The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1159

Chapter 1159: Mind Shock

The walk to the Mountain of Mourning was an enlightening one for Rowan because overhead the heavens were different, there were ten suns above, five were bright and five were dark, and they split reality in two.

In the north was total darkness, held totally by Calamity, and in the south was light, held by Ascendants. In this time the ten suns never set, their power kept everything in balance, and in the center that divided darkness and light was a region of twilight on which there were ten massive mountains.

Five of the mountains belong to an Ascendant power and the other five to Calamity. During this time there were five massive Ascendant Lines, all descendants of the Ascendant Suns, and they created kingdoms to foster new Ascendants for their bloodline.

Resembling a volcano, but with the top of it flat and with a circumference of a thousand miles, this massive mountain and the other mine could be seen rising into the clouds half a world away.

Shisu was the prince of one of the Ascendant kingdoms, called the Ganem Kingdom, after the Ascendant Sun, Ganem, whose light shone directly over the continent.

Shisu walked slowly, the palace was built directly under the Mountain of Mourning, this twilight mountain directly belonged to the Ganem family.

There were thousands of paths that led to the top of the mountain, three were reserved for the royal family, and as Shisu looked to his side, he could see on those thousands of paths were people, their numbers unknown, all flocking towards the top of the mountain, and because the people from all over the kingdom had been coming here for months, the top of the mountain had already been filled, and it was the massive pathways that were now being filled

up.

Some of them saw Shisu on the royal pathway, and the news spread across the people. Soon a riotous cheer rose that kept spreading and spreading until the Mountain of Mourning shook under the cries of the people for their noble prince.

Shisu shuddered in disgust, 'Maggots, worse, brain-dead maggots. How could I share similar roots with these versions, how can they breathe the same air as me?"

"My prince, are you okay?" Elves the general who came to bring the prince up the mountain looked at him in concern, but deep in his eyes, Shisu could see the suspicion inside of them and this made him curious and amused at the same time, of everyone here, apart from his mother, only the sack of hard meat seemed to peer a bit into the true thoughts of Shisu.

Shisu smiled at him and nodded before bringing one hand to weakly wave at the people cheering him, which brought a further round of greater commotion. His other hand hidden behind his back was squeezed so tightly that it was bloodless. Elves who were by his side saw this and he felt cold sweat down his brows, Shisu looked at him again and smiled, and the general knew that this boy had deliberately revealed the sickness in his heart.

Elves did not know if it was his imagination, but deep in the eyes of the prince he had seen red flames, that shone briefly before they disappeared, but he knew that the prince was supposed to be talentless when it came to Aura manipulation, and except for his great intellect he could not wield Aura.
