Rowan closed his left fist, blinding Caine, and proceeded to look around him.
Behind him his Angels began to appear, led by his two Sovereigns, Eva and Lost also appeared, with the former nodding at him in excitement, a wordless command from Rowan shifted all his Angels into Guardian Mode as Rowan needed only a few moments more to complete his Core.
He had already sacrificed so much for this opportunity to free himself, and the death of his children weighed heavily on him. Rowan cleansed his mind of distraction with a firm burst of will.
The anguish remained, but he had to make their passing worth it.
About to take the final step, a shrill howl emerged from the gem in his left hand, "How?...."
"Wouldn't you love to know," Rowan muttered inside his heart, stifling the intense hatred and loathing he felt for Caine, he was too close to be distracted, and he quickly accessed the Primordial Record.
