Chapter 3: Departure
"I've enjoyed my life for a short time since I met her. When I first saw her, she made me forget all the difficult times I've been through in my life. I've only known her for 15 years, but she made my life during those 15 years indescribable. 15 years might seem like a very long time, but believe me, it's a short period of time for someone who's lived for over 400 years. But everything turned upside down. They started chasing me, all because of my Bloodline. They wanted to collect my blood for their rituals. I wasn't the first choice, of course, because they prefer the easy and weaker options first, so they chased my children when I wasn't around, they killed my wife because of that, and slaughtered my children for their blood. When they found out their blood was mixed and not of a high-level Bloodline, they started chasing me. And of course, I have great power to take revenge, but I could only kill some of them because I'm alone; no matter how strong I am, I can't fight a whole army. Damn it, if only I were smarter when I was young, if only I were stronger, if only I hadn't been deceived, everything would have been fine now. No... if I had that power and intelligence, I wouldn't have met her. At least there was something good about it..."
"But that's okay because everything will be fixed. Everything will get better. Everything I hope for will become true, because I... because I... because I succeeded in the rituals," said a man with long, flowing white hair, floating in an empty, pitch-black void, a wicked smile spreading across his face.
"I'll never be a hero! And I won't be weak! This time I'll be the evil that will destroy everything in its way! I'll be the enemy that will make everyone on Earth and in the galaxy tremble just by saying its name. I'll be the absolute evil... that will rule this world!"
The man's voice echoed through the darkness, filled with bitterness and determination. His eyes glowed with an ominous light as he clenched his fists, his veins pulsating with power. He had endured centuries of torment and loss, watching his loved ones perish at the hands of those who sought to exploit his Bloodline.
"They thought they could control me. They thought they could use me for their own gain," he muttered, his voice laced with a chilling resolve. "But now, I will show them the true extent of my power. I will become the darkness they fear, the nightmare they cannot escape. No one will stand in my way."
With a burst of energy, the man's form began to change. Dark tendrils of energy wrapped around him, morphing his appearance into something sinister and formidable. His eyes glowed with an otherworldly intensity, and a malicious grin spread across his face.
"From now on, I am not just a victim of their schemes. I am the master of their destruction," he declared, his voice booming with newfound power. "I will unleash chaos upon this world, and no one will be safe. The era of my suffering ends here. The era of my dominance begins now!"
The void around him trembled with his dark aura, the very fabric of space and time bending to his will. He raised his hands to the heavens, and a surge of malevolent energy crackled around him, ready to be unleashed upon the unsuspecting world.
"I am... the harbinger of the end," he whispered, his voice a chilling promise of devastation to come.

Two weeks passed amid a fog of preparations, laughter, and genuine moments. The family was a whirlwind of activity as everyone tried to make the most of Lincoln's remaining time at home. They went on family outings and exchanged late-night conversations, and Lincoln spent quality time with each of his sisters individually. But now, the day had come, and Lincoln stood in the living room, a bag by his side and his heart heavy with a mix of excitement and sadness.
Outside, the sleek black car was waiting, with the driver standing by the door, ready to take Lincoln to the airport. The reality of that moment sank deep within him, and the finality of it all felt overwhelming.
