Beast Evolution Forge

Chapter 23 Peace

The night was quiet but Vell on the other hand was furious, barely containing his rage. He let someone or something that knew about his framing get away. it ate him him unbelievably that the ground beneath him was sinking due to the pressure coming from.

[master-]

"SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU, YOU ALSO KNOW SOMETHING, I JUST KNOW IT, WHO SENT YOU TO ME, WHAT IS YOUR REAL GOAL IN ALL OF THIS."

[..... I can't say anything because you told-]

"THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP TALKING TO ME."

[Yes....master.]

Wren rubber herself against him, trying to calm him down but this changed nothing, his mind was wandering too far until he finally reached a breaking point.

"FUUUUUUCK!!!!!"

His roar was loud, filled with raw emotion and power. the ground itself shook and even Yenna who passed out woke up, confused at the situation. She approached him with the intention of placing her hand gently on the his shoulder but after seeing the vibe around him, she maintained a safe distance.

"Hey, are you ok? what happened to that ominous figure?"

"....leave me alone please, i don't want to lash out on you."

"Ok." She knew better than to annoy him. She left him alone and went back to sit next to the fire while taking occasional glances at him.

'just what happened for him to be in such a bad mood? I wonder if singing would cheer him up...yeah, it should be fine, he helped me out a lot, i can at least do this for him.'

Even the thought was making her body shake from embarrassment, thinking about what if he doesn't like it or laughs at her, will her heart be able to take it.

"Here goes nothing."

She closed her eyes, drawing in a deep, calming breath. Her voice started soft, as if testing the waters of her own courage. She thought about life, love, and the fleeting beauty of peace, things she often clung to in her quiet moments. The melody was tender, carrying a warm, soothing rhythm like a lullaby to the restless night.

"When morning breaks, the world anew,Nôv(el)B\\jnn

A sky of gold, a brighter hue,

Each breath we take, a gift, a sign,

Of fleeting moments, sweet, divine."

Her cheeks flushed, her hands fidgeting as she tried to form a coherent response. "I-I didn't mean to interrupt or anything... I just thought..."

"You thought I needed it," he finished for her, offering her another, genuine smile. "And you were right."

For the first time, she allowed herself to look directly at him, finding his calm presence reassuring despite the overwhelming energy that had surrounded him moments before.

"Does it always... feel like this?" she asked hesitantly, still looking at him, tightly holding her shirt for courage.

He raised an eyebrow. "Like what?"

"Carrying so much. The anger, the pain. It feels like it's... breaking you."

His expression darkened briefly, the weight of her words striking closer than he expected. He leaned back slightly, gazing at the stars, remembering all that happened and all the things he did, especially in the sewers.

"....It does. Sometimes it feels like it's all I am now, a bundle of rage and regrets. But..." He glanced at her again, a faint smile tugging at his lips. "Tonight reminded me that maybe there's more. If I let myself see it."

She hesitated, then tentatively reached out, placing a hand on his arm.

"You don't have to carry it alone, you know. Even if you feel like no one can understand... I'll try."

He looked at her hand, then back at her, surprised by the sincerity in her voice. He didn't pull away, instead placing his own hand lightly over hers.

"Thank you. That means more than you know."

The moment lingered between them, a fragile connection formed amidst the chaos of their lives. Her heart raced and she felt a warmth spreading through her chest, not just from the fire but from the genuine gratitude in his gaze.

He chuckled softly, breaking the tension. "Why are so nervous, did you think about it, what i asked you back at your house?"

'eh, why is he bringing that up right now.'

She removed her hand and stood up in a straight line, mechanically shifted her body in the other direction and looked down for a few seconds.

"O-Oh, that...i am still not ready to give an answer. can i think about it some more?"

"Hahah, So adorable...sure, take your time."

For the first time in months, he finally felt like his old self, all the rage, pain, he let it all go and he felt free, it was a great feeling for him. He glanced at his hand and he imitated the figure from earlier, creating a similar orb to it then crushing it, with a smile on his face.

"So that's how you do it huh, interesting."

'Yes, just this once, i should let go of the rage and just relax....the sky sure is beautiful.'
