Chapter 16 Missing
Kaelith closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the soft golden glow of the candlelight reflected in his grey eyes.
He scanned everywhere, a little taken aback by the sudden change of environment. He was back in his mother’s room, and he was lying in his crib.
He sat up before reaching for the railings of the crib, pushing himself up. His gaze fell on his mother, who was still lying unconscious on the bed. He pursed his lips together in irritation.
"White Lotus, why must you interfere in my business? Do you really think it is easy to seal my powers?"
’You are really exceptional, at least you managed to seal my powers. Which is the first time since two existences combined.’ He sighed. ’However, you have suffered a backlash. You were smart to use the blood from your heart, as I was reborn with your blood coursing through my veins.’
He sighed again, ’I must say, you are worthy to be my mother in this lifetime. But I need to take my revenge. I need to take back what they have stolen from me, and I need to burn down their legacies and everything they hold dear.’ His eyes swept over her frame.
’If you are good, and don’t interfere with my plans, I’ll spare your life because of the bond we share.’
He sat down in his crib. ’That must be my domain. However, it has been locked away, creating a mirage, a world that is neither real nor fake. Does this mean my powers are not fully sealed?’
His brows furrowed. ’So a piece of the Chaos artifact had been inside me all this while, and I didn’t even notice. The artifact of Chaos is a bridge between life and death. It has the power to destroy the universe, but it also has the power to create one. This must be the reason why I was able to reincarnate again.’
The door creaked open. He snapped his head to the door as Plum hurried inside, her long dress sweeping over the floor.
"Kael! You are awake!" she cried in joy, hastening her steps toward him. She carried him in her arms, pinching his cheeks gently.
