Chapter 3 Expedition.
In a place full of blue natural serene lights, where the air shimmers with glistening blue colours, it was beautiful in equal measure.
Waterfalls that flow down the mountain and in narrow streams along the edges of the stone pathways guarded and looking like something sacred, yet it made no chaotic sound ....only a low, soothing resonance, as if the place itself was breathing
Sacred Waters revealed themselves clearly.
The entire sanctuary seemed carved from living crystal mostlyin blue. Veins of soft azure light ran through the translucent walls, pulsing gently like a calm heartbeat. The ground was smooth and cool, reflecting the blue radiance in quiet ripples that shifted with every step.
Above, there was no visible sun, no moon — only an endless canopy of luminous mist swirling slowly, casting down a tranquil glow that erased the harshness of shadow. It did not feel like night. It did not feel like day. It felt suspended… untouched by time.
At the center of this hidden realm lay a vast circular basin. The Sacred Waters themselves were impossibly clear, yet within their depths moved faint streaks of silver and pale gold — currents of energy flowing like living threads.
The water did not simply reflect light; it seemed to generate it. Anyone standing near it could feel a subtle pressure against their skin, a gentle but undeniable awareness brushing against their core.
------------
Echo was amazed by the sight in front of him, So this is the sacred waters you were talking about.
This is no ordinary water, it listens, it remembers and it judges ....Elsa replied her voice echoed out in a chamber.
Two people seated infront of each other in a quiet chamber overlooking the basin.A low table carved from a single slab of crystal separated them.
Its walls were made of pale stone etched with ancient patterns that glowed faintly whenever the waters pulsed.The floor cushions beneath them were simple but comfortable, woven from fibers that shimmered faintly in the blue light
The room was modest compared to the grandeur outside. They were Echo and Elsa.
The glow from outside filtered through a wide, open archway behind Elsa, outlining her figure in soft radiance.
Echo had a confused look ....you said the waters listens ,as in. Elsa nodded. You will understand soon when it comes ,she replied.
When it comes, he taught in confusion. As if to demonstrate its arrival, a blue ripple spread out across the sanctuary coming from nowhere but somewhere.
The ripple touched Elsa, it flowed smoothly, almost affectionately, as though recognizing her presence but when the blue light brushed against him it felt differently and it hesitated.
As if to confirm who this is until it moved on.
Echo felt like he was being watched
Elsa noticed everything and nodded
She rested one arm casually on the table, her posture relaxed.
"The Sacred Waters amplify one's truth," she said calmly. "They respond to what you are — not what you pretend to be."
Echo swallowed.
So about my story ,do you want to hear, echo said. Elsa nodded her head for him to continue.
From where he sat, he could see the basin beyond the chamber and started telling her his story before he was collapsed.
...
He told her how a guy in the Verdan frequency(green light) who was three realms above him came to him and told him to join him in an expedition, promising him treasures that he at the carnis frequency(red light) cant ignore.
Not because of only the treasures but he was a higher enlighter.
I was not the only one at the carnis stage it seems he was on the verge of breakthrough so he wanted as many of lower realm as cannon fodder for his own gain.
I already knew my fate and truth ,that i will be dead if I don't do something at the time of the expedition, so I prepared and planned ahead for any opening to escape but unluckily for me .
Before I could even make a move.....
He broke through.
In the middle of the expedition, beneath a fractured sky and trembling earth, he evolved — ascending into the Aethric frequency(blue),during the expedition.
He paused, trying to make it settle, but echo saw the confusion on her face .
Dont worry I will try and explain all in detail for you to understand and including the power stages and what they do. Elsa nodded her face was full of determination and delight. she knew from this moment she will hear some crazy story
Cute!!! The determined look on her face almost made him laugh.
