Aware of the empty eyes of the priest following her movements Circe progressed through the gate and entered the temple, and she immediately thought that she was walking among the clouds.
Indeed it was clouds filled with lightning that covered the ground and extended for miles, until even with the eyes of an Earth god, Circe could not see the end of the temple. There were mighty tornados filled with ice and lightning, some of them were so massive and powerful that they could shatter a Minor World.
The Central Temple of Boreas could only be accessed by the Earth god of the Boreas bloodline, and if you were not an Earth god, you would need the protection of one to survive here.
Massive blocks of ice shaped in various forms filled the insides of the temple and on it were figures of worshippers, some were praying, others sat together in deep discussion, and it was not hard to guess the reasons for that.
The new Emperor was about to be named and in the entirety of Trion there was no greater matter, and even in the temple of the gods, it was still to be brought up. Her eyes passed over a group of people and suddenly returned to the group, her breathing went fast for a little bit before returning to normal, and with a force of will she turned away, and her revenge would come soon.
Circe set her eyes forward and began to walk, stepping on a passing lightning bolt, it carried her until she reached the very center of the temple. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
This area was filled with deep black clouds and powerful lightning bolts, even an Earth god would be wary of stepping into this region, but Circe did not pause, she entered and knelt, before genuflecting, her forehead touching the cold ground.
This was the last act of respect to her Primogenitor, and with a deep breath, she cast her Spirit into her Territory.
Her Territory was unlike anything she had ever known, it was empty like the void of space and was strangely filled with nothing but two drops of Aether, one resembled a black liquid and the other was shining with many colors like a rainbow.
Rowan had told her she would not need a Territory because she would be seizing the Divine Kingdom of Boreas, any Territory he created for her would be imperfect because he did not know the true state of Boreas' Divine Kingdom, and the second reason for this unique nature of her Territory was for her to be able to slip a part of his power into Boreas Divine Kingdom.
The first time she had seen the two drops of what she sensed was nothing but Aether, she had frowned not understanding how two drops of Aether would be enough to kill a god her Spirit had rushed to investigate, but common sense urged her to pause and reconsider her actions, nothing from Rowan was ever simple.
She had sent a single strand of her Spirit to explore and she had nearly died.
Circe had first analyzed the black Aether, her Spirit had not even come in contact with it and immediately she had felt an intense cold, and although she controlled the power of frost, this cold was different. It was as if she was plunging her entire Spirit into sub-zero ice, and to her horror, Circe found that her body had turned into black ice.
With a snort from Rowan, that condition had ceased and she spent hours inside her carriage gasping for breath, she was not foolish enough to investigate the second drop of Aether.
