His single pillar of consciousness linked to Andar's body suddenly felt free, as if he had been carrying around a thousand-pound weight.
This single consciousness pillar felt so clean and unencumbered, that Rowan almost swooned with joy, he would have brought the rest of his Consciousness pillars over for this cleansing but that represented one of his greatest secrets.
The effect of this cleansing was drastic, as this Single Consciousness pillar was now three times as powerful as before. The pillar that this consciousness stemmed from had also changed. It was no longer filled with the images of moving serpents, now only the face of Rowan was on it.
'Is this the true state of my Consciousness Pillars?'
Rowan's main body frowned as he waited for the battle that was coming, 'How come he was not aware of this burden he was carrying?'
The worrying thing was that these Aura appeared so thick, but this was just on one of his consciousness pillars, what would it be like on his main body? Which method did this creature use to extract them from his consciousness? What does he mean by Traveler?
His thought leaked through into Andar's face, of course, this was a conscious decision made by Rowan.
The Chaos Door sighed after seeing the expression on the young boy's face, "Sit down young Traveler, I can see you are a newborn and your confusion is so loud, I can hear its screams on the other end of the universe."
A formless force pushed Rowan until he was sitting down, the mouth of the boy was chewing something with gusto, probably the Aura he just drained from Rowan but his face was squeezed together like it was eating vile excrement.
"Bah, what sort of nasty creature did you entangle yourself with?"
'You have no idea.' Rowan thought.
Not waiting for an answer the Chaos Door continued to speak, "Ahem, I know you must be confused about how I'm able to see the real you inside the body of this child. Of course, I can't literally see your real form unless you show me, which would be a stupid action from one that is so young, but I am beginning to ramble, hahaha, don't blame me, it has been a while since I have talked with a fellow Traveler."
Rowan was quiet and allowed the creature to ramble, every word he spoke, holding countless meanings to his plentiful consciousness which had begun focusing on the words of this Entity and analyzing every statement he made.
"Well, I have already known this truth since the first time I saw you at the CTB. Okay, that's not entirely true, I was not too sure when I saw you, parts of our unique nature make detecting one of our kind very difficult, even for us, hahaha, can you imagine the irony?"
Rowan wanted to speak, but he was shushed by the door, "Be quiet young one, the words of an elder are heavier than stone, especially to one that has strayed so far without guidance."
Rowan growled, "Who are you?" Rowan's patience was infinite, and his mind was calm, but the face he showed to the world was different from his thoughts, there was no need for anyone to know how dangerous he was until he wanted them to.
This Entity felt familiar to him, and it did not take long to trace that familiarity back to his Ouroboros Bloodline, and in that manner understood that this matter was related to Chaos.
Rowan had two bloodlines, and his second helped with maintaining his clarity of thoughts. If he was a young Empyrean of Chaos Blood without his second bloodline, he would be arrogant and reckless.
The Chaos Door believed he was a young chick, it would be harmful to dissuade him of that notion. So he decided to play the part of a powerful, but hot-headed young fool.
The door sneered, "I am trying to help you, silly Traveler, according to the treaty signed by our kind, it is forbidden for two Travelers to conduct business in the same universe, but I can see you have laid no Gates on this Universe, and signed no deals with its powers, so I will go easy on you."
Rowan began to struggle to break the invisible bond holding him and he replied with a hint of impatience in his tone, "This Traveler you call me, what is it? Also, what did you collect from my body?" Rowan asked, he discovered since his body had been pressed down by a formless force, that he could not move a single inch no matter the force he exerted.
"Bah, young Travelers, always in a haste, time for you has just been a short interlude, if only you understood the sheer enormity of the time you have left with the gifts of our Father inside you. If you knew, you would fall into despair, yet Is it not odd that when your death approaches, you begin to wish for more time, that is when he strikes you see… that Old Dragon!"
Rowan was beginning to think that this guy was not the best individual to be demanding answers from, how old was this door anyway? I need to direct this conversation or there will be no meaningful progress.
Rowan gritted his teeth in annoyance, his mouth was the only part allowed to move while playing his part as a chaotic Empyrean perfectly, it was as if he had just discovered that this Chaos Door tends to ramble if left to his own devices.
"Patience young Traveler, I shall satisfy your curiosity. In this universe and many others I am called the CHAOS DOOR, I've always hated that name, to me it signified a root I cannot escape, but amongst family, we use our real names. My name is Labaletai, and I am a child of the Primordial, Chaos. So are you. That makes you my sibling, and for discovering one so young as you are, I'm responsible for guiding you…. For a price of course. Hehe"
