"First, I'll explain to all of you what is the bow which Katherine was using, it is a weapon from Nero's world, it's called a soul weapon, it is named that because as soon as it chooses a master it will be linked to his soul and it won't change a master no matter what happened..." here Nero interrupted by saying:

"But this rule doesn't work with you, right?"

"Well, I have my own ways to deal with it. Anyway as I was saying soul weapons are made by special ability holders in that world, those ability holders have the ability to make weapons, you can say that those abilities are production type abilities.

"By using rare and special materials they make their life's masterpieces, soul weapons, before a soul weapon chooses a master, it's maker can add a part of someone's ability in it, like you Nero, what was the ability which was given to the bow before it fall to my hands?"

"It was plants manipulation, in a reduce of three meters around where the arrow hits, thorns would sprout, injuring everyone in that radius."

"As he said, the main ability which was add to the bow was plants manipulation, but in the end it became just thorns coming from underground.

"But if the maker of the soul weapon don't gave it an ability, or if somehow the owner changes, then the bow will have the ability of the new owner, in our case you Katherine, you remember the lightning that appeared each time the arrow hit something, right?"

Katherine nodded.

"That was because, if I'm not mistaken your ability is lightning manipulation, anyway, let's leave that for later.

"You see even though everyone can give a soul weapon a special ability, they all have some abilities which are shared between all of them, the first one is: when they have a master no one else can use them, the second is they grow by feeding on the blood of strong living beings, and the third is, the more they grow the stronger their owners abilities become, and that is what I meant when I said what happened to you was my doing, you see you had awakened an ability."

When he said that not just Katherine but everyone, except Nero was surprised.

"You mean I have an ability now?" Katherine asked in disbelief.

"Yes, you see when I first saw the purple lighting appear around you arrow, I got this idea, if, as long as the soul weapon grow and your ability also grow, would there be a day when your ability would awaken? of course it was just a speculation and I didn't really expect it to work, that's why I kept it a secret from you as I didn't want to give you false hope, fortunately it really awaken... It's just that..." at the end of his words Dan showed a contemplating expression.

"Just what? is there something wrong?" Katherine asked worriedly.

"Oh... No, sorry nothing is wrong, the thing is, your ability awakened way to fast, I think I have an explanation, it's just that this explanation is way too unnatural, but for some weird reason it is stuck in my mind since it appeared." hearing the worry in Katherine's voice Dan apologized first before explaining what he meant.

"Just say it, who knows it might be true." Randy said.

"Yes you are right."

Dan nodded his head before turning his head to Nero and asking:

"Nero, is the Purple Empress still alive,"

Nero sowed a confused expression before saying:

"Well the Purple Empress died five or six hundred years ago." Nero didn't understand why Dan asked him about such a weird thing, the Purple Empress died ages ago if not for her being one of the strongest gods in history he wouldn't have been able to know who she is.

"Five to six hundred years ago..." Dan murmured to himself before lifting his head and saying to Nero:

"What about her real name, do you know it?".

"No it is unknown."

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

Hearing that Dan looked at the others and said:

"You see the memories that I have of your world is the oldest, in my mind it is as if they were the first memories there, and after that comes memories of other worlds, the newest ones are of Randy's world, and I didn't tell you this before but my ability in your world was super memory, whatever I saw was kept in my mind I wouldn't forget anything at all, and finally in that world the purple empress was still alive, and I think that you Katherine are... The Purple Empress."

This time everyone even Nero was surprised, silence fall on the room for quite a while before Katherine said:

"But the world that I have memories of is that peaceful world not Nero's or any of other worlds."

"Yeah I know, but here are some clues of why I thought so, you all know about the parallel worlds and we also know how it is true that all the parallel worlds had combined from Randy, after all his worlds is the best in terms of technology and science.

"But did you all forget one thing? In the parallel worlds theory there are supposed to be different us in those worlds with different lives, but what if, just what if? Instead of all those different us living in all those parallel worlds at the same time, whenever you die in a parallel world you go to another, this can explain why we have m

emories of us living in different worlds.

"I made this theory because you see the memories which I have of those parallel worlds always ends with me dying in one and starts with when I started understanding the world as a child in another, and also the first world which I have memories of is Nero's world, where I had the super memory ability, which means that it is the reason why I have memories of all those worlds while you only have memories of only one.

