Chapter 45 - Chapter 45

With the new core in place, the realm was secure once more, safeguarded by the indomitable power of Jade and his boundless life energy, magic, and pure energy. And as the sun set on the horizon, casting a warm glow over the land, the future of the world seemed brighter and more hopeful than ever before.

Tears dripped down of the creator, Alister and the guardian of the void face but they know what they had to do now they decides to bring back everyone who has been hiding in the hidden realm back to homeland

Together, they journeyed to the hidden realm, a place of secrecy and safety that had sheltered them during the darkest of times. As they entered the realm, they were met with a mix of relief and joy as their fellow beings greeted them with open arms, grateful for their return.

With heavy hearts, they gathered everyone together, their faces reflecting the weight of the news they were about to share. The creator, Alister, and the guardian stood before the crowd, knowing that they had to be the bearers of difficult tidings.

With a somber tone, the creator spoke of Jade's sacrifice and his decision to become the new core of the planet, his words filled with both sorrow and admiration for the noble dragon's selfless act. The crowd listened in stunned silence, their hearts heavy with the realization of the cost of their newfound security.

But even in their grief, there was a sense of resolve among them, a determination to honor Jade's sacrifice and ensure that his legacy lived on. Together, they vowed to protect the realm that had been entrusted to them, to uphold the values that Jade had embodied, and to continue the fight against the forces of darkness that threatened their world.

The people who were mostly affected by Jade Sacrifice was Kieran and Susan, Kieran, in particular, could not contain the flood of emotions that overwhelmed him. Tears streamed down his face as he struggled to come to terms with the loss of his friend, Jade. He had fought alongside him, shared triumphs and defeats, and now he was gone, sacrificing himself for the greater good.

Susan, too, felt a deep sense of loss and sadness, her heart heavy with the weight of Jade's sacrifice. She had grown close to the mighty dragon during their time together in the hidden realm, and his absence left a void in her heart that she feared would never be filled.

But as they stood there, united in their grief and determination, a sense of unity washed over the crowd. They knew that they had to carry on, to honor Jade's memory and protect the realm that he had given his life for. And so, with heavy hearts but resolute spirits, they pledged to continue the fight, to ensure that Jade's sacrifice was not in vain.

As they entered the human realm, the humans, demons and the celestials felt a rich wave of hope and determination wash over them. They knew that rebuilding the human realm would not be easy, but they also knew that they had each other to lean on and support. The bond that had been forged through their shared trials and triumphs was stronger than ever, and they were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

Together, they set to work, combining their unique strengths and abilities to rebuild what had been lost. The humans brought their ingenuity and craftsmanship, the demons their strength and resilience, and the celestials their wisdom and magic. It was a daunting task, but they worked tirelessly, united in their goal to restore the human realm to its former glory.

As they toiled side by side, they found a renewed sense of purpose and camaraderie. The loss of Jade was still keenly felt, but they knew that he would have wanted them to carry on, to stand together in the face of adversity. And so they did, drawing strength from each other as they worked to create a new future for themselves and their world.

And as they labored, a new hope began to bloom in their hearts. The sacrifice of Jade had shown them the power of selflessness and unity, and they vowed to honor his memory by creating a world where such sacrifices were no longer necessary. A world where humans, demons, and celestials could coexist in harmony, their differences celebrated rather than feared.

As the days passed, Susan, the demoness who had grown close to Jade, found herself grappling with a secret that weighed heavily on her heart. During their time together in the hidden realm, before the battle that took Jade's life, she had discovered that she was pregnant with his child.

The news filled her with a mixture of emotions - joy at the prospect of bringing a new life into the world, and sorrow at the absence of Jade to share in this moment with her. She knew that the road ahead would be challenging, but she also felt a deep sense of determination to honor Jade's memory and raise their child in a world that he had fought so hard to protect.

