The Primordial Record novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270 Lament For The Fallen

For thousands of years the Great Storm had been made up of an icy chill that swept through the planet, but now it was made from flames and boiling blood.

They began eating their way through the planet and its moons, and the moon where Rowan had his battle with Dorian began to slowly crack open.

The first underground city to experience the wrath of a dying god was Mrinah. The devastation Nezrakim wrought on that city was extensive, and the Angel's final move when he pierced through the ground above the city exposed it to the devastation.

The hundreds of workers trying to seal the holes in the ground barely recognized the reason for their death before turning to ash, and the flames and blood inundated the city.

Until the end, as the endless waves of destruction swept throughout the city, the people of Jarkarr did not stop chanting his name.

That chant transformed into the Ballad of Erohim, for those that truly know the meaning of the song, it was both a song of the gods' rise, but it was also a dirge for his fall.

Their voices rose as one, even as the flames collected them all.

It was a butter sweet farewell of a sort, as the death cry of their god revealed his end. It may not be the wish of the people when signs began to reveal itself of his rise, but they were his people, and they would follow him, even unto death.

These events happened in Trinad also, in the last city krakow , something else happened, but in appearance alone, this city died the same way as the other two.

A few tried to escape the cataclysm, but they could not run far, chief among them were the members of the Boreas Family, and they sealed themselves in enchanted vaults, while the unlucky ones did not make it, they cried as they beat their ends against the closed doors, and their pleas went unanswered before they were consumed.

Rowan had expected something like this to happen, whether it was the last act of retaliation from the god, or a side effect of killing one, he had expected large-scale destruction, and in his mind, keeping the people alive in that convoy was enough.

The ten Angels went to all corners of the planet and they showed him the events taking place.

A few months back and Rowan would have been devastated, he would have mourned it, maybe even fallen into madness at the death of untold millions that occurred due to the result of his actions.

But that was before he lost his Soul. Before he knew his bloodline would never permit weakness, and the last of his humanity was lost, as the only thing that was left an Empyrean.

He had preserved his humanity by making what he called seeds. He would never totally destroy a world, he would always leave a future, and that future he would protect from others like him who would destroy it.

It was the reason he had sent Suriel to protect them, as he no longer kept his Angels hidden because with their exposure to Erohim there was no reason to hide them any longer and with the unlocking of his Fast Travel Chamber inside his Palace of Ice, he could be more bold.