"So if we go by all this, that means that the peaceful world you, Katherine have memories of was the last world you lived in before this one, and not the one world you lived in.

"And also the people with lightning ability are rare not to mention purple lightning as there was only one person like that in all the history of the abilities world, and that one was the Purple Empress, and seeing how you and me are in the same time in our earth and how I lived in the same time as the Purple Empress I think that the chance of this being true is big, don't you think?"

"So if what you said is true then... She's the Purple Empress." Nero asked as he massaged his temple.

"Yes, that what I think at least." Dan nodded his head.

"That's just... unbelievable." Nero sighed.

He really didn't know what to think anymore, Dan's words were unbelievable and surprising, but for some reason the more he thought about then the more he felt as if they were true.

"Who... Who is this Purple Empress? Why are you showing such expressions?" Katherine asked with a tumbling voice.

She didn't know anything about this Purple Empress but from how Nero and Dan acted when they talked about her, it was apparent that she was everything but normal.

"Well she's just one of the strongest Gods in the history of our world, it was said that in her time, even if the other six Gods worked together they wouldn't be able to beat her, she was simply a world ruler at her time." Nero said with bitter smile.

After hearing what he said everyone in the room turned their heads toward Katherine, the later had a blank look on her face she didn't know how to act to what she had just heard.

"Well that's just speculation anyway so don't think a lot about it, and even if that's true it will only mean that you will have the ability to protect yourself and protect us, after all even if we are able to leave this world no one can say if the other world which we will find ourselves in won't be worst then this, after all there are many worlds in my mind which are at least as dangerous as this one, some might even be worse in some way or another, so there really is no harm no matter how you look at it, now can you show me your ability." Dan said after seeing that look on her face.

"How do I show it to you?" Katherine asked, Dan's words made her calm down, and she felt kind of happy, who knew that she had such a strong ability.

"Here can you touch that wooden chair for me." Dan asked, after all wood had a strong electric resistant, so that would show him how strong her ability is.

Katherine nodded her head and moved toward the chair before touching it gently with her finger, as soon as her finger touched the chair lightning covered it and the whole chair become one big mass of lightning, Katherine hurriedly lifted her finger and as she did that the lightning disappeared leaving only charcoal that fall and became dust in the end.

Silence fall on the room, even Dan had a dull expression, he absolutely didn't expect that to happen, Katherine's ability was way beyond his expectations.

"Well for now... Nero you were a royal guard, right? it will be your task to teach her how to control her powers, till then... Don't let anyone touch her, ok?" Dan said.

"Hey, is this some kind of punishment, you want me to get fried? this is no joke you know, I could die." Nero shouted as soon as he heard Dan's words.

"Yes, I know that's why I choose you, after all you are better than any of us, and I know that you are a careful person, you won't make any mistakes, and don't worry even if you don't have a technique to help her control her powers, I have many in my mind which can help you."

"If you have that many techniques in your mind why don't you help her then, why throw it to me." Nero said.

"Well I have a lot to do." Dan said with a serious expression.

"What things? you simply don't want to do it." Nero said in misery.

"Think whatever you want, it is your job so get it done." Dan turned his head after saying that.

Nero could do nothing except looking at Katherine and saying:

"Follow me, we will need to deal with your problem fast if things stay like they are right now, you won't even be able to eat." after that he left the room without even waiting from her to say anything.

Of course he could have acted as if he didn't hear or even care about what Dan said, but he knew that for some weird reason, the whole group was built with Dan as the center, and even though no one said it he was the leader, and he also didn't find Dan's way of dealing with things that bad.

Katherine followed him with quick footsteps, she didn't complaon, she wanted to control her power fast enough, for no other reason except that she wanted enough power to protect herself.

At that moment when the one eyed dragon's leg was just a few centimeters away from her neck, that panic and fear she felt... She didn't want to feel it ever again.

After they left Dan moved to one corner of the room and he lifted something from there, surprisingly it was the soul weapon, the green bow, and then he turned his head to Anie and said:

"Anie do you have a needle or something like that?"

Anie nodded her head and took a little box from her pocket, opening it, there was swaying kit she took a needle from it and handed it to Dan.
