Chapter 886: King's Spark
Pov Natasha (Living Brutality):
I was on the main hall balcony with my eyes closed, it took me a while to snap out of the nightmare Caitlyn had put me through, this kind of thing hasn't affected me in millennia.
"I know it's there." (I)
"Looks like diminishing her power didn't affect your senses." (Caitlyn)
"I didn't feel you, with my current power it would be impossible, but I've known you since the day you were born." (I)
In our family we always take care of each other, we cannot intervene as long as our relatives are not at risk of life, but when I was born I was raised by the older sister who took care of me until I was able to take care of myself.
I did the same for Caitlyn with her older sister doing what she could to help when she wasn't busy, so I was there when Caitlyn lost control of her power, I myself fell victim to her power many times until the moment I didn't more effect on me, it helped to strengthen my heart and mind to the limit.
"That name is a joke, enough of the hell this curse creates, I didn't want it to have a name that reminds me of what this thing does to its victims." (Caitlyn)
"But it's still a very fitting name." (I)
"Natasha! I know his mind is older than the time he lived in this world as an Outsider, but his world was peaceful, he won't resist." (Caitlyn)
"You were in his mind, I'm sure if I realized that training with him a few days then you noticed it too when you entered his mind in that dream." (I)
"..." (Caitlyn)
"He's not ready, not for the King's Spark." (Caitlyn)
Caitlyn floats on her cloud pillow, a magical item she created herself to make her sleep comfortably anywhere.
I was leaning against the porch eaves when she floated to stand in front of me.
"Does he know what this curse does?" (Caitlyn)
"No, I preferred to let an expert tell him." (I)
"Why would you want him to do that? Do you know what will happen if he fails?" (Caitlyn)
"I know..." (I)
"At best he would have trauma from which he may never recover and at worst his mind would be irreparably broken." (Caitlyn)
"I already said I know." (I)
"Then why!? Why do you want to do this? Why can't you try something else?" (Caitlyn)
"He has already started to awaken his own Authority, but he doesn't understand it, he got it too fast." (I)
I look into her eyes, I know she understands what I mean.
"You better than anyone should understand what happens to an Authority out of control." (I)
"..." (Caitlyn)
"Besides, he is very unlucky, which is one of the reasons for his rapid growth, always facing difficult situations." (I)
"A True Dragon has already tried to kill him and almost succeeded, he has already faced an Evil God and personally angered the God of Light." (I)
"He doesn't have time to learn this slowly, the longer he waits, the worse it will be." (I)
"Damn it! I preferred it when your mind was simpler..." (Caitlyn)
"After living so long, we've learned a thing or two, I'll admit I'm not as smart as you or our sister, but I'm sure I'm wiser." (I)
"You died fighting an Evil God you shouldn't have faced." (Caitlyn)
"..." (I)
"I... I was just careless..." (I)
I look at her, then pull out a bottle and drink the contents before continuing this conversation.
"Do you think he can?" (Caitlyn)
"..." (I)
I think about everything I've seen so far, I think about everything I've heard from his teammates, I think about everything I've realized talking to him and I say it with certainty.
"He does it, my only concern is how he will be afterwards." (I)
"I'll go talk to him, find out what his response will be." (Caitlyn)

Pov Zenos:
I was in one of the rooms of my sister's mansion, and I was thinking about what I could understand from the conversation between my two older sisters.
"Is afraid?" (Caitlyn)
I only noticed her when she spoke, I get up from the bed and look to the side she was floating while lying on a big pillow made of clouds.
"Not going to lie, I'm a little scared." (I)
"She didn't tell you anything, did she?" (Caitlyn)
"Only the consequences, not what will happen." (I)
"King's Spark is a curse I created a long time ago to torture the King of a certain place, it was both torture and judgment." (Caitlyn)
"This curse traps the target in a nightmare of death, everyone you care about will die, die and keep dying in worse and worse ways in front of you without being able to do anything." (Caitlyn)
"This will go on for a long time for you, your mind will be racing from the curse, so time for you will pass much faster." (Caitlyn)
"So it's all a dream?" (I)
"Yes, but for you, it won't matter, you will hear their voice of agony, you will see their blood and tears in an uninterrupted hellish cycle." (Caitlyn)
"Everything will be so realistic that you won't know if it's real or fake, even if you keep saying in your mind that it's fake, it won't change what you're seeing, it won't change what you'll keep seeing." (Caitlyn)
"You will always be put in a situation where it's impossible to do anything but watch them die, the more you love or care for someone the more your heart will be trapped by your emotions that will torment your mind until it breaks." (Caitlyn)
What she was describing with numnroatonswm expression was torture, I could understand what she was saying because I've felt it before, it was the same when I thought Layla had died in the Ocean, at that moment the pain of her death, and hatred took over me to the point that I forgot that Layla was safe.
When you are consumed by emotions, reason becomes meaningless, and nothing else matters, that is the trap of emotions.
"Why did you say it was also a trial?" (I)
"Because the curse only lasts 1 day, for the target it can last for years, but that's because your mind will be racing." (Caitlyn)
"If you reach the end of the curse without having your mind broken, then it means you've learned to accept your emotions without being swallowed up by them." (Caitlyn)
"This curse tests your willpower, mind, and heart." (Caitlyn)
"Are you still going to want to do this after everything I've said?" (Caitlyn)
"..." (I)
"I decide..." (I)
