Grandma nimara was first to react and started focussing. As the green essces madly started entering her body recovering the damaged cells at a steady pace.
Kairos seeing this,stepped back. And stood at the side watching the Thinking, It really worked!.
At that moment a voice echoed Within his mind.
"I have given you what you asked for. From today onwards. You are prohibited to step foot within the veronia Forest. The thing you pulled today won't work afterwards. Or you and your whole empire will face my warth!
With that the voice faded away.Kairos staggered back leaning at the tree.
Who cared about the threat? Not him.To him the most important thing was. He has done it!
He had done it! He has saved his master this time!. Returning the favor she had bestowed him.
Kairos felt joy. It was one of the thing that he carried till the end with him. But now one of such burdens has been lifted.
The seed underneath her hand reacted as vines sprouted out from within enclosing her in a vine dome that was pulsing with green energy.
The process would take at least three years.
For her to recover completely. Kairos realized it was time for him to say good bye.
Kairos took out a small patch of paper. Before writing down few words " Please protect this empire' and nailed it down using a small dagger on the tree that he was leaning against.
With that done, Kairos gave another look to his master before with a big sigh of relief Kairos steped out from the place.
The paper was reinforced with metal blended in. Thus there was no worry of it being destroyed or corroded
He started heading towards deeper where the owsdin academy is located.
Meanwhile , Just when Kairos left the place, right beside the vined dome where his master Nimara was rejuvenating just above it reality slowly distorted before a white orb gradually appeared.
It was the world tree. It gazed down at the vines dome before floating right beside it.
The vine dome trembled as Grandma nimara reacted. She had recognized the presence of the one she had served long ago.
The world tree looked at it before speaking, " Child focus on recovering first"
Nimara stopped worrying as she was told. The world tree looked at the surroundings before gazing at the trance, It visson pierced through the thick rocks, crossing the forest before stoping right behind someone who was walking forward, It was Kairos.
" Child, Tell me what's your relationship with him?" World tree asked.
Grandma nimara started speaking while minimizing the process. " I have seen that person for the first time in my life "
She spoke respectfully. The world tree didn't speak for the next few seconds.
Meanwhile, all of a sudden something within Kairos trimbled. His eyes widened as he sensed it, it was his soul gear. It's on its own materialized in front of him.
The pages turned over, Opening at a new page that he never saw before. At the left page was many glowing gems of all colors. While on his left side, a big purple gem was inbuted, underneath was five small gems with infinity symbols all over it.
one of the crystals started glowing more then the others it slowly detached itself and floated above without further any notice it shot away, gazing his cheeks disappearing behind.
Meanwhile, The world tree was shocked seeing such scenes and quickly took her humanoid form.Her green eyes widen more,Before she could react the gem had already crossed the distance between them. It materialized Infront of her eyes before changing path midways, going down forcefully entering the vine dome where nimera was, Imprinting a small infinity logo before disappearing.
Her face changed right away seeing the logo, so much that her mouth was agap, as her mind processed more she quickly looked forward right on the book that materialized Infront of Kairos.
Sudden realization struck her, She calmed down.
" Your highness are you ok!" Worried voice came from within the vine dome.
She didn't spoke and gazed at her hand. As she did gradually a small symbol of small tree with half full of leaves while other half was dead with no leaves appeared.
"I see, So it has finally chosen its owner. It's finally starting" She mumbled.
Hearing that Nimara who was confused spoke up, " Your highness?"
The world tree looked at her. She was about to say it was nothing but thinking again, she decided to tell.
" Nimara listens closely"
Hearing the serious voice Nimara's facial expression changed. She has reduced the process already by 50% but hearing those words she did by 80%. The words of world tree are more important to her now.
The world tree took a big sigh before opening her mouth. " Nimara do you know who bestowed magic in this world?"
" Isn't it Sir owsdin, Who bestowed magic. When the dark age begun?"
The world tree shaked her head gently.Nimara was completely serious, completely halting the rejuvenation process. She will start later although some effect will be lost, like a few years of rejuvenation.
" My master was a being, That could destroy the whole continent with a flick of his finger. A being that what we have called, An ascended "
Nimara was shocked hearing that word. Ascended! A being that has surpassed the legendary stage we're ones lifespan never depletes, A being that's akin to an immortal.
"I was just a small sapling. I don't remember much. But once he told me, He has fallen into this world while protecting somethings"
" I can't say much but those very things have choosen their new owner "
She spoke before turning around, " Nimara do you know why I'm telling these?" She asked
Nimara gulped down as she slowly started connecting the dots, " That per…person has one?"
She nodded her head, " Yes " before turning around sensing the energy that was emitting from the orb that has entered the body of her once a subordinate of past.
She wanted to speak about something. But then stoped waving her hand making the symbol on her hand disapear.
" Farewell, We are enemies from today onwards " she spoke and disappeared.
Nimara had a split second to reply and spoke out. " What you mean highness. Did I do something wrong?"
But her highness was already long gone still a lingering massage was heard in her head left being by her master. Her eyes gradually widen as heard them before along deep sigh escaped from her mouth.
-------
Kairos looked at the page trying his hard to understand what is this. There were no words writen on it.
That one gem that shot towards behind didn't return anymore. Making him more curious, The book was something that he still couldn't figure out much, like it's origin who made it anything along those lines.
Thus everything about the book matters to him as this was most likely the thing that brouth him back in time.
Kairos sighed, As traced at the gems. The seven colored gems all had their unique sensation that was hard to describe. For example purple one gives of the same sensation when his soul gear reacts so he could easily conclude that the purple gem represents him.
As for other he had no clues. The red one upon touching gives of the feeling of bloodlust while the yellow one gives a smoothing sensation same for others each has unique sensation
" What are these?"
Then theres another weird page opened up. Titled [first lock]
And there was bunch of words that he couldn't understand but after a moment the words twisted and become readable.
Kairos frowned reading that. This thing was full of mysteries that he has yet to discoved and today so many things have opened up that he have now clue off.
Realizing he have no ways of knowing now. Kairos sighed before giving the page a last look and dismissing the soul gear.
Kairos jumped down from the tree branch from where he was sitting just now and started walking towards the north.
