The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1058

Chapter 1058: Behind The Curtains

Nyla looked at this strange immortal in confusion, he was right, she had no idea what he meant, how was the death of others meaningless in some instances and in others they were meaningful? What origin was or who could affect it? What was the reason why an immortal would show his grieving side to a mere mortal was also impossible for her to understand, however, what she could understand was pain and loss.

It seems like this immortal understood pain, and very deeply, also, he was not like the rest of his kind who knew only indifference towards those that were lower than them. Perhaps she should not be too surprised, was he not a killer as well as a protector? He claims that he had never crossed the line when he kills, and although this was a line that she would never see nor understand, Nyla found herself believing in his words, and in this manner, her decision was made.

She smiled and sat beside her mother, and watched her mother's face, the fear, love, and protectiveness frozen in her features as she looked at the baby was heartbreaking, and Nyla "whispered,

"How can I see beyond my nature?"

Nyla was not expecting a quick response but Rowan did not delay before he replied, "You have always been at the door but you had no idea how to push past it. Have you ever wondered how it is possible for you to absorb both energy from ascendancy and calamity at the same time, and still have your Ascendant Aura free from the taint of Calamity? You have only been using just the surface portion of your birthright. Look beyond the surface of things and explore what's beneath."

Nyla's heart shook, hearing it now it seemed so simple. Why did she not imagine the deeper interplay of the forces she had always been absorbing into her body? It had always been seen as normal for an Ascendant to grow with the Aura from both Ascendancy and Calamity because it had been purified by the world, it had always been regarded as harmless.

It was said that it was the Core Aura, which was the central power location, was the essence of every Ascendant, and purified Aura, whether from Ascendancy or Calamity was just fuel to feed the Core Aura.

Yet as this strange immortal had said, she was only looking at the surface of things, what could she find if she no longer looked at Aura as just energy and considered them for their individual Aspects? Her Core Aura was not just Ascendancy, it was more.

If Ascendancy was life, then she was accepting death every time she took into herself the Aura of Calamity. Perhaps both Ascendancy and Calamity were just two faces of a single coin.

Her thoughts entering new dimensions, Nyla did not realize that her speculations, the presence of Rowan, and the fact that she was on her last breath all created a unique state where her body essence began to unravel.
