Ren lowered his gaze, voice quiet but firm. "Okay, I understand but how can I do it? I am not a great mage, not like ti and space mage. How am I supposed to open and find sothing that have not any clue? Sothing that shift it's position."
Veylan's lips curved into a faint smile. "Do you rember Arkenhall? When they collected a sample of your power?"
Ren's brow furrowed. "Yes."
"We studied it," Veylan said slowly. "And we found sothing. Your energy patterns are similar to our great ti and space mage. But there is lot of difference… you both have different kind of powers. Only this one thing we found similar in your entire powers. Tell , when you use your power and everything around you is devoured, do you know where it goes?"
Ren shook his head. "No. It just vanishes."
"Nothing vanishes," Veylan replied. "You know the law of the universe energy cannot be created, and it cannot be destroyed. It only changes form, or moves. So when your power devours, it does not erase. It transfers. Most likely into another dinsion."
Ren's eyes widened slightly.
"That is why you can succeed where my soldiers failed," Veylan said. "Machines can detect mana fluctuations, soldiers can read ancient maps, but only you can follow the trail of energy itself. If you train, if you sharpen this gift, you will be able to sense the dinsions directly… and open them like our great mage."
Lark leaned forward, frowning slightly. "Okay, he can do that. But in my mind one question also raise. If that tribe really transferred into another dinsion, then why would they even do it? We can't achieve such a thing now, even with all our knowledge. Hoe an ancient tribe would succeed where we fail?"
Veylan opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Kairn stepped in and bowed. "My lord, please take so rest. Allow to explain this part."
Veylan gave him a tired nod, and Kairn turned back to Ren and Lark.
"According to the ancient texts we've gathered," Kairn began, his voice steady, "the tribe was not experinting for power or curiosity. They were forced. Records describe a catastrophe, so say about great disease that corrupted mana itself, So say that ti great war happened, others say punishnt from the heavens. Whatever it was, their world was collapsing around them. They believed the only way to survive was to leave this plane entirely."
Ren frowned. "And they succeeded?"
Kairn inclined his head. "It is written that they discovered thods long lost to us. They had access to natural mana convergences far stronger than anything we know today, and so claim they had artifacts that do not exist in this age. Their thod was crude, costly, and dangerous, but it allowed them to tear a passage into another dinsion and take their people through."
Lark crossed his arms. "Then why can't we replicate it now?"
"Because those convergences no longer exist," Kairn said calmly. "The flow of mana changed after the first surge a century ago. The patterns are gone, the artifacts lost. What remains are fragnts of records and fading traces. That is why we fail where they succeeded. We succeed only to make a small dinsional pockets. We are not powerful enough now to create or open a massive dinsions."
He glanced toward Veylan, then added softly, "And that is why we look to you, Ren. The scriptures hint that only soone whose powers touch both ti and space can sense the remnants of those passages. Without you, the trail is invisible."
Silence filled the chamber. Both Ren and Lark absorbed his words.
"So according to that, I have space powers. But what about ti? I don't have it," Ren asked.
Kairn gave a faint smile. "Do not worry. We have samples from the Great Mage's power. With careful work, we can replicate it to match your abilities. Elara also held space powers, though hers were tied to creation. She and the Great Mage aided us greatly in the past. Without them, even the dinsional pockets we use now would never have been possible."
"But understand this clearly our goal is not to create a new dinsion. It is to break one. To open the path into theirs. At your current strength, even if we consider the power you may soon gain, you will only be capable of forcing open a small door. You will not yet be able to destroy an entire dinsion. Also we have one information too. According to current study we found that points are shifted in every 10 years. Bcz one points energy decrease slowly slowly and eventually it will close. So you have 10 years to find that. You have to find it in every corner of the world."
"Okay, I understand. You want to find these points across the world. But they're at the atomic level. They could appear anywhere," Ren said.
"Yes, you are correct," Kairn replied. "But we upgraded this device to work with your powers. All you need to do is channel your energy into it. The machine will then convert your power into a new type of wave, tuned specifically to scan for those fluctuations. We already programd it to detect dinsional cracks only. With the aid of the Great Mage's power, it can even sense them at the atomic level.
That is why it was built for you alone. Only space powers can detect these fractures, and the machine amplifies your reach. The stronger your powers, the further the scan spreads. It will cover entire plane. Sky and surface also. If underground cave present than it will scan their too. So in this journey you have to be more strong and expand your range and powers too. So tell , what is your current range?"
"Ten kiloters."
Kairn nodded. "Hmm... it's low. But don't worry, we will try to invent to expand your range or different way to open that dinsion. Anyways once you release your energy, the machine will absorb it and extend its sweep over that entire area. So tell you will go to this journey or not?"
After his words, silence spread. Ren thought about what he had to do? Lark was amazed. Veylan and Kairn looked towards Ren and waiting for his answer.
After a long pause, Lark let out a breath and rubbed the back of his neck. "I… might have gone too far. Asking so many direct questions in front of you, Sir Veylan… it was rude of ."
Ren gave a faint nod. "I should apologize as well. You've given us more than answers today."
Veylan, still leaning back, gave them both a tired but amused smile. "Curiosity is no insult. A man who does not question the world will never change it. You asked because you must. For that, there is no need to apologize. But rember this....what you've learned here is not for anyone else. It is knowledge guarded by the highest seal of this house. Speak of it, and you endanger not only yourselves, but everyone tied to you. Do you understand?"
Both Ren and Lark exchanged a glance before nodding in unison.
Veylan leaned back again, closing his eyes. "Good. Then what you decide Ren?"
