Third Person Point of View

❁❁❁❁

Aroavo's instincts told her to run away. The closer that the man's hand closed on hers, the more sweat appeared all over her body, and the more she could see her own death. Aroavo had the ability to look into the future, although it's only by a small amount—she could see 10 seconds into the future. So if she let him catch her, she was all but dead.

She grunted and jumped backwards, but to her horror, the man had already caught up to her. She thrust her arm forward trying to attack him, but her arm exploded. This left Aroavo stunned, but she couldn't scream or yell in pain. She began to restore her own hand, but her mind was too anxious, so it took her a long time to do so.

Aroavo had rose to her status. She was nothing, she was a weakling, and she was treated like garbage because she was weak. So she wanted to punish everything—so she started to train, and slowly the powers that lay dormant within her began to activate. She then used her newly acquired powers to bring everything and everyone below her.

She wanted them to know how much she suffered because of their actions. When she saw their looks of despair, it made her happy—ecstatic even. So she continued on this path of destruction. However, she didn't think she would stop, but...she did. One day, during her conquest she came across a young man.

Even after she subjected him to various evil things, his smile never left him. She became curious and asked him why he could keep smiling like that, and the answer he gave her stunned her.

'Wrath will produce wrath and anger will beget anger. Whatever hurt you in the past, you must let go of it. If you wish, I can help you work through it.'

Those words left her speechless. However, because of the persona she had built, she could only throw him in prison and then visit him at night to speak to him. This went on for a year, until...Aroavo fell in love with that man, and the man too fell in love with Aroavo.

However, she couldn't stop now since she was deep in the process. So she decided to make him her personal adviser, and that was how he got out of prison. However, the people that were 'close' to her began to suspect something, and one day he was killed by them.

The hate and rage in Aroavo had slowly begun to leave her—it had begun to dissipate. However, this one action—this betrayal broke her. It only reminded her that life was disgusting and it was not worth it. So she killed those people and came back with a vengeance. She decided to spread this hatred and rage to different planets, worlds, and universes.

She began to conquer planets to show them that absolute despair existed, and no matter how hard they worked or trained, they couldn't stop her, or the ones she recruited as her subordinates. Her 'right hand' were fighters that stood up to her and lost. If they refused to become her 'right hand', she would kill them and then their planet/world/universe.

But if they accepted, then she would spare their world, however, it would be under her jurisdiction from then on and she would control everything they did. Most accepted and they prospered. Even after they died, she would keep their world as they were useful to her.

Everything was supposed to be in her hands...but she then encountered another powerful and potential right hand. He killed her new one, and then...this 'thing' appeared in front of him.

"What are you?!" she shouted at Jin. The man in front of her did not answer. She flew further away and fired several beams of energy at him, but as soon as they were inches from his face, they would vanish.
