Chapter 219: The Song Of Present

The whistle kept blowing as Kai kept walking in a dazed state. A sweet fragrance filled the atmosphere as a maiden's beautiful voice entered his ears.

"Suddenly you're nowhere to be found

I turn around and everything has changed Looking for a way to work it out

I'm trying to find some peace to navigate." The feminine voice made Kai's heartache as the song continued.

"The oak tree where I met you

and the writing

on the statue

I still remember every word you said

I'm not a soldier

but I'm fighting

Can you hear me through the silence?

I won't give up cause

There will be a day

We'll meet again." 

He suddenly stopped as a pink mist move around his body. A feeling of comfort went throughout him as the song progressed further.

(The song is We'll meet again by the FatRat and Laura Brehm which can be streamed on YouTube. I will include the link here if anyone of you wants to listen to it.)

More memories started to appear in his mind. Things he had buried deep inside him. Things he had never wanted to see again. Things that had broken the moment they had started.

"No matter how many times I hear it, your voice is so beautiful and melodious." He remembered the words he had spoken millenniums ago.

"My mother used to sing this song. When I was a child, this was my favorite lullaby and now, I can sing it too. Though I never reached her level." He still remembered the reply he had gotten.

But like a string being snapped in half, the song suddenly stopped. His eyes suddenly returned to normal as he looked around in bewilderment.

He spread his spiritual sense on the entire realm but couldn't find anyone except the ground of people loving there, Inari, and a few spiritual beasts.

He growled in frustration and clenched his fist tightly. The atmosphere around him started to heat up as his eyes glowed in the night.

The sun shone on his body lightly as everything around him went silent. His eyes glowed with fury as the land below his feet started to crack.

A golden covered his entire body and his eyes turned pure golden. His body shone so brightly as though he was a second sun.

His mind went blank as he glanced up with his eyes. Within a second, an abandoned realm exploded into a million pieces.

This sent a wave of shock throughout the place as a certain someone suddenly recognized the powers Kai was emitting.

Kosma had been sitting cross-legged in the white space when a wave of power had shaken the entire place.

'Is he awakening times powers is early?! I can't shield him if he does that!' Kosma thought while cursing as she stood up and snapped her fingers.

The white place suddenly got full of colors and displayed the scenes of Kai hovering a few feet above the land of the abandoned realm.

The room them returned back to white as she stood up and stretched her petite figure. This white room was Kosma's birthplace.

From here, she could peer at any corner of the world and basically see anything from here. She rarely left this place but for serious matters like right now, she had to leave.

After stretching her body, Kosma vanished and appeared around the abandoned realms Kai was on.

The latter was currently looking at the sun with glowing thunderous gold eyes as Kosma snapped her fingers.

A plain white barrier appeared beside Kai as he kept gazing at the sun. He then raised his right hand and made a grabbing motion at the sun.

Kosma's eyes widened as she sensed movement inside the sun. She then swiped her hands apart as the sun suddenly divided into two, then four, then eight, and so on until it wasn't visible anymore.

Then slowly, small explosions the size of firecrackers exploding started taking place as millions of such explosions circled around the realm.

All of these explosions were the part of the sun that Kai had controlled and exploded and if Kosma hadn't separated the sun, a huge explosion would have destroyed all the nearby realms.

'I knew Time's powers were strong but I didn't know that they were this strong. With just a portion of them, he can destroy an entire sun. If he unlocks every ounce of that power, he can probably destroy all the upper realms at once with a snap of his fingers. But is that power still enough to defeat the Darkness?' Kosma wondered as she looked at Kai who was trapped inside the barriers.

She could sense the residents of the realm coming in Kai and Kosma's direction alongside the fox woman.

But if they saw either Kai or her, their eye should burn and they would die. So Kosma could only sigh as she teleported herself and Kai to the white blank space.

The latter's gaze then turned towards Kosma as the loli raised her eyebrows. She then removed the barrier and went forward as she waved her eyes in front of Kai's face but got no response.

"Did he fell unconscious with his eyes open?" She wondered out loud as she touched his forehead with her right hand.

'I wonder what is happening inside his mind.' Komsa thought as she closed her eyes and went inside his mind.

"What the fuck is this place?" She said out loud as she appeared inside a complete black place. 

Everything here was black and nothing else. Nit a shred of light or any object. Just complete black.

'How can a mind be completely empty. Everyone thinks of something at certain times.' Kosma wondered as she floated in the dark place and tried to find Kai.

She searched around for a few minutes before she finally found him. But she was shocked to see him.

The Kai in front of her had a dirty face and was wearing torn clothes. His purple-black hair were tossed to one side with dirt between them.

His eyes looked half dead and chains covered his arms and legs as he stared at the sky with a motionless expression.

Even though Kosma had told Kai that she knew everything about him, even she didn't know how he started his journey.

And seeing him in such a state, she could only wonder whether this was his past or not. The Kai in front of her then vanished as the black space started to brighten.

"This..." Her voice trailed off as she saw the scene spraying in front of her. They were Kai's memories when he was still a young child.
