Chapter 35 - Destruction and Beginning

As Elian stepped into the cave, his gaze swept over the familiar walls. Everything was just as he remembered—or almost. Consumed by memories, he noticed that the things he had once hidden with care had changed. The medicines had long lost their potency, the gold had dulled, and the awards were covered in dust and mold. Everything seemed forgotten by time.

But one object remained untouched.

His sword—the very blade he had left here so many years ago—was still embedded in stone. Mold clung to it, but despite its appearance, Elian could feel the familiar aura radiating from it. He stepped forward, his fingers pausing on the hilt.

— "The time has come," he whispered, reaching out.

He drew the sword, feeling the power sealed within it surge through him once more. This blade was far more than just a weapon. It was an extension of Elian himself. He swung it, and the powerful arc sliced through the air, cutting down stone and mold alike. In that instant, the blade cleaved through the cave, and the force of destruction reached the surface of the water above.

Elian stood amidst the rubble, his eyes glowing with determination.

— "Time to have some fun," he said with a smirk, as a new chapter of power and destruction awaited him.
