The Primordial Record novel Chapter 2010

Chapter 2010: The Nexus of Betrayal

Eva frowned, "A year would be too little to travel to the places I want to show you."

Eos blinked and, holding her hand, pulled her closer to him, and his great Ominversal Wings erupted behind him, twin pillars of creation that connected the heavens and the earth, "You forget, you travel with me, and what is distant to you is meaningless to me."

Her lips twitching, Eva made a mocking bow, "Forgive me, Lord Eos, I forget that I was beside true eminence."

Eos snorted as he replied sarcastically, "Right... you forgot."

Eva laughed, and a feeling of despair rose in her heart. It had been a long time since she had seen him smile, and by all the light in creation, this man was beautiful. Perhaps she should accept that Eos would no longer want to sacrifice any of them for victory, but she knew that he would have to... if the time came that her death would lead to a slight positive shift in the direction of the war, she was willing to take it, but she feared that Eos would not allow her to die.

She needed to show him that these sacrifices were necessary. Maybe she would not succeed, the time when she was far more knowledgeable and experienced than he was over, and he had long exceeded the scope of her understanding, but there was still a chance that what she was about to show him might change his mind.

She was the Primordial of Revelations, and it was possible that the things she had seen might end up surprising even a being like Eos.

"Well, I have only one year, and there is much I need to show you. This is where we are to go." Eva gestured, and Eos could see the place she wanted to go deep inside Limbo. He was a bit surprised that in the short time that Eva had become the Primordial of Revelations, she had been able to reach such a place.

Her eyes pulsed with the Essence of Revelation, and Eos realized that Eva, in her wisdom, had been preparing for this moment. She might not know what challenge he would be facing in the future, but she had ensured that with her powers, she would be able to find answers that he might need, and the places she wanted to take him were one of the many paths she had investigated for the slightest chance that one day, he would need her assistance.

A wisp of a smile passed by his lips, and he gestured towards the space in front of them. This motion carried the aura of his Omniversal Wings as he took its power to open a road for them that led to the depths of Limbo.

Existence parted with a sigh, revealing a grey, soundless avenue paved with the forgotten names of the dead. Eva’s eyes widened when she saw these names, and even as a Primordial, she knew she could not count even a fraction of their number.

What made this even more shocking to her was that she recognized the writings and knew that only one hand could have penned all of these names, and it was Eos.

’How did he find the space in his heart to come to the depths of Existence and record all the names of the fallen? How much pain is in his heart?’

"We will walk my path first," Eos said, his voice stripped of all grandeur. It was the voice of a curator in a museum of nightmares. "So you understand the gallery you wish to add to."
