Chapter 2------> The Discovery of the Duru

The next day, Huracan's mind was filled with a whirlwind of emotions as he stood at the wedding ceremony, trying to put on a happy face despite the questions that haunted him. The beautiful decorations and luxurious surroundings only served as a stark contrast to the darkness within his heart. He couldn't shake off the event from the previous day that had left him troubled, and the mystery surrounding his father's life and death continued to gnaw at him.

His uncle, Digvijay, attempted to divert his attention and remind him of his impending responsibilities as the new king. "Right now, you should only think about your kingdom and life," Digvijay whispered into Huracan's ear, hoping to ease his nephew's troubled mind. But the weight of unanswered questions and the burden of his father's fate kept pulling Huracan back.

As the wedding ceremony commenced, Esme, adorned in a white wedding dress and a flower crown, stood beside Huracan, who wore a somber black coat and pants. The guests, including demon worshipers, kings from different realms, and even vampires, were elated to witness the ascension of a new king after the previous one's demise.

The moment arrived when the demon worshiper called upon the couple to remove the bride's crown and pierce its thorns into Huracan's eyes. Blood trickled down his face, marking the completion of the ceremony amidst thunderous applause. However, something unexpected occurred. Huracan suddenly collapsed, causing panic to ripple through the crowd. Digvijay promptly called for a doctor while Huracan lay motionless on his bed. To everyone's astonishment, the doctor discovered that Huracan's heart had stopped, yet he continued to breathe. The diagnosis was grim: he would be in a coma for the next three years.

In his comatose state, Huracan found himself in a dreamlike world. He stood amidst a breathtaking landscape where the sky shimmered with intricate patterns representing the delicate dance between life and death. The ground beneath him was a serene expanse of blue-green water. As he ventured toward a distant house, he encountered Scar—a being who embodied both physical and emotional pain.

Enraged and desperate for answers, Huracan unleashed his anger upon Scar, demanding to know who he was and why he held knowledge about his father's fate. Scar, in tears, explained his essence as a representation of pain and scars caused by negative energy, tragedy, sadness, and anger. He revealed that the pain and scars endured by Huracan and his father were but tiny droplets in the vast ocean of suffering experienced by countless beings across the universe. Scar's words struck a chord within Huracan, and he realized that by overcoming his own scars and pain, he had the power to generate unbreakable positive energy.

Huracan extended forgiveness to Scar and implored him not to leave but to help heal and guide him. Scar, moved by Huracan's compassion, embraced him and agreed to share the truth about his father. They sat down on the ethereal ground, ready to delve into the untold story.

Scar began recounting the tale of Arthur, Huracan's father. Arthur, once a king himself, had been sent to Earth to escape the clutches of the devil king, Daemon. On Earth, Arthur led a seemingly ordinary life, making friends like Alex and Anna, who were born on the same day as him. However, on a fateful day in a graveyard, their lives took a sinister turn.

As Frost, Arthur's uncle, anxiously awaited Arthur's return, a horrifying figure emerged—a skeletal being with bones and joints protruding unnaturally. Frost approached cautiously but was overwhelmed by fear. The figure dashed into the bathroom, leaving Frost in a state of shock and confusion. As Frost cautiously opened the bathroom door, he was greeted by a nightmarish scene. The entire room was in shambles, except for the mirror, which seemed to transform into a pool of blood. Intrigued yet terrified, Frost leaned in for a closer look, only to be ensnared by the blood and consumed by a fiery explosion.

Meanwhile, Arthur and Alex found themselves in a dark, otherworldly realm, surrounded by grotesque and wounded figures. These tormented beings bore scars and wounds that spoke of unimaginable pain and suffering. As they closed in on Arthur and Alex, their chant grew louder, repeating a single word: "Duru."

Back in the present, Scar continued his narration, revealing that "Duru" was a gateway—an interdimensional portal that connected the Kaiten Multiverse to other realms and universes. Arthur's encounter with the portal had catapulted him into a journey that would ultimately seal his fate.

Huracan listened intently, his imagination painting vivid images of the events Scar described. The pieces of his father's life and the truth behind his demise were slowly falling into place, but questions still lingered. Determined to uncover the whole story and to break free from the chains of unanswered mysteries, Huracan vowed to embark on a quest to uncover the secrets of Duru and his father's untimely end.

With newfound resolve and the guidance of Scar, Huracan would venture into uncharted territories, traversing dimensions and facing unimaginable dangers. His journey would be one of self-discovery, reconciliation, and a quest for the ultimate truth—a truth that would not only illuminate his father's past but also shape his own destiny.

As Huracan awakened from the words of Scar, his eyes opened to a world filled with renewed purpose. The path ahead was treacherous, but he knew that with Scar's wisdom and the strength born from his own scars, he could face any challenge. The quest to unveil the mysteries surrounding his father's life and the power of Duru awaited him, and Huracan was determined to embrace his role as the true heir to the kingdom while uncovering the hidden truths that lay beyond the veil of his father's past.
