The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1970

Chapter 1970: Breaking Existence

Whatever Enoch did next, Rowan was loosely aware of it, Lumen had taken note, but its focus was on something else... the connection Lumen had with him.

The wings of Enoch had been discarded, and before understanding the history of End, Rowan would have thought that this decision was solely that of Enoch, but there was something more sinister in play here; the power of End must have surely recognized the memories of the Luminious left inside the wings of Enoch, and they made sure that he disposed of his wings.

If Enoch had kept his wings for longer than he did, then with the deaths of every Luminous, their legacy would be passed along to him, but the power of End would not want something like that to happen. If Enoch were aware that there was an unknown force stalking the entirety of Existence and the length that the Luminious had to go to hold back this force, then he would not have used the power of End that was given to him.

Rowan knew that he had finally found the edge over Enoch; however, what he had to gain was not yet over. The visions up to this point had been the foundation, and what was coming next would be the key.

The discarded wings of Enoch did not disappear; they went into dormancy, knowing that it was the only way they could preserve themselves.

By this time, Enoch was deep into the madness of End, and endless creation and chaos spewed from him like a flood. Enoch might have been thinking that it was Change that he sought, but the wings, Lumen, knew that all of this was a manipulation by the power of End to bring back its prime feeding ground. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

If Enoch had discovered that his wings had survived, he would have quickly destroyed them because he would be fearful that the stillness of the Luminious would infect his new paradise.

The Luminious knew that End grew by the power of Desire, and the more life that was spread by creation, conflicts and change would arise, and this would lead to another round of destruction, a destruction that it craves.

The threshold that the actions of the Luminious had denied this force would be achieved, and it would use the power of a Luminious to achieve its unknown purpose.

Lumen hid from the sight of Enoch and returned to the place where Enoch had sheltered himself from the destruction of the previous Existence. In that place, it had seen the remnants of the tools Enoch had used and realized that the power of End had deeply infected it.

At first, Lumen wanted to destroy the hammer and the forge, but it held back this desire, and chose to keep them, so it could sturdy this force.

Perhaps it was because this hammer and forge were built from Luminious Essence, making it almost indestructible, that it was able to hold so much power of End, and not just do so, but it made this power become dormant.

It was as if, in the destruction of Existence, a small part of End were cut off and imprisoned within the hammer and the forge. This became a chance for Lumen to understand this power; however, in the memories Lumen was passing to Rowan, the knowledge it had gained was not included.

Rowan would have found it suspicious if he did not know that what the wings had transmitted to him was already killing him. If he took any more than this, then he would have perished on the spot, and the chance for Eos to learn anything from his sojourn into this temple would be lost.
