?The time she waited for could have been a few short hours, or perhaps longer… Gravity and time acted a bit weird inside the core of a star, a few seconds could be gained and lost without any rhyme or reason.

Rowan’s eyes opened and he stood up, bright blue plasma slowly rolled away from his perfect physique, it was as if the plasma did not want to stop touching his skin and begrudgingly fell from his body. 𝘪𝘳.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Eva fashioned a robe from star fire and darkness and had to stand on her tiptoes in order for her to spread it over his broad shoulders and spread across the ground. Rowan was focused on something else as he opened his lips and breathed out a stream of pale fog that fell into his hand.

The fog began to vibrate and shift its form, slowly expanding and contracting as if it were a beating heart. Rowan kept adjusting the fog and it swirled around and two piercing serpentine eyes emerged from it. Rowan smiled.

Walking to his side Eva’s eyes widened in surprise, “You have created another Reflection? I thought you were only able to create one of these things.”

Rowan whispered as he peered at the pale fog in his hands that was beginning to take the shape of a man, “I did not say I was only able to create one. I just needed to sleep to access the Great Darkness inside my bloodline, my other side that is dormant and cleaved from it, that dead part of me that should ever remain asleep. To be fair, I think this is the last time I would be able to sleep, the next time I do, I would most likely be dead.”

Rowan unexpectedly gritted his teeth as his body began to vibrate, it took a while before it settled. He groaned in annoyance and began to speak in a measured tone, his mind was on many things,

“I have a big problem Eva, my Ouroboros Bloodline’s Absolute Body can no longer hold my Nascent Primordial Bloodline, it is taking all my attention to keep my body from tearing apart and bursting out of the universe.”

He brought up a hand to stop Eva from talking, “I know your stance, you would like me to leave this universe, disregard my Ouroboros Bloodline, and find my path in the Great Darkness, but that would be a mistake because you cannot begin to see reality the way I witness it.”

Rowan waved his hands and the floor below him came alive creating a pool, in a short while, fishes, crabs, seaweeds, and many other marine lives filled the pool, all made from flames and star matter filled the pool and the smell of life erupted and Eva gasped.

Rowan had imbued his motion with Soul Energy and every elemental life here was alive and conscious! They could grow stronger and their potential was great, each of them as powerful as a Dominator at the Earth god level.

He gestured and a beautiful carp with scales of fire and brown glass floated before him, its eyes were inquisitive and filled with awe as it held Rowan in its gaze,

“Eva, there is a single truth to all of existence that I have been able to understand… from the moment of our birth we all have owners, we are too young and many old things have separated all there is to be, and we are the children of whichever domain we were lucky or unlucky to fall into.”

Rowan let the carp return and it swam away through the air, it turned back once to look at Rowan before it plunged into the moving tide of a solar river and vanished from sight.

Rowan sighed and snapped his fingers, and the Manor collapsed to nothing and he began to walk across the edges of the solar river, keeping pace with the swimming carp.

“Our owners could be benevolent, giving their children the freedom to live as they want, or they could be ambitious, hoping their children could give them the stuff of their desires, or they could be… cruel. Notwithstanding whatever path the owner seeks to follow, their children have no hope of going against their Will. Let me show you a small part of it.”

Eva shivered at the mention of will, for at that moment Rowan shared a bit of his sight and Eva went pale and sank to her knees, her mind was in chaos and she began to bleed for her eyes, with a small cry of pain, her mind went blank, she had lost consciousness.

She woke up to whispers and slowly opened her eyes. Rowan had created a comfortable bed for her, and she pushed away her drowsiness and witnessed a strange sight. .

Rowan was kneeling beside the ear of a titan, and as she spread her consciousness, she discovered that this Titan was another Rowan, whose eyes were closed and a pale fog was slowly streaming into his brows.

Eva wondered to herself, ‘Was this a new method he was using to control his Reflection?’

At six hundred miles in length, even though he was lying on his back, this body was as large as a mountain range, a mortal could not see one end of the body to another.

Rowan’s whispers to this gigantic body continued and Eva shuddered as the brief memory she had of the vision he showed her threatened to drive her to madness or oblivion.

“By the light, is this how a Primordial understands reality?”

It was hard to begin gathering all the pieces of her mind, but Eva did it, slowly and surely and when she was done, she reviewed the memory.

Rowan had shown her just his hands, this was what she could comprehend. She saw his hand that was as large as a mountain, and her sight slowly zoomed into it and she began to see what lies beneath his skin, she saw his bones and his powdery golden blood that resembled stars and his Essence, then her sight trembled and she saw what was below.

Eva screamed again and fainted. Rowan in the distance sighed and continued whispering to his Reflection. If the deduction from Knowledge Well was correct, he had only one chance to succeed in his daring plan.
