I woke up in this strange place where the whole landscape mixed with tombs and tombstones as if the whole world was one big cetery.
In this place I am consud by a feeling of sadness and desolation without understanding what is happening, that is until I hear her voice as she appears out of nowhere beside .
"You did really well this ti, Zenos." (Goddess Selene)
"..." (I)
"You must be confused about why you're here." (Goddess Selene)
"You don't need to know what this place is now, I just wanted you to look at this landscape to understand sothing." (Goddess Selene)
"This is the result of all wars, no matter if the war has a good reason, if the war is inevitable or if it is a war to defend what you love." (Goddess Selene)
I notice tears falling from the Goddess Selene's eyes as she looks up as if she is seeing a very distant mory.
"All wars cause death, depending on the scale of the war it can bring the death of more than just the lives of soldiers, it can bring the death of Realms, continents, entire worlds or even more..." (Goddess Selene)
"Unfortunately wars will always exist, there are even wars to avoid bigger wars which may seem like a contradiction to many, but that's exactly what you did this ti." (Goddess Selene)
The Goddess Selene looks around sadly before wiping away her tears and running her hand over my head like I'm a child as she pushes into a portal I hadn't noticed behind .
When I pass through the portal I find myself back in the throne room the ti before, for so reason I couldn't take my eyes off the portal until it closes, so I look down at my hands that are shaking for so reason before trying to wipe my eyes.
"What place was that? Whose tombstones were these?" (I)
"These were tombstones of soldiers and warriors from tis older than the existence of this world, those who died in a war that was forgotten in the tides of ti..." (Goddess Selene)
"..." (I)
"What you did in the Makari Kingdom was the right decision, don't seek empty fa and glories, there will be better tis for you to obtain these things." (Goddess Selene)
"I don't need any of that, it will only attract unnecessary attention to , this sort of thing only causes more problems than it solves." (I)
"You're not far from the truth." (Goddess Selene)
The Goddess smiles before waving her hand causing two simple sofas to appear to sit us down.
"You can already guess why I'm here, right?" (Goddess Selene)
"I'm evolving, this is the only ti I et you normally." (I)
"You're right, so I wanted to thank you for stopping the Vampires who were doing evil deeds, they were consud by their own power and sense of superiority, but I didn't like to see what they had beco." (Goddess Selene)
"The Vampire race was a race that I created my own image a long ti ago, seeing mbers of that race doing such terrible things is not sothing I like." (Goddess Selene)
"Why didn't you send one of your believers to go after them?" (I)
"Because their plans were dood to fail, summoning a Dragon of Destruction would have killed them all and you wouldn't have had to do anything about it." (Goddess Selene)
"Why not stop them if you already knew what was going on?" (I)
"Mortals' problems must be solved by mortals." (Goddess Selene)
"All I can do is try to guide people, even as Goddess I don't have the right to say what everyone has to do or how to do it, people have the right to make their own choices whether good or bad, whether they are themselves bearing the weight of your decisions or other people." (Goddess Selene)
"..." (I)
"(Is she talking about free will?)" (I)
I think it would be hypocritical of to ask her to help people whenever they make mistakes while complaining if she interferes with people when they are living their normal lives.
The conversation was silent for a few minutes as I understood everything she said.
"This ti your evolution is a little special, because of that I'll have to interfere a little, but I'm only able to do that because you're my son." (Goddess Selene)
"What do you an by interfering?" (I)
"During evolution, the bloodlines within your body will all be activated, but in your case, there are many bloodlines and so are too powerful." (Goddess Selene)
"These bloodlines will weigh heavily on your body during your evolution, they may even kill you during evolution." (Goddess Selene)
"That's because these powerful bloodlines aren't fully integrated with you." (Goddess Selene)
"I didn't want to interfere, but I can't let you die like this, so I will use my power to fuse all of your bloodlines with the exception of the True Dragons' language and my own bloodline within you." (Goddess Selene)
"I appreciate your help, but why not rge these two bloodlines?" (I)
"Because these two bloodlines will not only affect your body but your soul as well and you're too weak to bear sothing like that, you wouldn't even bear what I'm going to do now if you weren't personally interfering." (Goddess Selene)
"Another reason I'm able to interfere this ti is for the ordeal of you defeating an enemy stronger than you, as such I can grant you sothing as a reward and I chose to do that, technically I'm not granting you anything, I'm just awakening a potential that you already have." (Goddess Selene)
"What will happen to after this?" (I)
"My interference will co at a price, you won't be able to choose your evolution this ti." (Goddess Selene)
"So you're going to choose my evolution?" (I)
"No, it will be a more natural evolution that will appear as a result of your new superior lineage." (Goddess Selene)
From what she's said so far it doesn't seem like I have much choice, the second option is death and I'm too young to die, I haven't even been able to travel to see the world yet if I think about it I've been alive less than a year.
Sigh
"It seems I only have one choice, so I appreciate your help Goddess Selene." (I)
"So let's do it now..." (Goddess Selene)

Pov Goddess Selene:
I hug Zenos while sharing so of my power with him to rge their bloodlines, I also try to make the latest changes to his appearance, so I don't think anyone else will be able to know who he is just by his looks.
Soon Zenos' soul disappears from my arms back into his own body, his evolution should take a little longer this ti.
"So he was his son." (Vidark)
"Yes, he is my child, soone with a lot of potentials to be my champion one day." (I)
"I had already noticed his presence a long ti ago thanks to his subordinates with rica, Alice, and the people of the mountain range." (Vidark)
"As always seeing through the eyes of those who seek revenge." (I)
"But I saw very little about him, but I thank him for the way he treated revenge as a victim's right." (Vidark)
"There are many ways to get revenge, one of the most difficult ways is to forget the target of revenge, that's sothing everyone talks about but it's not easy to do." (Vidark)
"Sotis forgetting can be the worst punishnt." (I)
"Yes, I wish my brother realized such things." (Vidark)
"Why did you co Vidark?" (I)
I look back to where a large red-skinned man with clothes with chains hanging from them appears, his face as usual covered in darkness allowing only his red eyes to be seen.
"Just wanted to thank him for allowing and aiding my believer's revenge." (Vidark)
"I wish I had given my blessing to her sooner, but that would only hasten her transformation into a Demon and cause her death due to her husband, I couldn't leave her without her revenge dying like this." (Vidark)
"Even though she was Human she understood my teachings and took them to heart, she has true faith in and was rewarded for it." (Vidark)
"Did you know that soone would at so point go there, being my son was just a happy coincidence?" (I)
"Yes, sooner or later an opportunity would arise, I needed her to bear her suffering for a little longer until this mont, I used it as an ordeal for her too." (Vidark)
"The blessing I gave her was the accumulation of everything she suffered, at this mont she is almost a Priestess of mine, sothing I have very few." (Vidark)
"I even received a soul as an offering, this would only be possible if her desire for revenge was great enough to reach his soul." (Vidark)
"Thanks to that I have the material to work with on my gift that I'll give Lilith when the ti is right." (Vidark)
"That's why I wanted to thank your son." (Vidark)
"Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity, but at least I thank you for your help, thank you." (Vidark)
After thanking him he disappears, as usual, he didn't co with his true body, he just used a will for that.
I go to the throne and sit down before holding the black crown in my hands as I rember the image of Zenos crying in the graveyard.
"After all this ti his feelings still remain, finally his tears were able to reach their headstones." (I)
I couldn't help but smile as tears stread from my eyes as they fell into the crown.
