I couldn't shake the nagging feeling that I had just set something in motion that I might regret later. A cold unease settled in my chest as I thought about the black hole I had created. It felt like a ticking time bomb, one that would eventually come back to consume me. Was this my fate? Would it one day return, seeking to devour this world? Was I really destined to destroy everything I cared about?
No.
I wouldn't let that happen. If my own power came back to haunt me, I would destroy it, too. It was mine, after all. I wouldn't let it destroy the place I cherished. Not this world. Not when I still had a part of me that wanted to protect it.
