The Eye of Ti mumbled, "Why am I here? What did you do to ?"
"? Nothing..." Rowan laughed, "My main body on the other hand was faced with a dilemma when it ca to you. You see he had many troubles in his mind, so many troubles that you would not believe, no, I think more than anyone else, you should understand his mindset and the fear inside them. He is playing the ga of dominion not against immortals or gods, but against the beings who created immortals and gods, the apex of creation itself that exceeds creation, and he wants to win against them... can you believe that? He did not just want the fight, he also wanted to triumph over the Primordials and to do that, he needs you to break!"
Imnse power radiated from the Eye of Ti, a power that would make immortals go insane with fear, "How dare you? What arrogance would make you think, you can break ?"
Rowan was silent and he gestured at the sky, "I would keep your voice down if I were you, do you want to hear the truth or do you want it to end quickly? Pointing upwards, "he does not have the patience for that sort of thing."
The emanation of power from the Eye of Ti died down and Rowan nodded, "I don't think he can break you... at least, that was what I thought before, but as I see now, he has already succeeded. Look at you. Your invincible shell has been broken by your own hand as you sought to devour , a re Reflection. So tell where is the arrogance? He played you like a fiddle."
The Eye of Ti sneered, "So, you are here to gloat?"
"A little bit," Rowan smiled, "but mostly I just wanted to talk."
"Talk? About what?"
"Anything, everything... I am extrely young by the ti scale of reality, nothing but an infant. I have been alive for a million years, yet I was only awake for a fraction of that ti. I am not like my main body which has been awake and learning all this while, and so I am still naturally curious about everything you can tell ?"
The Eye of Ti looked at him curiously,
"Why would you like to know sothing like that? If you are a Reflection, everything of you would soon be swallowed by your main body. There is no reason to learn anything because nothing you earn is yours."
Rowan shook his head, "You are right and also wrong, I am going back to beco part of him once again, true, but in the ti I am , I still have my individuality and I want to know about the Eye of Ti, separate from everything that is known about you, this is my way, to acknowledge my enemy... to honor them, it is the thing that makes unique, different from him, aside my soul."
"Why would I want honor from the dead? I am here to plunder the fruit that is rightfully mine, not here your inane chatter about honor."
"Ah, for a mont I have forgotten who you are," Rowan shook his head sorrowfully, "I guess my muse would go unanswered."
The Eye of Ti suddenly jerked as if sothing had crawled across its spine and it looked upward, but there was no longer a sky, but a massive vortex that filled the entire sky, and erging from this vortex was a wide blue road.
There was a thump, and its body shivered, it could not help it, then another thump, and another, almost as if he was hearing the sound of a massive footstep.
The sound kept getting louder, each step shaking the entire reality around them, and to keep it sitting, the Eye had to hold on to the chair, cursing this feeble body that it had been granted inside this place.
When it seed as if the sound of the footstep would crush the body he was wearing, it stopped and the sudden silence was incredibly heavy, and the Eye of Ti found itself holding its breath for what seed like forever, and when the tension seed so high that the air itself could be sliced with a knife, two golden suns appeared within the vortex.
The space around them imitated the scene from the beginning of creation, and so it was ridiculously vast, and the vortex had filled up the entire sky, and yet these two golden suns that shone through the vortex were still so massive that their size could never be found in a material universe but was sothing extra-dinsional.
Two waves passed through the two suns, they first went horizontally and then vertically, and the Eye of Ti frowned in confusion, the sa thing happened again and the Eye of Ti froze in place as a realization swept past it.
Looking back at Rowan, it found that this Reflection seed almost entranced by the sight, and it could not bla him, when it also realized that it was not looking at two supermassive golden suns, but eyes!
The waves that he thought were passing through the suns was a result of the eyes blinking, like a massive reptile with two eyelids, which should not be far from the truth.
The two suns ca closer and the shade of gold over the eyes vanished, to be replaced by every color in creation. Like two orbs reflecting reality, the beauty in these eyes had transcended reason, and the Eye of Ti was stuck in place for a while, entranced by these two supre orbs that it failed to realize that a massive face had poked through the vortex and was looking at it.
A face stretched to such a size that was as massive as a universe should be a thing of horror, and it was, but the beauty of this face was incredible, nothing a mortal or weaker immortal would gaze at without going mad.
Flowing across the face that glowed and faded in and out like a pulse were countless runes. They erged from the face and sank back inside, and even the Eye could not recognize what these runes were, which ant only one thing for a being like it. It ant that these runes were entirely new and unknown.
The Eye of Ti whispered, "What are you?"
The mouth of the massive head overhead began to open and a feeling of incredible danger filled the mind of the Eye of Ti and it knew it could no longer wait, grinning at the massive face overhead, it vanished with a burst of laughter, yet there was this crazy premonition in its heart that told it that it had been allowed to leave because Rowan believed there was no where
it could run.
Inside the space, the massive eyes of Rowan turned to his Reflection and he smiled, and the Reflection felt peace, and it smiled back at his main body. The face of Rowan entered into the vortex once more and the vortex for a while vanished and the starry sky returned.
The Reflection looked up with shock and then he laughed, "Thank you. All this ti I was in a dream... I was a dream, and it is natural for a dream to end, but still, I want to see the stars for as long as I can. Is this selfish of ?"
A voice that could silence an epoch rumbled,
"No."
When the Reflection perished, he was smiling.
