BXBX NOVEL Chapter 170 Possesed Yet Again
His wings came out on their own again, but this time, they were already grey instead of white.
\'Kye! Calm down!\'
\'Shut up Lightbringer! I didn\'t ask for you!\' Kye\'s voice was authoritative, surprising Lightbringer a great deal.
Kye\'s steps were heavy as he moved toward the door, his mind clouded by a growing darkness within him. Even his eyes which were a beautiful blue started to have a red hue inside of them.
Outside the room, Aria just come to Ras\' quarter and was talking about Kye when suddenly, she felt an oppressive aura coming from somewhere.
"Where\'s Kye?!" Aria immediately moved, followed by Ras. The latter knew that she wouldn\'t change the topic so abruptly if it wasn\'t for something important.
"Follow me." The two of them moved quickly, and not even 10 seconds later, they arrived at where Kye was supposed to be asleep.
"W-what\'s that?" Ras asked Aria as his eyes widened slightly. "Is it coming from Kye?"
"I\'m scared to admit that things are more complicated than it seems."
Right before they could turn the doorknob, someone came out of the room. It was Kye, but different from what they remembered.
His halo had cracks on it, while his wings darkened by the seconds. As for his cute blue eyes, they turned sharp and menacing.
"Kye!" Aria immediately called out for Kye as the latter looked at her.
"...Aria?" Kye blinked, disoriented as if he had just woken up from a nightmare. He stared at Aria and Ras with his familiar blue eyes, his wings and halo returning to their normal, pristine state. The oppressive aura that had surrounded him dissipated like a passing storm.
Aria and Ras exchanged relieved glances. It seemed that Kye had managed to wrest control from the darkness that had threatened to consume him. But the questions remained. What was happening to him? Why was this darkness within him emerging, and what triggered it?
"Kye," Ras spoke, his voice filled with concern. "Are you alright? What just happened?"
Kye rubbed his temples, his expression a mixture of confusion and distress. "I... I don\'t know? What are you talking about? Oh... why are my wings here? Weren\'t they inside? It\'s the same for my halo... how strange."
Kye\'s confusion deepened as he looked at his own wings and halo, as if seeing them for the first time. His fingers gently traced the intricate patterns of his halo, and he extended his wings experimentally, watching the feathers shimmer in the light.
Aria and Ras exchanged concerned glances. Something was undoubtedly amiss, and they couldn\'t ignore the fact that Kye seemed to have no memory of his own actions during the episodes of darkness.
"Kye," Ras began cautiously, "we were just discussing something important. Do you remember anything about feeling... different?"
Kye frowned, trying to recall the events that had unfolded. "I... I remember feeling angry and frustrated like something was taking control of me. But it\'s all a blur."
Aria stepped closer, her analytical mind at work. "It\'s like you were possessed, Kye. Like there\'s another presence within you."
Kye\'s eyes widened in alarm as he processed their words. "Possessed? But how? By what? Aren\'t I supposed to be immune to such things? I mean, I\'m an angel, so surely such things can\'t happen to me, right?"
as exchanged a concerned look with Aria before replying. "Kye, while it\'s true that angels are less susceptible to possession and malevolent forces, nothing is entirely immune in this universe. Even angels can face unique challenges or encounters."
Aria nodded in agreement. "And remember, you have a rare combination of holy and demonic energies within you. That might be a factor we need to consider."
Kye\'s unease grew as he grappled with this unsettling revelation. "So, you\'re saying that this darkness could be related to my... unique energy composition?"
"It\'s a possibility," Ras admitted. "But we won\'t know for sure until we investigate further. Our top priority is to understand what\'s happening to you and find a way to help."
Kye took a deep breath, not quite liking the outcome. "How about my friends? I came here to find them in the first place. I don\'t really care about what\'s happening to me as long as I can find them again."
"Don\'t worry, Kye. I\'m already working on it," Ras said truthfully with a smile. "But you need to remember that if you were to get into this state again with your friends, you could potentially hurt them."
"Hurt... them?"
"Yes. It\'s too dangerous for you to move on your own right now. You\'re forbidden to go anywhere as long as we don\'t find a solution to your problem!" Aria said with an authoritative tone, enabling Kye to answer.
Suddenly, Kye remembered something. It was when he fainted in the cave. The dream he had there, or rather a nightmare. \'No, it can\'t be!\' His eyes widen slightly. \'Is it him who\'s trying to possess me?\'
As Kye\'s memory of the nightmare resurfaced, a chilling thought gnawed at the edges of his mind. Could the malevolent presence from that dream be the same force now attempting to possess him? His eyes widened in realization, and a shiver ran down his spine.
"I think... I think it might be the same presence from that dream," Kye admitted, his voice quivering with uncertainty. "A few weeks ago, I had a dream where I met someone like me." He said, looking directly into Ras and Aria\'s eyes. "This... this person had the same features as me. Same hair, body, eyes, wings, halo. The only different things were that his wings were dark, and his presence was ominous."
