Chapter 14: Hidden Secrets

Maer begins to focus her cosmic energy around herself to the point where she was capable of offsetting her neos energy to the place besides her utilizing her shape and her to create an exact replica of herself. She does this four times, giving herself aa total of four Cosmic energy clones. The four Cosmic energy clones closed in on Wendy, their combined strength and coordination threatened to overwhelm her. Blow after blow landed, testing her endurance and resilience. But amidst the flurry of attacks, a flicker of realization ignited within Wendy's mind.

She focused her attention, honing her senses to their peak. Time seemed to slow down as she analyzed the clones' movements, their patterns, and the underlying energy that fueled them. With a surge of determination, Wendy identified a fatal flaw in their synchronization, a brief moment of vulnerability.

Seizing the opportunity, Wendy swiftly dodged an incoming strike and unleashed a concentrated burst of cosmic energy towards one of the clones. The attack found its mark, disrupting the clone's cohesion and causing it to dissipate into nothingness.

Emboldened by her success, Wendy continued to exploit the weakness she had discovered. She weaved through the onslaught of attacks, evading and countering with precision. One by one, the clones fell, their power diminishing as each dissipated.

As the final clone vanished, the battlefield fell into a momentary lull. Maer, observing the outcome of Wendy's strategic maneuver, watched in awe.

Wendy's resolve solidified, she knew that she had to confront the ultimate challenge standing before her—Maer, the Deity Queen herself. With a heavy heart, she steeled herself for what lay ahead. The clash between the sisters was inevitable.

With newfound insights into Maer's techniques and fighting style, Wendy began to move with a fluidity and grace that mirrored her opponent. She anticipated Maer's strikes, fully evading it and countering with calculated precision. Blow after blow was exchanged, the clash of their powers creating a dazzling spectacle of cosmic energy.

Wendy's determination pushed her to her limits, her every move a testament to her growth and resilience. She drew upon her deep connection to the cosmos, channeling its energy to augment her attacks. Her strikes held a newfound strength, fueled by a combination of her own power and the knowledge she had acquired from the battle with the clones.

Maer senses Wendy's sudden surge in skill, responded with a ferocity that matched her determination. The two engaged in a fierce dance of power and strategy, each maneuvering to gain the upper hand. It was a clash of equals, a testament to their shared bloodline and the strength that resided within their souls.

As the battle intensified, Wendy's heart grew heavy with conflicting emotions. She couldn't shake the image of Maer, the one family member she longed to rebuild a connection with. But she also recognized the importance of this confrontation, the necessity of resolving the deep-seated conflicts that had plagued their family for far too long.

With a surge of resolve, Wendy pushed herself further, her strikes becoming more precise and forceful. She sought an opening, a chance to land a telling blow on Maer. But the Deity Queen proved to be an elusive opponent, her defenses resilient and her counterattacks swift.

Time seemed to stretch as the battle raged on, the clash of their powers echoing through the air. Wendy's mind raced, analyzing each move, seeking a weakness to exploit. And then, in a fleeting moment, she saw it—a minuscule opening in Maer's defense.

With lightning speed, Wendy launched herself forward, her cosmic energy surging around her. She struck, her attack finding its mark, but it was not a crippling blow. Instead, it served as a reminder—a testament to the strength of their bond, even in the midst of conflict.

Maer staggered back, her eyes wide with surprise and realization. The blow had actually landed, albeit being weak. Maer clenches her fists on the realization that Wendy was improving her combat skills, but Maer wasn't going to allow this to continue.

Maer's Aura of blue appears around her and she increases her power for just an instant, knocking Wendy upwards with an using tremendous force, and sending her flying towards the beach with one powerful kick. With an incredible boost of speed, she catches up to Wendy in a matter of seconds to slam her down into the ground.

Wendy gasped for breath, the impact of Maer's attack went through her body. She struggled to rise from the ground, her limbs heavy with exhaustion. Pain radiated from every inch of her being, but her spirit remained unyielding.

