The Primordial Record novel Chapter 929

Chapter 929 Benefits of the Bloodline Of Time

Rowan understood that although in the greater schemes of things, the Reflections were weak. Like him, they had grand roots, but the circumstances they found themselves in were incredibly poor, it would have to be, because they were the survivors of a Primordial onslaught, it was a miracle that they existed at all.

Despite all this, killing the Reflections came with consequences that he was willing to accept, the alternatives could not be considered. One of the consequences was his haunting by the Eye, and to suppress this unwanted affliction, he had to seal the Eye, at least until he became strong enough to decipher all its secrets.

Sealing the Eye of the Primordial had prevented Rowan from accessing the souls and memories of the Reflections, depriving him of the pieces to the puzzle that was his past. It was an annoying setback, but one he knew would not last for long, with the deaths of the Reflection, time was on his side, and he would unravel the mysteries that were buried in history.

There was a vast amount of information and resources hidden in their memories, but at this moment accessing them was nearly impossible without exposing the Eye of the Primordial.

Questions about the origins of the Reflections, their true purpose, the knowledge they knew of reality and the past. So much knowledge was right at his fingertips but he could not access them because he had to Seal the Eye.

For a moment he had debated his actions in sealing the Eye with such powerful souls that would aid his understanding of the past, but then he compared both treasures and realized that he would have to forego discovering the secrets of the Reflections for now in exchange for keeping such a magnificent power like the Eye of a Primordial with him, and he would prefer if the only side-effect he was experiencing was just a mild chill, an unsealed Eye may affect him in ways he could not understand even though the Eye was not truly present here with him.

The things he could learn from the Eye were incalculable and in time it may prove to be one of his most valued assets if he could control and understand it, and so, he would rather suffer the inconvenience of losing the advantage of accessing the memories of the Reflection and keep the Eye, no matter how dangerous it was to have it around him. He doubted he could easily pick up an Eye of a Primordial, dead or otherwise.

Rowan sighed and pressed his fingers against his eyes, he could feel the beginning of a phantom headache building inside his head at the thought of the heights he would have to exceed in order to contain a Primordial's eye, but something exceeded that headache, it was excitement.

Rowan did not know what other people might be thinking if they were in his shoes, and he did not care about it that much, all he knew was that the thought of dominating a power that was considered to be supreme, even if it was only a small piece of it, was a challenge that made his blood boil.

Although he had faced harsh trials throughout his journey, there was always one constant thought at the back of his mind, and that was he was privileged to be in this position.

No matter the trials in the past or the future, he would rather be here facing it, standing against the might of a Primordial, than sitting inside a home in peace. He did not know when this transformation had occurred, but Rowan had begun to love these moments.
