V.1 Ch.9 - Darkness

*Location Unknown*

I remember talking to Violetta’s mom when I lost my consciousness. When I regained it I was in a pitch black area. It reminded me of where I was before I ran into the field of flowers. I stood up and looked around. It honestly did no good though, because all I could see was black. I walked aimlessly for what seemed like an eternity. I was getting frustrated and hoping for another white light like before.

As soon as the thought crossed my mind the black room did a complete one eighty and turned solid white. I could actually see myself, but that was it. Everything else was a vast expanse of white. I looked around again for a minute before I noticed a solid black orb floating around. It was bobbing up and down and swishing to and fro like a little kid playing.

I tilted my head to the side a bit and then straightened back up before I walked over towards the orb. When I was about a hundred yards away the orb froze in place. I stopped moving and then stared at it. A few seconds later it started to rapidly fly towards me. I tried to move backwards, but the orb was too fast.

It slammed into my body and knocked me to the ground. When I landed on my back the air was knocked out of me. I groaned and then felt something soft on my face. I opened my eyes and noticed that the black orb was rubbing itself against my face like a cat. It was even vibrating like it was purring. Shortly after that it pounced on my forehead and then phased into it.

I instantly felt an unbearable amount of pain radiate from my head and spread throughout my body. I arched my back and screamed at the top of my lungs. I felt like I was being burned from the inside out. Darkness spread from my body and started to turn the surrounding white into black. It was like a poison slowly spreading through the body.

The pain continued and the burning feeling finally hit the outside of my body. Pitch black flames sprouted from my body. I fought through the pain and managed to stand up, but I couldn’t put the flames out or stop the darkness from spreading. Thoughts of destruction, murder, rape, and all other sorts of evil flew through my brain.

Images of me killing innocent people, raping women, and destroying the planet appeared in the darkness spreading around me. It looked like I was watching a movie being projected on the ground and walls. The part that horrified me the most was that I was smiling throughout everything.

The images of murder showed and I could see myself walking through the streets of a city casually lopping heads off with a blood red sword. I even had a human head hanging from my waist. At further inspection I saw that it was Violetta’s head. It was frozen with looks of fear and sadness.

I felt a massive thump in my chest. The images switched to me raping innocent women. I was smiling and laughing like a mad man as I violated women after women. There was another thump in my chest before the scene quickly switch. I saw myself floating in space, but I was different. I had pitch black angelic like wings and a pitch black halo floating above my head.

I had a sneer on my face as I reached my hand out. I was pointing my palm towards the Earth and made a gripping motion like I was palming a basketball. All of a sudden I started to grip and the Earth started to crumble. Cracks spread through the Earth’s crust and magma shot up through them. I continued to squeeze until my hand made a fist. Once the fist was complete, the Earth turned into dust and scattered throughout space.

The me that was in the image looked at his hand before staring straight at me. It sneered and then spoke, “Murder.” I shook my head and it spoke again, “Rape.” I shook my head violently, “Destruction!” I shook my head and then screamed, “NO!” As soon as I screamed there was a thumping in my chest before my heart started to radiate a bright white light.

The black flames on my body were extinguished and the darkness started to recede. The other me in the image had one of his wings turn white and his halo turned gray. He then smiled at me before speaking, “Rule.” After he said that one word the images disappeared and the darkness was gone.

I fell back on my ass and was breathing heavy. I looked around and checked out my body, but everything was back to normal. No darkness and no bright white light. I kept trying to catch my breath for some reason while I spoke, “What the fuck was that?” There was a voice that appeared out of nowhere, “I can answer that Caelum.” It was a beautiful sounding voice that radiated throughout the room.

I looked around before speaking, “Who are you? Where are you?” The voice let out a cute little laugh, “One question at a time.” I swallowed some saliva, “Who are you?” The voice spoke again, “Hmm that is a very good question Caelum. I have been known by many names throughout the years such as Pangu, NuWa, God, Allah, and many other names, but I have one that I grew fond of and that is Void.”

I stiffened up for a split second before speaking again, “Wait. You’re god?” The beautiful voice laughed and then spoke, “To certain religions, yes.”  There were multiple questions running through my head at this moment. I looked around the white void and asked a question, “So you said you could tell me what I just witnessed, right?” She giggled before answering, “Yup.”

I raised an eyebrow, “Well, what was it then?” She answered really quickly, “It was a vision shown to you by your powers.” My powers wanted me to see something so dreadful as that? She spoke again, “Well, to be specific your darkness power did.” As soon as she said that it did make a little sense, because my darkness power is one of pure evil.

