The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1931

Capítulo 1931: Remember My Name (1)

“Yes, Rowan, your origins, or do you believe I would keep this truth from you when it serves my enemies better to keep you from it?” Enoch smirked when he saw the shock in the eyes of Rowan. Even though they both knew that Rowan was a consummate actor, there were some things that could not be faked.

Rowan rested his head on his throne for a moment before he burst into laughter, “This is so familiar,” he said, “I once had a conversation similar to this with Death, and even then, the beast did not believe me until it was too late.”

Raising his head up to see the question in Enoch’s eyes, Rowan sighed, “You must have seen that memory of me with the Beast of Final Rest, who, like you, was gaining great benefits from the slaughter that the Primordials were having all over Reality. The beast thought that all the benefits it was gaining would carry a price that it could bear… now there is war on its doorsteps.”

“You compare me with a damned beast?” Enoch growled, “That opportunist took my light for itself, and now it suffers the consequences.”

“You miss the entire point, Enoch,” Rowan nearly rolled his eyes, “Or are you refusing to acknowledge it? The Primordials you created have minds of their own, and they were not fools; they could see the inevitable end of their path. Answer me this: what would happen to the Primordials after they are done with your work?”

Enoch cocked his head to the side as if in surprise at the obvious question from Rowan, “I gave them my light and allowed them to see the true face of eternity, of all lifeforms to ever exist, they have received the most grace from me… Their lives and entire existence are pledged to me to do what I see fit, and they should have returned everything back to me as it was always intended from the start.”

“But there is something you are missing here, Enoch. You created the Primordials out of your Light, and that means that they are a part of you; they carry your purpose, but they also carry your hunger. Why would you ever think any part of you would be satisfied with giving up the things you want? You blame everything else, but you refuse to look in the mirror and see that the Primordials are your Reflection staring back at you… by your actions, you have created your greatest enemy.”

Enoch hissed like a snake, almost causing Rowan to flinch at the hatred and anger he sensed inside him, “No one deserves to be my enemy, not those thretherous pieces and certainly not you. I have grown bored with this tale and the conversation that follows it, and now we should discuss the terms of your agreement.”

“My agreement?” Rowan blinked, “Is this not supposed to be a two-way street, and we both get what we want?”

“Oh, was that the impression I gave you?” Enoch chuckled, “Well you are wrong, and the hand I hold is stronger than yours so your agreement is going to be lesser… hmm, it seems like you think you have more of a bargaining chip, or is it because you think your main body is safe from me and there is nothing I can do to you that would truly affect him? Hahaha, there is a reason I am showing you the present state of Reality, watch and see what is to come, and then tell me how many cards you have left to play.”
