Chapter 18: The queen of flies 

Viven continued to fight against Dizs plan. He continued to kidnap celestials and kill them. Since eating the celestial bodies as a non celestial could kill any other species he shatters the solids and sells them in dark markets. 

He goes to one of the markets on a hidden planet, someone catches his eye. A person in a long veil, a dark red coat and black dress. Is it Diz? Has he finally come to his senses and helped Viven with his plan instead? Viven walks towards the veiled person. 

“ Have you come to your senses yet ?” He asks, holding the person's shoulders .

“ h-huh?” The person asks in a confused, feminine voice. 

“ Ah my mistake, I mistook you as someone else” Viven says with a hint of disappointment in his voice quickly removing his hands dusting them off in slight disgust.

“ It's fine, really,” the woman says unrevealing her veil. A pale woman with long curly pitch black hair.

“ What's your name?” She asks, tucking a curl behind her ear. She doesn’t seem frightened by his uncanny looks.

“ It’s viven” he responds wanting to get out of the conversation immediately. She notices he has a bag of something that must be of value.

“ I’m Raina, And what do you sell?” She asks, walking closer and certainly curious. 

“ Celestial shards” he responds dryly. 

“ ah very valuable indeed, I do wonder how you got them. Well I sell jewelry” she chuckles.

“ Although I used to be important, I was a ruler before it was destroyed to become a celestial sanctuary. “ she says bitterly. 

“ Uh cool I guess” Viven says slowly walking away. Although Raina follows him quite interested. 

“ What’s up with your looks?” She giggles.

“ None of your business” Viven responds, his irritation growing the more she follows. 

“ Ah well my apologies then, Hey Viv, you might wanna be careful when you take the celestial shards. I’ve heard stories of a veiled celestial killing while eating them. Or maybe you’ll just sell it to him huh? The stories tell the veiled man wishes to destroy the universe” I she jokes.

“ You're wrong” Viv snaps , Raina says as she looks at him confused.

“ He wants to destroy celestials, not the world. “ Viven explains.

“ hm? And how are you so sure of that?” She questions. 

“ I’m- I was, his friend” he hesitates. She tilts her head a bit confused.

“ I’m assuming something happened? Wait so then , If you were friends with that cannibal who eats their own kind, why do you sell shards?” She asks

“ Tch why should I answer you?” He responds.

“ I don’t work for him any longer” he grumbles getting close to her intimidatingly as she’s backed up to a wall.

“ You all should be telling stories about me, yet again I am casted in HIS shadow. You are highly mistaken Raina, I am the one who will destroy everything. This is MY revolution” he snarled angrily . The light hitting him from behind made his face shadowy and uncomfortable.

She just nods , 

“ Allow me to follow? In exchange for my life” She pleads. Viven just scoffs as an answer walking away as she follows his steps.
