Okay… before we get back to that epic moment where Aarav stepped into danger, let's rewind a little. We need to understand what happened before, who that mysterious figure was, and yes—some things about Eternis too.
But hey—I won't spoil everything right now. Because let's be honest, if I tell you too much, there won't be any mystery left, right?
So for now, let's go back in time…
Two Years Ago...
After Aarav and Saanvi left the battlefield behind, he split his powers.
He gave 1% to Zabuza, 0.5% to Saanvi, and kept only 1% for himself.
Everything else? Sealed away.
Locked in the upper world, guarded by divine forces.
Simple.
But Now… Let's Go 500 Years Back.
Yes, five hundred.
That was the time of the great battle between Aarav and Eternis.
And guess what?
Eternis didn't die.
Yup. He survived — not in body, but in energy form.
He was still alive. Still conscious. But different.
He had lived for so long… millions of years.
Alone. Corrupted.
His mind? Lost in eternity.
You might ask — why did he want to kill Aarav?
Well… I could tell you that.
But not yet
Because that's a secret better saved for the perfect moment. Trust me.
Anyway — once Eternis realized who he truly was…
He chose to disappear. To live quietly on Earth.
To enjoy life.
No war, no madness.
Just… peace.
He didn't have all his powers anymore. Why?
Yeah, that's another story. I'll tell you later.
Jump to Present Day
After 502 years of calm, he felt it —
A dark aura. Something dangerous. But you know what?
He didn't even flinch.
Meanwhile…
Zabuza is chilling with his family when suddenly — pain hits his chest. He knows something's wrong.
He tries to leave, tries to tell Aarav...
But before he can —
Aarav appears. Hands Saanvi over. And disappears.
Now let's slow things down a little.
Let's Talk About Those 12 Creatures
Yeah, those freaky powerful god-like beasts.
Did you know...
They weren't always monsters.
Long ago — Eternis created them.
Not out of evil, but in madness.
But once he came to his senses, he sealed them all.
Locked them in stone.
Left them on some faraway planet to rot.
But you know how it goes —
No prison lasts forever.
After 100,000 years, they started waking up.
Slowly… painfully…
And finally, the weakest among them succeeded.
Venmora — the poison enchantress.
But she didn't stay up for long.
She gave all her power to Drothul.
And boom — he was back.
The 12 Beasts – Ranked Weak to Strong:Venmora – poison enchantress
Drothul – soul corrupter
Scindarel – illusion master
Zephyrix – wind/lightning
Thargul – necromancer
AelSyra – phoenix goddess
Vorthanox – war beast
Xal'Vakar – reality bender
Kanexus – stone titan
Erevhanthe – ocean queen
Lumentoa – time strategist
Nyxarion – sleeping god king
And no, don't think just because Venmora is ranked #1, she's weak.
Because when these beasts fight as a squad — they can destroy a city in 15 minutes.
Let that sink in.
Why Did They Wake Up?
Because someone sealed away a massive divine power.
They sensed it.
And now, they want it.
That's where Drothul heads — to find that sealed power and unlock the rest.
He goes straight to Shadow and Fragment (Aarav's parents).
And what does he do?
He enslaves them.
Drains their power.
Seals their souls into blank crystals.
Just before it's too late, they scream:
"Aarav… run!!"
But of course, he doesn't.
He steps into the fire.
And from there —
You already know what happens in Chapter 13.
Final Words
This chapter?
Yeah, it's a filler.
A calm before the chaos.
But every piece here?
It matters.
You've seen only a glimpse.
Just wait till you see what's coming.
And maybe… just maybe…
"The one Aarav faces…
Was once the same as him."
See you in Chapter 15.
