Chapter 2 - The Way Out (Death), Vol.1, Untold Secretes. Chapter,2

A few days had passed, and Kaidrix's routine was back on track. He went to work, followed by his usual gym session, and then had a brief chat with his father. However, despite his outward appearance of normalcy, Kaidrix couldn't shake off the feeling of sadness that had been plaguing him. His boss had even noticed the change in his demeanor and was worried sick about him. The reason for Kaidrix's sorrow was the approaching end of the month, which always brought back painful memories of his mother's passing. He couldn't help but think that her death was his fault. If only he had listened to her that day, she might still be alive. But the details of that fateful day were hazy, like a dream he couldn't quite recall.

All he remembered was his mother's voice, shouting at him to stop playing with the wooden sword and focus on his studies. But he hadn't listened, and later, he saw the same sword piercing through her chest. The memory was etched in his mind like a nightmare. Kaidrix's father, too, was unaware of the circumstances surrounding his wife's death. He constantly urged Kaidrix to move on, get married, and settle down. 'It's hard to live like this, ' he would say. 'You need to find happiness and live like others.' But Kaidrix couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt and responsibility for his mother's passing.

August 6th, a day that would forever be etched in Kaidrix's memory as the darkest day of his life. The day his mother left him, leaving an unfillable void in his heart. He felt like he was drowning in a sea of despair, unable to escape the crushing weight of his grief.As he sat alone, surrounded by the echoes of his own sobs, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of hopelessness. Tears streamed down his face, but he knew they would never bring her back. The pain he felt was a hollow ache, a gnawing emptiness that no other emotion could fill.His mother was more than just a parent; she was his safe haven, his guiding light. She was the warmth of a gentle breeze on a summer day, the comforting embrace of home.

No matter what challenges he faced in life, she was always there to support him, to encourage him, and to pray for his success. Kaidrix missed her terribly. He missed her bright smile, her infectious laughter, and her unwavering optimism. He missed the way she would listen to him, the way she would advise him, and the way she would love him unconditionally. He longed for her to be there to see him grow, to see him achieve his dreams, to see him become the man he was meant to be. He yearned for her to be there to share in his joys, to wipe away his tears, and to whisper words of encouragement in his ear. But most of all, he missed her love. A love that was pure, selfless, and unwavering. A love that only a mother could give. And then there were the things she would never get to see, the things she would never get to experience. She would never get to see her grandchildren, the ones she had always dreamed of spoiling and loving. She would never get to see Kaidrix settled down, happy, and content. She would never get to see the man he would become, the life he would build, and the memories he would create. All of it is gone. Finished. Taken away in an instant, leaving Kaidrix with only tears, only sorrow, and only memories.

As Kaidrix sat amidst his grief, his mind began to wander back to his childhood. He was only 7 years old when his mother passed away, leaving him with a lifetime of memories to cherish. His parents, both in their 50s, had defied the odds by bringing him into the world at an age when most couples would have been grandparents. Kaidrix often wondered how they had managed to conceive him at such a late stage in their lives. But as he looked in the mirror, he saw the unmistakable features of his parents staring back at him. His eyes, a deep brown, were identical to his mother's, and his facial structure, with its sharp jawline and prominent nose, was a carbon copy of his father's.

Despite the age gap, Kaidrix knew that his parents were his biological ones. The resemblance was too striking to be a mere coincidence. He remembered how his mother would smile at him, her eyes crinkling at the corners, and how his father would laugh, his whole face lighting up with joy. As he grew older, Kaidrix began to appreciate the sacrifices his parents had made for him. They had given him life, and in return, he had given them purpose. His mother, in particular, had devoted herself to his upbringing, pouring all her love and energy into raising him. Now, as Kaidrix navigated the dark waters of grief, he clung to these memories, holding them close to his heart. He knew that his parents had given him the gift of life, and he was determined to make them proud, even in their absence.

Time, is the great equalizer. It ticks on, relentless and unforgiving, a constant heartbeat in the universe. Yet, its nature is a paradox - gentle and cruel, kind and heartless. It's a chameleon, changing its face depending on the situation, the observer, and the observed. To one person, time may be a precious gift, a treasure to be cherished and savored. To another, it may be a thief, stealing away moments, hours, and years, leaving only memories and regret. But what is time, really? Is it a fixed, linear concept, or is it fluid, relative, and flexible? Einstein taught us that time is relative and that its passage depends on mass and velocity. The faster we move, the slower time passes. The more massive the object, the slower time ticks.

And then there's the concept of interference. When two entities interact, their time streams merge, creating a new reality. The interferer and the interfered experience time differently, their clocks ticking at disparate rates. But amidst all this complexity, there's one universal truth: time stops for no one. It's a force beyond our control, a river that flows relentlessly, sweeping us along with it. We're all trapped in its current, unable to pause or rewind. It's like we're part of a video, a series of frames that make up the movie of life. When the video is paused, nothing moves. We're frozen in time, unable to animate or change. But when the play button is pressed, time unfurls, and we're propelled forward, helpless to resist its flow.

