Such an enormous structure that was also very energy dense would take a lot from him before he could Fast Travel with it. Rowan began spreading the light of the Astrolabe over the entire palace. Due to its size, it was taking some time to cover it all.
Behind him, Fury roused himself, as he shook himself from the intense shock that plagued him. Rowan could understand a bit about what he was going through. This man had lived his entire life believing he was the top dog, granted with a great destiny with all the resources and secrets of the Empire open to him. frёeωebɳovel.com
He came to Rowan expecting he should be the one with all the answers, he was woefully wrong, his ignorance about Rowan was the first sign to him, that Fury was a child who had seen only a single tree for the first time and assumed he had seen an entire forest.
But there was only one reason Fury could have been really shocked by what Rowan had said to him, and to truly understand the cause, you needed to understand Medan, it was a language that could project intent and meaning in each word spoken. So there was no way Fury should not have heard what Rowan said, and he knew that fact.
The only reason Fury could not hear what he had said was that before now, someone had gone into his head and sealed any memory of that word from reaching him. The result of this was that during the course of his investigation he might have come into contact with the Order of Broken Eyes before, perhaps even investigated them, but he had no recollection of it.
It may have been a recent affair, or he might have been there since the moment Fury was born. Rowan did not know who was the true power behind the Order of Broken Eyes, but one thing was clear, their reach was extensive.
Fury was a pawn, for there was no way he would have made it to him before the Order, the most likely reason was that he was allowed him to reach him, and so when Rowan spoke, he made sure he projected the full meaning of the Order into his words, and it hit Fury like a bomb.
It was all his understanding about the Order and their methods, he told Fury about the Nexus, and he compressed all that information into just a simple question; did Fury know the Order of Broken Eyes?
Rowan was making a bet, that Fury had been compromised, and he was right. Now it was all up to him if he would be able to break the chains placed upon him. He saw no need in killing Fury, it was better to sow troubles in his enemies camp. If only he had a fully grown Angel, he would use it to possess this frightening genius.
Rowan heard his whispers, "How is it possible? Who betrayed me? Nathis? When did my mind no longer become my own?"
