Chapter 47: The Darkness of the Past Comes Back

  The Void, the root of all their problems, was none other than his own flesh and blood. It was a truth that cut deeper than any blade, and it was a truth that shocked him and left him in disbelief. "You..." Phoenix Jr. the Void, or rather his father, nodded solemnly. "Yes, son. I am your father and I am truly sorry for what I have done." The words hung in the air like a thick fog. His father, long thought dead, stands before him as the Void, the embodiment of darkness. “Why did he become empty? The father's eyes were filled with sadness as he began to explain. "That wasn't my intention, son. I was betrayed by my own brother, your uncle, who wanted power and control. He believed I was a threat to him, so I However, he survived, albeit with severe injuries. "Phoenix Jr. listened, and his anger and pain gradually turned to understanding. His father was a victim just like him. But that didn't excuse the chaos he caused in the world. Why didn't you tell me the truth?" Phoenix Jr. asked, his father sighed. "I thought it was the only way to protect you. I knew your fate was tied to mine, and I couldn't bear to see you suffer as much as I did. It was.” I believed that by becoming the Void, I would be able to muster the power I needed to thwart my uncle's plan.'' Phoenix Jr. shook his head, conflicting emotions swirling within him. ''But you have caused so much pain and so much destruction.'' His father's eyes filled with tears. "I know, son. All I can do now is seek redemption and make amends." Phoenix Jr. took a deep breath, his chest heavy with the weight of his newfound knowledge. Phoenix Jr. said, "But if you really regret what you did, it won't be easy if you're ready." "I'll stand by you to right your wrongs." ” The father's face lit up with hope. ''Thank you, son.'' Father and son stood in the middle of the darkness that had plagued their lives for so long. However, they will work together to confront the darkness of the past and bring light back to the world. His father stood there, deepening their conversation, understanding began to deepen. Although the wounds of the past are still fresh, there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon. "Dad, what's wrong?" Phoenix Jr. asked, a mixture of curiosity and concern in his voice. His father's gaze sank to the ground, lost in painful memories. “After I was thought to have died, a group of healers took me in and treated my injuries. You saved my life, but I am forever changed. The darkness that consumed me during The Void left its mark on my soul. Phoenix Jr. listened carefully and realized that his father was suffering unimaginably. It was a stark reminder that even those who made grave mistakes lacked salvation. His father continued: He said, "I knew I had to find a way to stop my uncle, who had become even more powerful while I was away. I believed that by transforming into the Void, I could gather the power I needed to stand up to him." I was there.” Phoenix Jr. slowly nodded and began to piece together the puzzle of his father's life. "So that's where you made the prophecy?" "Yes," his father admitted. "I had to take you on this journey so that you could become the hero this world needs. But I never wanted you to suffer because of my decisions. did." Tears filled Phoenix Jr.'s eyes as he realized the heavy burden his father carried. "Dad, you sacrificed so much." His father reached out and placed his hand on Phoenix Jr.'s shoulder. “I did what I thought was necessary at the time, and now I know it was wrong. Phoenix Jr. felt conflicting emotions run through him. On the one hand, he was angry at his father for the pain he had caused. On the other hand, I saw genuine repentance in his father's eyes. "I need to understand all of this," Phoenix Jr. said. His father nodded, a glimmer of hope still in his eyes. “Take as much time as you need, son. I'll be here when I'm ready. So their paths temporarily parted, and everyone returned to their own thoughts and feelings. The darkness that had hung over her life for so long gradually lifted, but the road to salvation was not easy. It was a journey that she had to take together as father and son to heal the wounds of the past and build a better future.
