NOVPUBPov Zaya’s:
At first my mind was blank, I didn’t know who I was, I didn’t know where I was, all that existed was a great comfort.
I could feel something colliding and it made me happy somehow, these collisions form swirls and cycles that were beautiful in a way.
I could see everything and hear everything, but at the same time I felt everything as if it were inside me.
What I thought was beautiful was slowly causing harm to me, I didn’t understand how I knew this since I didn’t feel anything, but it was a certainty that I couldn’t understand and that was when the voices emerged.
"Don’t stand still, follow suit..." (Cold Voice)
"Collision of opposites forms a cycle, life and death, body and Soul..." (Warm Voice)
"Don’t just watch and try to let your instinct guide you..." (Cold Voice)
"Follow our power, don’t resist..." (Warm Voice)
The voices spoke inside me, I didn’t understand what they were saying, but I understood the meaning, everything was so strange.
I felt like I collided with myself as I let myself be carried away by the 2 powers, then I spun around becoming part of the cycle and that’s when my eyes opened.
"..." (I)
"Hands, I have Hands... what are Hands?" (I)
My body had formed but I could not control it as I was dragged by the flow of power to a place full of statues, meanwhile my previously blank mind was quickly filling with thoughts and memories.
I didn’t care about those things, all I did was float everywhere riding the waves of power I was seeing, it was fun, I also tried poking the statues, but I couldn’t get close to half of them and at most I managed to touch 2 of the statues while the third was very interesting and I made it my bed.
"Comfortable, but I’m hungry." (I)
As soon as the thought of hunger arose I felt my body spin even though it wasn’t spinning, I didn’t understand anything and I didn’t even try, it was a funny sensation as something was spinning around me.
Soon a new type of energy appeared coming straight towards me, as soon as I touched it it was absorbed and rotated with me or within me, this made the hunger go away, but my eyes focused on a pool in which I jumped and began to swim listening to the voices once again.
"You have created your own cycle of life and death, so remain that way and let the power of Zenos flow through it." (Warm Voice)
"Let the power of the Curse expand, do not contain its meaning in the cycle itself." (Cold Voice)
"Together more apart, 3 in just 1, make your body real and feel what you are!" (Cold Voice/Warm Voice)
Suddenly my mind was divided into 3, I could see 3 points of view and in each there is only 1 of the powers I felt before, the only constants were me and the pool.
I spent years swimming in blood, my body being born and growing as I manipulated the life around me.
I spent years watching bodies rot and Souls being dragged away, my body slowly wasting away while I understood the depth of death.
I spent years feeling a curse corrupt everything it touched as it spread unchecked, transforming everything in its path, then I understood the meaning of the curse.
In 3 points of view I live understanding 3 totally different powers, when all my points of view came together in just 1, I felt my mind was confused as if I had returned to the beginning, my body was also heavier and when I left the red pool I saw the doors opening.
When he entered I threw myself on top of her, grabbing his face, it was so fun, his ears, his skin, his scales, his eyes and his hair.
Everything was so different and I felt so curious, the two voices from before still whisper in my ear, I couldn’t help but listen to them and adjust the circulation of the 3 powers within my body.
While I was curious about the one in front of me, he seemed to be talking while looking at the two statues that I could touch, I didn’t care what he was saying, I didn’t hear him answering sometimes, none of that mattered to me.
At first I didn’t think about anything, but now I was driven almost by pure curiosity and little by little my mind filled with more thoughts.
I slowly felt the 3 powers nourishing my body, I realized that the voices were somehow talking to the one who was close to me and I was only listening to half of the conversation.
In a few minutes I realized that my fiancée was understanding more and more things at the same time that she was also remembering more about myself, I realized that I was in the process of maturing my race even though it was not contained in stone as it was in the past.
As the minutes passed I felt better and better, I could feel my mind, body and Soul as one at the same time that the 3 energies were in balance, a cycle of life and death formed my body and with the power of the Curse a with me.
The white charge I once accepted from Tarzor to free me, rose from within my Soul devouring the cycle of life and death as it absorbed the curse into itself, the and became one.
At that moment my mind was clear and mature enough to perceive everything that happened, I felt the power of the one in front of me on my face and body, it was Holy Power that I had felt many times in the past, but it was Warm and comforting.
After that I stopped treating him as if he were a toy, the regression to my childish mentality was something I didn’t expect and it was shameful, but there was nothing I could do about it as it is part of the maturation process.
When I was once again physically and mentally balanced, he introduced himself as Zenos, Hela’s Father, I already knew who he was, his presence was something I recognized immediately.
He started talking to me explaining who he was, where we are and whose voices I heard, then he talked about being a Divine Herald and I couldn’t help but smile.
He didn’t realize that I’m already connected to him, maybe he considers our connection to be the same as the one he has with other people or with his Family, but with me it’s different because this connection is part of my own Soul.
Being a Divine Herald for him is perfect for me, with a stronger connection I will have greater possibilities in the future, I will be able to go to more places, do more things and I will always be safe even if Evil Gods try to do something against me.
But what I seek is not him, I can feel it within him and at the same time separate, the Serpent in my Soul cries out for it, I have always longed for it and I am still not sure what it was, then it emerged from his body, a girl and Your eyes took my Soul in fullness.
"(This is what I sought...)" (I)

Pov Zenos:
I was now facing Natasha once again, she is always making me train physically, but this time I am grateful for that, the time I spent creating the Power Sources really changed my body on a fundamental level.
I haven’t lost control over my body and my power, but during the fight against Kiara I realized that I’m not making full use of my capabilities.
So, as soon as my sister called me to training, I went along.
"How was it yesterday?" (Natasha)
"She has agreed to be a Divine Herald, with that it should be complete once I get my next and final Essence." (I)
As we were talking, her sword was coming towards my right eye, I use my sword to deflect her sword further to the side of my head while the dagger in my other hand goes towards her chest only to be caught between her claws.
Our tails collide throwing us both backwards before rushing towards each other once more, our swords clash continuously creating waves of explosive power as I am slowly adjusting my power by making small changes in the rhythm, control and potency of the energies within me.
"You seem worried, something unexpected happened." (Natasha)
I think about what I heard yesterday from the Goddesses.
"(She has the cycle of life within her.)" (Goddess Mavis)
"(The spark of life, the transformation of the curse, and the inexorable end of death from which new life will generate.)" (Goddess Kalistos)
"(What’s that supposed to mean?)" (I)
"(I thought her race already had the power of death and curse.)" (I)
"(You granted my gift to her allowing her to be reborn, thus completing the cycle of life.)" (Goddess Mavis)
"(Embodying one’s own cycle of existence shouldn’t be possible, but your power of chaos has made it possible more than once.)" (Goddess Kalistos)
"(The cycle of life belongs to the Spectrum of Fate from which Chaos rules.)" (Goddess Kalistos/Goddess Mavis)
"(What does that mean?)" (I)
"(What do you guys mean by that!?)" (I)
The Gods can never be direct, always with riddles, half-truths and trials just watching when all they want is a straight answer.
"It’s nothing, at least not yet... Ghuh!!" (I)
"So let’s stop here today, you’re clearly not in the right mindset." (Natasha)
She says this after dropping her sword and throwing a punch that impacts my head against the ground, then she leaves with a smile on her face.
"What we have for today?" (I)
"Meet your Divine Heralds, we have little time before we reach Tarzor." (Alice)
