Chapter 981 The Divide Between Heart and Mind

Old Man Seed muttered with fascination in his tone,

"So it is true, when the Supreme Circle is activated it provides one with infinite energy. Meat trick, kind of useless to most people, but with your Soul's power, hehene... you would be a monster. Perhaps you might be the few to kill Will Holders while still under the 9th Supreme Circle, and I am not just talking about those in the fourth dimension. Another mystery solved and the day had just begun."

Old Man Seed's voice was like a whip and Elura gasped as she let go of his face and stepped backward, she did not hide the shock in her eyes or demeanor, Elura pulled herself together and seemed to have come to a conclusion and gestured towards her father, Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

"Leave us for a while Father, there are things that I must discuss with my son. It is for our ears alone. Mother and son."

Old Man Seed looked at Elura for a while, countless unspoken words passing between both of them before nodding, as he was about to leave he paused and turned his head towards Rowan while addressing Elura,

"Do not take long, he is still going to be tested. Harshly. Now that he has activated four Supreme Circles, there is no more time for delays. I will be placing him in a gauntlet that is fit for someone of his stature. I thought I had already pushed the difficulty to an impossible level, but your son has proven again and again how much we have underestimated him, I will no longer be making that mistake."

"I understand Father, this would not take long and I will be leaving him in your care until he becomes Immortal and he would be given his crown as a Sanctified Scion and shown to all of creation. He would hold your Prime key, and he shall be the true heir of Miracle."

The old man paused and then grinned, "Oh, Elura, the heights of your ambitions. Here I was thinking you were insane, but now... I am getting old."

He walked off into the horizon, a few steps taking him across thousands of miles before he vanished before the glow of the setting sun.

"Certain situations that transpired in my youth have forced me to never leave a door opened for anyone to find a way to harm me or my interest, there could be no chink in my armor in any manner, and that fear and desire for control over my destiny affected my decision when it came time for me to give birth to my heir. Nothing could ever be good enough."

Elura looked uncomfortable and she shifted around, Rowan's face showed no emotion and his alien eyes that were exuding such fantastical lights never left her face, like a snake looking at a mouse, Rowan allowed the alien nature of himself to come through.

He could not help himself, because a part of him wanted to believe Elura's story, that part of him that was in pain, and so he allowed himself to feel everything, opening himself in a manner that he would never do, it was both a plea and a warning.

Elura was on thin ice, whatever was said here would be remembered, and if Elura wished to play games with the few things that could touch his bottom line, he would not be holding back.

After fidgeting for a while Elura met his gaze without flinching,

"I'm sorry my son, sometimes good intentions may result in a cruel outcome. To protect you from the eyes of my enemies and leave you without flaws I took steps that were born from good intentions, and never bothered if the outcome would be cruel, not just to me, but more importantly to you. There is much you don't know about your power and bloodline,"

She chuckled in an almost nervous manner when she mentioned the word, bloodline,

"You should have learned all these and more in the Eld Seed I had arranged for you, but you did not follow my predetermined path. At first, I was angered, you are but a child, with no idea of the vastness of the horizon or the true depths of the deep, you were an arrogant youngling with wings of wax outspread to the skies, showing off your glory, yet not understanding... comprehending, how hot and uncaring the flames of the sun. It will burn you, leaving nothing behind, you did not understand dominion and I gave you no chance to learn the reason for this, and for this failure I am sorry."

She sighed and summoned a long needle and held the sharp point to the middle of her forehead and she began pushing it down,

"It is time I showed you everything."
