The Primordial Record novel Chapter 242

Chapter 242 Eva's Story

Eva looked down, and her voice was low, but he could hear every word she spoke, "I am not the same person I was, even saying I have nothing relating to my previous self is an understatement, yet I still have a brief recollection of that time. I know I had a father once, and I betrayed someone important, and for that sin I was tortured me for countless eternities. That's all I can remember, before falling into a Darkness that would never end, I was to be locked inside that place, and everything of me was to be stripped away, I was to languish in Oblivion until the end of time and beyond that end. I think I died countless times inside the Darkness. I am nothing but a copy of a copy of another endless more copies, doomed to watch everything of me fade into nonexistence, until you came for me. My first memory is of your warm hand drawing me away from the Darkness, Creator. I seized your hand and I would rather not let go, and worshiping your light became my purpose. I will not falter, not until everything is over, for better or worse."

Rowan's voice was low, almost like the hissing of a serpent,"Do you have any idea who did that to you?"

Eva smiled at him,"No, but I suspect the shadow is trying to tell me of it. It should be a part of myself that has been lost under the endless wave of darkness."

Rowan sighed, "we will find who did this to you, and they shall pay for it. You are now one with me, Eva, and so you should call me by my name from now on."

"I'm not… worthy Creator."

Rowan rolled his eyes, he knew he heard her cursing him a while back, "It's an order then."

Eva smiled, "Yes… Rowan."

"Let's go, we have work to do."

Rowan had many reasons for his journey to the moon, and one among them was because he wanted to determine how much energy was spent to travel using Astrolabe.

He began experimenting with the consumption of power using different scenarios. First he fast traveled down to the planet and back to the moon, and he began moving random items between the two places, including mountains, forests, and living creatures.

He discovered that during his experiments he could use both his bodily essence and Aether, and the amount of energy consumed by them was different when he moved different things.

Aether was consumed more when moving living creatures but less when moving non-living entities and vice versa, for his bodily essence. He consumed less essence when moving living creatures and more essence when moving non-living entities.
