''Wha... what is that?''
Luna was shocked by the scene in front of her.

She appeared to be floating in space, like she was on the moon again. The feeling of zero gravity stirred some bad memories from her past, but she quickly regained herself. She kept thinking that it's just Traveler's dream and she soon calmed herself down.

After regaining herself, she watched...

Traveler was standing on the edge of a floating rock. Luna couldn't see his face, since she was behind him. But he stood there strangely, his shoulders let down. He wasn't in his usual 'ready' state and she felt his emotion... sorrow.

Luna followed his gaze and gasped. There was a planet in front of her, cut in two pieces. The still remaining gravity, which the half destroyed planet had, kept the two piece in place. But between the two piece, a faint light started to die out.

''No...'' Traveler said, faintly.

The light died out and Luna could feel a huge amount force building up around the dying planet. Then it got surrounded by shadows and exploded. Traveler was sent flying backwards, slamming against one of the sticking out cliff on the huge, floating rock.

The force of the explosion destroyed the nearby rocks, but the one where Luna and Traveler were on was intact. Traveler slowly floated down from the top of the sticking out cliff, where he was slammed into. Like someone was placing him down, he landed on his knees, his eyes were looking down.

From the corner of her eyes, a woman started walking towards Traveler. She wore a red cape, coming out from her wide, black shoulder plates. On top of her long, blonde hair, a black crown, with a red gem on the front side. Her black, high-heeled boots could be heard, but Traveler kept looking at the ground.

On the woman's snow white face, a disappointed and furious expression. Her eyes glowed in white and stopped in front of Traveler.

''You...'' Her voice was filled with hatred. Traveler didn't budge. ''You did this to me...'' She stopped and watched Traveler's reaction. ''TO MY PEOPLE!'' She boomed and backhanded him in the face.

Traveler looked back at her, quickly regaining from the hit. His face showed regret and sadness, but he did not speak.

''YOU LET MY PEOPLE DIE, BECAUSE YOU WERE IGNORANT!'' She slapped him again, both of his cheeks were red now. ''AND THANKS TO YOU, MY PLANET IS DESTROYED! YOU SAID YOU WILL HELP US, BUT YOU LET US DIE BY THE CORRUPTION!''

Traveler just looked at her and that made her more furious. She punched him and the zero gravity made him slam against the bottom of the cliff. He was leaning against the rock by his back and she stepped closer to him.

She leaned over him, while he hung his head. ''We... we shared the same bed... how could you do that to me?'' Her voice cracked. ''You swore to your life... that you protect... my people...'' A tear fell down from her white eyes.

But those white eyes quickly turned to black and high, Dark energy flowed through her. ''FOR THAT, I SHALL TAKE YOUR LIFE!'' She boomed again and her left hand started to glow in dark flames.

Traveler looked up at her, a single tear ran down on his hurt cheek...

''I am terribly sorry...''

What Luna saw, made her yelp in shock...

A Golden Cross was in Traveler's hand, which he used to stab the woman, right in her heart...

The woman was looking at him, eyes wide by the sudden pain in her chest. Her red robe had blood marks on it and a white light was coming out from her chest, where Traveler stabbed her.

Traveler quickly caught her, before she fell back. He held her by her waist and let go of the cross, allowing his hand to hold her head. She started to breath heavily, feeling the life seeping out from her and getting sucked into the cross.

''I really am sorry, but... you broke the rules of the Light... Miss Floya'...'' Traveler explained, his voice trembling. ''Your research about Dark powers was already made the Elders disappointed. But when you left with no words... taking all the information with you... they called me...''

''But... my people... needed a... place to... live...'' Floya' started, trying to breath. ''They... looked up at me... and loved me... as their queen... I... only wanted to... make them... happy...''

''I know... but your actions were too dangerous. You practically taunted the Elders to eliminate you... and since the Avatar had to be restrained, they called me. I'm sorry... if I knew what were you trying to do was something that you had no idea about... I wouldn't made this decision... I would have helped you... to make a beautiful world... but I already promised them to end your life...'' Traveler told her, trying his best to force back the tears.

