The Citadel was the most important point in every region. It is the center of power and where the only way to reach the higher regions.
After one week of travel, Elijah could finally see the citadel's figure from above. It was not the biggest city he had see, even Polaris was bigger that the citadel, but using his spiritual force to sense the area, he realized that the outline of the city was quite organized. everything in the citadel was made using the same material and all of it together seemed to form the arrangement of a huge runic formation divided into five parts.
While in the sky, Elijah saw that Shael was talking with someone using a device on her left wrist, after a few moments she put down her hand and turned her gaze to him, saying: "We arrived, I just received the orders to take you to your accommodations."
Taking Elijah to a small building, Elijah was startled to see hundreds of people entering the place he thought it could not hold more that six people. Like she read his thoughts, Shael explained: "This is the most expensive Inn in the citadel, each room is located in its own pocket dimension."
Entering the building, the first thing Elijah saw was a elevator in a place with only one floor and receptionist on a desk beside the elevator. Shael went to receptionist who was a middle-aged petite woman who made a happy expression when she saw who was approaching.
"Shael, nice to see you again. I suppose the one by your side is the person the higher ups, told me to reserve a room right?"
"Oh, so they already told you to make the reserve? Good, then just take him to his room."
"Let me see, Elijah Branches, Room: 14066. Right, lord Elijah, you can take the elevator." Said the receptionist before pointing to the elevator.
Only when Elijah entered his room that he realized how good the service was here. He saw a king-sized bed, a huge bathtub, the floor was made of gold and silver and he even saw pictures of his childhood and the one he had on his smartphone around the room. Beside his bed, the was a white button to call o room service.
"Wow, I like this place."He spoke to himself as he explored the room. Then he heard Shadow voice in his mind.
"Elijah, you need to come here. I was trying to awake Cassie's bloodline when something happened."
"What?" He entered the dark world where he saw a huge gray hurricane fly him away, but Shadow appeared by his side, holding him. Looking at Shadow's eyes, it was the first time he saw she was truly worried.
"Master, what is happening?!"
"I don't know! When I was awakening her bloodline in the past six months nothing happen but when my work was nearly finished, another bloodline just as powerful as mine or even more strong clashed with the void bloodline inside her." While they were talking, the hurricane around Cassie grey stronger and stronger.
"I can see! Her other bloodline is from the Eternal Time Clan!" Shadow Shadow screamed as she realized which second bloodline Cassie has, before her eyes showed even more panic. But the panic was quickly suppressed as she gazed at Elijah with shiny eyes: "Boy, the only reason this is happening is because I was trying to awake the Eternal Void lineage without knowing she has another..."
From the way she was talking, he knew she had a plan. "So what do you need to do?"
"We need someone from the Eternal Time lineage." Saying this the light in her eyes grew even more as she gazed at him.
"And where do we find someone like this? I don't think he will just fall from the sky and help us."
"Really? But I think he will." Elijah finally realized that she was looking at him.
"Wait, you are talking about me?"
"Of course, I never saw a member of the eternal time clan. So how could I be sure she has it if not from you having it. I had said before I could sense you had a bloodline close to my clan, but it has taken some time for me to be sure." Turning her eyes to the hurricane, she says. "You need to make her absorb some of your blood."
"Understood." Running towards Cassie, the winds grew more and more powerful to the point he could feel it cutting his skin.
"Tynirit!" Elijah subconsciously cried out as he felt he could no longer advance.
He felt a immense power rise within him as his hair turned silver and his eyes golden.
Silver and golden lightning, covered his entire body like a armor as the Mortal, Spirit and Divine bodies figures could be seen behind him.
Feeling an endless power inside him, he knew that something about this power was incomplete.
From outside, Shadow noticed that this was the spectral form Elijah had before. When he started walking in the Supreme Path, this power was gone and now it came back with much more splendor that ever.
If Elijah could hear Shadow's thoughts he would agree with her, but he could sense that this new form of his was more profound, like the fusion of everything that makes his being.
When Elijah was less than 10 meters away from Cassie, he her entire body being teared by her own blood, but she was not scared, she just looked straight at his eyes, pleading for him to run away.
A Intense rage devoured his mind as he extended his hand at her direction with all his strength.
"Stop!"
His entire body was covered with blood, his muscles were ripped, but his soul reached a even higher realm as the entire dimension seemed to be moved by his strong will, freezing everything around him.
Looking around, he saw that shadow was frozen in mid-air with a worried gaze, the bloodline vortex covering Cassie stopped, everything was frozen before him.
Elijah could feel his body lighter than even as he floated to Cassie's side with a single thought.
From the injuries in his arm, he collected a bottle of his blood and gave it to her, making her drink his blood.
.....
Somewhere on earth there was a cabin in the middle of a forest. A woman with simple facial features, but a beautiful and long golden hair looked after an unconscious figure lying on a bed while outside the hut there was a masked man watching the sunset as he sighed.
"The cycle has begun and the power of Trinity has seen the light for the first time."
