The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1536

At those words, the burning eyes of the Adjudicator flared bright, "Why would you think we shall stand by and watch you devour Angels like you once did? You forget that all of Reality had been embroiled in war in that Era, and we were focused on other things; in this Era, the Celestial Domain has thrived, Seed. We have multiple Thrones. What do you have? Your greed has doomed your domain to house you alone. Were there not more of your kind before? Perhaps you would not be in this position, and we would be talking about something else if you had not also eaten them too. Still, I see that you remain a master at distorting the topic under consideration. This body would not last for long, so answer my question, Seed, who brought this storm?"

Seed shrugged, "I do not know. The man I looked to for that answer had fled, and your action of twisting the minds of these fools here had ensured that he escaped."

The Adjudicator sniffed, "I do not know what you are talking about. They saw the destruction you brought upon their land that you could have easily resolved. Is it surprising that they attacked you?"

"These weaklings have no spine, even if I kill all their descendants, they would spend years in deliberation," Seed pointed out, "They rushed here because of your manipulation, which more than anything shows the rot in the center of the Eldar's branch that your Light has infected so many minds. Do not bother denying it. Your action plays into my plan, and I do not hold it against you. The plans for this domain have failed. This is my chance to remake it from the root."

The Adjudicator froze before he smiled, "Good, but I still do not admit to anything here, I just simply took this shell that had worshiped my light from the time he was born. Now, on to other matters that are more important. The storm, who is the man who has the answers?"

Seed pointed in the direction of the Celestial Domain, "As much as I would like to tell you that answer…" A sudden, violent gesture from Seed tore through the midsection of the body possessed by the Adjudicator, and Seed snatched his glowing heart surrounded by white flames. "…I do not owe you an answer, and the next time I see you, Adjudicator, I shall kill you."

The fiery eyes of the Adjudicator looked at Seed with fury before he smiled,

"Your domain shall burn, I will make sure of it."

The light vanished in the man's eyes, and he collapsed. Seed crushed the flaming heart and regarded the storm above, as confusion filled his heart. Gritting his teeth, he walked towards the Memory of Primordial Light. He was tired of being in the dark, and he needed answers.

Rowan did not linger for long after sending that attack against Seed because he could not win this fight, not inside the domain of his enemy and so close to the sleeping Primordial Life whose Intent was hovering over him like a poisonous cloud.

Before he left, Rowan's senses swept towards the direction of Elura's domain, towards the worlds that Maeve had nurtured, which held his subjects from Trion, many of them who had become friends with him after the years went by.

They were dead, all of them.

There were many ways they could have being killed and all would be peaceful, but someone had slit their throat, and from the expression in their dying faces, their end had not been anything but calm.
