Kael Veyris decided today would be a lesson day.
The races didn't know what that meant.Kael pointed at a river.
Okay, Verdant Continuum, show me you can move water without making it angry.
A tree sprouted hands. Roots flailed. Water swirled.
Kael raised an eyebrow.
Not like that. Less… interpretive dance. More… practical.
The trees paused.
Nyx snorted behind him.An Umbral tried to hide behind a shadow.
I will remain unseen it whispered.
Kael squinted.
You are the most visible invisible thing I've ever seen.
The Umbral blinked.
I… feel exposed.
Nyx laughed so hard she nearly floated.The Axiom Born debated a pebble.
The pebble's trajectory is… mathematically suboptimal.
Kael sighed.
Is it going to hit the water or not? Focus, please.
The pebble skipped anyway.
Kael stared.
perfectly suboptimal. Good job.
I could erase timelines.
I could nullify existence.
I could rewrite reality.
And yet…
I was here, arguing with a pebble, a shadow, and some roots.
I smiled faintly.
Sometimes, ultimate power is just very, very patient chaos.
By the end of the day:
The trees were mildly embarrassed.
The Umbrals were suspicious of shadows.
The Axiom-Born questioned the logic of laughter.
And Kael.
He had learned something too:
Even gods need comic relief.
