Chapter 365 – Aruliel’s Dreams

—–

Abyss had not been sleeping in the sa bed as Chaos, but now he decided to leave her sleep with him.

"I-Is it okay?" She asked.

Abyss was a bit nervous, she thought she was stepping out of her boundaries by sleeping at his side even when they were not going to do anything lewd at all, but Chaos seed adamant in that.

At the end, he ended telling Chaos the truth of what he wanted, as he told her that he truly wanted to hug her…

"Yeah, I want to hug you while I sleep." Said Chaos with great honesty.

He surprised Abyss a bit, as she looked at him with her big, yellow-colored eyes. Such honestly made Abyss mile warmly back at Chaos, as she realized that he was a sweet young man that only deserved to be loved.

"Hehe, you're so honest… Okay then… Co here… Dear." Said Abyss.

She hugged Chaos tightly and pushed him down into the bed gently, the two felt each other's warmth, which was very small due to both being usually quite cold-bodied.

"Abyss…" Said Chaos, the two cuddled in bed, as Chaos covered the two with blankets, and Chaos hugged Abyss tightly, while she kissed his nose.

"Goodnight…" she said.

"Goodnight…" said Chaos.

The two slept relaxedly, as ti slowly went on. Chaos was able to finally sleep normally for once, and so did Abyss, this little mont together was sothing quite enjoyable for the two…

…anwhile, within her dreams, Aruliel began to dream about many things, her past, her present, and what might await her in the future.

The fragnts of her past began to erge like mories of terrible things she didn't wanted to rember anymore. The abuse, the discrimination, all of it just because of how things ended turning up to be.

Just because of a small whim of fate, everything in her life ended turning upside down. Perhaps it was too ridiculous to think how just because she cried a lot everything beca bad for her… but the Angel society in Heaven valued things such as image a lot.

They were selfish and rather arrogant deep down, and as they always kept everything deep down saved inside, when they saw soone showing actual emotions, they used them as an outlet for discrimination and more, sothing that was obviously wrong… but that didn't seed wrong for so reason, even though they were considered to be holy figures.

All of that past ended in her being thrown away by her own allies and betrayed by them. She ended being hit by the fragnts of the Forbidden One falling all across the Universe, and like a teor, she fell over a random planet, the power of maliciousness of the fragnts was incredibly strong, and they were consuming her too fast.

Due to that, she ended sealing herself to secure her survival, until one day, after eons since then, soone ca and unsealed her, revealing that the fragnts had also rged with her for their own survival, or the seal would had absorbed all their power and turn them into even weaker versions than now.

Since then that she had been trying to adapt to the new things now, but she retained her crybaby personality and because there as never soone in her past to encourage her to be strong and only always ridiculed her for being like that, she never learned how to actually be courageous and strong, and ended being always a crybaby little angel.

But with Chaos and his crew, things changed, she was given ti, friends, and company, and with all of that also ca words of encouragent, friendship, and more.

Although it hasn't been that long, she valued them a lot, and wanted to continue experiencing many things with everyone, so they all can beco her truest and first friends, and the ones she'll do anything for, even surpassing her own crybaby-ness.

Just like it happened.

Her mories recalled that ti as the fragnts of the Forbidden One suddenly gained a greater sentience as they were being controlled by the Ego of the Forbidden One that Chaos was fighting against.

These malicious fragnts tried to slowly wear down her ntal strength and tried to make her rember her traumas to wear her down, but that only ended making her stronger ntally as she recalled all the suffering she went through and then compared it to the new life she was beginning to live, and things quickly escalated into her even being able to overpower them.

Angels are powerful beings, even if weakened, sealed, and more, they possess near-endless potential as they are beings directly created by one of the Primordial Deities that maintain the entire Universe as a pillar, The One, or God, as many call him.

She had not completely lost her power, rather, the core that produced it had been exhausted, but it got once more fueled with her will to live, and it activated, fueling her with divine heavenly power, which she used to fight against this darkness, and ultimately and temporarily makes it hers.

But only for so ti…

Now, this darkness had once more retreated into a passive state, but who knew what might happen in the future. She really didn't wanted this darkness to return to her and attempt to take over her body once more.

However, the fact that she was able to fight against the Forbidden One's Ego controlling the fragnts of her body ant a lot, this ant that probably, a bit like Chaos, she could beco capable of controlling the fragnts in her body and use them as a new source of dark power to fuse with her heavenly powers as an angel, just like she had been trying to do for a while…

But it was all thanks to Chaos that she was able to co back, and now, she was diving into this silent river within her dreams, she was in complete peace.

For so reason, she had "woken up" a bit more after what had happened, it felt as if her fears were a bit less than before, and now she was becoming capable of seeing more what was ahead of herself.

The future before her was showing, and she began to think what she should do from now on… She had no idea about this world of Amphibi and would need to eb updated about it a lot, but she was willing to help Chaos in anything he ever needed, and anyone within their group as well…

Of course, there was also sothing else within her soul and dreams that she suddenly found, a bright light, a sparkling bright white light, a sphere of light floating amidst the darkness.

And within this darkness there were aberrant shadows in the shape of horrendous beasts, groaning and looking at this light with their crimson-red eyes fearfully.

"W-What is this?" she wondered.

The bright light suddenly seed to shine brightly above her, bathing her with its light.

She felt as if this light was making her stronger.

"Fight… Aruliel… Fight…" it guided her.

"W-Who are you?" she wondered.

"I am… your light." It said.

"My… light?" wondered Aruliel.

She suddenly realized this light… it was her own voice, the voice of a mature woman, it was as if this was the voice of a possible Aruliel, who was guided by light and correct.

And then…

"Fear, tremble, cry!"

The aberrant voice of the darkness spoke to her…

Within Aruliel's consciousness, there were two voices speaking to her, the light, and… the darkness.

There was the light, which sounded like her voice, but more mature, and more adult, more correct as well, it felt as if this light part of her was the correct one, the one that never cried, that always kept her emotions inside of her heart, the perfect Aruliel.

And then, there was another, malefic voice, a voice that ca from the darkness of her own heart, the infected part that was her dark emotions had been devoured and assimilated by the fragnts of the Forbidden One, which had also beco part of her own body and soul.

Therefore, even if this dark side of her had foreign elents, such foreign elents were already part of her body anyways. The fragnts had been fused with her long ago, if they wanted to get out of her body, she would die, and the fragnts would even end up very weakened, and because they lacked much will of their own, they had completely fused with her to the point they might die if she dies.

The forbidden one's ego knew this, and that's why it tried to control Aruliel instead of just forcing the fragnts out of her body in a grotesque and blood scene… at the end, his actions only made the fragnts awaken sentience for Aruliel to overpower them and even be able to draw dark power from them.

But now, both the dark side and the light side of Aruliel had been divided into two halves of the sa heart… had this ever happened before?
