Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 5488

Chapter 5488: Unknown! I

His Estuary Eye turned slowly above him, its lemniscate pupil a closed loop of exactly that kind, and Noah understood his own anatomy a little better.

And time. Time was the strangest lesson of the crossing, because out here it stopped pretending to be a river. Through the Sight, each vibrating thread extended in a direction that was neither ahead nor behind but somehow both, the way a plucked string is not one moment of sound but a whole sustained note. Past and future were not places the threads visited.

They were parts of what the threads were, the full length of the note, and the Anchor he and Amser had woven through his Eye was not dragging them backward so much as sliding them along the length of notes that had been sounding since before the Scales. He thought about Closed Loops, about deeds already done in histories he had not lived yet, and for the first time the idea felt less like a rule and more like an anatomy. Of course the past could not be changed. One did not change the beginning of a note by arriving at its middle.

There was more out here. He could feel that there was more, entire weavings of the dark he was only brushing the edges of, and something in him marked the feeling carefully, because a place this rich in structure was a place something, somewhere, had surely learned to live in.

What lived in the space between Dimensions? Nothing he could see. That was not the same as nothing!

Eventually the reading settled into rhythm, and Noah let the Pantheon guide itself, the living vessel flowing along the chosen road with Ruination’s weave humming through every stanchion. He remained floating at its heart, his Estuary Eye turning above him and THE Pinion Vigil unfurled at his back, hundreds of eyes keeping their own watch on the frothing dark.

Nearby, THE Creature gazed out through the stanchions with a cold, unblinking attention, and Ryaenara stood beside him doing the same, two ancient beings watching an unknown road. Emotive stayed close against Noah’s side, and THE Infiniverse closer still.

As they traversed, Noah turned his attention inward, and called for himself.

"Show me where I stand again, Ruination."
