Rowan's mind was in a daze, yet his perception had never felt clearer. It was as if he was looking at the world through a new set of eyes. This should not be far from the truth, as he had gained access to a new way of approaching reality, one that he had forgotten, and he had also learned the name of this new form of energy that was killing him.
"Aetherium… So that's the name of this unknown form of power. A merger of Essence and Aether, seems simple on the surface, but how do you merge two opposite concepts? Like merging life and death, and there is something… else hidden inside this merge, something even more unnatural. Haaa, this is so fun and challenging, but I better get serious now, I think I'm about to die. It would be a shame to mar my Title with failure. I am already so close."
If not for the hatred he had for the Third Prince he would applaud the foresight of this wily creature.
