"Oh, Trion… The Jewel in an Ocean ofStars, how you glow…
"Oh, Trion… You only need to get close to smell the rot hidden behind the glory…
"Oh, Trion… you are a monument built on the dead, and their ghosts haunt your every moment…
"Oh, Trion… your glory walks hand in hand with your doom, and you shall take us all with you…"
"Oh, Trion… How can….
"That is a stupid poem, and you also know that it is forbidden, Father."
An exasperated sigh from a white-haired girl sounded in the void of space, carried by wispy strands of Aether that resembled spider webs.
"Hahaha, I know that there is no apparent rhythm, but its strong word choices and clear message make it a powerful one. Doesn't that make it exciting, em… child."
A white-haired man replied to the girl with a smile in his tone,it was Telmus and he was standing on the back of a Bone Dragon more than seven miles long, beside him was his daughter.
She frowned at his words, "Why do you always do that?"
"Do what?" Telmus replied in feigned surprise.
"Make it awkward anytime you speak to me. You were the one who refused to give me a name!" The girl shot back.
Telmus' hand moved so fast it was impossible to detect the motion of his limb as he appeared not to have made any move at all. He smacked her on the head and she yelped, he began speaking in a lecturing tone that he knew she hated,
"A name has great power, child, of a sort that you cannot fully comprehend. This is the greatest truth I shall ever tell you, and that is, I wish I had not been given mine before I had the opportunity to choose for myself..m before I had the opportunity to earn it for myself. I am giving you a valuable chance and it is up to you to seize it. You should be on your knees every day thanking me child for my unmatched wisdom, for you are the only Child of Trion without its name… you are free."
She rubbed her head in annoyance, after all this time she had not been able to dodge a single one of his blows, even those he used without any shred of power behind it.
How could she ever catch up to this man?
She could not hope to understand his power or the depths of his wisdom and even though she acknowledged what he said as truth in her heart, she refused to allow it to show on the outside, it would only feed his overly gigantic ego.
Telmus did not wait for her to finish sulking before he continued speaking,
"We are here to celebrate with your mother's Ascension child, she is now an Earth god, took far more time than she needed to, but at least she would not fade in the next few millennia."
