{Intro}
Omniverse is the totality of all that exists and all that does not—universes, multiverses, dimensions, realities, dreamscapes, timelines, and even concepts beyond thought.
The Multiverse is but a fragment of it, containing countless Universes, each governed by its own logic and science.
Within each Universe, objects—whether animate or inanimate—exist and behave according to its natural laws. This state of existence is known as Numb Transcendence.
When a being or object can bend or manipulate energy and events by will, thereby surpassing natural limits, it enters Post-Transcendence.
Those who can shape and rewrite the very rules of realities across the Omniverse belong to Partial Transcendence—the Absolute Conquerors of Realities (ACR).
And beyond them all lies the paradox of creation itself: Absolute Transcendence.
It is the one that both exists and does not exist, the immortal for whom death is meaningless because it is death's very definition. It feels infinite emotions and none at all. It is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent—witness to every possibility, impossibility, and contradiction across all dimensions and ignores them at the same time. It creates countless reflections of itself, erases them, and remains untouched.
It is the beginning. It is the end. It is everything, and nothing..
[ Special Part-5: The choice to sacrifice, Chapter-1]
The sound of the pendulum of a clock echoed in the hall. Pragh stood, holding a tray of cups, with concerns completely visible on his face. One of the cups was lying broken on the floor.
"What have you said?" he asked word by word, slowly in a trembling voice.
"I said, I am Ameeshell Plusto. The sister of the king of Centura, King Galiore Plusto!" Replied Ameeshell in a low and steady voice. She was unable to make eye contact with him as she was revealing some greater truth.
Pragh slowly, step by step, walked towards her and slowly kept the tray on the table and sat on the chair. His face was stuck in a shocking expression.
"Aunt Ameeshell, I always trusted you more than anyone else. Keep speaking. I want to listen to everything you have to tell me." Said Pragh in a bold voice. He was holding her hand to motivate her to speak, and his expression was making him look so curious, with some tension in his mind.
"I will keep speaking because now it's the time to end things, where they started. But I just want to make sure that you are angry with me for hiding the truth," said Ameeshell to Pragh with eyes filled with tiredness and sorrow.
"I am not; instead, I could never feel angry for any act of yours. It's not my blind faith in you, but it's my confidence that a mother never lies to his children." Pragh replied boldly with his voice shifting for another statement."But what about ending everything? I haven't understood," Pragh replied with an unsure voice that was causing him to feel anxious about something.
"I am feeling a lot of relief after hearing that, and I am very thankful to you for your belief in me!" She got some comfort, and she replied to Pragh. " And the end is that I am going to be married," she replied in a slow and steady voice, which was cracking as the tears came out. She was smiling, and her eyes were closed which were trying to block the flow of tears.
"Married? How can it be a subject of sorrow!" asked Pragh with his every breath hearable while he was speaking.
"Yeah, it is the only subject of my sorrow, as I had escaped it with so many struggles, and after thirteen years, I finally again pushed towards it," she spoke quickly in one breath as this statement evoked her to release all the stress she was storing inside her. She began panting.
Huh! Uh! Huh! Uh! Huh!.....
"Thirteen years, Aunt Ameeshell, please cool down. It happened after my birth. What did happen? I just want to know everything that made you alone. I am shocked to know that you are the sister ok King Galiore and Commander-in-Chief Amelore," said Pragh as his desire to know about her past and how she met Pragh increased.
"Yes, it happened 13 years ago. Also, Amelore Plusto is my elder brother, and King Galiore Plusto is my Eldest brother," she replied in a normal and serious tone. Her tears left marks on her cheeks, and she is now talking normally as she feels her mind is accepting her fate.
"And Amelore had come today early in the morning to me, he had finally found me and told me that you and he had a conversation on the night of my birthday." She said with a piercing tone, which might be anger.
"Yes, he had come but...." Pragh was replying when suddenly Ameeshell said in a very serious voice, " A war is going to be held, very soon."
Again a shocking news. "A war..? But why?" asked Pragh in an astonished sound as his mouth stuck open and his eyes widened. He was feeling overwhelmed after getting twists at every moment.
"Yes, A full-fledged war on a very huge scale. Between Centura and the Westura Kingdom," she said with some feeling of guilt deep beneath her heart.
"Just for a marriage, then who is going to be the bridegroom to whom your marriage is your struggle?" he was speechless about the war; still, he was trying to find the logic behind this war.
"Soviyak Velos! The prince of the Westura kingdom. The war will only take place if I refuse to be his bride. The war will take place, causing the death of a huge number of innocent lives! " She said with a voice mixed with fear and unwanted sacrifice.
"I was wondering, why didn't you refuse early and instead run and remain hidden for this much time!" he said.
"If refusal was easy, I wouldn't have left my family then. I escaped, so to find me again they got 13 years, but if I had refused earlier, the war would have taken place so early as well," replied Ameeshell.
"This means you have to sacrifice yourself or the innocent public?" Pragh asked.
"Yes!" she replied with an expression of sorrow, but her soul accepted her fate.
It was like a mother saving their child by sacrificing herself. How kind and empathetic Ameeshell Plusto is as a Princess. Although the war will take place, I hope this kindness of hers will become people's power. Still, there is more for Pragh to explore to get an idea of his and her past.
I hope you are enjoying the series like me, and we will get to explore more about them in the upcoming parts of 'Chapter 1: Centura Kingdom Arc', and we will keep enjoying the journey of Pragh, from a normal boy to a Transcendental being. Till then, stay tuned with the series.
Thanks for reading!
