Astrovoid Shower- Celestial University Book 2: A Bully Romance

Chapter 26: The Scopes of Voids!

"Fae magic and skin are not the only source of food or willpower for the Voids."

Sehki looked over to his own allies he took advantage of. "Even as a Constain?"

"Eventually I gained sentience as a Constain and De:Void, leading my pack into doing the same. However," verbally recalling the terror in the wake of the desolated wasteland that was Earth, slashing and devouring the prey for his pack to eat, wondering what this newfound will and understanding could provide while deciding they were going to eliminate anyone who got in their way.

The five of them came across three defensive Voids all with a humanoid shape comparable to him more than them. His group immediately went to attack them, as his voice matched his hands reach in vain attempts to save three of them, before all but one were severely wounded by the smallest of their opponents.

Confused and enraged, the figure soon to be known as Lumin gathered the trio, leaving the fourth member at the mercy of their assailants, desperate for a means to keep them alive.

He had left them behind, devouring and backstabbing other Void creatures while they sensed a power source far into the sky of what they considered a haven of magic. But in the midst of that fascination, one by one, other Voids took notice of his group's higher magic power, working in tandem to slowly ambush them.

Something snapped in Lumin, and he eventually came towards the sea above the floating fortress in the sky. Gaining a human form, but wasting magic in vain attempts to help him reach the surface, the Void crashed to the ground in desperation for revenge, and the right to live.

"Will I die like this? What is this hunger I'm craving?"

A figure grabbed his hand.

"Want the answers to what you seek? Allow me to study you."

Before warning, he found himself above an urban, metallic city forged with fiery monuments and industrial organizations, while he was handed food.

"You live here?"

"Born and raised. Though you'll have to stay with me. For you, us fae are borderline food without discipline."

Lumin recalled being fed genuine food, the awkward use of living in a bedroom, seeing the world through a new lens of more than fauna, flora, and waste around. But the truth of the world's origins.

"But we were not granted proper sentience?"

"It's possible the original progenitor of Voids wasn't able to properly distribute it amongst the world. But if you can show the world they're capable of becoming fae like but without mindless conflict, we can end the conflict that transpired for centuries."

"So Fae and Void could live in harmony? People don't believe in coexistence?"

"We've gotten so accustomed to survival that some will see the notion as a threat. But you and I can prove them wrong. A world where neither of us have to lose our loved ones."

"I see," gripping onto their memories. "What do I call you?"

"Oh that's simple," letting him know, but had to come up with a name for him.

"How about Lumin: a unique stone to amplify the world. Let's save the world: together."

A simple dream became an unreached nightmare as his friend found them home raided and under attack.

"You are under arrest for the illegal possession of the Voids. Prepare for execution!"

"How did they find out?"

He tried protecting her but the onslaught and destruction of the environment and ceiling left the home he grew accustomed to speechless.

"Someone must have leaked the information! Lumin," summoning a spell on his arm. "Go!"

"I won't leave you behind!"

With a spell and a wave of their hand, Lumin was teleported away before the room crumbled around his friend, finding himself back in the same place he came. Devastated, he could only hope for their survival, using the emblem on his hand to track down other Voids with similar potential.

"How could those feeble minds see me as a weapon against them? I lived exactly how they requested!"

As his rage for fae humanity grew, he hunted out the signatures of any opponents, in vain attempts to revive the consciousness of his fallen brethren.

Unfortunately, his path crossed the trio who decimated his pack before: finding one of them in the shape of a ram while the older ones had emblems of the Gemini.

"The Zodiac they mentioned," rushing in to answer questions they refused, pushing him back.

"That power isn't worth being used by a brute like you," said the one with the Ram emblem, vanishing before he could ask questions or seek his revenge.

Those were the Zodiac signs they mentioned. The strongest one, the one I need: the king of beasts! Leo!

He ventured out into the world, first finding and absorbing the power of Voids and militant fae who had advanced towards areas below Terra until properly acquiring his Corona Borealis powers: manifesting his aura into light shaped projectiles.

Using it, he terrorized and commanded fear amongst the lesser Voids, hunting down those exclusively with lion features who absorbed Leo Zodiac magic, recalling his friend's message about developing one's StellArts.

Eventually, his regular and Zodiac StellArts were completed. He found himself inside a gigantic hole of consuming energy: the will of the Void progenitor themselves granting him the sight that left him in awe.

"A world where Voids are free to roam and fae are no more! The society that robbed an innocent life for assisting me," bowing. "I'll see the future of our kind to the very end!"

As he returned back to reality, a fae approached him.

"Is that you?"

"You and I lost the same ally. The idea of fae-Void conflict won't come to pass. The future of the fae," offering their hand.

"Will be salvation granted by the Voids," taking hold of a newfound partnership that would take massive effect on Terra four years later.
