Temporal Pearls

Seth folded his Cart again and stored it away before he handed the box to her. It floated and she opened it using telekinesis.

Her eyes shone with light as she observed it, a smile appeared on her face.

"It was already digesting what it fed from you before you cut off its hand!" She said and then looked at him, "You are ME 25 perfect requirements for evolving. Thank you for surviving!"

"I find it weak, actually."

"Now we know its strongest attack is Mind Suppression that is capable of knocking Adult dragons down. You have the perfect counter to it that why you say that. Not to mention, it knew it was weak, that's why it was very cunning and never made moves without certainty!"

"What happened when Medos evolved?" Seth asked.

She sighed and waved her hand which nothing happened but she looked at Seth and said,

"They enter into transition state. A state we can't describe but it can last a second or centuries or even millennia. The state can be dangerous or harmless. If it's dangerous, the dragons, humans, other Medos and Menos and all other factions have to buckle up for an unending carnage. All minor sanctuaries will cease to exist and merge with stronger ones and even with that, they pray for miracles."

She said with slight fear.

Old man Brighton continued to explain, "The good things are in that State, the things will move toward places that are abundant with life signatures and powers. Garden Of Eden is the most open place that can be found and we face them all the time."

"One will never know if Medos will be harmless or opposite, that is why we all dread the prospect of their transition state. And we must act faster and unite no resist it!" Lady Sarama said.

"What about isolating it?" Seth asked which made the woman laugh before she composed herself.

"We said Transition State, we didn't say beast or monster. Transition State can be anything that can do everything or anything. It's bizarre and can't be explained. Enough with that"

"I never want for anyone to face that situation before but I will make an exception. You have survived the avatar, that means you can survive this one with luck!" Old man Brighton said.

But Lady Sarama shook her head, and Seth noticed a faint trembling as she said, "Do not be upset with the boy. You are in the wrong for making him come here without making explanation!"

"Hmm. I'm not disturbed by his childish attitude and lack of manners toward us. I said that because Gawee Magisters are rare and the boy has the madness to follow that path of the title."

Lady Sarama stopped observing the Medos hand and looked at Seth, now she didn't hold back her scrutiny, he felt her invading before she smiled genuinely, "You are Venerable. Magisters are rare but Gawee Magisters are rarer. A Lord and a Magister, interesting. Please don't create horrors for us!" She pleaded.

He now understood the title he got was very important and revered by the people.

Then a young man entered, seeing the two people he quickly bowed and greeted them before he stood in place.

"I decided to give you three things." Lady Sarama said as she eyes Seth, "First, I will give you Phantom Horses. They are newly developed non-living Creatures that one can only use with Gawee Cart. This will allow it to grade up faster to three!"

Seth nodded, he liked that.

"Second, I will give you 10,000 Crownlings. The price per coin changed but at now the Crownling value is 102,489 Gold. If you follow the market fluctuations, they can even be ranked up to million per crownling."

Seth was confused but didn't ask questions as he remembered his own Crown.

"Do you have a Crown?" Brighton asked. He wanted to say no but he said yes.

"Show me!" She asked. He dally as he observed them before he fished out the Crown.

It was the coin he found when he killed that creature in Coral Domain.

"Good. Your own is growing. If you place currencies close to it will feed on them. But it can't feed on Crownling that has deep signatures like mine. I suggest you feed it well until it is marked by your own signature. By then you will be walking money making."

She explained before Seth stored it away.

"Third, do you want this marking?" She asked and Seth stared at the marking on the hand before he nodded.

"It will be painful!" She said.

"He is immune to pain!" Old man Brighton said.

"Good. Sam, please transfer this blessing to him!" She asked the young man who had been standing.

"Yes, mother?" He came and stood before Seth, "Sir, these markings are painful and they leave an imprint in the mind and body which may lead to some adverse effect for a period, maybe days or even years. Are you sure you want it!"

Seth sighed and nodded.

"We can't replicate the ability. We can only transfer it. The Blessed Mark came from a being that we didn't yet understand. She takes every life has her child and offers her blessings at a price. I obtained a Blessing to transfer other blessings obtained from Medos, Beast and Dragons."

He explained to Seth more,

"The hand is still alive but when it dried and life left it, the blessing vanished completely. I'm just explaining to you to understand what it's is"

"Will this being know about me?" Seth asked.

He hated to associate with any more of these entities.

"She already knows and given her approval, if not, the marking will have vanished immediately after the hand was severed!"

Seth looked at Brighton and Sarama for some conducive explanation but they all forced a smile.

"If I refuse now will I be in trouble!" Seth asked.

"She is a mother and benevolent. No harm will ever come from her directly!"

Seth swallowed hard, now it is a dilemma, of course he wants the blessing but then he doesn't want more trouble.

"Okay, do it!"

"Please, remove your shirt!" Sam said with a kind smile and he added, "I will need to trace it to your inner self!"

'Damn it. Whu is this happening? Most I reveal all my secrets to you people?' Seth complained internally.

Seth's body is full with markings but the thing was without his attire he is weak against attack.

One punch will drain his 12000 Exertion Points. He shook his head and said, "Well, I don't think I need it!"

Ding!

Seth frowned, the boy was looking at his mother when Seth said, "Okay, let's do it!"

He stood and began to remove his attire until he was only pants.

"How can your mind support all this?" The boy exclaimed. Both Lady Sarama and Brighton move close trying to decipher the tattoos and markings on Seth's body.

With the confusion on their face, Seth understood they did not understood most of them. Especially now that the tattoos had merged in a way.

"It should be on your right hand!" Sam said, as he observed the wavings on that part and also the Hourglass made of flowing light red stream.

He composed himself and then his hand became hazy and bright light came from them before he made signs and invisible force came out from the Medos hand.

Then he faced Seth and made other signs and the force vanished. Seth felt as if his spinal cord was being sucked dried before he felt something was moving in his body.

The Flower Pathway activated and immediately the thing flowed through them numerous times before it settled on his right hand.

However, it didn't make the same marking but a sphere around Hourglass.

[Flower Pathways Activated]

[Holder Reach Blessed Essence circulated]

[Essence digested, alter to suit the body]

[Congratulations]

[You have obtained Umbrella Reach]

Seth felt zapped as all the tattoos on his body released energy to stabilize the new one known as Umbrella Reach.

"It's a success!" Sam said with a smile, "and there are no repercussions!" He added.

Seth wore his attire back and he felt the changes, he felt as if everything was tight on him. As if he had held on to all his stuff.

"It changed its name right!" Sam asked excitedly.

Seth nodded and the boy laughed, "Finally, I have an improved implantation. Mother, you have to move my rank up!"

She nodded before she waved for him to leave. He bowed to them before he walked away.

At that, a man in cowboy clothes came inside. Seeing Brighton he trembled before he greeted the woman and avoided the old man.

"Place them here!"

The man placed three boxes. One box has two horses, the next four horses and the last has 12 horses.

"Choose a box!" She asked.

"Is this a test!" Seth inquired but she only smiled. He didn't waste time but extended his aura from his staff and envelope them all.
