Chapter 663 (1/2)

Book 6, Chapter 55 – Mysterious Power

Morning was in full swing The sky was bright and calm

Selene sat before a table chock full of docu by and walked to thePulling open the shades, she looked out over Skycloud

Bright low upon Selene's face It was her third day of continuous work and the exhaustion was starting to set in But her mental acuity wasn't at all affected

She dropped her head, looking at the latest intelligence report When she lifted her eyes there was a hint of mirth in them “Cloudhawk… he never ceases to surprisereport of the wastelands It contained a lot of what the Green Alliance had been up to since the battle at Fallowo In the last sixty days Cloudhawk hadthe construction of a wasteland capitol

Judging by the reports, this new city's population had already surpassed aevery day It was hard to believe The wastes were such a barren and unforgiving place How could one city support so many citizens?

The report sounded too fantastical to take seriously, but Cloudhawk hadthe impossible a reality As she continued to read the report, this was proven by infors Cloudhawk had invented

The first was a structure capable of creating fresh, clean water out of nowhere They were calling it a Miracle Tower His next acco that transformed sand into arable soil That one was called the Green Sword

Where there was a Miracle Tower people never needed to fret over a lack of water Where the Green Sas placed the land cah the wastes, directly benefiting millions of lives It also transformed the way they looked at demonhunters and relics Of note was that they did not call theer

Cloudhaas the successor to the De Wolfblade and Abaddon – leaders of the wastes – were de to call the mentally awakened demonhunters was inappropriate

The wastelands had hts, Godslayers and so forth Now that the Green Alliance was established and in full control, they all cale name: Awakened

Awakened were the wastelands most prized resource

Miracle Towers and Green Swords required Awakened to use Psychic power is what galvanized them, so what this meant was that Awakened were necessary to transforing the wastelands… Selene felt a faint stirring in her heart

Cloudhawk's progress was slow but the ih his efforts the boundless deserts o back to the way it had been before the Great War At least his vision was giving the downtrodden wastelanders hope

He was giving his all to pursue his dream How could Selene's pride allow her to fall behind? Her love for Skycloud ran deep and she illing to do whatever was in her power to protect it Perhaps with time the barriers between her world and Cloudhawk's could be swept away, and a single unified people would ee

To this end, Selene was more fervent and driven than Arcturus had been It was all worth the effort, too Skycloud was stable, peace and order had been restored Little by little, her reputation with the people was i their best to have a vision become a reality Perhaps it really was possible for the two of thee the world!

After her five et back to work She returned to the table and opened a report, but before she could read a word she felt a wracking spas headache nearly blinded her, a spiritual pain that bore down to her soul

Gods daain!

The pain transcended all description It completely dominated her senses

It came in waves, ever since she accepted the inheritance from the Temple With every wave herpain that greorse each tio

This one was particularly intense Why? What was happening to her?

The pain lasted forHer eyes opened, revealing silver cornea – like a glorious ht sky [1]

Gradually the painin the face of an absolute indifference – almost detachment or contempt

She looked around The pain had caused her to fall from the chair so she picked herself up off the floor All at once she seeht from her eyes that made her seem all the more unnatural

Selene looked down at the table and plucked up a report at randoave it a cursory glance then tossed the paper to the side

“Self-righteous mortal”
