Orion and the Primordial System

Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Blooming



Orion and Lyra set out from Aurelion, exploring the vast lands of Aeternum together.

Each day was a new adventure, filled with discovery and wonder, solidifying their bond. The relationship that began with a passionate encounter at a bar blossomed into something deeper and more meaningful.

One of the first places they visited was the Star Trail, a magical trail that wound through mountains covered in luminescent flowers.

When night fell, the flowers glowed like stars, creating a breathtaking view.

Orion and Lyra stood beneath the night sky, the stars reflecting off those green eyes he now knew so well.

"You know, I always believed the stars were just distant lights," Lyra said, admiring the spectacle.

"But now I see that they are like us, living in constant brightness and change."

Orion smiled, taking her hand. "And we are just beginning to shine."

Another time, they arrived at the City of Arkanis, famous for its magic competitions. Lyra, still a little unsure of her abilities, hesitated when a crowd gathered for the grand competition.

Orion, noticing her shyness, encouraged her to participate.

"Come on, you're stronger than you think," he said softly, as he gently cupped her face.

With Orion's support, Lyra entered and, surprisingly, came in second place, only losing to a young master who had years of experience. When she stepped off the stage, her face was radiant.

"I can't believe I did it!" she exclaimed, her eyes shining with happiness.

Orion pulled her into a tight hug and teased her. "I always knew you could do it. You're amazing, Lyra."

Every day, they grew closer. On quiet nights, when the city was silent, they would sit on porches under the starry sky, sharing stories of their lives, dreams, and fears.

"Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live forever?" Orion once asked, as he gazed up at the stars.

"Yes, but it's not about how long you live, it's about how you live," Lyra replied.

One day, while exploring the Whispering Woods, a magical place where the trees seemed to talk, they came across an ancient portal covered in vines.

Curious, they approached. As they stepped through the portal, they were transported to a dreamlike realm, where colors were more vibrant and emotions more intense.

There, under the influence of the place's magic, their feelings blossomed as never before. They danced together in a field of giant flowers, the air perfumed with the sweet scent of fresh petals.

"I've never felt like this before," Lyra whispered, looking deeply into Orion's eyes. "Like we're floating."

"Because we are," Orion replied, leaning in to place a soft kiss on her lips. The moment was filled with love and passion, as if the world around them had disappeared, leaving just the two of them.

During an expedition in search of a magical artifact in an ancient cave, they encountered a guardian creature, a colossal serpent with shining scales.

"Why do you disturb my domain?" the creature growled, its scales glistening in the torchlight.

Orion, without hesitation, raised his hand, showing respect. "We do not come as enemies. We seek only an artifact."

Lyra, at his side, noticed the power and confidence that emanated from him. Together, they fought bravely, but what Lyra did not know is that Orion had been restraining himself so as not to break the suspense of the trip since he left the empire. His goal was to have fun and go on adventures, and he would certainly achieve that goal.

"You have the courage to face me in battle," the serpent said, finally exhausted from the battle and allowing them to pass.

With each obstacle overcome, the love between Orion and Lyra only grew.

They learned to trust each other, to lean on each other in times of doubt, and to celebrate their triumphs together.

One special evening, as they sat together by a serene lake, Lyra turned to Orion. "You've changed my life in so many ways, and I feel like I can face anything with you by my side."

Orion smiled, pulling her closer. "And you've brought purpose to my life, Lyra. I can't wait to see where this journey takes us."

Orion and Lyra were in Elysium, an immortal city known for its timeless beauty and vibrant culture.

The buildings seemed to float in the clouds, with crystal towers sparkling in the sun and hanging gardens filled with never-withering flowers.

The air was filled with a soft magic, and the atmosphere was almost palpable, filled with the laughter and murmurs of the inhabitants enjoying their endless lives.

Standing before a stall of magical jewels, Lyra was completely enchanted.

She examined each trinket with a twinkle in her eye, like a child in a candy store.

Orion watched her, his heart warmed by the joy she radiated.

"Look at this, Orion!" Lyra exclaimed, holding up a necklace that seemed to contain a small constellation. "This is the 'Necklace of Hope'! They say that whoever wears it can see the brightest stars on their darkest nights."

"It's beautiful," Orion said, smiling at the admiration on her face. "But I have something more precious for you: a promise that I will always be by your side, no matter where our journeys take us."

Lyra turned to him, her gaze softening at what she had heard. "You know, the way you talk always makes me feel like I can conquer the world. Even with all these dazzling jewels around me, what I want most is to be here, with you."

She took his hand and held it tightly, their fingers intertwined.

The connection they had felt stronger than any jewel that could shine that day.

"Let's see a few more," Lyra suggested, pulling him lightly to continue exploring the tent.

