The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1836

Chapter 1836: The Secrets of The Primordial Beasts (final)

When Rowan was inside Doomstar, he had a vision of the past drawn from the Memory of the Eye of Time, where three Primordials had caught the Primordial Beast, Torch Dragon, and they were roasting it on a spit over an open fire.

The three Primordials were Primordial Demon, Primordial Light, and Primordial Time, and the forms they took were strange. The three had all taken the shape of men, but Primordial Demon had a face with a thousand eyes, Primordial Light had one eye, while Primordial Time had six eyes.

He could not be sure that this was precisely what happened or if all the details he had seen were correct; he was still a mortal then, and his sight could not be compared to what it was now, but that was not the vital detail he took from the eerie vision.

During the process of roasting this beast, Primordial Demon had announced with great fanfare,

“Here lies the first of the Primordial Beast, Torch Dragon. Your arrogance has given us sight.”

There were many truths that could be taken from these short phrases, but what drew more of Rowan’s attention at this point was the responses that the Torch Dragon had given to the Primordials when his head was being passed across the three of them.

To Primordial Demon, the dragon had said, “Demon, you have killed my brothers and stolen my eyes. From this day forth, I lay a curse upon you, that with my eyes you shall gaze upon your destruction, and on that day I shall return to your heart, and I shall feast on it for eternity unending.”

Primordial Demon inside of Reality was dead, and the Torch Dragon had not returned, and so this suggested to Rowan that the memory he had witnessed from Primordial Time did not come from this Reality, but from a much older period than he had first anticipated.

Rowan, at this time, had no idea that other Realities existed outside his own; he was not even aware that his Reality was dead and that she had a name, and so he wrongfully believed that the vision he had seen was of this Reality’s past.

This suggested to Rowan that the history behind the Primordials and the Beasts extended farther than he had once given credit, and it was necessary for him to look back at this vision with new eyes.

To Primordial Light, the dragon had said a simple sentence, “Light, you have betrayed me.”

And Primordial Light had replied, “It was nothing personal, I just needed to know what it would take to kill creatures at our level. To gain an insight like that is… invaluable. For the greater good, it needs to happen. I will not let it go to waste.”

Only now does Rowan realize how strange the reply Primordial Light gave to the Torch Dragon was. It was almost as if the Primordials in this memory had not begun their reign of terror over all of existence, almost as if the Primordial Beasts were the first ninth-dimensional entities they had killed.
