No one knew, or was even able to remember what happened during that infinitesimal second that followed the explosion of pure, raw darkness coming from Kurt.
Kurt, on the other hand, wasn't just able to notice everything that happened, detail upon minute detail.
He was the catalyst for such change.
And as such, even wanting to forget, being able to live a common, ordinary and mediocre life, after all that...
Deep down, Kurt knew he would never be able to escape that circle of inevitability.
Overflowing with the overwhelming, searing energy that came from the power of not only Essentium, but Kha'Ur himself, Kurt screamed at the top of his lungs, unable to contain the torrent of pain that took every nerve ending in his body by storm.
However, the sensation lasted as long as a blink of an eye, seeming eternal only to Kurt, who, feeling relieved after the pain stopped, noticed everything around him with new eyes.
There was nothing around him.