As Wendy slowly got to her feet, Maer stood over her, a complex mix of emotions etched on her face. Anger, frustration, and even a trace of sorrow flickered in her eyes.

"Maer, please..." Wendy's voice trembled, her words strained. "We don't have to continue down this path. We can find another way, a path of healing and forgiveness."

"No, Wendy," she replied, her voice filled with Anguish "We cannot go back. Too much has happened, too many wounds have been inflicted. This is the only way forward!"

Wendy's heart drops deeper, her hope waning for a brief moment. But she refused to let despair overtake her. She had come too far, endured too much, to give up now.

Summoning her inner strength, Wendy mustered the resolve to face her once again. Despite the pain coursing through her body, she knew she had to continue the fight—not just for her own sake, but for the sake of their fractured family.

With determination burning in her eyes, Wendy unleashed a surge of cosmic energy, infusing herself with its power. The air sparked with electricity as she met Maer's gaze, unyielding and resolute.

"No, Maer," Wendy declared, her voice firm. "I refuse to accept that this is the only way!"

Maer, her fury unyielding, unleashed the full force of her power. Wendy's body trembled as she absorbed the devastating blows from Maer. Bones cracked, and pain seared through her being with each strike. She gritted her teeth, refusing to yield even as her strength waned. Her body crumpled under the relentless assault, and she found herself sprawled on the ground, surrounded by the ominous presence of the neos energy clones.

She forms 4 Neos energy Clones, and command the clones to unleash the destructive might of her attack,

"Nebula Stream" The air sparked with anticipation as the beams of white-colored energy came at Wendy from each clone, forming a torrential cascade of cosmic energy. The earth beneath Wendy's body trembled, and the sheer power of the attack shook through the beach.

The explosion engulfed the surroundings, its intensity blotting out the sky and casting a veil of smoke and debris across the beach. The force of the impact tore through the landscape, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

Wendy's body lay motionless, battered and broken. The once vibrant spark in her eyes had dimmed, but her spirit remained unyielding, the unwavering belief in redemption still burning within her. In that moment, Her voice, barely a whisper, struggled to break through the pain. Through gritted teeth and with unfathomable determination, Wendy managed to utter, "I... won't... let... our family... be consumed... by darkness..."

Her words hung in the air, a testament to her unyielding spirit even in the face of overwhelming adversity. Though her body lay battered and broken, her unwavering resolve shone through, a beacon of hope in the midst of despair.

In a brief moment, Wendy catches herself, regaining her consciousness as soon as she was finished with her statement, and she launches herself upwards from the ground quickly, through all the pain and suffering she throws a quick blow that even catches the Deity Queen off-guard; however, in a surprising turn of events, Wendy's feeble attempt to strike at Maer missed by a wide margin, her weakened state hindering her accuracy a great deal. Maer, with sadness and in her eyes, reached out and gently caught Wendy's flailing arm.

Maer held Wendy in her arms, and she spoke in a hushed tone, knowing that no one else was present on the beach at this moment to hear their conversation.

"Wendy," she began, giving a long pause before her next statement, "I have a secret that I've kept hidden deep within my heart."

With her grip still firm but gentle, Maer continued, her voice trembling ever so slightly.

"You see, Wendy, in my heart, there has always been a special place reserved just for you. Above all my children, there is a deep affection that I hold for you. It's a love that surpasses mere blood ties."

Wendy's eyes widened in surprise, her pain momentarily forgotten as she hears Maer's confession. Conflicting emotions swirled within her, mingling with the lingering pain of her injuries. She had always yearned for a closer bond with her family, especially with Maer, but the walls between them had seemed insurmountable.

Maer's voice quivered "I have watched you grow, Wendy, with a sense of pride and admiration. Your resilience, your unwavering spirit, and your beliefs... they have always stirred something within me. And yet, I have failed to express my love, to bridge the gap that has kept us apart."

Tears welled up in Wendy's eyes as she continued to listen.

"Wendy, I want nothing more than to embrace you fully, to mend the wounds that have kept us apart. But I am bound by duty, by the expectations placed upon me as the Deity Queen and as a mother to Howl."