She spoke again before I could speak, “When you kept going against the darkness’s wishes your light power helped you out. The being that you saw right before the vision disappeared is the being that you can become if you can balance the two powers. It won’t be easy, but if you can do it, then calling you a monster wouldn’t be too much of a stretch.”

She sounded a little excited at the last part, but I really couldn’t tell. I spoke again, “So, why are you here exactly?” She answered quickly, “Me? Hmm, because I am bored.” I nearly face planted, “Bored!?” She laughed at my expression, “Yes bored, when I am not protecting the universes it is pretty boring at home.” I was instantly interested, “Protecting the universes?” She didn’t speak for a moment before she suddenly sighed, “Yeah, there are things you really don’t need to know right now, but I will tell you that the universes are always under constant threat. That’s the reason for the little competition that the Universal Powers put on. The being that can control more than half the universes will have a chance to fight beside me.”

I raised an eyebrow, “What are we fighting exactly?” She laughed, “That is something you don’t need to know right now. I will tell you that you need to be careful.” I furrowed my brows, “Why is that?” She poke in a serious tone, “Because the powers you control are the ultimate powers on the darkness and light powers. They actually control everything under the darkness and light. You control the darkness, which includes powers like death, necromancy, dark, poison, among many others. You control the light, which includes powers like healing, sound, light, lightning, and many others. Due to the fact that you control both the darkness and the light you can control neutral powers such as fire, earth, wind, water, and etc. To shorten this explanation you can basically control every power in the universes.”

I was shocked, “Every power?” She laughed, “Well, almost every power. There are two powers found in the universes as well as outside of them. That is the power of chaos and void. I control the powers of void and all the others in the universes.” I nodded my head, this is really good information to have. I looked around again, “Is there anything else I should know, like why I should be careful? You really didn’t answer that completely.”

She laughed, “You’re right. The reason you should be careful is because your power of darkness can consume you if you let it. Only when you can fully control your light powers will you be able to completely control all of your dark powers. Of course, this doesn’t mean you can’t use your dark powers. It’s just that the over usage of them will not be good for you.” I understood what she was saying about being careful now.

I asked another question, “Why is the power of darkness in my head, while the power of light is in my heart.” She spoke in a sweet voice, “Because most of the good in humans are in their hearts, while the evilness in them usually comes from their brains. There are some humans with evil in their hearts, but they are usually corrupted by the thoughts in their brains, whether they are their own or put there by others.”

I didn’t say anything for a minute as I sorted things out in my head. All of a sudden there was a bright purple flash and I was greeted with the sight of a purple blob in the shape of a woman. She walked over to me with her hips swinging. Her breasts were bouncing slightly as she walked. Her face was perfect, well as much as a purple blob woman’s face could be. Her eyes were solid purple and I felt like she was staring into my soul.

She stopped a few feet in front of me before she spoke, “As you have probably guessed this isn’t my true appearance.” I didn’t say anything so she continued speaking, “I choose this form for when I want to speak on a more personal basis.” She reached her hands out and grabbed my face, “Your darkness power has fully awakened and you can use it, but remember what I said about overuse. When a beings power is awakened they are able to use it and everything under it, but it will still take some practice to perfect it.”

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

She smiled at me, “Keep your heart like it is and you will have no problems controlling the darkness.” She leaned forward and kissed me on the forehead, “Good luck.” After that everything disappeared and I was staring at Violetta’s mom. I felt something wet on my face and I went to wipe it. My hand came back with blood.

I looked back up at the owner and apologized, “I’m sorry. Did I do something bad again?” She laughed, “Not, unless you count sending Violetta to cloud nine as something bad.” I looked over at Violetta and saw that she was lying on the bed behind me asleep. She had a very content smile on her face and her body was slightly twitching.

I looked back towards the owner, “What happened ma’am?” She laughed, “My lineage has always reacted to certain stimulus in a particular way.” I raised an eyebrow, “Stimulus? What do you mean?” She smiled, “Well when we are around some one of power and they release that power then we… well we get aroused.” I widened both of my eyes, “You get aroused by power? Whose power?”

She laughed, “Your power.” I furrowed my brows, “When did I release my power.” She shrugged her shoulders, “Just a few seconds ago. I don’t know why, but it burst forth when I asked you if you wanted to fight.” She looked me up and down, “You seemed like you were in a trance, did you see something?”

