My Angelic System

Chapter 171 The Truth

?

Ras and Aria exchanged a concerned glance, absorbing Kye's words. A dream where Kye had encountered a sinister version of himself, marked by dark wings and an ominous presence – it was a revelation that sent chills down their spines as well.

Ras and Aria exchanged a deep, concerned glance as Kye revealed the details of his dream. A chilling sensation settled in the room, and it was clear that they were all beginning to grasp the sinister implications of the situation.

"Someone like you, with dark wings and an ominous presence," Ras murmured, his brow furrowing. "That aligns disturbingly well with what's been happening to you."

Aria nodded, her analytical mind already processing the information. "It could be that this entity from your dream is the source of the darkness that's been trying to take control of you. But why? What does it want with you, Kye?"

Kye's voice quivered as he spoke and looked down, "I-is it because my dad is a demon and my mother an angel?" Kye knew that Ras and Aria could be trusted, so he didn't really mind telling them the truth. He was just... scared of the implication that what he said could have.

Ras and Aria exchanged another glance, this time one of understanding. They had suspected this might be the case, given Kye's unique energy composition, but hearing it directly from him confirmed their suspicions.

"It's possible," Ras said gently, placing a reassuring hand on Kye's shoulder. "Your dual heritage, the mixing of angelic and demonic bloodlines, could be a factor in what's happening to you. It might explain why you're so different from other angels or demons. But Kye, you're not an abomination. You're a unique individual, and your existence alone challenges the beliefs of both sides."

"B-but... why am I like this then?" Kye's eyes started to get watery. "Why can't I either be an angel or a demon? Why must I have those two energies? I'm scared, Ras, Aria. I'm scared of hurting you or my other friends."

As tears rolled down the ground, Ras and Aria couldn't help but feel a deep sense of empathy for Kye. They knew that this was a heavy burden for their young friend to bear, and it was entirely understandable that he would have such concerns.

Ras knelt beside Kye, offering a comforting embrace. "Kye, it's not your fault. You were born this way, and it doesn't make you any less of a person. Your unique heritage is a part of who you are, and it doesn't define your actions or choices. We've seen the goodness in you, the kindness and bravery. That's what matters."

Aria joined them, her voice was soft but resolute. "And as for the two energies, perhaps there's a reason you possess both. Maybe you're meant to bridge the gap between angels and demons, to show that coexistence is possible. We'll help you learn to control and balance these energies. You won't hurt us, Kye, because we won't let you face this alone."

Kye slowly wiped away his tears, feeling a renewed sense of determination. He looked at Ras and Aria with gratitude. "Thank you, both of you. I'm so lucky to have friends like you." He said with a husky voice.

Ras smiled, ruffling Kye's hair affectionately. "And we're lucky to have you, Kye. We'll face whatever challenges come our way together, and we'll protect each other."

Aria nodded in agreement. "Now, let's focus on finding your friends and dealing with that entity from your dream. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but we're up to the task. But first thing first, go and take a shower, Kye. It will help you feel better." She smiled kindly, which Kye nodded before going.

Once he was out of their watch, Aria turned to Ras with a grave expression. "Things are worse than I had expected."

"Yeah, it only confirmed your suspicions."

"Sigh. I don't understand. It's supposed to be impossible to conceive a child with such strong different energies, and yet here he is."

"What's worse is that the demonic energy coming out from him is... too oppressive. I've only met one person like this, and it was when I was a child."

"You're talking about Lucifer?" Aria asked as Ras nodded. "Could he be his father? But then, for Kye to be an angel, it only meant that his mother was equally strong or else he would have become a demon."

"That is most likely the case," Ras sat down to relax a little. All of this matter was more nerve-wracking than he had expected. "Lightbringer must have been a gift from his father, while his halo must have been a gift from her mother."

Aria leaned against a nearby wall, deep in thought. "If that's the case, it means Kye's parents must have had a very compelling reason to keep their gifts sealed within him. It's not a decision they would have taken lightly. Perhaps they foresaw the potential consequences of him possessing both holy and demonic energies."

Ras nodded. "And it also explains the entity in his dream, the one that seems to want to possess him. It could just be his demonic side that tries to take control of the body."

Aria's eyes narrowed as she considered this possibility. "That could be a plausible explanation. If Kye's demonic side is trying to assert dominance, it might have been held in check by the seal placed on him. But now, with his emotions running high and the circumstances he's facing, it could be attempting to break free."

Ras tapped his fingers pensively. "So, our task is not only to uncover the secrets of his parents but also to find a way to strengthen the seal within him. We can't let his demonic side take control."

Aria pushed herself off the wall, determination in her gaze. "We'll need to delve into ancient texts, consult experts, and maybe even seek out angels and demons. Sigh just the thought of dealing with them is making tiring me."

Ras nodded with a sigh on his own. "And we can't let Kye know about this yet. He's already burdened with so much. We'll protect him, no matter what."
