For the first time in his life, he felt completely powerless.
This trial…
It wasn't about fighting.
It wasn't about skill.
It was about endurance.
Could he keep moving forward… even if he had nothing left?
Aiden clenched his fists.
"You think taking my power is enough to stop me?"
His voice echoed into the abyss.
No answer.
Just silence.
Aiden took a step forward.
Then another.
Then another.
The void didn't change.
Minutes passed.
Hours.
Days.
Aiden kept moving.
But the darkness never ended.
His mind screamed at him.
What if this is forever?
What if there's nothing at the end?
What if you're truly alone?
Aiden's steps slowed.
No.
He forced himself to keep moving.
I don't care how long it takes.
I don't care if I have nothing.
I will never stop.
—𝘊𝘙𝘈𝘊𝘒—!
The void shuddered.
Aiden paused.
And then—he saw it.
A single light in the distance.
Small.
Flickering.
But real.
Aiden grinned.
"Found you."
He ran toward it.