I didn’t know how much I should tell her, so I just shrugged my shoulders a little before speaking, “Not really. I don’t really remember much. I do know one thing though…” I stopped speaking suddenly and then used some of the knowledge I gained to activate a little of my power. I held out my right hand with the palm up and a ball of black flame formed in the air. The owner raised her eyebrows in shock, “Wow, its actually pretty warm, which is a good thing. With my power I shouldn’t even be able to feel the heat from something that someone who just awakened their power used.”

The wood of the bed frame actually caught fire and started to burn from the heat. I yelped and then put my flame away. I tried to use another one of my powers and drop a water ball on the fire, but I wasn’t able to control it very well and ended up flooding the room a bit. Violetta woke up when the water soaked her, “Ah!” She sat straight up and looked around the room before speaking, “What happened?”

The owner laughed, “Young Caelum here accidently caught the bed on fire and when he tried to put it out he ended up flooding the room.” She looked down at the ground and sure enough there was about two inches of water on the floor. She looked at me and I looked at the ground, I could feel my face heating up a bit. All of a sudden she squealed, “So cute!” She immediately pounced on me and hugged me. The water on her clothes transferred over to mine and now my clothes are soaked as well.

The owner laughed at the scene. I glared at her and she giggled, “Ooo scary.” I shook my head and then thought of something. I looked back at the owner, “Wait, I don’t even know your name.” I looked at Violetta, “I get introduced to your mom before even knowing her name? You’re such a bad daughter.” She puffed her cheeks at me, “You never asked.” I laughed and before I could say anything else the owner spoke, “Katarina.”

I raised an eyebrow and looked at her. She spoke again, “My name is Katarina, but you can call me Kat if you want.” I smiled, “That’s a nice name.” I felt a pinch on my side causing me to yelp, “Hey!” I looked over at Violetta, “What was that for?” She glared at me, “You seriously going to flirt with my mom right in front of me?” I laughed, “I wasn’t flirting… jeez.” She just glared at me and went, “Mmhmm.”

I laughed nervously and before I could speak Violetta spoke to her mom, “What did you mean when you said he caught the bed on fire and tried to put it out?” Katarina smiled at her, “He awakened Xavier’s power.” Violetta gasped and then grabbed me by the face, “Is that true?” I nodded my head and she screamed before giving me a big kiss. I widened my eyes in shock and returned it. A few seconds later she separated from me.

I looked at her, “What was that for.” She giggled, “Because now you can start practicing and get stronger. Then you can beat up all my suitors. They are honestly getting really annoying.” She smiled and then scooted closer to me, “I also don’t have lie about you to my friends anymore. They think that I am single, so they keep trying to set me up with all kinds of guys.”

I could feel my eye twitch in irritation and Katarina laughed, “Looks like someone is getting a little jealous.” I looked at her, “No jealous, but Violetta is my woman and I can’t really stand by and just let someone try and woo her, right?” Violetta snorted, “Whose your woman?” I laughed and then groped her ass. She yelped a bit and her face turned red. I grinned, “You are my woman and if any other man tries to touch you, I won’t let them off lightly.”

She was a little red when she spoke, “I know I said that I was yours, but you seemed kind of hesitant at first. What finally made you think that I was yours?” I grinned and then leaned in to whisper, “The moment I fucked you.” She turned even redder and kept glancing at her mom. I think the only reason she was getting embarrassed is because Katarina was sitting there.

Kat laughed, “No need to get embarrassed dear. I think it’s a good thing when a man considers a woman he slept with as his. It means he cares for you and doesn’t want to let you go to another.” Violetta yelped, “How do you know we had sex!?” Kat face palmed, “Did you really forget that I know everything on this planet. I am in charge of it.”

Violetta was playing with her fingers, “Oh, yeah.” I laughed and then brought her into my embrace. She relaxed and leaned against my chest. I looked over at Kat, “You got a place that I can practice my powers? I probably don’t want to blow up anything by accident.” She smiled, “I got a place. It will also remove any limiters that have been set by the planet.” I raised an eyebrow, “Limiter?”

She nodded, “Yeah, most planets have limiters on them. They limit a person’s power to right below what the planet can handle. Some planets can handle more, some can handle less. Earth can handle powers up to the Planetary General, but a special power like a System Lord’s teleportation is not restrained.” I nodded my head in understanding and she continued to speak, “My power is at the System Lord stage, while Violetta’s is at the System Fighter stage.” I raised an eyebrow, “What is my power at right now?”

