The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1235

Chapter 1235: Resting Ground

Ascendant Suns Dilos and Trelmol's conditions had not been great when the Time Storms began to ravage the realm, fighting against the Eye of Time had reduced them to pieces, and so, unlike the Calamity Suns that were able to fight against the hold of time, the two Ascendant Suns that were preoccupied with healing themselves could not resist, and they were flung far back into the distant past.

Due to the manner in which their bodies had been intertwined after they were shattered, they were not separated in the chaos, and when the ravage of the time storm unexpectedly ended as if it had been sucked away, they found themselves in a seemingly endless forest.

It took weeks to heal from the lingering effect of Time on their bodies, and in that time they chose to remain in one place in silence for although they understood that they were still in the same realm of their birth, everything here was different, perhaps hostile, and for Ascendants of their level, their instincts were almost premonitions, and so they remained inconspicuous until they could heal their wounds and gain a measure of strength to defend themselves with. With their healing completed, for the first time in tens of millions of years, the Ascendant Suns hid their glow, and like wraiths they slipped through the forest, marveling at the size of each tree that was miles high and the incredible strength in their wooden bodies, they knew this because they could feel the presence of weight in each tree, as if they were looking at an entire world instead of one tree.

They were not heading in a random direction because they noticed that the trees ahead were getting bigger, and those behind were smaller, and following instincts they headed towards the direction with larger trees, there was an equal consensus among the two Ascendant Suns to understand what time period they were before they began struggling to push towards the present.

The history of Ascendancy and Calamity was covered in fog, and even the two great Ascendant Suns did not know of their past, they awakened as they were, powerful and eternal, and for a while there was no need to understand what might have been when they were all that was.

When the Ascendants' Suns began to fall to Calamity for one reason or another, it was impossible for the survivors not to tell that even their realm was against them, which they knew should not be the case, and this made them begin to question their past.

The many discrepancies of their existence began to reveal themselves anytime they attempted to travel to the past. As Ascendant Suns, the power to reach the past with their Will was supposed to be within their reach, but they could never return past the moment when they opened their eyes to this reality.

They knew that this realm was old, although many things on the surface were new, such as the continents and the threshold that separated the heavens and the earth, but the endless ocean was old, and the wind was even older.

The taste of great age on the breeze was palpable, and sometimes deep in the ocean floor, they could find weird markings, nothing physical of course, but traces of foreign energy not falling into the category of Ascendancy or Calamity, and they knew this was not signs of intruders in their realm because these energy traces were incredibly old.

Now finding themselves in this past where these massive trees that had not been present when they were born and detecting the foreign power flooding through them, they knew that whatever had happened to them, this one could be considered a blessing in disguise, or maybe a curse, they had no way of knowing.

The journey through the endless trees continued for years, and the miles they had passed were countless, but time for immortals was almost an abstract concept. At this time each tree they were passing had now become so massive it was almost impossible to see their crowns and it took several moments for them to be able to fly past one.

Over time the sense of power they were getting from these trees was becoming stronger and they estimated that in the region they were passing, the surrounding trees were equal to Ascendants at the second Dan!
