The Primordial Record novel Chapter 2047

Chapter 2047: Find Your Purpose In Death

"If you are all going to be making these choices, then who am I not to show you my resolve?" Eos announced with finality.

He raised up Noctis, the Primordial of Screaming Void, by his neck, displaying him to the other Primordials as he unlocked the shackles he had placed over the consciousness of the Primordial, and Noctis awakened instantaneously, and he looked around first in surprise, and then he laughed,

"Have you finally seen the light, Eos? You have brought me here to..." he suddenly paused, the laughter dying in his throat, and his face changed as he looked from one radiant face to another, a look of realization dawning in his eyes.

"Why are you so surprised, Noctis? Could it be that one of the Architects here among my Primordials told you what I just said before I woke you up?" Eos whispered, but his word carried across the group, causing a look of distrust to pass among them.

Eos’s grip on Noctis’s throat remained steady, almost gentle, the way a father might hold a wayward child before the lesson becomes permanent.

"You expected applause, after so long remaining inside my Realm, knowing that you are a betrayer and yet remain unhurt," Eos said softly. "You expected me to rage, to accuse, to tear my Realm apart in fury and fear as I look for the hidden Architect among my ranks. You expected division; the Temple of End has certainly made sure that my Origin Realms no longer have peace. But look around you, Noctis. Look at what remains unbroken."

The Primordial of Screaming Void tried to twist free, calling deeply on his Origin Essence, but the light pouring from Eos’s palm had become a second set of manacles, and his form flickered at the edges, black smoke bleeding into brightness and sizzling away. "What does it matter, Eos? You have made no relevant point. You revealing me here shows that after all this time, you cannot even punish me because you know that the cost is too high and I cannot die, unless you die."

Sheba, the Primordial of Unbroken Horizon, could no longer hold back her anger and sorrow at the being she had called her brother and partner for so long. Her voice was so filled with pain that it seemed to reach the Noctis that she knew and not the Architect,

"This is not who you are, Noctis. My brother is not one to serve at the feet of the ones who would condemn all of Existence to this madness. The one who fed you hope in the dark, the one who told you the Grand Creator would blink... they lie. Stand with us again, brother... with me."

For a moment, it seemed as if her words had touched something inside him, but then, Noctis bared teeth that were no longer teeth but rents in reality itself as he struggled to escape the hold of Eos. "You think I will betray myself, you stupid hut? I am greater than anything your small minds can imagine, and you should be worshipping the Temple that made the Eos to be who he is today, not him! We cannot be stopped, and we will have the final victory."
