Lunar Supremacy: The Original Alpha

Helios was like the best friend who had an influence similar to what Nathan had on him.

During Fenrir\'s travels to Egypt, Helios had joined him as a fellow mercenary. Their paths crossed when both of them became warriors in a caravan. There was something about their shared strength that instantly clicked, turning them into the best of buddies.

One memorable mission highlighted Helios\' extraordinary power – he had this ability to create fire that was as intense as the sun. It helped him deal with Apep, the Enemy of Light (Giant Snake) by burning it to ashes. So, he was like the ultimate enemy of anything dark and sinister.

But Fenrir had his own secret too. He was a werewolf, so he didn\'t reveal this to Helios during their travel together.

When they returned to Egypt, things got even more interesting. Fenrir learned that Helios wasn\'t just some regular guy – he was a prince.

Around the same time, Fenrir met Sellie, who was formal and proper, unlike her mother Cleopatra. She initially disliked Fenrir\'s carefree attitude and didn\'t hesitate to let him know.  She scolded him for his womanizing ways and for influencing her twin brother to become a bit of a ladies\' man.

However, time has a way of changing things. As Fenrir and Sellie spent more time together, something shifted.

Despite their differences, they found themselves falling for each other. It was like a slow burn that eventually led to them having a secret relationship.

Interestingly, Helios knew about their relationship, but he didn\'t seem to mind. He probably saw Fenrir as a suitable match for his sister if she were to marry someone.

It\'s true that Fenrir was a womanizer, but he was also very a dependable and trustworthy. He had a lot of charm, and there was a depth to him that those close to him recognized.

"Where\'s Helios?" He asked, his eyes scanning the hall for another tomb.

Sellie\'s expression shifted at the mere mention of her twin brother\'s name. She was left momentarily speechless, unable to find the right words to express herself.

"What happened to him?" he asked.

A heavy sigh escaped her lips, carrying the weight of the truth.

"Helios is no longer with us," she admitted, her voice fragile, her eyes glistening like morning dew.

"During the war, he suffered a wound that couldn\'t be healed. When he finally returned home, his body was already slowly dying," 

"But I can still sense his energy!" His words trembled on the cusp of a revelation.

"My twin brother spirit persisted even beyond his last breath...Before he died, he channeled every ounce of his power into your fragment and told me to wait for your resurrection." she whispered, her voice wavering with emotion. 

And then, she leaned in and pressed her lips to his, passing on the fragment with a kiss.

In that moment, he felt an intermingling of forces—a dance of the moon\'s mystique from Sellie and the fervent sun\'s essence of Helios—fusing within him. It was a collision of energies that left a huge impression, an echo of Helios\'s loyalty and Sellie\'s unyielding love etched onto his very being.

Unlike Diablo\'s raging flames that symbolized utter annihilation, Helios\'s solar energy bore a distinct nature. It encompassed both the forces of creation and destruction, forming a harmonious duality.

With this power, Helios could breathe life into the flora, fostering the growth of plants and nurturing the land. Yet, this same energy possessed the capability to devastate, reducing landscapes to ashes.

"Helios, thank you for everything," he murmured, his voice heavy with gratitude.

Though he might not have been the original, Vincent still held a deep connection to everyone Fenrir had once known and cared for. 

"Don\'t worry, from now on I\'ll protect your little sister on your behalf," he muttered to himself. He understood that Helios would never hear these words again, but with the new powers he had acquired, he felt a sense of being connected to him. Saying those words was his way of paying tribute to Helios\' memory and honoring his passing.

"I will protect you with all my life, " he assured her, sealing his words with a tender kiss.

Through that kiss, he conveyed his unwavering commitment to always be by her side. The combination of his words and the affectionate gesture wrapped her heart.

"Let\'s get out of here, Sellie," he proposed, his hand extending towards her.

Without a moment\'s hesitation, she reached out and intertwined her fingers with his.

Looking back, she realized that her previous facade of anger had been a disguise to release the pent-up frustration she had harbored when he left.

How could she ever have held hatred towards him? Her emotions were just as deeply rooted in love as those of the other girls who had fallen under his spell.

"But what about all these treasures?" Sellie\'s curiosity grew. These golden relics lying around were like treasures from ancient times, and the idea of leaving them behind felt like throwing away something valuable. A lot of them were even made by his twin brother, Helios.

Vincent caught her expression, understanding that he needed to do something.

With a decisive choice, he tapped into his domain, summoning its power to begin storing everything before him. It was as if an invisible force took hold, gently but surely transferring each item into his domain, creating a swirling vortex of movement and energy.

"You can actually store external objects into your domain?"  She mused as she watched his actions unfold. Being a domain wielder herself, she was well aware of the constraints of that particular space. 

"My domain comes with its quirks," he responded with a hint of a smile.

In truth, he didn\'t quite believe that this level of ability was worth the astonishment. After all, that space guy probably possessed similar and stronger capabilities.

"Let\'s go back to our new home," 

Once everything was carefully stored, he once again used the talisman, transporting them back.

Vincent wasted no time, quickly introducing Sellie to Evangeline and the others before setting out once more on his mission to retrieve the final fragment.

Sellie was taken aback at first by the presence of numerous stunning women in his group, which initially left her feeling a bit annoyed.

However, as she spent time with them and learned about their individual connections with him, her perspective shifted. Each woman had her own unique story of how they had met him, and this common thread of shared experiences and affection for him forged a bond among them.

Out of nowhere, a black hole materialized in the heart of a dense jungle.

This time, the teleportation talisman transported him deep within the heart of the Amazon rainforest. The trials seemed almost inconsequential now, as he found himself standing within the mouth of a huge cave.

With a super-fast movement, he dashed through the shadows, effortlessly avoiding obstacles and finding the most direct path to his destination. It was as though the darkness itself was his ally, guiding him with an intimate knowledge of the terrain.

And so, he reached the end of the cave in no time.

Finding himself at yet another dead-end, an instinctual nudge urged him forward, suggesting that hidden secrets lay beyond the imposing walls. Tuning into his senses, he focused his perceptive gaze on the unseen energies at play. As he anticipated, a hole was present in the wall – a cavity seemingly waiting for his energy.

With his palm, he infused it with his pure energy, a gesture that triggered a certain mechanism. The very fabric of the cave seemed to respond to his energy, trembling in resonance.

Then a door manifested before his eyes, emerging seamlessly from the solid wall. Etched upon the door was a descending flight of stairs, seemingly leading into the subterranean depths.

As he reached the end of the stairs, an awe-inspiring sight greeted him — an entire thriving ecosystem sprawled before his eyes.

This hidden world was a like a fairytale painting unlike anything seen on the surface.

Exotic plants, utterly alien to the world above, stretched out their vibrant tendrils. Flowers with petals that glowed iridescent colors reached skyward, casting ethereal hues upon the surroundings.

Creatures that were long believed to have succumbed to extinction now moved with grace through this subterranean Eden.

Among them were majestic beasts, thought to be mere legends. Striking feathers adorned creatures resembling ancient avian species, and sleek, scaled forms moved like shadows through the lush undergrowth.

And amidst the harmonious symphony of rustling leaves and distant chirps, a colossal crystal orb hanged as the centerpiece of this breathtaking display.

Radiating with a soft, radiant light, the sphere imbued the entire ecosystem with vitality, illuminating even the darkest corners of the cave.

The energy it emitted nurtured a thriving cycle of life, from the smallest of insects to the grandest of flora and fauna.
