Chapter 294: Wrath of the god...
Kragen POV
The cold night air bit at my skin as I strode away from the safe house, leaving Selene behind. Every step I took felt heavier, as though the weight of what I’d just done—what I was about to do—was dragging me down, threatening to pull me under. But I didn’t stop. I couldn’t. Not now.
My heart was a storm, and the anger that had been simmering beneath the surface for weeks finally broke free, moving through me like wildfire. I could still see the look on Selene’s face, the way her eyes had widened in fear as she realized what was happening to me. The way she had begged me to stay, to not leave her. But I couldn’t stay. I couldn’t explain it to her—how much I hated what I was becoming, how much I hated them for doing this to me.
The Fates. Those damned puppeteers pulling the strings of everyone’s lives.
Today, I was going to go up to the Ethereal Heaven and end this Selene chase once and for all. I closed my eyes, trying to summon a power that had been inside me for years.
It was a power I rarely used—one that always felt unnatural, as if it didn’t belong to me. But today, I didn’t care. Today, I would use it to find answers. And I would tear down the heavens if I had to.
In a blink, the world around me changed. I stood at the edge of the ethereal heaven, where the sky was a deep, swirling mass of colours—violets, blues, and golds blending in a way that made you feel both awed and insignificant. Tall towers that reached up to the sky, floated around. Ethereal attendants—moved through the air like wisps of cloud, their faces serene and detached. But I had no time for serenity.
I pushed past the first attendant I saw, ignoring their startled gasp as I stormed through the gleaming halls. The anger radiating from me was enough to make them recoil, but I didn’t stop. I didn’t care.
I had only one destination in mind: the Palace of the Fates.
The attendants at the massive doors moved to intercept me, their expressions alarmed, but I didn’t give them a chance to speak. With a snarl, I shoved them aside, and they stumbled back falling to the ground.
"Lord Kragen, you can’t just—" one of them started, but I cut them off with a growl.