Wendy's heart sank. Maer's words pressed upon her fragile hope. She understood them, the delicate balance Maer had to maintain. The rules and traditions of the Celeston family loomed over their bond, demanding conformity and strength.

"I have always been hard on you, Wendy, because I have feared that showing my true affection would compromise my role and the stability of our family. Howl, as the Prince, is burdened with his own set of expectations and responsibilities. If he were to discover the depths of my affection for you, it could lead to a rebellion, a fracture within our family."

A bittersweet understanding settled between them, a shared acceptance of the complexities they faced. Wendy's heart ached with the desire to have the love and acceptance of her family, but she understands now that the circumstances might never allow for it fully.

Maer's grip tightened, her touch both comforting and filled with a sense of farewell. "I want you to know, Wendy, that even if we cannot openly express our bond, my love for you will forever remain in the depths of my heart. It is a love that transcends the roles we are assigned, the titles we bear. And perhaps, in time, when the winds of change blow through our family, we can find a way to reconcile our hearts."

Tears continued to stream down Wendy's face, with her heart heavy. She had yearned for Maer's love, for the connection that had always seemed just out of reach. And yet, in that moment, she felt a glimmer of it, a flicker of hope that even within the constraints of their circumstances, their love had not been in vain.

Maer released her grip, Wendy steadied herself, her body still battered and bruised. She understood the fragile nature of their conversation, the need for secrecy and restraint. With a whispered promise of resilience and determination, Wendy gathered the strength to rise, the ember of love burning within her.

"Thank you, Maer," Wendy murmured

Maer takes out a small, spherical device with a sleek metallic exterior. She throws it. As it leaves their hand, the device swiftly expands and releases an item, revealing a compact, high-tech chamber. Wendy's eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the device. She had heard about the technological advancements on Planet Neo's, but she had never seen these items before.

Maer's voice softened as she explained, "I obtained this healing chamber from the scientists on Planet Neo's. It is a remarkable invention, capable of accelerating the healing process and providing relief when the access to medical facilities is limited. I thought it might be of use to you, Wendy, especially after the intense battle we just endured. Don't tell anyone I gave this to you."

Gratitude welled up within Wendy as she accepted the healing chamber, carefully examining its sleek design and intuitive interface. It was a testament to the ingenuity of the scientists on Planet Neo's, their commitment to enhancing the well-being of their people.

"Thank you, Maer," Wendy said, her voice filled with sincerity.

Maer nodded, pride coming to her face.

"Take care of yourself, Wendy. Your journey is not an easy, or possible one. Just remember one thing, this conversation between us? It never happened. Consider this conversation erased from existence. 'You were completely crushed by the Deity Queen Maer, and barely managed to survive. Seeking to live, you escaped and came across this device laying on the ground.' My power is not to be underestimated. Cross me, and reveal any of this, and I won't hesitate to kill you, do you understand?"

Wendy's expression hardened as she wipes the tears from her eyes. She lowered her gaze, acknowledging Maer's warning.

"I understand, Maer.I will keep our conversation a secret, as if it never took place. My lips will remain sealed."

Though her spirit yearned to rebel against such control, Wendy knew that survival necessitated compliance in this moment. She would tread carefully from now on, concealing the truth of their encounter deep within her being. The healing chamber became a symbol of the silent pact between them, a reminder of the delicate balance she now found herself in.

As Maer turned away, the air thick with an unspoken understanding, Wendy's mind raced with conflicting emotions. Fear, frustration, and a lingering sense of injustice intertwined within her, but she swallowed them down, burying them beneath a facade of compliance.

Her path ahead remained shrouded in uncertainty, but Wendy vowed to navigate the treacherous waters with caution.

In the quiet solitude of the healing chamber, Wendy closed her eyes, her heart filled with both the pain of the past and the hope for the future. As the advanced technology worked its magic, mending her broken bones and soothing her battered body, she vowed to honor the hidden love she had discovered, to continue striving for reconciliation and the possibility of a brighter tomorrow for her family on Planet Neo's.