Susan kept her secret close, unsure of how to broach the subject with the others who were still reeling from the loss of their friend and protector. But as they worked together to rebuild the human realm, she found solace in their shared purpose and the support of her companions.

As the days went on, and Susan's pregnancy became more pronounced, Kieran couldn't help but notice the subtle changes in her demeanor and appearance. He had always been observant, and the knowledge of Susan's secret weighed heavily on his mind.

One day, as they were discussing plans for the reconstruction of the human realm, Kieran found a moment alone with Susan. He looked into her eyes, filled with a mix of compassion and concern, and gently broached the subject that had been weighing on him.

"Susan," he began softly, "I can see that something is bothering you. And I can't help but notice... are you... pregnant?"

Susan's eyes widened in surprise, a mixture of shock and relief washing over her features. She hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly, her heart heavy with the weight of her confession.

"Yes, Kieran. I am pregnant," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "And... the child is Jade's."

Kieran's eyes widened in realization, the pieces of the puzzle clicking into place in his mind. He knew all too well the bond that had formed between Susan and Jade during their time in the hidden realm, and the truth of her words hit him with a mixture of sadness and understanding.

He reached out, placing a comforting hand on Susan's shoulder, his expression full of empathy and support. "I understand, Susan. And I am here for you, no matter what. We will all support you and this child, and honor Jade's memory in the process."

Susan felt a flood of emotions wash over her - gratitude for Kieran's understanding, sorrow for Jade's absence, and a deep sense of relief at finally sharing her burden with someone who cared. In that moment, she knew that she was not alone, that she had a family of friends who would stand by her side through the challenges that lay ahead.

And then, a thought occurred to Susan. She knew she needed to share this news with Jade's brother and sister, Liam and Mia. They had been through so much together, and she knew they deserved to know about the new life that was growing within her - a piece of Jade that would forever be a part of their family.

With a newfound resolve, Susan asked Kieran to accompany her as she sought out Liam and Mia. Together, they found the siblings deep in the midst of their own grief, trying to come to terms with the loss of their brother.

As Susan hesitantly approached them, emotions bubbling just beneath the surface, she took a deep breath and mustered the courage to speak. "Liam, Mia," she began, her voice steady but filled with emotion, "there is something I need to tell you."

As she revealed the truth of her pregnancy, Liam and Mia's expressions shifted from confusion to realization, their eyes widening in stunned disbelief. But as Susan explained that the child she carried was Jade's, a sense of understanding and acceptance settled over them.

Tears welled in Mia's eyes, a bittersweet smile tugging at her lips. "Jade's legacy lives on," she whispered, her voice filled with a mixture of sorrow and hope.

Liam, usually quiet and stoic, enveloped Susan in a heartfelt embrace, his eyes shining with unshed tears. "Thank you for telling us, Susan. We will always be here for you, and for this child."

And in that moment, surrounded by her friends and Jade's siblings, Susan felt a profound sense of peace and acceptance. She knew that she was not alone in this journey, that she had a family that extended beyond blood ties, united by love, loss, and the promise of new beginnings.

As the days passed, Susan's pregnancy progressed, and the time came for her to bring new life into the world. In the throes of labor, surrounded by her friends and Jade's siblings, Susan drew upon their support and strength to endure the pains of childbirth.

Liam and Mia stood by her side, offering words of encouragement and comfort as Susan pushed through the intense contractions. Kieran held her hand, his presence a steady anchor in the storm of emotions and physical exertion.

And finally, after what felt like an eternity but also a fleeting moment, Susan's child entered the world, a cry echoing through the room as the baby took its first breath.

Tears streamed down Susan's cheeks as she gazed at the tiny, precious life in her arms. In that moment, as she looked into the eyes of her child, she felt a profound sense of love and connection, a bond that transcended time and space.

Liam and Mia watched in awe, their own tears mingling with Susan's as they beheld the miracle of new life. The baby, a testament to the enduring legacy of Jade and the beginning of a new chapter for their makeshift family.
