?Circe settled down since the process of boarding the Sand Line was mostly automatic and did not need any input from any of the carriage owners, especially her own who owned a rudimentary form of artificial intelligence.
For some reason, Rowan seemed to be very interested in the Sand Lines and she could her mutterings about magnetic yoke and Aether repulsion decoupling.
She recognized some of the terms but she soon became lost when he began speaking a more technical language that sounded like gibberish to her and she shifted her attention away, her discomfort was slowly diminishing and she was feeling sleepy.
When Circe fell asleep, she was not aware. Rowan observed her state for a while until he was satisfied that she was ready. Her merger with Archimedes had been reversed and the power that resulted from that merger had been collected by Rowan and purified into millions of different elements, all of which would be used to build her foundations.
With her asleep, Rowan began to work, he took out Rico's heart, making sure he had accurately memorized the resonance so he could find the living pile of shit stain any time he wanted, and he began to rebuild Circe's heart.
He maintained her blood flow throughout her body, making sure all her organs were receiving the life carrying fluids, and he tried not to distract himself with the frail nature of a mortal flesh, especially as Circe was now at the Rift State and could be killed by a small gust of wind.
Of course he knew that mortals were not that weak, but it was hard to convince himself sometimes.
Who created the first mortal?
Rowan might not know much, but he knew that the Primordials came first, if there was something older than the Primordials, then they were unknown. What actions did the Primordials take that began to spread life throughout the many universes?
If it was Chaos that created the universes, what was the reason he did something like this? Also, the words of Archimedes stuck with him. Ohrox had said that only mortals were truly free, and the Immortals were nothing but playthings for the almighty.
Yet Rowan knew that this was truly not the case. Even a mortal was not free, for their Soul was not truly their own. Except for the few Soul Origins Rowan had been able to gather either by accident or by various odd events, he knew that what he even considered the soul was not complete without the Origin.
This was the trigger that caused the change in mindset for Rowan. The reason that the Will he chose was to seek out the truth, nothing else would do. Not power or immortality, what he wanted to know was the secrets behind it all. That drive had become an obsession that was so great that he had transformed into a creature whose entire purpose was to unearth the truth behind existence.
Chaos chooses to become Reality, Asteraoth becomes Light, and I am to become Truth… Yet this is not all of my potential, with my Nascent Primordial Bloodline of Sheol I can still become Soul Origin, and if my plans for the Ouroboros Bloodline go towards the direction I want, then I will have another Nascent Primordial Bloodline.
