It took everything from Vraegar to draw his eyes away from Rowans.
The vision… Everything he had seen nearly drove him mad, and for a brief moment, he thought death would be a better option than being in service to his father, but the stubborn trait of an Empyrean stayed with him, and that thought brought him shame.
If I am of the same blood as my father, then I have the potential to become something as dreadful and magnificent as that figure, Vraegar thought to himself. The fear of Rowan had infected deep into his every cell, but it no longer brought him closer to madness.
Instead, through that fear, a new emotion was born into his heart, and that emotion was adoration. If there was to be anything to be worshiped in this world, should it not be power? Who else was more worthy?
"Let me worship… Ender of all things."
Rowan's eyes softened, "then I shall give you a chance to get back more than what you have lost, and the price of your loyalty would be power!" free𝑤ebnovel.com
From the finger bone, Rowan began drawing out all the streaks of darkness away from it.
It was easier than he expected because the bloodline source recognized him as the owner, and returned to him willingly.
The surrounding began to freeze with a black ice, but with the Purple Black Aether that Rowan currently controlled, this amount of frost was negligible.
In a few moments, he held a hovering ball of darkness in his hand and the finger bone was now different, it was white with golden streaks on it, and its weight had noticeably increased.
Rowan looked at the dragon one more time, "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end. Your time as a Scion of Darkness is at an end, and from it a new beginning for you would be forged. Do not despair for what you have lost, but rejoice for the eternity you have been given in its stead."
He sent the finger bone into the dragon's chest, and the remaining of its dying heart wrapped around it, a bloodline pulse that cracked the ground for miles around erupted from the dragon's body and his massive mountain-like body began to collapse and feed into his heart.
It would take some time to finish and so to accelerate the process and give the dragon a more magnificent foundation, Rowan sent twelve drops of his blood over to the shrinking body of the dragon and the change accelerated.
