Mane would have been surprised to find out that she even knew about his masters. Although Mane had promised that he wouldn't inform anyone about their meeting, his masters weren't dumb. The storage orb would be kept in Mane's mind scape- a realm they had established themselves in. Although most of the masters didn't know about her, one of them did. He would be able to smell her aura from the orb. Although she could dull the senses of most, this master was in a mind scape. It was a domain outside her control and only under the authority of the owner- Mane. She couldn't wipe her aura from the orb either, for doing so will tamper with it. So the only option was to let Mane absorb all the knowledge here. That way, he wouldn't have to take the orb with him. After a minute, the struggling boy finally calmed down. The pain that held him prisoner was gone, and all the information had been transferred. He opened his eyes after a while.
"I was right" Ananse stared into the dazed eyes of the boy. He looked disoriented, yet there was a small smile on his face. But it still seemed as though he was digesting the information he had obtained.
"Impossible" Indra had a look of disbelief on his face as he gazed into Mane's eyes. He finally understood what Ananse meant when she said she wanted to confirm something. He finally understood why she wasn't worried. And he also realised that the reason Mane was able to see Ananse, but he couldn't, wasn't because she had clouded his senses. Ananse still had her disguise on. The only reason that the boy was able to see past her so easily was because of his eyes.
Mane's eyes were different from usual. The formerly white sclera was deep blue, like turquoise shells. His iris was red as crimson and his pupil was golden yellow; its color rivalling that of the sun itself.
"True Eyes" Ananse mumbled silently. Mane's eyes were legendary. It wasn't passed down through one's bloodline, neither was it attained through training. It was inherent- something that you were born with. Ananse had long suspected that the Supreme had eyes like these. She was one who had solved the 7 mysteries that mocked the world. She had learnt a lot from them. From these mysteries she found out a startling secret. This secret wasn't part of the mysteries, yet it was only by understanding the 7 mysteries that one would be able to unravel that secret. It concerned the sixth Supreme. After touring the universe and discovering all there was to discover, Ananse realised something horrifying. The last Supreme, he who came before Mane- the 6th Supreme- lied to the entire universe. He kept a secret to himself, a secret that could shake the world. Yet she understood why he kept that secret. Every era produced a Supreme, and every Supreme produced was stronger than their predecessor. But there was something that most of the Supremes didn't know, with the exception of just two. One of the two was the 6th Supreme. He realised that Supremes were stronger than their predecessors not only because the burden of each successor was greater, but because their bodies needed to be stronger. Why? So that they could inherit the power of their forerunners!
Supremes were capable of inheriting the power of those before them! It was an earth shattering secret that could spell doom for any Supreme if it was discovered. Apart from the 6th and the other Supreme- whom even Ananse didn't know about- the others had no idea. The 6th Supreme was a scholar. He was the strangest of the Supremes. During his time, he actively avoided his role in cleaning up the scum of the universe. His era was the most tumultuous one, yet many gods liked him because of this. He was an eccentric character, but then again, which scholar wasn't?
It was in his numerous travels and countless researches that he had uncovered this secret. And once he did, he spent his meagre lifespan raiding the graves of his ancestors. He transferred their bodies to different locations which were tightly guarded. But he also noticed that the longer a Supreme stayed alive, the lesser power their bodies contained. The Supreme that lived longest, had the smallest amount of energy preserved in his remains. Because of this revelation, he even arranged for his own death, so that his power wouldn't be lost. He did this all for the one who was meant to come after him. The abnormal 6th Supreme killed himself, effectively abandoning his duties so that his power would be preserved in its entirety for his successor.
Ananse didn't know where the 6th's confidence in the 7th Supreme came from. After all, the prophecy of the 7th Supreme's birth was revealed long after the death of the 6th Supreme. Ananse really wanted to know why the 6th Supreme had abandoned the world, causing it fall into chaos, just because of the 7th Supreme. What did the 6th Supreme find out concerning the 7th that had forced him to give up his life?
It was only a few years ago that Ananse had stumbled upon some information left behind by the 6th. There wasn't much written in the texts she found, but one thing did catch her attention- The True Eyes. It was an ability that had been possessed by only three people in all of history. And one of these people was the 1st Supreme. The other was the one known as the Sensor King, a sensor god who was still alive. The last person was Cronos. The 1st Supreme was the weakest of her people, yet she had done the most for the universe. During a time where order was lost and chaos ran rampant, it was the 1st Supreme who brought peace to the cosmos. She was powerful, but her power wasn't enough to accomplish such a feat. She was able to do so because of her True Eyes. Some called them the Eyes of Extermination. But that was inaccurate.
The text she discovered revealed that the 6th Supreme had been working on a way to transfer the eyes of the 1st, to the 7th. She knew he had succeeded because if he hadn't, he wouldn't have taken his life. But the best way to discover the truth was to see it for herself. So when she came here, she still had her disguise on. She had clouded the vision of Indra and Mane, yet the weaker godling could still see through her. She was 80% percent certain then that Mane had these eyes. But they seemed to be in deep slumber. After all, they weren't really his. So she had to wake them up, just to be sure. The best way to do that would be to shake the slumbering prince from its slumber through force. She put an attacking lease in the orb. It was meant to attack Mane's mind. She was certain that the sleeping True Eyes wouldn't allow Mane to come to harm. And she was right.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Mane wondered seeing the silly look plastered on Indra's handsome face.
