Chapter 100 Writer's POV
As Delilah whispered "Xerxes" and the war stopped with followers bowing down, the transformation of Onyi into Xerxes, a god, becomes a pivotal point. Onyi, now Xerxes, hovers in air near Delilah, his godlike form radiating power that's both familiar and terrifying to Delilah. The connection between Delilah and Xerxes (formerly Onyi) intensifies as Xerxes' godly presence makes itself known.
Delilah's eyes focus back on Xerxes (Onyi), and she sees the godlike power in him. There's a mix of awe and desire in her gaze toward Xerxes, now a being of immense power. "Xerxes," she says again, this time like a summoning or an acknowledgment of the power before her. Xerxes, with his godlike presence, looks at Delilah, and the air seems to thicken with the weight of their connection.
As Delilah sees Xerxes, now a god, standing before her with immense power radiating from him like a tempest of darkness and allure, she's consumed by an overwhelming desire. Delilah runs into Xerxes' arms with a fierce hunger, and he wraps them around her, pulling her close in a crushing embrace. Their connection ignites in a passionate, almost violent kiss, a mix of power, primal desire, and darkness entwining them like living shadows. The kiss is a clash of passion and power, like they're devouring each other in the hunger of the moment. Xerxes' godly power surges through the kiss, and Delilah melts into it, lost in the intoxicating mix of desire and darkness.
Amanda watches this scene unfold from a distance, her heart torn apart in pain. She sees the raw, intense passion between Delilah and Xerxes (the one who was once Onyi), and she knows she's lost Onyi forever to this darkness and power. The transformation of Onyi into Xerxes, a god, and his connection with Delilah is like a brutal severing of the last thread of hope she had. Amanda's eyes well up with tears of anguish as she watches the kiss, a painful reminder of what's been lost – her connection with Onyi, the love and the person she knew.
In the aftermath of the passionate kiss between Delilah and Xerxes, now a god, the kingdom lies in the balance of darkness and power. Delilah is consumed by her bond with Xerxes, her desires for power and darkness fulfilled in his godly presence. Xerxes, with his newfound godly power, looks out over the kingdom, his gaze like a shadow cast over the land.
Amanda, heartbroken by the loss of Onyi forever to the transformation into Xerxes, withdraws from the scene of power and passion between Delilah and Xerxes. She feels the pain of loss deeply, knowing Onyi is gone, replaced by the god Xerxes.
With a silent command, Xerxes turns to leave, taking Delilah with him into the shadows. As they vanish into the darkness, the kingdom's air thickens with an unsettling silence. Aria and Lena, their hushed voices speak of fear and uncertainty.
"A world in darkness," Aria whispers.
"With Xerxes' power," Lena breathes in reply.
And as Xerxes and Delilah disappear into the night, the world around plunges into an oppressive darkness. Shadows swallow the light, leaving only whispers of fear and the weight of Xerxes' godly power looming over all.
