The Primordial Record

Chapter 1446 The Verge of Memory

Rowan's rapidly beating heart went still, it was almost as if it had stopped beating, reality around him seemed to fuzz before it settled and Seed frowned, his eyes piercing through space, looking for any outside interference and he could not find anything, and he stroked his jaw with a curious glint in his eyes, did he nearly break the final barrier in the heart of this stubborn grandson of his?

Inside Rowan's head was nothing but the voice of Maeve, he had repeated her words a million times over as if he was torturing his mind with the sound of her voice, he knew that he had almost unleashed his Origin bloodline upon Seed and Elura, nearly damning the consequences, but at the last second he held himself back,

"They all think they know me.... They all think that I'm a Breaker, and of my kind, they have seen a thousand times before...'

His gaze held the figure of his dying maid, seeing her in her final moments and as she was when she was a Nymph with butterfly wings running by his side, her duty had been one that was difficult, but she had never shirked from it, never broke her promise to his mother, and in the end Maeve had gone beyond the gates of death to stand by his side, protecting him with her body until she was not able to do so anymore. It did not matter that he was flawed, all that mattered was her duty to her Lord, a duty that had transcended love.

Countless memories of her life streamed into his mind, more potent than any immortal's mind could ever bear, and Rowan knew that at this instant, he had already known the path he was going to follow.
