malum had taken.
Eloise and Deadly Romance returned back at their realm, and as for Therion. He went deep within the forest of the elves, He'll stay there until his powers recovered due to the titan he fought at the fight.
I've been quite lonely, very lonely. I've promised that I'll be by her side, yet here I am in this realm. Nothing to do, but stare at the endless flowers of the garden. Is this what the "long-term relationship." that Deadly Romance told me about?
My heart aches for not having her by my side, I want to feel her warmth, I want to be comforted by her. I wasn't to feel her touch! Why am I even like this? We never even told each other we love each other. For all I know, she doesn't love me. But just see me as a friend.
Love is really complicated, isn't it...?
