Chapter 44
The small secluded spot was filled with lust, and the two were consumed by it. Katherine wasn't this wild, but in that moment, she felt free and alive. It was a side of herself she had never explored before, and it left her feeling exhilarated yet slightly guilty. She was emitting a faint energy as Ethan also consumed this feeling; his mind was going black as he continued to pleasure Katarine; his eyes soon became blank as his pupils dilated; and his body moved with an almost primal instinct. The intensity of the moment was overwhelming, and they both knew that this forbidden passion would change everything between them.
Katarine voice was getting louder as Ethan rammed his manhood into her opening. Ethan would cover her moans by kissing her; they were like wild animals in the throes of passion, unable to resist the magnetic pull between them. The raw, unbridled desire they shared was a force to be reckoned with, consuming them both in a whirlwind of ecstasy. Until the Katarines horn manifested, and this was even the start of their trouble, the air blew hard and the sky turned dark with an ominous energy that foretold of the impending storm. The once fiery passion between them now seemed to flicker and wane, overshadowed by a sense of unease and uncertainty that lingered in the air.
The energy they were both creating was attracting unknown forces within the area, stirring up a dangerous mix of emotions and power that threatened to spiral out of control. As they grappled with the sudden shift in their dynamic, creatures that hide within the embrace of darkness felt their chaotic energy. It was enough to call them out and seek this energy—creatures that were only seen in old books, some of which were fairy tales and legends—and to scare kids,
but now they were becoming a terrifying reality. The once peaceful night was now filled with the ominous presence of these mythical creatures, drawn to the powerful energy being unleashed by the two individuals.
The secret mini park surrounding it, which was filled with natural elements, was the perfect place for these creatures to hide and seek refuge for hundreds of years. Creatures that could bend light and cast magical energy to distort mortals beings eyesight and hide them from humans for many generations were now being torn apart.
As the creatures emerged from their hiding spots, Ethan and Katarine's swirling energy was the reason these creatures were now being seen out in the open, as panic was slowly consuming the mini park as people were seeing these creatures openly out in the public. Katarine was unaware that she was the key to opening a small gap between two words. Some might see this as ridiculous and impossible..
For centuries old books that were written, my dark mages and sorcerers had hinted at the existence of a parallel universe that could only be accessed by sacrificing innocent blood or an enormous amount of divine and chaotic energy . Katarine's unique bloodline held the chotic energy to create a small opening for this parallel universe to be accessed without the need for a sacrifice of life.
But the opening was still too small, and her clan was hoping that this would be enough to restart the conflict with the seraph. Because this act was breaking the ancient truce between the two realms, it risked catastrophic consequences for both worlds. Katarine's clan believed the possibility to regain their lost will and reclaim their true purpose, and that was engaging in war that they long for and that accessing the parallel universe was worth the risk of angering the seraph.
Having peace and living a mundane life with freedom in a weak and frail body bored them after many years of desperately trying to consummate and give birth to a female child multiple times but failing to gain the lineage that carries both demon blood and human DNA. The allure of power and the promise of a legacy strong enough to rival the gods drove them to pursue the dangerous path of war in the parallel universe, despite the potential consequences. The desire for a child who could carry on their unique lineage fueled their determination to take such risks, no matter the cost. Finally, it happened as Leonhardt Maier Siegert 112 wife gave birth to Katarine, the last serving daughter of Leonhardt.
She was born differently. Her ability to control the flame was unprecedented , unlike that of her other 95 older siblings, who were burned to death and consumed with madness and died. Katarine's extraordinary power set her apart from her siblings, marking her as the chosen one to fulfill her clan's dreams to regain their glorious war legacy and reclaim their rightful place in the Abyss.
Her clan molded her to be like an ordinary person; she understood her legacy and saw that this ability of hers was a gift and a curse that she needed to overcome. She knew she wasn't ordinary but insisted on living as one, as the joy being human was more alluring than that of being an awakened being.
This was the term that her clan orchestrated to teach her, hiding the real reason and manipulating many facts surrounding her real identity as an awakened being. Despite the internal conflict, she embraced her humanity and chose to navigate the complexities of her dual nature with grace and resilience. The journey to uncovering her true self would be a challenging one, but she was determined to find her place in the world, regardless of the obstacles in her path.
Katarine wasn't that different from others in her clan, but she knew deep down that there was something unique about her that set her apart. She chooses to play a naïve and innocent role in her interactions with others, concealing the depth of her knowledge and power to avoid drawing unwanted attention. Despite the façade she maintained, Katarine was always aware of the potential consequences of revealing her true self to those around her.
It was a complicated move , but for many years she was able to successfully navigate the delicate balance between blending in and standing out. However, as she grew older, Katarine began to question whether hiding her true self was truly worth the effort. She wasn't able to feel loved and enjoy life like the rest. Having a person hold her and kiss her was so hard to obtain, as many got hurt along the way. She realized that by constantly hiding who she was, she was missing out on genuine connections and experiences that could bring her true happiness. The fear of rejection and judgment began to feel less daunting compared to the emptiness she felt from not being able to fully be herself.
After many failed attempts, this was the first time she finally woke up and fed her hunger by releasing her chaotic energy, sadly without knowing it was consuming Ethan life. The love she wanted to have was finally fulfilled, but with a heavy cost, as Ethan's health deteriorated from the strain of her chaotic energy. She will soon learn that true happiness cannot come without a heavy price.
As she soon grappled with the consequences of her actions, Ethan was a sacrificial lamb, a person with a strong mental and physical physique to withstand her chaotic energy. This was something she never learned from her family members. The only thing they keep telling that she is the only person who could revive their glory and regain the right to return to their real home.
