1094 Words
As Lavtura and Sharion departed from the sacred chamber of the Temporal Nexus, they carried with them the weight of their newfound responsibility. The golden light that had surrounded them began to fade as they ventured deeper into Elysium, on their way back to Lavi's side.
The journey back was marked by a profound silence, the kind that only comes when two souls are deep in thought. Lavtura and Sharion walked side by side, their bond strengthened by the challenges they had faced. They had acquired a powerful tool in the form of the Temporal Nexus, but with great power came great responsibility, and they understood the gravity of their role in protecting the universe.
As they traversed Elysium's enchanting landscapes, Sharion finally broke the silence. "Lavtura, this power... it's incredible, but also a heavy burden. We carry the responsibility of preserving the balance between love and time. I can't help but feel the weight of it all."
Lavtura nodded, her eyes filled with determination. "I understand, Sharion. The power we possess is immense, but we must use it wisely and selflessly. Our love and unity will guide us, and we will ensure that the Temporal Nexus's power serves the greater good."
Their journey back to Lavi's side was filled with contemplation and reflection. They knew that they would need to explain the situation to Lavi, the God of the End, and seek his guidance on how to proceed. Lavi was not just their husband; he was their leader, and his wisdom would be crucial in this delicate matter.
When they finally returned to their mansion, Lavi was waiting for them, his eyes filled with concern. He had sensed the immense power they had acquired from the Temporal Nexus and was eager to hear their report.
Lavtura approached Lavi, her expression serious. "Lavi, we have returned from the Temporal Nexus with its power. We are entrusted with the responsibility of safeguarding the universe's balance, protecting it from those who would disrupt it."
Lavi listened carefully to Lavtura's words, his face a mask of contemplation. He understood the gravity of the situation and the power now at their disposal. But instead of expressing a desire to possess the Temporal Nexus's power, he surprised them with his response.
"Lavtura, I want you to keep that power to yourself," Lavi said calmly.
Lavtura and Sharion exchanged bewildered glances. It was not the response they had expected. "Lavi, we thought that we would use this power to strengthen our defenses and counter Theo's manipulations," Sharion said, her voice filled with concern.
Lavi smiled gently, his eyes reflecting a wisdom born from his experiences. "I understand your intentions, but we must remember that our unity is our greatest strength. The power of the Temporal Nexus should not be concentrated in one individual, even if that individual is you, Lavtura."
Lavtura was taken aback by Lavi's response, but she respected his wisdom. "But, Lavi, how can we ensure the universe's safety without fully utilizing this power?"
Lavi placed a hand on Lavtura's shoulder, his touch reassuring. "We need every god, every member of our family, to be prepared to defend the universe. Even a non-combatant god like you, Lavtura, plays a crucial role. Your ability to nurture love and unity among us is as important as any other power. We must work together, as a family, to protect the balance of the cosmos."
Sharion nodded in agreement. "Lavi is right, Lavtura. We are stronger together, and your influence in maintaining our unity is invaluable."
Lavtura's heart swelled with gratitude for the wisdom of her husband and the unwavering support of Sharion. She realized that their love and unity were indeed their greatest strengths, and the power of the Temporal Nexus would be most effective when wielded by all of them, together.
With newfound determination, Lavtura embraced Lavi, her heart filled with love and pride. "You are right, Lavi. We will keep the power of the Temporal Nexus within our family, using it to protect the universe and preserve the balance between love and time."
Lavi returned her embrace, and together, they stood united in their commitment to safeguarding the cosmos. The journey they had embarked upon had tested their resolve and deepened their bonds, and they knew that their strength lay in their love, unity, and shared purpose.
With the power of the Temporal Nexus as their ally and the love that bound them as their guiding light, they were ready to face the challenges that lay ahead, including the impending confrontation with Theo, the God of Time, and the threat posed by the Ancient One.
As he was embracing Lavtura, Lavi started thinking ahead as he doesn't have the ability to enjoy every little things that's happening. He needed to use every single second of his being to think ahead as his opponent is not just Theo, it's also the Ancient Being, including the one backing Theo.
'The Temporal Nexus is now in Lavtura's hand. That allows me to easily move by myself and not worry about other gods getting caught up in the Time Manipulation ability that Theo has. Since Lavtura is able to reverse that stop and keep everyone moving in that time stop.' But after thinking of that, he thought of another problem. 'That's nice and all, but Lavtura is once again, not a combatant. She does have a basic with bow, but against Theo who's a known savage... That's not going to suffice... So, in order to not lose Lavtura to Theo... I needed to have her protected by someone...'
Then, Lavi turn his head to Sharion. Confused on what that stares mean, Sharion started flinching. She started to get all flushed up and muttered "I-I'm not jealous of Lavtura... I swear..."
She misunderstood Lavi's gaze. To which, Lavtura also realize. She then let go of Lavi and Lavi let go of her. "Now, go pamper Sharion too!" Said Lavtura. Lavi just sigh lightly and smiled toward Lavtura.
"I didn't mean to make you jealous..." He then hugged Sharion just like how he hugged Lavtura. Sharion happily embraced him tightly and then let out quite a cute face...
"Well, I'm about to say, when the battle against Theo started, I want you to stay at Lavtura's side and make sure she's safe..."
"Oh, don't worry Lavi... I will keep her safe. That's the vow I made. I am not going to let any one of our family, get hurt in this last battle!"
Hearing that, Lavi smiled and put his entire trust on her words...
