The shoreline was quiet, but not for too long as a low hum began.
The Early Veiled Shore shimmered with a newborn tension. The air was impossibly crisp, layered with the weavings of possibility.
She thought of all that could have been!
An Early Creature had actually come to their Folds!
"I will get retribution with all my existence on your behalf. They made a mistake I warned them of. One they cannot comprehend. And if they knew... if they understood even a fraction of what you were...ah!"
The instant the command left his lips....
All watched.
Its heavy bellow echoed.
And now, her eyes were different.
"I greet Sir Early Creature for the first time truly. I-"
She did.
And yet...
HUUM!
Not the eyes of Moiraine- the stoic, powerful, enigmatic Paradox of the Foldless Ones.
It all made sense!
"Stop."
The ability to wield more than one Living Existential Authority.
Noah’s voice was level and clear.
Her eyes grew solemn.
Oh!
Early! Creature!
Now it made sense.
She lowered her gaze again.
"In the Earliest Folds, it was from your kind, born of the Blood of the Creature, that many types of Living Existences came into bloom. To be here before you... is an honor I cannot desecrate." fr\(e)ew(e)b.(n)o (v)(e)l.com
Loss had its place in existence.
|Authority Type: Living Water.|
And even more he could reply...
Correct the population.
Henry, gazing towards his father with wide eyes.
|Refined Early Living Existential Glyph: Water (1).|
...!
The Early Sacred Waters of the Budding Shore trembled.
Sometimes, he thought, loss was the only way to build again. Not as you were before. But as something entirely new.
A moment later, from the heart of the glow, forms emerged.
He watched the sky ripple above them as the Sea trembled.
"Kill them."
From broken Towers.
But now?
|A Wave of Early Living Marine Lifeforms have risen to rectify the population.|
"Take care of the marine lifeforms that will keep coming."
And in her eyes, something changed.
|Your Complexity and Purity are rising rapidly.|
Early Living Marine Lifeforms!
It opened the door.
These eyes of a being with deep reverence and fear of the identity of an Early Creature and what they represented.
|You have arrived in the Early Veiled Shore of a consecrated Early Creature.|
Before, they looked at him with purpose. Not compassion. Not control. Just purpose. She saw him as something valuable. As a possibility for the Loom, for eventually attaining her goal of standing before THE Living Paradox.
But now...
He didn’t even look again.
Further back- Ruination, shimmering with ruinous glory. The Infiniverse, silent and elegant. Liora, cradling a forged glass bucket she had finished forging!
He needed understanding.
Reverence.
He didn’t flinch.
The first ten- glorious and translucent, carried the Basic Early Living Existential Glyph of Water etched into their flesh. Their scales shimmered with aquatic luster, their bodies sleek and precise.
His aura. His blood. That intoxicating pull beneath his skin.
Its body was serpentine eel, endless, like a ribbon of liquid diamond. Upon its head burned the Refined Early Living Existential Glyph of Water, far more intricate than the others. Six additional Basic Glyphs pulsed along its body.
The golden flames crackled around her shoulders.
He sighed- long and heavy, letting the breath pull through his chest.
Noah stared at them.
The air did not shift.
It tore the ceiling.
The aura of a terrifying Foldless One erupted in resonance.
|Basic Glyphs: Water (6).|
This meant...! This meant...!
Truly. In someone far more powerful than him, he saw reverence and fear!
He had gained something- Moiraine.
Their intent was clear.
He felt loss.
It created space.
The flames behind her surged as her tone tightened.
Moiraine’s steps were slow as she dropped to one knee. Her head bowed.
To the Living Paradoxes!
His hand lifted lightly in the air.
He looked at the undulating waves beyond, where more Lifeforms stirred.
Her eyes widened.
Behind him, the others turned at the shift in tone.
Then, she lowered herself further.
A minute ago, the appearance of a single one would have forced retreat. A few minutes more, and they’d have devastated everything here.
He was a creature that could control Paradox!
The restoration of her lower body didn’t shake her.
Eleven.
What a colossal fuck up that was.
Moiraine looked up at him slowly.
And they actually made an enemy out of him!
And they were different now.
She raised her face slightly.
Her voice came quiet, but sure.
Early Creature. Early Veiled Shore!
Amelia Osmont and Adelaide.
From stolen blood.
It emerged last, floating without ripples, its gaze level.
Yet still, she walked forward.
And even more than that, the words that proceeded to flash right before her eyes!
But not with confusion. Not even with awe. free we\bnove(l).com
BOOM.
He didn’t want that.
"ROAAAR!"
He told her.
But the eleventh...
It rose like a spear of inevitability.
|Name: Virellith, the Abyssal Spring Monarch.|
Moiraine remained where she was.
The incoming Marine Lifeforms paused in their advance as their Existence felt fear!
