Chapter 242 Eva's Story Eva looked down, and her voice was low, but he could hear every word she spoke, "I am not the same person I was, even saying I have nothing relating to my previous self is an understatement, yet I still have a brief recollection of that time. I know I had a father once, and I betrayed someone important, and for that sin I was tortured me for countless eternities. That's all I can remember, before falling into a Darkness that would never end, I was to be locked inside that place, and everything of me was to be stripped away, I was to languish in Oblivion until the end of time and beyond that end. I think I died countless times inside the Darkness. I am nothing but a copy of a copy of another endless more copies, doomed to watch everything of me fade into nonexistence, until you came for me. My first memory is of your warm hand drawing me away from the Darkness, Creator. I seized your hand and I would rather not let go, and worshiping your light became my purpose. I will not falter, not until everything is over, for better or worse." Rowan's voice was low, almost like the hissing of a serpent,"Do you have any idea who did that to you?" Eva smiled at him,"No, but I suspect the shadow is trying to tell me of it. It should be a part of myself that has been lost under the endless wave of darkness." Rowan sighed, "we will find who did this to you, and they shall pay for it. You are now one with me, Eva, and so you should call me by my name from now on." "I'm not… worthy Creator." Rowan rolled his eyes, he knew he heard her cursing him a while back, "It's an order then." Eva smiled, "Yes… Rowan." "Let's go, we have work to do." ? Rowan had many reasons for his journey to the moon, and one among them was because he wanted to determine how much energy was spent to travel using Astrolabe. He began experimenting with the consumption of power using different scenarios. First he fast traveled down to the planet and back to the moon, and he began moving random items between the two places, including mountains, forests, and living creatures. He discovered that during his experiments he could use both his bodily essence and Aether, and the amount of energy consumed by them was different when he moved different things. Aether was consumed more when moving living creatures but less when moving non-living entities and vice versa, for his bodily essence. He consumed less essence when moving living creatures and more essence when moving non-living entities. The distance between the moons and the planet Jarkarr was 450,560 km, and the fast travel function of his Astrolabe crossed that distance in what Rowan could determine was instantaneous. If he equated the amount of energy in his body to be at 100,000 units, then he had spent 700 units moving himself through that distance, and even lesser energy moving a mountain. After traveling using both Aether and Essence he determined that he could only choose one and could only switch when he arrived at the destination and not midway, now he had to determine how far he could go before running out of energy, and he had many targets before him, logically he should be leaving Jarkarr, but that would be disastrous towards his plans, what he needed to start his fight was here on this planet, and he has to know if there was any way to block the Fast Travel function of his Astrolabe. Inside his Palace of Ice, on the circular dais of the Astrolabe was a lifelike rendition of Jarkarr and it three moons, and with each planets, he visits he would have their representation built inside the Astrolabe, and it would serve as a celestial map of the universe. Rowan's plan was to collect a galactic map from the Covenant but with the current state of the Origin Treasure, it would take at least a week before it had recovered enough of itself to be useful once more. So before that, he would be journeying through the void away from the Empire in order to find an incoming guest. Technically, not him, but his messenger, he would be creating another Angel to do his will. All these were an elaborate series of plans he had begun placing together the moment he returned from the future. Rowan looked around and conjured his throne. The moon was still aflame, and he left it that way. The fiery nature of Dorian's Aether would shield his own, and he finally reviewed all he had seen in the brief moment his Empyrean sense came in contact with the blood of this world. Rowan knew little about the gods. But he knew the basis for their great powers had something to do with their Divine Kingdoms. From what he knew, the Divine Kingdom of a god was concealed in a mysterious location and could only be accessed by the god, this feature was shared by the Territories of Dominators. So you could imagine Rowan's surprise when he located the Divine kingdom of a god inside the planet. He learned about the unique nature of his Ouroboros Serpent as world enders and the conspiracy ongoing inside the planet. It was easy to forget that the empire was at war with two other more powerful civilizations, and although the war may not be too flashy outside Trion, there were many undercurrents happening all around the planets within the Empire. The Empire consisted of a lot of planets, and after the main battle of Trion was won by the God King, the expansion of their domain never stopped, and they branched out into other planets around the world of Trion. As a Major World, Trion was that focal point for many Minor Worlds to converge on, almost similar to how a sun keeps an entourage of planets around itself due to its intense gravity. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢 There was important information however that Rowan had disregarded at first. Of all the Minor Worlds surrounding Trion, not all of them have been conquered. He had a pool of planets outside the Empire control, and these could serve as worlds for him to seed!
