The Primordial Record

Chapter 339 Tell Me Everything

Chapter 339 Tell Me Everything

Rowan's reflection had been bolstered by the Essence taken by Vraegar, but even that has its limits, for already, he was beginning to feel the Essence being consumed in a drastic manner, his time was running out. In addition to that, the attraction from his body was increasingly getting more strenuous to push away, and only his impressive will power was what held the strong desire of melding into his body at bay.

He turned to the Sovereign who had led the adoration, and he smiled at him, "Come to me child."

The Sovereign seemed to shiver and he walked up to Rowan while folding his wings behind him, and he knelt on one knee. Rowan floated down to him and placed his glowing hand on his head, "oh my child, I've done you a great wrong, a Sovereign should never be without a name for so long." He turned to Eva and asked, "For how long have I been inside the darkness?"

Her eyes flashed at the phrase he used and she said, "today makes it the third year Creator."

Rowan shuddered, it was such a short time, and also a long one. If he followed the age recorded on his Primordial Record, he was now fourteen years old. He had spent more years sleeping than awake.

He sighed, even with all his plans, things hardly went the way he wanted, he had discovered it was about fifty-fifty, that things go the way he wanted and planned.

Rowan continued addressing the kneeling Sovereign, "you have been so patient my Sovereign, you stayed by my side without complaint and protected me during my slumber. You have earned your name… I name you Erudiel. The one who waits… The one who protects."

Intense golden flames covered the Angel, as many new, complex runes were added to his armor. When he stood up, his position as Sovereign was complete.

"Leave us." Rowan gestured to all, and except for Eva, everyone else left, Vraegar paused as if to speak before he sighed and walked away, his tail dragging behind him.

Eva came up to him and said slowly, "You are… a reflection of the Creator! Amazing, how could this be possible? You are still far from the realm where something like this should be possible. Such abilities require you to visit the Pillars of the Universe."

Rowan smiled, understanding a reason he might be able to control a reflection, after all, he had harvested a lot of Primordial Aether of Darkness when he was evolving his Soul Reaver bloodline to The Avatar of Eve bloodline. He only replied to her, "There is nothing like me."

Eva dumbly nodded her head, "I fear that you will never cease to amaze me Creator. But, I can see the cracks begin to widen in your reflection. If you have a mission in mind and you wish to pursue it, there are many available Angelic bodies for you to take root."

Rowan shook his head in disagreement, "No, I have other plans, and for it to succeed, it will require something… different. What I need is a mortal, as I will not last for long inside the body of an Angel before my main body forcefully drags my reflection back. I will need more time to make any meaningful changes."

Eva frowned as she stroked her chin, "Even if it's just your reflection, it would be nearly impossible to find a mortal that would be able to house it. I have an option in mind, yet I don't know if you're willing to possess her. If you do, her mind would not survive the process. It will be her honor, Creator."

Rowan was quiet as he remained in silence for a short while, deep in thought. When he left Vraegar's body, he discovered he had a peculiar relationship with Aether. It must be because of the peculiarities of his existence because he almost seemed to be melding with Aether.

This effect more than anything was what was responsible for the slow decay of his Reflection, as it greatly reduced the rate he was consuming his Essence. Rowan could not risk pulling any more Essence from his main body, else he risked assimilating with it.

This relationship with Aether also brought another benefit, for it gave him a type of omnipresence.

Everywhere that Aether touches, his mind could reach it. He was able to quickly get used to this method of understanding the world as it was similar to the Angelic Sight.

With this new quirk of his present form, he was able to understand the entire situation of the Divine Palace, and he saw every single living being inside of it. From the newborn baby that had just been born from a mortal woman, that had the light of Aether oozing from her eyes for she was born a Legendary State Being, with her parents staring down at her, enraptured in wonder, to the thousands of Dire beasts of all varieties to the Hall of Scribes where Maeve collected information from all around the galaxy and many other wonders.

He saw Diane, his handmaiden, hovering in the air as she was carried by a golden tornado that did not even ruffle her dress, the page of a large golden book flipping itself in front of her as it bopped up and down, held with invisible hands. This should be the candidate Eva spoke of, her new state likely due to the hands of Eva, as well as the new type of children. He would not consider such an option just yet.

His perception carried by Aether passed through the Divine Palace and entered into the void, Rowan pulled his focus away from the Aether, keeping only a small part with the spreading Aether so he could see the universe.

Rowan sighed and turned to Eva, "I have been gone for a while. The battle on Jarkarr should have far-reaching consequences, show me everything? that has transpired while I slumber. I want every single detail. "
