Ethera: Tale Of A Legend 10 Darkfall Conjecture Iii
A dead path! Ethera contemplated in complete inward dejection and intense anxiety as different information pa.s.sed through her mind in seconds. The path of Twin Realms was one of the dead paths muted to her by her parents that no young deity should get. As a matter of fact, she had learned that the path of twin realms was one of the most difficult paths in any world, for any living deity to walk. It was an extremely dangerous and deadly ancient path that had been singled out by the deities as a cursed path. Since the time immemorial, only one deity in the whole of the Underworld was ever known to have followed its course. Yet, despite all his efforts, he became a loose deity in the end. For a deity to have a good chance of threading the path of the Twin Realms, there were two things that must happened. First, the deity must have a true manifestation of the combination of the equal essence energy of both the Underworld and the Overworld. And second, the deity must have every possible fortunate encounters. As a dyad, a deity could decide to walk only one of the two realms but there wouldn't be balance in the deity's life-essence and would still become a loose deity at the end of it. Even, if the deity had a true essence affiliation of the two worlds, it would still be extremely difficult to walk in order to reach true immortality. Unless, the deity would walk the two realms to the ascension stage, which had never been done before, true immortality would only be of the dreams. Nonetheless, with a fate that entailed these two deity worlds, a dyad deity could be a true drifter. Able to exist and cultivate in both worlds of the deities without too much difficulties. This was a benefit of a drifting deity, though, was nothing compare to the dangers it certainly involved. As long as there was possibility of her being on the good side of fate, she could stand a chance of true immortality. Otherwise, it would be a futile sojourn.From the Ageless-Nimbus, Ethera moved to the next divine treasure. The Amber Scale. It was time to measure her soul essence affiliation. Since having the Twin-Realms path, would she be able to manifest the essence of the two deity worlds to stand a chance of true immortality. She could feel the burning eyes of the present deities on her as she stood on the Amber Scale. She closed her eyes in apprehension as the scale vibrated intensely. The impulse was sent to her soul which released an emission of dark silver essence. The essence was absorbed into the scale and separated into two energy of black and white. There was utter silence as they all watched the lights on the Amber Scale. If it was of equal essence, two lights must flared on the sides of the scale. Otherwise, her destiny would have been sealed. No Ethereal Eternal under any circ.u.mstances.Seconds later, two lights on the sides of the scale lit up brightly before fizzling out immediately. The radiance of the two lights should be more than enough to determine her affiliation. Or, not? She watched the keeper of the records of essence affiliation, judge Ossidor, scribbled on his scroll before voicing out loudly.
"Dark Silver Essence energy. Twin affinity. A Dyad." Ethera heaved a huge sigh of relief after hearing these words. She was a dyad. Not that it mattered to other deities, but to her, it meant a chance at true immortality. Her major concern now, was to find a school that would train her and guide her path. Without one, she would be a loose deity which was good as a dead deity. She took a glance towards the direction of the school patriarchs but could only see cold stares. Ah, she would surely be a loose cultivator if they all ignored her. She tried to calm her mind as she was directed towards the next divine treasure. The Transient circlet. A hovering colourless ring of Becoming. The number of the Transient Circlet's manifestation around a deity would determine the nature of the deity's power of becoming. Ten-rings were the rarest and most revelled of all deities. They were naturally powerful deities, the true deities with the brightest becoming fate. Only few were ten-rings in the Underworld. The few included the arch-supreme himself, lord Hades. The ten transient rings on his fingers were an indication of his true becoming fate. Her own father had seven while her mother had six. How many would she get too? Would she be strong enough? As soon as she was placed under the ring, a transient barricade was formed around her, sealing her off from the rest of the world. It was after several long minutes, that the barricade disappeared and the circlet returned to its hovering state. All eyes were on Ethera as they tried to see how many rings would form around her. This was the last manifestations for her to achieve some sort of reputation for her family. A six-ring manifestation would be more than enough to give her some honour to redeem her awakening. Even, a five-ring would be just as good for her to be accepted by some school patriarchs. Ethera waited to see how many rings would appeared but none came. She stared at judge Uvumel who observed the Transient Circlet carefully before scribbling on his opened scroll. He looked at Ethera as he made his declaration."Unknown becoming. Fateless manifestations."Fateless? This was becoming more and more unbearable for her. She wouldn't even have a single ring? She wasn't even strong enough for one? That was it. No school would take her now. She was going to be a loose cultivator. Her spirit was now totally dejected. Her parents had spent so much on her to be here today and she had little to show in return.A Fateless Dyad?By the time she was moved to the last divine treasure, her mind was no longer in the awakening. The manifestation of the soul weapon was of extreme importance to a deity. The Mythic Eye would disclose the type of soul weapon and the precise location for a deity to conjure the soul weapon. The soul weapon would forever be linked to the soul of the deity and kept in the soul-s.p.a.ce. Though, some deities could later forge a more powerful similar weapon. The luminous light from the Mythic Eye enclosed Ethera as the eye gazed into her very soul. As the luminous light rescinded and the Mythic Eye retracted, judge Shadiomar's voice sounded out."Glaive. Valley of Thousand-Death."At the same time as judge Shadiomar was making the announcement, Ethera too was unconsciously making an utterance in her mind."A glaive." So much for a rude awakening. By the time Ethera finished her rite, the conjecture was already back in a happy mood. They had already forgotten about a young fateless girl. Of what concern was her to them? They wouldn't careless if she was dead, dying or alive. Though, most would prefer her dead. One less future threat, if she made it that far. As a deity, she could already be as good as dead or be a potential immortal in the future. However, no deity had ever finished the path 0f the Twin Realms and being a deity with unknown fate, she could possibly die at anytime. After her rite, Ethera waited and watched anxiously as the other remaining kids performed their rites. There were many kids who ended up with various strong paths and becoming. Ten nine-rings and two ten-rings. Even twenty kids with the Death-herald manifestation. This was the highest graded awakening year that was ever recorded. As the high savant concluded with the numbers, Ethera was already lost in thoughts. As she was contemplating, all of her thoughts disappeared as the voice of lord Hades rang throughout the conjecture.