She smiled, “You are probably at the Planetary Fighter stage.” I nodded, “Okay.” I didn’t know what the ranks really were so I asked and Violetta briefly explained them. After her explanation we headed towards the training area. Katarina used one of her powers to dry us off before we left. I found out that Katarina has two powers and they are Fire and Ice. They were two contradicting powers, but they were both deadly.

Violetta has two powers as well, she has Death and Shadow. Shadow is one of the downgraded versions of Dark. I was confused about something so I asked, “What is the difference between Death and Necromancy?” Violetta answered my question, “Death deals directly with the soul, while Necromancy is just using your power to animate or summon a dead being. Beings that can control Death and Necromancy are able to actually put somebodies soul into a corpse and that corpse will be loyal to the person who put the soul in. The fresher the corpse the more lifelike it will be.”

I nodded, “So if someone was to put a soul directly into the corpse of someone who died a few minutes before, it will be indistinguishable from a normal human?” She nodded, “Sort of. The corpse with a soul in it is still a corpse and it will have no warmth to it at all.” I nodded my head in understanding. She continued to talk, “Though beings that can control both Death and Necromancy are rare. My brother was one of the few and that is because he could control all of the things under the darkness power tree.”

She then seemed to realize something and looked at me, “I guess you would be one of those people too, since you have my brother’s power.” I nodded my head in agreement. She smiled, “What power do you want to work on first?” I thought about it for a minute, “How about Dark. I would like to be able to use the powers of darkness to my advantage. I could then take some assassination missions and earn some money.”

Kat nodded her head, “Assassination is a very lucrative business. There are a lot of people in the universe that want people dead.” I raised an eyebrow, “I meant on Earth.” Violetta smacked me on the back of my head. I yelped, “Hey!” She was glaring at me, “With your powers you shouldn’t be thinking so small. You need to think about leaving this planet at some point in time.” I thought about what she was saying and I had to agree with her. Eventually I will need to leave.

I looked at her and apologized, “Sorry.” She smiled, “Don’t worry about it. Sooner or later we will be leaving this planet and traveling the universe together.” I smiled at her and then told them I wanted to practice. Katarina left and then Violetta walked over to the other side of the room. She stayed to make sure my powers didn’t go berserk; she knows that my power could do that.  She was close to her brother and he told her many things about his power.

I stood in the middle of the training room and then sorted through the information in my brain. I wasn’t able to really go through it all when it was transferred to me, but now I can study it a bit. After a few hours of absorbing the information about the Dark power I activated one of its abilities. The lights in the room started to dim and I could feel myself being hidden by the darkness. Violetta jumped up from where she was sitting and looked around for me.

She couldn’t seem to see me and I started to slowly walk over towards her. I managed to get behind her and then I reached around and grabbed her breasts. I grinned, “Guess who.” She laughed before turning around and placing a kiss on my lips. I was shocked and released the ability. She separated from me and was grinning. I just stared at her before speaking, “How did you know where my face was?”

She laughed, “Well for one, you were groping my breasts from behind. Two, I could hear you walking. Three, I could hear your breathing behind me. Four, I could smell you. The list goes on for a bit dear.” I frowned and looked down at the ground. She laughed and then grabbed my chin and made me look at her. She was smiling before she spoke, “It fools the visual senses almost completely. The only way someone would be able to see you is if they were able to see in the dark like it was day. Other than that, they would have to be able to sense you with their other senses.”

She gave me a quick kiss again, “Keep practicing dear and you would perfect it one day. Rome wasn’t built in a day you know.” I laughed and then grinned at her, “Oh, do you know that from experience?” She glared at me and then disappeared into the shadows. I looked around for her, but before I could do anything she kicked me in the ass. It made me fall down and face plant.

She then put her foot on my ass and ground her heel in. It brought pain to my ass and caused me to yelp again, “Ah!?” She laughed, “Don’t every bring up a ladies age dear.” She grabbed me by the collar and lifted me toward her face. She whispered in my ear, “It can get you hurt.” She squeezed my crotch and I could feel the pressure on my jewels. I swallowed some saliva, “Yes dear.” She let me go and I landed on my ass.

She smiled, “Good. Now that you know get back to practicing.” I sighed and then stood up, “Yes hunny.” She laughed and then went back to her chair. I watched her swaying ass and had a devious thought. I am so going to punish you later, dear.
