Chapter 17: Titan Lord Primus [2] (1/2)
”I believe you've already figured out where you are. Yes, you are in my personal domain. This mountain was my natural self before I gained sentience and could transform into mortal forms. And this lunar plain you see, is my dominion by right of existence. It could have been a domain but the lunar stones made it a dominion. Laws of creation. Oh, pardon my overlook.”
Realizing they were still standing, the titan lord gestured towards the mats that were in a semi-circle in front of him.
”Please, do sit down.”
After waiting for them to have their seats, he continued.
”From creation, I was born a yellow mountain. No awareness, no mind, no thoughts, and surely, no soul. Just a simple mountain. But during the rapid expansion of the universe, there was so much released cosmic energies with great effect on some natural things. Although not many experienced the effects, but the few that did, received the powering impact of the energies. Billions of years ago, with the passage of time, its effects on me started to manifest. I slowly began to gain awareness, and began to reason. I started asking myself questions. What was I? Where was I? And why was I? Slowly, I began to understand, and gradually, I became a sentient being.”
Stopping temporarily, Primus looked from one face to the other. Registering their devoted attention, he nodded and continued.
”After gaining awareness, I continued to absorb the energy nonstop. Billions of years after gaining sentience, I realized I could transform into a mortal form. This was my immortal attainment. Unlike immortal mortals like yourselves, we titans don't cultivate. We are natural elementals, but we have our own way to eternal life nevertheless. It takes longer time, and it's very difficult, but we do have titan sovereigns who have reached eternity. And we do meditate to gain soul enlightenment. The more the meditation, the more the awareness. The more the awareness, the more the reasoning.”
With furrowed brows, the titan lord stopped and rummaged through some stored information in his memory.
”Many years after the great war, a titan king entered the void looking for the Irolon black star. A powerful black core formed inside the void. Why? Up till now, we still don't know. But one thing we do know is that, there are three kinds of ultimate cores in existence. The [Icaros Red Stone] from our universe , the [Ideria Blue Orb] from chaos and the [Irolon Black Star] from the void. The titan king was looking for the Irolon black star in the void. He was well aware of the dangers inside the void, and he was well prepared.”
The titan lord paused for a second as a sad distant memory came into fore.
”Unfortunately, he came across one entity he couldn't properly phantom. He said it was of pure black energy, but in different forms of manifestation. The battle between the two of them was a deadly one. They fought for a long time, but the titan king couldn't do much damage to the entity. On the verge of destruction, the titan king manages to escape with his soul's avatar leaving his immortal body behind in the void but his soul's avatar was gravely injured during escape. His soul's avatar disintegrated upon entering the universe, but not until he put the information in the memory stone. The Nefrims guarding one of the primordial gates were the one that saw him first, and called for the celestials who were in charge of parading the universe, checking for irregularities.”
A rift appeared in the space beside the titan lord Primus. It was indeed a spatial dimension. They watched as a small golden jar of Dew-Of-Heaven, a soul relaxing and nourishing elixir, and six golden cups flew out of it. Automatically, the elixir was poured into the cups, and all were served without them leaving their positions.
After downing his drink in one gulp, the titan lord continued.
