Somewhere in the distance a sound like the world was being torn to pieces escaped outwards and a flock of gigantic birds that numbered probably in the billions took flight from that distant location and for the next eight minutes, they passed overhead and darkened the skies.
According to his estimation, each of these birds should be more powerful than a Rank 4 Mage. Hidden among their numbers were more gigantic birds whose scale of power was beyond what Andar could fathom.
Andar was struck by a sense of majesty that emanated from everything here in this place. From the creatures passing ahead and even the wind. It seems like a place that was untouched by time.
"Seen enough my young friend?" a sweet voice of an older woman sounded beside him.
Andar nearly rolled his eyes, were every being of power fond of taking advantage of his lack of perception? Although Andar understood that it was only due to his weakness, if they did not announce themselves then he would never know they were beside him.
Andar saw the kind face of an older woman beside him, standing just a few feet away. She appeared to be in her sixties and what struck Andar deeply were her eyes, which were brown and filled with warmth. He hurriedly bowed to her. She appeared like a mortal, but an instinct deep inside him made him aware that she was anything but one, there was a majesty around her that was impossible to hide even under the fragile form she carried.
"Oh my, you have such inquisitive eyes and they appear not to be dull. Such beautiful silver eyes, I don't believe I have ever seen it kind before, and you are also so young. Let me look at you child."
Andar stood still as she began to touch his face and shoulders, making quiet observations and nodding here and there. He could not help it, his body seemed to follow the wishes of this woman without any hesitation.
The old woman looked at him with a bit of perplexity in her eyes that Andar failed to notice. She had detected that the young Acolyte's body had felt the touch of her intent. This was already ridiculous, it would be difficult for even an Archmage to detect her touch, this child was a monster!
She was unaware that Andar had felt the touch of Labaletai, The Chaos Door, a being of Supreme Power, and although Andar had no memory of that encounter, his unique constitution remembered the touch of Intent.
