I Have to Control My Power
Chapter 2's

In the hidden serenity of his hiding place, Ethan muses about the suffering he has endured and the damage he has caused. Every day, she faces the fears and doubts that haunt her. However, amidst the destruction and darkness that surrounded him, he still found the flames of will that continued to burn within him.

One cold morning, as Ethan was watching the sunrise in the eastern sky, a soft voice rang out in his ears. "Ethan, don't let the darkness win you over. You have the power to change your own destiny" Lila said in a hopeful tone.

Ethan turned his head and saw Lila standing before him with a gentle smile on her face. His eyes were full of understanding and deep kindness. Even though the world rejected her, Lila remained a supportive figure and understood her.

"Ethan, I know the suffering you're going through is so severe," Lila continued gently. "But I believe that you have the potential to transcend that darkness. You can be someone great, someone who uses his power for good."

Ethan is not sure. He felt an unforgettable burden of guilt on his shoulders. "But Lila, every time I use my power, it only results in destruction. I can't stop myself" he sighed with regret.

Lila approached Ethan and placed her hand on his shoulder with gentleness. "Ethan, your strength is not the real problem. All you need is trust in yourself. You need to learn to control and direct that power wisely."

Ethan looked at Lila with curiosity. "How can I learn to control this power? I've tried, but it always ends in destruction."

Lila smiled gently. "We'll find a way, together. I will help you through exercises and meditations that will strengthen your control and understanding of that power. You're not alone, Ethan."

Hearing Lila's words, a speck of hope lit up in Ethan's heart. He felt an opportunity to improve himself and change his dark destiny. Perhaps, with Lila's help, she can find a way out of the shadow of the destruction that continues to haunt her.

"Thank you, Lila," Ethan said in a trembling voice. "I'll try. I no longer want to see the destruction I caused."

Lila nodded with excitement. "You can do it, Ethan. Together, we will face every obstacle and change your destiny for the better."

In an atmosphere of hope that illuminates their darkness, Ethan and Lila prepare to face a challenging journey. However, with strong determination and loving guidance, they are both ready to turn suffering into strength and transcend the limits set by the cruel world.

Time passes, and Ethan and Lila continue on their journey in search of a way to control Ethan's powers. Every day, they undergo grueling exercises and meditations, hoping that the darkness surrounding Ethan can be transformed into a beneficial light.

However, the deeper they studied that power, the clearer it became that complete control might never be achieved. Every step forward they take, Ethan still feels a strong bond that binds him to destruction and suffering. Guilt and fear continued to haunt his steps.

"In every skill I learn, Lila, I feel the consequences" whispered Ethan in a voice of agony. "Every step I take toward power, the closer I get to destruction. What's the point if I'm just gonna cause a mess?"

Lila looked at Ethan empathically. "Ethan, your suffering is part of your journey. But that doesn't mean you have to give in to the darkness that torments you. Every mistake and every bad consequence is a valuable lesson that shapes you into a stronger and wiser person."

However, doubts still cloud Ethan's mind. "Do I deserve to find peace after all the damage I've caused? Perhaps the world is better off without me."

Lila clenched her hands and firmly said, "Ethan, you must believe that you have infinite value. Every life has meaning and potential for change. Do not let yourself sink into despair. You're a precious person, and I believe in you."

However, the darkness of grief still enveloped Ethan's heart. "How can I believe in myself when the whole world hates me? They see me as a doom-bearer, not a hero trying to improve."

Lila approached Ethan and looked at his eyes gently. "Ethan, don't let their views determine who you really are. We cannot change the perception of others, but we can change the way we see ourselves. You have the power to change your own destiny, even if it means doing it alone."

Slowly, rays of hope begin to light up Ethan's dark heart. She felt the power in Lila's words and the trust she had in her. Perhaps, even though the world rejects it, there is still hope for creating positive change.

"In the dark that torments me, I will find my way to the light" Ethan said with a burning determination. "I will accept this suffering as part of my journey, and I will prove that I can use my power for good things."

In deepening suffering, Ethan and Lila choose to walk the difficult, but hopeful, path. They know that their journey will not be easy, but they are ready to face all the obstacles that come their way, including the absence of recognition from a world that does not understand their suffering and struggle.

And with unshakable courage and determination, Ethan promises himself that he will find a way to make amends, even if it means going through even deeper suffering.

Ethan and Lila continue on their journey, facing challenge after challenge with a strong determination. Although deep suffering still surrounds them, they never stop trying to find a way out of the tormenting darkness.

However, as time went on, they began to feel an ambush of loneliness. The world that was once full of peers and friends now feels empty and cold. Every time they try to get closer to people, the fear of Ethan's power and his tainted reputation drives them away. Ethan feels a deeper sense of suffering, trapped in a lonely embrace that forces him to wail to himself amidst the darkness.

On a quiet night, as the moon shone brightly in the sky, Ethan sat by a calm lake, daydreaming alone. His mind was filled with an indescribable sense of despair and emptiness. Suddenly, a soft yet clear sounding voice echoed in his ears.

"Ethan, don't let loneliness rob you of your life" whispered the voice mercifully.

Ethan turned his head and saw a mysterious figure standing among the trees. The woman had deep eyes and was full of wisdom. He was wearing a black robe that blew the night wind.

"Who are you?" ethan asked with mixed feelings of astonishment and suspicion.

The woman smiled gently. "I am Aria, a secret hunter who has observed your journey from a distance. I know how much you've suffered, and I want to offer you my help."

Ethan was doubtful. "Why do you care about me? I have nothing to offer."

Aria approached Ethan and sat down next to him. "You're someone precious, Ethan. You are not alone in your suffering. There are people out there who understand and want to help you."

Ethan looked at Aria with a mixed expression of hope and disbelief. "But how can they understand? I have destroyed many kingdoms and caused the death of my loved ones."

Aria looked Ethan in the eyes sincerely. "Your suffering is part of your journey, but it is not your identity. You are not an uncontrollable force that destroys everything. You are someone who has been wrong, like all of us. But you also have the potential to improve yourself and find true peace."

Ethan felt his heart pounding with growing hope. "

How can I find that peace? What am I supposed to do?"

Aria smiled gently. "First, accept the help of those who love you and want to help you. Don't let loneliness take hold of you. Second, forgive yourself and learn from your mistakes. And lastly, never stop trying to be a better person. Your power can be a source of good if you learn to control it wisely."

Ethan pondered for a moment, considering Aria's words. Then, with his newfound determination, he rose from the edge of the lake.

"I'll try, Aria" Ethan said with hope. "I will accept the help of those who love and try to improve. Though the world may hate and despise, I will not yield to darkness."

Aria smiled with satisfaction. "That's a strong determination, Ethan. Remember, your life has infinite meaning. Don't let loneliness take it away from you."

With steady steps, Ethan leaves the lake with renewed determination. He knows that the journey to healing is not easy, but with the help of those who love him and the new courage he finds, he promises to seek a long-lost peace.

And in his hopeful steps, Ethan promises himself to face even deeper suffering, in the hope that at the end of his struggle, he will, he will find light in the darkness and heal the wounds that bind him.
