Rowan's soul shivered when he thought about the fate of the Primordial of Time, and even though Rowan had only found out a bit about what had truly happened to the Primordial of Time, his fate was grim. He had sought to rule over everything and when he had failed the Primordials had made sure that he had suffered a terrible price.
The chains that represented time were not one of its Aspects, instead, it was what the Primordials had used to bind the power of Will so it could be accessed by lower-dimensional creatures.
It was one of the greatest humiliations for a Primordial that the chains used to bind him had become the symbol of his power.
Even an average god would go insane if a bunch of mortals were using their body as a footstool to reach a greater height, and a being like the Primordial of Time would suffer a disgrace that was countless times worse.
If the Primordial had any perception left at all, then Rowan could only imagine the rage and madness that would be carried in his heart, but this was of no concern to him, what Rowan was feeling now was the rage and sorrow that was being born from his emerging bloodline, and instead of it influencing his mental state, it only irritated him.Nôv(el)B\jnn
He was used to the intricacies of holding powerful bloodlines and knew that they all came with their quirks that needed careful sturdy and if needed, then suppression, and he would only need to be careful about the influence of this bloodline for the moment until he awakened his dimensional flesh, at that time even if he did nothing, the suppression from his other three Primordial Bloodlines would batter the Bloodline of Time into submission.
With a shrug, Rowan dismissed the influence of the Primordial Bloodline and focused on the Anima before him, it was not a mistake that he was dragged to this place, there was always a purpose to these things, and usually, he would not have to wait for long before it was revealed, but he was not a newbie to these game, and instead of being shown, he would rather search it out for himself.
Rowan bent down and touched the palm of the Primordial and his perception entered within, he saw the direction he was to proceed with, it resembled an endless hole that led into mysteries unknown. Without any hesitation, Rowan plunged into it.
They sat on large stones that seemed to have been roughly carved but there was a charm to every single chip on this stone that could draw in the minds of anyone who saw it, and in their center was a fire that was roasting a dragon.
It was one of the strangest dragons Rowan had ever seen, for one it had no scales on its body, in their place were eyes, its entire body was filled with countless trillions of eyes, giving it a frightening appearance that would send chills down the spine of anyone who saw it, especially since its cold eyes were especially active and was looking at countless directions at the same time.
One of the men reached into the fire which Rowan noticed was in the shape of a burning purple sphere as if it was a star that had been shrunk down, the man held one of the legs of the dragon and pulled, tearing away the limb with a sickening squelch, and drawing a shriek of pain from the dragon who Rowan realized despite the fact that it seemed to be missing its heart and all its internal organs with a massive log piercing through it, the dragon was still alive.
The man brought the limb to his face and Rowan saw something unexpected that he had surprisingly missed. The faces of all the men were blank as if they were mannequins.
The faceless man brought up the limb of the dragon to his face and it was absorbed into it as if it was a stone that was dropped into a pond, and on the faceless face of the man was birthed a thousand eyes.
The other two faceless men plunged their hands into the flame and they began to tear out limbs from the body of the dragon and absorb them into their bodies until the only thing that was left of the dragon was its skull which held only a single eye.
The features of the three men had changed, one of them had a thousand eyes on his face, the other had only one, and the last had six.
The thousand-eyed man picked up the skull of the dragon that held only a single eye and he proclaimed in a voice that was as dry as desert sand,
"Here lies the first of the Primordial Beast, Torch Dragon, your arrogance has given us sight."
