Chapter 8 - New Bonds Hidden Power

[ A quiet area behind the high school, surrounded by looming trees and dappled sunlight. Blaze Vortex leans casually against a wall, arms crossed, while Void ling paces nearby, the faint energy of Shadows trailing his steps.

Blaze Vortex

(Gesturing with his hands as shadows flicker between his fingers.)

" Still... Fluxara's last words. ' But beware... what lies beyond'

Void ling

(Looking at the Blaze, his expression changed)

"I don't know. But if he's right. We might be walking into something even bigger than him. Guess we'll find out."

Void ling

(Smiling at blaze)

You know Blaze , you really helped me alot, thank you very much

Blaze Vortex

(Smirking)

Hmph... that what friends are for

Void ling

(Gesturing with his hands as shadows flicker between his fingers.)

So, Blaze, after everything we've been through--- your big master plan is to blend in here? Play the cool guy, like you don't have the power to rewrite reality"?

Blaze Vortex

(Smirking his eyes glowing faintly with fiercely energy)

"Pretty much. What's wrong with a little normalcy, Void? Not every moment has to be about chaos and existential threats. Besides, blending in is an art-- one could learn."

Void ling

(Rolling his eyes, the shadows intensifying briefly before fading.)

" Yeah, right. Like hiding is my thing. If anything, you should be worried about you glow-up attracting attention. I mean, come on-- flames? In broad daylight?"

Blaze Vortex

(Shruggling, his tone calm but deliberate.)

"Some things, you can't hide, Void. But that doesn't mean I need to fluent it. Just... keep your shadows in check. We don't want to-----" Wait. Do you feel that?"

Void ling

(Pausing mid-step, his smirk fading slightly as he focuses.)

"Someone's here."

In the clearing, a girl stands with her back to them, her dark hair catching the sunlight in streaks of gold. She wears a confident yet aloof expression, her arms crossed as though she's waiting for something-- or someone

Blaze Vortex

(Straightening, his tone steady but cautious.)

"Who is she?

Void ling

(Grining Slightly, his tone light but curious.)

"I don't know. But I think we're about to find out."

Seraphina Nyx

(Lowering her guarded tone, her piercing gaze softens Slightly as she speaks.)

"I'm not here to fight. If I wanted to, I would've done it already. But something tells me you two aren't like the others here. You... get it, don't you? The weight of power, the struggle to hide it.?

Void ling

(Raising an eyebrows. Shadows flickering playfully around him as he smirk returns.)

" Oh, we get, alright. Power's a funny thing-- you either control it, or It control you. And judging by how you're holding yours back, I'd say you've had some practice."

Blaze Vortex

(Stepping forward, his tone is calm but firm.)

"He's right. We have been through more than you can imagine, and we know what it's like to hide something like that. If you're not here to harm anyone, then maybe... we can help"

Seraphim Nyx

(Watching them closely)

"Help? You don't even know what you are offering to step into. But.."

(She hesitate briefly, then looks at them.)

"... maybe I don't need to do this alone anymore."

Void ling

(Crossing his arms, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.)

"See? Making friends already. And here I thought you'd be all mysterious and broody.

Welcome to the club, Seraphina."

Seraphim Nyx

(Letting out a quiet laugh, shaking her head Slightly.)

"Don't get ahead of yourself, Shadow Boy. I am still deciding if I can trust you."

Blaze Vortex

(Smirking Slightly, his tone steady.)

"Fair enough. But trust works both ways. If you're with us, we'll need to know what you're hiding-- and why"

Seraphina Nyx

(Her voice steady)

" Alright Flame boy"

Blaze Vortex

" My name is Blaze Vortex by the way, my name is not Flame boy"

Void ling

(Smirking,arms crossed)

" Alright, Seraphina. Time to spill. What kind of powers are you hiding. Don't keep us in suspense."

Blaze Vortex

(His tone more serious, arms crossed)

"We've see things that defy reality, so whatever it's--- don't hold back. We can handle it."

Seraphina Nyx

(Taking a slow breath, her gaze shifting between them.)

" It's not the kind of power I can just show off. It's... different. Bigger. My abilities are tied to something ancient, something beyond the multiverse."

Void ling

("Raising an eyebrow, intrigued.)

"Beyond the multiverse? You're really giving me the badass enigma' vibe right now. Keep going--- I'm all ears."

Seraphina Nyx

(Letting out a quiet laugh before her expression turna serious again.)

" Fine. I call it ECLIPSE SOVEREIGNTY. it not just power-- it's control over the balance between creation and destruction. With it I can reshape existence at will. But it's not as simple as rewriting laws or nullifying reality. It's.... more."

Blaze Vortex

(Stepping close, his flames flickering Slightly as his eyes narrow.)

" More how? What does it actually do?"

Seraphina Nyx

(Her gaze sharpens as she explains)

"I can summon forces from both end of existence-- the power to create universes or erase them entirely. But it's not just destruction or constructive. It's... harmony. If choas overtakes order, I can restore the balance. If order suffocated choas, I can tear it down. Every action, every ripple reality, I can manipulate it."

Void ling

(Blinking, his smirk fading as he processes her words.)

" Wait... You can manipulate existence itself? As in the fabric of reality-- the enitre flow of creation and destruction? That's---- insane"

Blaze Vortex

(His expression somewhere shocked)

" Your ability don't just transcend power-- they define it. Creation and destruction are fundamental forces. If you can control them."

Seraphina Nyx

(Looking away briefly)

"Everytime I use Ecliptic Sovereignty, it takes a toll. The more I push, the harder it is to control I've spends years suppressing it-- because if I lose control, I could.." destroy everything"

Void ling

(His Smirking returning)

"Well Seraphina, I don't know whether to be terrified or impressed. But I do know one thing you are not alone anymore.

Blaze Vortex

(Stepping forward, his tone calm)

"He's right. We've faced destruction and survive. You don't have to suppress it forever. You got us now. Whatever comes next, we face it together."

Seraphina Nyx

(Watching them for a moment, her guarded expression softening Slightly as she nods.)

"Together, then.
