Kapitel 562: Third Arc (Fallen Heart) - 327. Generational?
Third Arc (Fallen Heart) - 327. Generational?
The more Angel thought about it, the less sense it seemed to make. He considered another possibility—one that chilled him to his core. What if the shadow's plan was even more insidious than he had imagined? What if the crystal's purpose was not just to kill, but to corrupt? To turn him into something he was not, to make him a vessel of darkness rather than a knight of light?
If that were true, then his very existence posed a threat not just to his enemies, but to his own family, to everyone he held dear. He thought of Rose beside him, her soft breathing steady and calm. She trusted him, believed in him, but what if he became a danger to her as well? What if the crystal's influence over him grew stronger, warping his thoughts, his actions, until he was no longer himself?
And then there was the matter of his future. If he and Rose had a child, the blood in that child's veins would still be Reinheart, even if they bore the name of the Moonfall family. Would that child be cursed as well? Would the shadow's vengeance extend to their offspring, perpetuating the cycle of darkness and pain that had plagued his own life?
Angel's mind raced with the possibilities. If the crystal's influence could somehow seep into his child, binding them to the same fate, it would mean a lifetime of suffering not just for him, but for the next generation. Could he bear to see his child, an innocent life born of love, subjected to the same torment?
Angel took a deep breath and looked away from Rose, his mind spinning with the dark possibilities. There was a sharp pain in his chest. He couldn't imagine it—couldn't bear the thought of his future, of his child being tainted by the same darkness that had haunted his own life.
'I'm overthinking again,' Angel reminded himself, trying to calm the storm inside his mind. He knew that it was a possibility, but he also knew that the crystal was a mysterious force, unpredictable and enigmatic. It wasn't certain to happen.
There was a chance, however slim, that he could prevent it, that he could find a way to break the curse. And if it came down to it, if there was no other way, he might have to make the ultimate sacrifice to end this darkness once and for all. He had thought of it before—bringing the crystal with him to his death, taking the curse to the grave so that no one else would suffer because of it.
But then a new thought crossed his mind. His brow furrowed deeper. "Wait a minute…" he muttered aloud, his voice barely more than a whisper in the quiet room. "What exactly are the main specifications for the crystal's host?" he asked himself, the words slipping out almost unconsciously.
Angel knew that the crystal wouldn't choose its host at random. There had to be criteria, specific requirements for the one who would carry its dark power. He remembered the stories of the late Prince Lucian. The crystal had been forcibly inserted into Lucian's body, but it had rejected him, leading to his untimely death. The crystal was not something that could simply be passed to anyone—it required something specific, something unique in its host.
And then another, more unsettling thought struck him. If the crystal was indeed an heirloom of sorts, a dark artifact passed down through generations, wouldn't that mean he was related by blood to the girl in the image? Or perhaps even to the shadow itself?
Angel's heart skipped a beat as he considered the implications. If the crystal had a lineage, a bloodline it followed, then his own connection to it was no mere coincidence. He had always assumed that his fate as the crystal's host was an accident, a cruel twist of destiny. But what if it was something more? What if he was always meant to be the crystal's vessel, chosen not just because of his strength or his will, but because of his heritage?
'Could it be…' Angel thought, his mind racing with this new possibility. 'Could I be connected to the girl or even to my father's murderer?'