"Please, just a little more. Look at that bracelet! They say it's made of the essence of dreams!"

Orion laughed, amused by her passion. "How can you be so fascinated by such small things? You shine brighter than any jewel here, Lyra. Your presence brightens even the darkest days."

Lyra stopped, looking at him with sparkling eyes.

"You always know how to make me feel special, don't you? The magic I see in each piece of jewelry is small compared to the magic you brought into my life."

As they explored further into the tent, Lyra came across a ring that emanated a soft glow. It was adorned with a stone that seemed to change color with each movement.

"This is the 'Ring of Destinies.' They say that those who wear it can feel the bonds of love that bind souls together," the salesman explained, noticing the fascination on Lyra's face.

Orion, sensing the connection the ring had with their deep feelings, approached.

"If you really want it, we can buy it," he said, his voice firm. "It could symbolize our commitment to each other, a reminder that our destinies are intertwined."

Lyra looked at the ring, then at Orion. "Would you mind? It's just a ring…"

"It's not just a ring. It's a symbol of everything we've built together," Orion replied, his gaze intense and sincere. "If you want it, we'll take it."

Lyra's smile lit up the room around her. "Yes, please! I want it to represent what we have. Every day with you is a new destiny we're creating."

After purchasing the ring, Lyra slipped it onto her finger, and a gentle warmth ran through them both. It was as if the universe itself had approved their union, a silent blessing that enveloped them.

"And now, what do you wish to do?" Orion asked, watching her fondly.

"I want to explore more of Elysium! But most of all, I want to make more memories with you," Lyra replied, her voice full of emotion.

"Then let's go. This city is as magical as you are, and I want to enjoy every moment with you," Orion said, holding her hand as they walked through the city.

Lyra and Orion approached an imposing auction house, a colossal structure that stood out in the city of Elysium. The building was an architectural masterpiece, adorned in black and gold, reflecting an aura of opulence that drew admiring glances. The large windows, framed by gold details, gleamed in the sunlight, while the huge dark wooden doors seemed to hold valuable secrets.

"Wow, look at this, Orion! It's like we're about to enter a fairy tale!" Lyra exclaimed, her eyes shining with excitement.

"Yes, it is truly impressive," Orion replied, taking in the grandeur of the auction house. "But it's what happens inside that really matters."

As he approached the entrance, Orion felt the magical energy emanating from the place.

With a subtle movement of his hand, he activated his omnipotent power. A diamond SSSVIP card materialized in his palm, pulsing with an aura of exclusivity and wealth. This was no ordinary card; it was a status symbol that granted access to restricted areas and the most valuable lots at the auction.

"Ready?" he asked Lyra, who was eagerly skipping along beside him.

"Ready!" she replied, taking his hand.

Orion pushed open the front doors, which opened with a soft creak, revealing the stunning interior.

The room was even more luxurious than expected, with crystal chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling and elegantly arranged tables laden with rare and precious items on display.

In the center of the room, a young master, dressed in fine robes, stood surrounded by admirers and looked down on the attendees, his arrogant and superior air evident.

He was a typical webnovel antagonist, with angular features and a smug smile, who seemed to care nothing for the presence of others.

Orion felt a spark of amusement. He approached with Lyra at his side, and the young master noticed him, his eyes narrowing in disdain.

"And who is this? A simple traveler thinking he can barge in here?" the young master sneered, his voice full of contempt.

Orion was unfazed. With a slight movement, he lifted the SSSVIP card and presented it, causing the entire room to go silent for a moment. The glow of the card seemed to outshine even the luxurious lights around it.

"Would you like to review your words, young master?" Orion asked, his voice calm but filled with authority and amusement.

The young master hesitated for a moment, the contempt in his gaze changing to surprise. "This… this can't be real. There's no way you have an SSSVIP card!"

"You seem to have no idea of ​​the power it takes to be a true VIP at this auction," Orion replied, a smug smile crossing his lips.

Lyra watched, fascinated by the way Orion handled the situation. His confidence was infectious, and she felt her own heart race.

"Come on, Lyra," Orion said, looking at her with a gleam in his eyes. "It's time to enjoy this evening and see what else this auction has to offer."

They walked across the room, the young master and his followers now silent, completely stunned by Orion's powerful presence.

The room was filled with murmurs and admiring glances as the couple moved elegantly among the guests, who quickly moved aside to make way for them.

The auction room was decorated with the same finery as on the outside, filled with works of art, rare treasures, and priceless relics.

Orion and Lyra took their seats in a room reserved for VIPs, with a perfect view of the center stage, where the bidding would begin.

"Look at all this, Orion! It's like a dream!" Lyra said, her voice full of excitement.

"It's just the beginning," he replied, his gaze steady and resolute as the lights dimmed and the first batches began to be presented.
