It was over. After centuries of fighting, she had failed to reach a level to defeat her tormentor, she was beaten and placed in a cage, and unlike previous times, it was not gilded. Instead, Aqua’s lifeless eyes stared at the damp cell walls. Her hands were burdened by heavy chains, and her neck was locked by a shock collar. Her ankles were heavy iron rings, and her dress was transparent, leaving nothing to the imagination. Her face was stained by tears, yet there was nothing she could do anymore. All her teachers died, and even Sun God had been subjugated. She rubbed her legs together, the abuse she had experienced every day made her body shake, yet she was immortal. No matter how long it passed, she would be the Supreme God’s slave. “Slave!” A rough paladin’s voice reached her, forcing her to make eye contact with him. “Y…yes, master?” “Time for your daily duty, our lord is waiting!” He ordered while opening the cell. She tried to scuttle away, but the instant she thought of disobeying the collar shocked her, making her fall to the ground. A slap connected to her face, making her fall. He placed his foot on her head, dirtying her hair even more. “You will learn to love your place, as all mortal women do.” “Y…yes, master. I understand,” she spoke through her tears. The warden unlocked her chains and forced her to follow after him. Her bare feet shook out the fear, no matter how many times she had been used, it brought great pain both physically and mentally. Someone save me, please! Soon, they reached a grand door, which soon opened. She was kicked in the back, forcing her into the Supreme God’s chambers. “Wait for our lord on the bed, slave.” She obeyed and quickly lay down. A stream of tears trailed down her face. Nobody was left to save her, everything had been taken, and only a slave remained in her place. Blackflame twilight, unleash me. I can make your torment stop, I can end everything. Let me consume all that stands in your way. A dark, corrupting voice reverberated inside her head. Soon her tormentor entered the room, and she turned her head away, hoping that he wouldn't take too long with her body. His mouth moved, yet no sound came. Do you see it? There is nothing left but me. Become a predator of the cosmos, become what even the gods fear. Predate on the very concepts, by my will. Surrender yourself… to me. Her memories flashed before her. Umbra, Sun God, and everyone who taught and saved her life. Why had she failed? She could not let them all down and remain a god’s plaything. No, something is wrong. Sun God could never have fallen to the likes of Supreme Parasite! Black Flame is lying like it always does! “No, I have not failed! I have won! Your lies will not work on me! I have gained a new life, you won’t take it from me!” She shouted, snapping herself out of the fear. Her body changed, her transparent dress replaced by her coat, and a blazing halo sparked above her head. Her shackles melted, and the collar turned to dust. In an instant, the Supreme God’s form burned in black fire, together with the scenery. *** Aqua woke up in her bed, her eyes locked onto the familiar ceiling of Umbra’s home. She reached toward it and closed her fist. A small smile formed on her face, and she jumped out of bed. She wore a simple white nightgown, and her hair was messy. However, she had something important to do this morning. She rushed out of her room and ran straight toward Umbra’s room. She opened the door, finding her dearest teacher sitting on the bed and reading a book. “Mistress Umbra, I love you! Please marry me!” She shouted while bowing deeply. The girl placed her book down and sneered. “No, you do not deserve me, worthless elf,” she spoke mockingly, making Aqua step back. “W…what?” “I hate you, I have always hated you. You are everything wrong with this world!” Her heart sank, and a pit in her stomach opened. Her tears streamed down her face. Why? I have done my best. Why do you hate me?! Everyone hates you, even
