The revelation made sense to Listrel. Her powers had always been sensitive to Earth, and even she could feel the power of Earth surging in this Planeworld that had no light. Without the presence of powerful light, she could feel the earth's pulse and be even sensitive to the shifting of the Earth.
But Listrel was stunned to learn of how Lea would complent her power.
"Her power complents mine?" Lea asked.
"Lea Olethros. You bear the na of destruction. I think I understand now. I could guess what happened at the start and how your na is related to the power of the dark abyss of water."
"Please enlighten ." Lea asked.
"The clue is on my soul seed. Or rather that three that were born in my soul. The Dryad Vey planted my soul in the Darkness of my first soul, the Fallen Source. Then, it expands and grows its trunk in my mortal soul, and finally, it reaches and absorbs light in my Ancient Source. The arrangent is perfect. And I realized that perhaps when the Goddess Veiyos planted these Yggdrasil planets, she followed this sa principle. The Nether Regions is the darkness of the earth. It cannot survive without it, just as how trees and plants cannot survive if not rooted in darkness."
Listrel was shocked at these words.
"It's actually funny. The Olethros and the Endoxos waged war against each other. But the truth is your two races actually exists to support each other."
"So the lies of Endoxos that they were the kings of the Planesworld was a lie." Lea chuckled.
Listrel frowned.
"The lie affected both of you. You desired to take control of the Lowlands to the High Lands, but doing so would have brought great damage to the tree after a long ti. It's necessary for the Lowlands and the Midlands to be out of the darkness. There is a balance that has to be observed! The light cannot exists without the darkness, but should the darkness spread on the upper levels of the tree, it would even bring more harm! Think about it: what happens if you bury a tree to its trunk?"
"It dies?" chiel guessed.
"Yes. So trees can survive, but this Planesworld is a tree that probably can't. I know this because the Dryad designed the soul Seed to have the trunk live in my mortal soul! The World Wood Tree is nad that way because it follows the very design of the Yggdrasil. And so, if you bury this tree in darkness, it will rot."
Lea's expression turned ugly.
"Then what exactly is her purpose? She is not a soil of the darkness! The soil where the Planesworld is planted is a dark planet by itself. And these Grendelors are not the source of that darkness! Are they? Were they borne out of the darkness of that planet?"
"No. They are not the darkness. I'm sure that the Goddess planted the Yggdrasil on a dark planet, as you said. Her power isn't there. It's sothing else. Just as you believed to be strong in the light, so did she believe to be strong in darkness. What else does a tree need aside from soil and sun?"
"Water!" Lea and chiel exclaid together.
"That's correct. The Dark Abyss is your heritage. The darkness of the water was ant to add moisture to the soil. You are the water that Veiyos used to nourish this tree. You already have started to find the source. So this ans that you, your very existence, brought back the rain!"
"So my power is not darkness? Like Listrel, I was only raised as a princess in the land and took in the source of power around us."
"Yes. The Olethros was the ruler of this world. But so that the plans of End may work, he sent his agents in. Agents of Destiny who manipulated the ways of this world and even caused a war!"
"The Eldrich!"
"Yes! They corrupted the past and even sohow took command of the Nether Worlds. But they were defeated and lost against the High Lands, and the ownership returned back to your families. You two have to study and ditate on this. I now told you of your heritage to prod you towards the direction. One is a daughter of Earth and the other of Water. Harness and channel your power! Listrel, try to create life on your earth. Lea, you do not control water. You are it. Find a way to channel that! Focus the power and give birth to a Core just like I did!"
"Create a Core?"
"Yes. The Cores implanted on you are that of Darkness and that of Light, correct?"
"That is correct. Our fathers caught beasts of pure darkness and implanted these in our bodies. Nurous Paths of Creation improved these cores. Alchemy, Energy Conversion Circles, and so on..." Listrel answered.
"The truth is, you could do the sa. Your advantage is the things planted into you by the World Wood Tree! Use it to build a Core of your own making! A Core that is yours!"
"Understood!" Lea quickly charged out of the mountain as she was excited to learn about her heritage.
Listrel quickly followed, and even before the Brimstone beasts arrived at the cliff, the two had already made battles and began to fight and experint. But this ti, there was a difference in the way they fought.
"They seed to be rather excited in fighting." chiel laughed.
"The two now believe. I used a lot of my Heretic talking skills when I spoke with them. Like the Emberdons, they now believe that this power is truly theirs. They lived their lives thinking they were sothing else, but now, they are searching to harness that power."
"But can they create Elental Cores?"
"If it was before, then no. But just as how you and I managed to create Cores with the seeds planted, they too can build it."
"I'm a little envious. As led by Fate, my alliance with you is only through the Blood Calamity." chiel sighed.
"Actually, that's not true." Kyros smiled.
"What? It isn't?"
"I never told you this because of the Blood Calamity. She might use this against you. But now, the soul of the Blood Calamity has rged with you and is a separate entity. She can no longer go back to her main soul. And now that you are freed from that influence, I can now tell you your legacy."
chiel was stunned as she heard those words. For a long ti, she struggled to understand her past. And while she had heard of hints about it, she hoped that Kyros would clarify everything. And it turns out it was only kept from her because of the Blood Calamity!
"chiel... You probably have made guesses about our relationship. The hints are around you anyway. Calaminus, the Ti God. This world is a place abandoned as it is considered a false tiline. The power of Calaminus to change ti..."
"Yes. I know that you are soone that Calaminus must have chosen and went back in ti with. With the Path of Foresight, I can tell that Fate had to alter ti itself to hide Mysterion."
"Correct. I was a warrior who died in this tiline in my past life. All my powers were sealed up, and I had to die and cultivate once more to reveal the hidden Mysterion. In that past, you were also there. We first t through the Steele Family. I was adopted by the Steele and t you. Like in what you experienced, your family, the Swordcrest family, were killed. We were together for a ti until Destiny used the war that we are now experiencing and the return of the Eldrich races to kill . After that, everyone in the Steele family died." Kyros explained.
"So that's why you treat them as your family..." chiel had noticed how Kyros treated the Steele. It was mysterious as she had learned that it hadn't even been years since they knew each other! And yet, Kyros's respect and protectiveness towards them were high.
"Yes. They put with a lot. My parents lived painfully sad lives. Now, they don't have that future. It's full of storms, but they aren't suffering anymore and are fighting joyfully! But you were their slave as well in that tiline. You served them and even served . Even though I was wild and crazy, you stuck with . But when the Steele family was massacred, I lost track of you. The next ti I saw you, you were Vampire Empress!"
"An Empress?" chiel was stunned. She knew of the ranks of the Vampires and the categories of the impure and pure line. Vampire Empress was a pure bloodline, and she could not beco one by being turned by another Vampire. She could only be one if she were born by a pure Vampire Ancient!
"How could I have been an Empress?" chiel frowned.
"Exactly. But I believe your heritage is not an Empress, but you are a Vampire Ancient. My Coven all have that potential because I turned them. The Fanged Fallen is their heritage. But as for you, I don't know what your true Fallen Heritage is. You have mixed with the Fanged and the Charm. This makes it slightly even more difficult since you naturally rely on those powers. But within you is another Corruption!"
"What is it, Lord Kyros?" chiel was amazed and quickly asked.
But against all forms of expectations, Kyros shrugged.
"I have no idea." Kyros shrugged in defeat.