Floya' looked towards her destroyed world, her face filled with hatred and disbelief. ''I only blame you... you played with me... lied to me... used me... My whole world... my people... man, woman... child... everyone... because of you...'' She turned her head towards him, her body started to fade away. ''I curse you Horseman... and since... you left us to our doom... let the shadows follow you everywhere... where you run... where you hide... they will find you... and hunt you... even in your dreams... they will get you... and kill you... No matter who is around... they bring death to them too... you monster...''

Before her body could disappear in the Golden Cross, she used her last energy to create a small explosion of Dark energy. Then she disappeared into the cross, as it dropped to the ground. It shone for a few seconds, then it sealed the evil power and stopped shining.

As Traveler picked it up, a blood freezing roar could be heard from the destroyed planet. Traveler knew he doesn't have time to waste, before the dangerous creatures find him. He looked over the destroyed and blown up planet. It's pieces flowed around space, still burning.

''I see you did it...''

Traveler's grip around the cross tightened. He knew that voice, one of the Guardian Angel from the Light. The Elders sent him... Traveler knew it...

Traveler turned around and presented the cross. ''That probably means you're not blind...'' Traveler commented.

The Angel ignored his comment. ''Then give me the cross. I have to take it back to-''

''To you ignorant, heartless leader? Who just play with his little toe lickers like you?''

''HOW DARE YOU SPEAK ABOUT HIM WITH SUCH A TONGUE?!''

''Like this.''

''YOU WILL APOLOGIZE NOW!''

''Who has the cross again?'' Traveler wiggled the cross around his fingers, looking dead seriously at the furious Angel.

''Give me the cross and you may be forgiven!''

''Fine...'' Traveler said and held out the cross. The Angel spread out his wings, showing to Traveler, how ranked he was. But he cared less about it...

When the Angel reached for the cross, Traveler grabbed his hand, pulled the surprised Angel before him and stabbed the cross into the base of his back, where the two wings met. ''... but I don't forgive YOU!'' Traveler shouted and pushed the cross deeper inside the Angel's back, who was paralyzed by the harshly incoming power. The cross contained high amount of power. And this power was the Avatar's...

He couldn't scream, his muscles stopped working. The point where Traveler impaled the cross was a nerve point, which can stop the full body system. Meanwhile, Traveler grunted and shouted, as he pushed and even hit the cross, to get it fully inside the Angel's body. Luna cringed and shivered several time, as she could nearly feel that. She knew how uninviting that part is, she knew that from experience...

Only an inch was sticking out from the flesh. Traveler jumped up and double kicked it with both legs. He used his energy, to make the kick stronger and it sent the Angel flying towards the destroyed planet, where nothing remained.

''YOU LITTLE, UNGRATEFUL PIECE OF SHIT!'' Traveler shouted after him.

As he reached his Breaking Point, he started to destroy all the other smaller planets in that world. Even the flowing rocks, which were in his way. Everything was a target for him. His whole body glowed in green, blue and purple and his shouting could be heard from everywhere in that world..

Luna spent days, watching him as he teared open planet after planet. His energy dying down slowly, as only the rocks remained...
''So this is what he's afraid of... turning into a monster again, like he just did here... but there is something else... hm...'' Luna noted and hummed. There was nothing she could do now, but watch...

Suddenly, the whole place started to disappear. A bright light blocked the view and Luna had to shield her eyes...

Then nothing...

Author's Note

Short chapter, I know. But consider it as a small bite and a late update, since I couldn't post a chapter last weekend.

The next chapter has over 8k words and I still need to fix the grammar and put more detail into it.

You read it well! ''Avatar...'' This means Dhuradhan will be in the next chapter? Yes, deal with it.

More updates in the next chapter soon. Probably tomorrow or at the weekend, with the last part of this 'Revealing Memories' series. I worked on that all week, so there will be a long break after this.
More info in my blog posts...

Good night!
