Kai stood at the edge of the forest,
alone with his thoughts.
The Abyssal sigil burned on his hand,
its power beckoning him to embrace it.
To become the Prince of Darkness.
He had fought it.
He had tried to suppress it.
But it was part of him.
A truth he could not escape.
His family — the Nox family — had long since abandoned him.
They had rejected his potential,
treated him like an outcast.
But the power,
the darkness,
felt like home.
Kai clenched his fist, feeling the power surge through him.
The Abyss was awakening within him,
and he could feel its call.
He knew the battle for the world was not about light vs darkness.
It was about truth vs illusion.
The path he walked was uncertain,
but one thing was clear:
he would never be the hero they wanted.
He would walk his own path,
even if it led him into the shadows.
