Chapter 180: One Card Left
Alexandra fisted her hands to stop them from shaking. And still, they couldn’t stop shaking. Her sword dropped from her hand as she couldn’t find the energy to hold it.
[He’s gone... My husband... He’s...My friends, everyone... They’re... It’s my fault...]
She couldn’t wrap her mind around it. The fact she was the reason for this to happen, because she put her trust in the wrong person once again, made her will to live to dwindle. She wanted to go where everyone else is. She wanted to give up and accept her defeat.
[It’s my fault...]
When she looked deeply into the Darkness’ appearances, she found that the Darkness only used two forms to present itself to anyone—Calantar and Inanis. She figured out that Calantar and Inanis are the two personalities of the Darkness. Calantar is the entity who can love and help in the creation, while Inanis is the other side of Calantar who is jealous and was responsible for all the destruction.
When she saw the future in which the darkness swallows everything, she thought she will make that happen according to her wish. And that was why when Arioch stole the Orb, she was not that stressed. She wanted him to do that.
She had already split Inanis and Calantar inside the Orb before Arioch took the Orb away. The Hashomer is the sword that can split anything, even souls. She didn’t know that until then. But she put her trusty sword for her use.
She appealed to the goodness of Calantar, and in exchange for Calantar’s promise that Calantar would stop Inanis, she made a deal with Calantar for a meeting with her father.
Inanis came into being only after her father started ignoring Calantar after he found love. She thought a good talk with her father would make their relationship better. By making Calantar understand her father, she thought Inanis could be weakened. She thought by solving the issue between her father and Calantar, the universe will return to how peaceful it once was.
She trusted her father. She thought her father would talk to Calantar and help her return to how she once was.
