Chapter 1124 Cap 1122: Eclipse Progenitor Part 5



I felt the presence of the Dragon God spreading throughout this place and the blessing I carry from him awaken within my body. 

But that power did nothing but spread through my body through my veins, other than that nothing else happened. 

"..." (I) 

I soon realized something, I could see the statues that had formed from the crystal columns changing shape by moving their eyes all at the same time, but it wasn't me, Arash, or any of the Elder Dragons that the statues were looking at. 

The statues were looking at the same point, a place where there was nothing, but I knew it was right in the middle of the hall of monuments below, I remember because that's where I was standing when I was here a few days ago. 

"All in their positions." (Arash) 

"Wait for..." (I) 

"The focus of the ceremony should be on the center." (Arash) 

Arash just moved his hands and I was knocked to my feet in the middle, right where the statues were looking. 

I felt that Arash's movements were making the energy of the Dragon God around move, he waves a few more times his hands moving my Familiars, children, and those connected to me. 

Meanwhile, the Elder Dragons were moving on their own, each of them took a position where different Kingdoms will rise, I quickly realized that their positions were the same as the monuments I saw standing below us days ago. 

My children stand behind me with their hands cut off, their blood flowing to where I was revealing grooves in the floor I hadn't noticed before, these patterns being revealed by the blood it looked like a mural of drawings about the history of Dragons, I saw something similar in some of the books I read in the last few days. 

My Familiars knelt behind me as did those who had become my Heroes, my two Saints stood on either side of me, one raising a crystal with the symbol of a drop of red blood, the other with a crystal with the symbol of a Eclipse. 

I don't know where these two got these crystals, but it looks like everyone was given instructions on what they were supposed to do, my sisters being the only ones standing around doing nothing. 

When the grooves in the ground filled with the blood of my sons thrones formed behind the Elder Dragons where they all sat down at the same time, I felt the presence of the Dragon God focus in the design revealed by the blood on the ground. 

Arash has his scales, horns, wings, and tail become more prominent revealing more of his Dragon nature while staying out of the drawing on the ground. 

"<As Dragon Emperor I proclaim the beginning of the Ceremony of the Progenitor, may Akatosh be a witness to that day.>" (Arash) 

Arash's words resonate with the presence of the Dragon God in the surroundings and once again I find myself feeling that feeling of being watched, this time stronger than the last time. 

When I try to look around I realize that it had changed locations, but only me. 

This time I was standing completely naked inside the hall with the various monuments that I saw from above days ago, when I looked up everyone was still in their same positions, including me who was still among them. 

It didn't make sense for me to see my own body, it was something strange for me, but it wasn't the first time, what baffled me was the fact that I didn't know when or how it happened without me noticing. 

I also didn't know if I was just in a mental projection, if I was inside an illusion, or if I was in a Soul state in that place. 

Unfortunately, I had too many questions and no time to look for those answers. 

I could feel myself being watched and considered it more important, when I looked up I noticed that the Elder Dragons had eyes glowing in the same colors as the thrones they are sitting on. 

"(You're back...)" "(Is this a new one?)" 

"(His lineage is full of variants...)" 

"(Does he look like a Demigod?)" "(What's his name?)" 

"(What's your strength?)" 

"(Do you know who I am?)" "(Do you know who we are?)" 

"(Parent.)" "(Parent.)" "(Parent.)" "(Parent.)" "(Parent.)" "(Parent.)" 

"(A new Progenitor?)" "(Yes, a new Progenitor.)" 

"..." (I) 

I could suddenly hear several voices in my head, each voice extremely powerful carrying boundless will, I was being overwhelmed by these voices with each word resonating in my mind, these voices spoke sometimes one at a time, and other times they spoke together. 

But something they always had in common was me, asking things about the mummy or stating things about me, I noticed the monuments glow along with the voices in my head. 

At this point, it was not difficult to identify that these voices come from the monuments that in turn came from the Progenitors, the Primordial Dragons. 

This time I could feel the feeling I always felt, the feeling of my blood reacting on these monuments, I could feel the power of the Dragon God enhancing this feeling. 

"(What is your Strength?)" "(What do you fight for?)" 

"(What do you seek?)" "(Why do you persist?)" 

"(Tell me.)" "(Tell us!)" "(Reveal your truth!!!)" 

This feeling only grew more and more when several Auras along with Authority began to emanate from the monuments to strike me, it was at that moment that I realized that I could not use my Aura and my Authority. 

In that situation I keep hearing several voices saying different things, I was being overwhelmed by the power contained in the monuments and I was dealing with this still unknown something inside of me, I couldn't stay focused on one thing. 

Soon I could feel, something in my mind seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, several images from my previous life to the present day that I live in this new life, it seemed that my whole life passed through my eyes slowly, but at the same time, it was so fast. 

As I was reliving those memories in what could be a fleeting moment or days and days, all the while the questions still popping into my head. 

That's when I reached the same conclusion I had taken a long time ago, willpower was always what moved me forward, no matter how desperate I felt or while everyone said it was impossible, I took a step further than anyone I hoped because of my resolve to have the willpower to go further than others and to take risks. 

Even the times I helped someone was based on their willpower, I never liked reaching out to those who no longer have willpower in their bodies. 

When I thought of that the questions stopped as a surge of energy surged from within me, being expelled by the Dragon God's power coursing through my veins. 

That's when I realized that the body that was in the hall of monuments was neither my Soul nor a mental projection, it was something much more significant that was always there sleeping inside me without ever being noticed or understood. 

"(A willingness to walk into the unknown.)" (I) 

"(A curiosity to reveal all truths.)" (I) 

"(A resolution never to be stopped on the way.)" (I) 

As I thought, the body where my consciousness was changing, no longer being in Human form but changing into the silhouette of a Dragon with an image of the universe within it. 

"A boundless will that surpasses all illusions, this is what I seek." (I) 

Next thing I knew, my consciousness was back in my body and instinctively I looked down to where I once thought I was, now there was only a new monument with Runes I couldn't read dancing across its surface. 

But somehow I knew what each Rune meant even without knowing how to read their language, it was strange and familiar at the same time. 

I suddenly knew what the monument was, I knew its meaning and I knew its origin, a representation of me and an eternal mark of my existence, a Totem for all those who would one day share my Lineage and descent. 

A Totem to be the protection of my future descendants, as this was formed I could feel the connection of my lineage with this monument, I could also feel its connection with different intensities with each person here. 

"<A new Primordial joins his equals on the eternal throne, may his existence be praised by the entity among Dragons.>" (Arash) 

"<Zenos, the Progenitor of Eclipse joins his equals!>" (Elder Dragons) 

Ding! 

With that, the Ceremony ended, but as I stood looking down, I could feel a part of me in that monument, a part of me sleeping as if it wasn't necessary and the same could be said of the other monuments as time went by. 

When everyone was taken away only Arash and I were left in that place, even my Familiars left. 

"From now on every True Dragon in this universe will know about you, they felt the new pillar that joins as a Primordial." (Arash) 

"So there are things you must do, but it's all up to you." (Arash)
