Crack! Crack!
In a deep forest situated on a mountain was a humanoid statue, seated next to a boulder. It resembled a human man with impeccable proportions, perfectly sculpted to represent the peak of humanity.
The stone statue began to crack as pieces of it fell to the ground, disappearing as fragments of light that swerved into the figure within. Eventually, almost a quarter of the stone layer fell off, causing the individual to wake up.
"Hah…how long was I asleep?" It was Compass Carburettor, awake now. He closed his eyes and sensed the presence of Pnolli that had been borrowing his power for a while.
All along, Compass Carburettor wasn't entirely unconscious. He was more in a state of trance as he still received all the prayers directed at him and also gave out blessings. The prayers solidified his faith and accumulated power in him.