So Time Fly's Valor Brings his son to a distant relative He saw these relatives of his one or 2 times in his lifetime but he never saw this Yong lady beside him ever in his life Valtor Told his son that she is going to be his fiancée and will marry him with her soon.

Kaidrix's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with resentment. He had never seen this woman before, yet his father was telling him she would be his fiancée. Valor's words cut deep, a harsh reminder of the life Kaidrix had been born into.'I don't want to marry her,' Kaidrix whispered, his voice laced with venom. But his father heard him, and his expression turned stern.'I didn't want to marry her to you either, Kaidrix,' Valor said, his voice firm but laced with a hint of sadness. 'I tried every possible way to give you a normal life, but your mother's words were true. You and your blood will only grow mature if You face hardship.

You will always be a kid, no matter how long you live, if you don't face challenges.'Kaidrix felt a surge of anger, but his father's next words stopped him cold.'It was your mother's wish to marry you to her. She liked her, and I don't know what she saw in her, but I hope you don't deny her. She's a good woman, Kaidrix.

'Kaidrix looked at the woman again, really looking at her. She was beautiful, her features delicate and refined. But it was her smile that caught his attention, a gentle curve of her lips that seemed to light up the room. He felt a pang in his chest, a spark of curiosity. Maybe, just maybe, this woman was different. Maybe she was the key to unlocking the secrets of his family's past, and his destiny. With a newfound sense of determination, Kaidrix nodded. 'I won't deny her,' he said, his voice firm. 'I'll marry her, Father.' Valor's expression softened a hint of relief in his eyes. 'I knew you would see it, Kaidrix. Your mother would be proud.'

 "If it is Mother's wish, I will fulfill it with every fiber of my being." His gaze drifted to the girl, her eyes wide with a mix of fear and curiosity, and then to her father, a man he had come to trust.

But.! before he could process his emotions, a violent tremor shook the ground, threatening to tear the planet asunder. Valtor's face contorted in anguish as he turned to his brother, his voice cracking with desperation."Brother, my son is now in your care. Everything depends on you. What we feared has followed us to this forsaken planet. I fear that if I stay here any longer, I will condemn the people of this world to a fate worse than death." His eyes, brimming with tears, locked onto his son, and he pressed a worn leather book and a ring into his trembling hands."I couldn't reach him, brother.

He's consumed by the darkness of his own guilt. He believes he's the reason for his mother's passing, and it's eating away at his soul. You must find a way to save him from himself." With one last, longing glance at his son, Valtor vanished into the unknown, leaving behind a chasm of despair. A menacing voice boomed through the air, "Valtor, I know you and your son are here. I have come for you. Die by my hand, or I will reduce this planet to ashes in search of you!" Kaidrix felt his heart shatter into a million pieces as he yearned to follow his father, but Valtor was gone, lost in the void. As the tremors intensified, more shockwaves reverberated from outside the Earth the satellites and asteroids were blown to smithereens.

The people on earth were confused and were in fear they had lost all communication and there was nothing they could do about this crisis.

After an eternity, his uncle spoke up, his voice laced with urgency. "Your father is in danger. He wants to leave, he can't fight here. He's worried about us and this Planet. We must leave, now!" Kaidrix was torn asunder by his desire to stay and his need to follow his father, but his uncle's firm grip dragged him and the girl through a portal to an unknown destination, leaving behind a trail of shattered dreams and broken hearts.

Kaidrix's world crumbled around him as he collapsed to the ground, overcome with anguish. He punched the earth, cursing the fate that had torn him from his father's side once again. "Why did you leave me behind? First, Mother, and now you! Are you even alive?" His screams echoed through the desolate landscape, a raw expression of his shattered heart.

His uncle's firm hands lifted him, and they walked in silence to a secluded residential area, shrouded in an eerie stillness. With a wave of his hand, his uncle cast a protective barrier around the perimeter, sealing them off from the outside world. Then, he turned to Kaidrix, his eyes brimming with compassion, and enveloped him in a warm embrace.

I'm your uncle, Kaidrix. Your mother was my sister, and her passing has left a gaping hole in my heart. Your father, aunts, and uncles – we're all reeling from the loss. But you must find the strength to carry on. Your father is resilient, but I dare not speculate about his fate. I sense he's alive, but the enemy we face is formidable, with allies at their disposal. Our family is scattered, some captured, some killed, and others still fleeing for their lives."

As his uncle's words hung in the air, Kaidrix felt the weight of his responsibilities settle upon his shoulders he knew nothing about his family bloodline and relatives. He wanted answers, He was no longer just a lost boy, It seemed like he was a survivor, a warrior in a war that had claimed so much from him already and he knew nothing about his Friends and foes. With a deep breath, he steeled himself for the journey ahead, his heart still heavy with grief, but his spirit unbroken. Kaidrix's eyes pleaded with his uncle, "Tell me everything. Who are we? What's the origin of our family? I'm lost in the dark, unaware of my friends and foes. How did Mother die? Why are we being hunted?" His voice cracked with desperation, "I want to know everything."His uncle's expression turned somber, "Kaidrix, son, I'll tell you everything, but it's a long and painful story. Make yourself comfortable, for it's a tale of bloodshed, betrayal, and loss.
