Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: The Arrival of Unknown

In the aftermath of deceit and the shadow of impending doom, Hikari's destiny intertwined with the Stellar Stag Bearer, a guardian of cosmic balance and a beacon of hope. The sanctum of the Stellar Stag Bearer, a realm where celestial energies converged, became a refuge for Hikari—a place to harness her inner cosmos and confront the treachery that sought to sever her from her destiny.

The Stellar Stag Bearer, with eyes reflecting the vastness of the universe, recognized the turmoil within Hikari. "Fear not, for the cosmic dance is one of perpetual motion, and within it, you shall find your rhythm," he proclaimed. His words, like stardust, settled upon her spirit, instilling a newfound resolve.

As Hikari absorbed the teachings, she noticed a faint glow emanating from beneath her garments—the mark of her lineage, a tattoo pulsating with cosmic energy. It was then she realized the true extent of her power, a legacy etched in her very skin, a connection to the cosmos that no earthly king could sever.

With the wisdom of the Stellar Stag Bearer, Hikari learned to channel the cosmic tempest, to bend the celestial energies to her will. She mastered the art of cosmic harmony, a symphony of resilience that resonated with the frequency of the stars.

The time had come to face her adversaries. With the grace of a celestial entity, Hikari descended upon the royal chamber, where the king's decree still hung heavy in the air. The enemy, poised to strike, met not a fearful prey, but a cosmic force unfurling with the might of the universe.

In a display of cosmic defiance, Hikari summoned the energies of her tattoo, unleashing a maelstrom of starlight that blinded her foes. The would-be executioner, overwhelmed by her celestial aura, faltered, his blade clattering to the ground, rendered harmless by her cosmic might.

The king, witnessing the futility of his scheme, trembled before Hikari's newfound strength. With a voice that carried the authority of the cosmos, she decreed, "Your reign of manipulation ends now." The chains that once threatened to bind her now lay at her feet, a testament to her triumph over earthly treachery.

As the Stellar Stag Bearer watched from the ethereal shadows, a proud nod affirmed Hikari's victory. She had not only defeated her enemies but had also dethroned a king corrupted by power. Her journey, once marred by betrayal, now glowed with the promise of cosmic harmony—a lesson for all who dared to challenge the balance of the universe.
