God's Eyes

Walking through the crowded alleys of the entire planet's Capital, Zariath, Jennifer and Jason attracted many gazes from the surrounding Elvyr and Sacred Elvyr.

However, as they were already accustomed to the gazes that lingered on them, they could calmly follow the path their instincts made them walk on.

Thus they strolled through the bustling streets for a few minutes, only to turn into a smaller street, where they continued to walk on for half an hour.

Afterward, they reached another bustling street.

Without even realizing it, they continued to do this for more than 12 hours, until they had visited several stores with rare ingredients, special ores, mysterious plants, but also shops with ordinary herbs that could be found all around Linarium.

When Jason heard this, he was quiet by the abundance of resources and wealth in of Linarium that gave him a rough estimation of the Elvyr race's wealth.

Initially, he was confused about the fact that there were two different, yet similar Elvyr races.

However, this confusion was quickly cleared as Jason began to understand what was going on.

Eons ago, a mutant of the Elvyr race was born.

It had been a feeble baby girl who was on the verge of death owing to the mysterious energy that lingered in her body.

Her body was not suitable for the energy that coursed through her veins owing to her mutation.

Only when a particular Demi-God appeared in front of them, who had been on his way to fulfill an order he had been given, the parents of the mutated baby girl found a ray of hope.

After all, the Demi-God radiated an energy that was similar to that of their little baby girl!

Both her parents were even ready to sacrifice themselves, if it was a necessity to save their daughter, and had looked for and approached the Demi-God, who was, in fact, Celestia Yaldra!

It was said that the Celestia had decided to help out the moment he heard about the condition of the young baby girl, helping her with the influx of his powers and divine energy!

Repairing her Maest cultivation vein, Celestia Yaldra spent several days in order to fix the young Elvyr's issue that had been caused by her mutation.

In the end, this was how the Sacred Elvyr race came into existence, through the hands of Celestia Yaldra, who had helped the young baby girl awaken her full potential.

Through this she became the first Queen of the Empire that would soon later acquire much more power than they could have ever believed.

Jason felt that the story was quite interesting, even more so as his father had played a huge role in it.

So far, he had heard many rumors about him, and he felt happy to notice that none of them had been bad.

This spoke volumes about his father's goodwill and power.

However, instead of focusing on the story that he had gotten to know by asking different merchants about the difference between the Elvyrs and the Sacred Elvyrs, Jason's attention was mostly fixated on procuring different materials and ingredients.

As they were in the Capital of the entire planet, Linarium, the city was not only ginormous, and inhabited by hundreds of millions but also was filled with treasures!

The items they found were numerous and far more than Jason could have hoped for.

"That accounts for six items for your True Soul awakening, and three for mine. Wow!"

While Jason summarized the number of different ingredients they found for their True Soul awakening, Jennifer could only smile brightly, having a hard time believing it herself.

First, the pulling force she perceived had been subtle, but after finding the first material she required for her awakening, the strings that pulled her closer to it seemed to have increased.

In the end, she was not even sure if she had found everything that pulled her toward the different places.

However, it was already late, and they had gotten a rough estimation of how much of a fortune they had to procure to get their hands on all materials, whether it was the items' quality or quantity.

On the outside, Jason looked extremely calm but he was currently digesting the news about the fortune he required and the fact that Jennifer's True Soul awakening might as well be completed once she was to procure everything.

It was quite interesting, but also made him feel a bit queasy as it felt way too easy.

'It is not like anything in the last few years, let alone months had been easy…'

Clearly understanding this, Jason didn't allow himself to lower his guard.

Somehow, this made him feel extremely weird as he had been quite confident about their safety on Linarium.

The most important was to be able to live without any fear, in the end, Jason might feel like he was safe at the moment, but there had often been times he had felt like this in the past as well.

And his past experiences told him that the otherwise peaceful and calm moments had been more of an indicator of an incoming storm; a storm that was more devastating the longer the period of peace had been maintained.

That being said, Jason was not very comfortable with everything he had gotten to know so far as peace was everything the citizens of Zariath seemed to know.

The last few centuries were said to have been the most prosperous as their enemies had retreated, while the number of the most prodigious talents had skyrocketed like never before.

A few hundred years might only be a short time for most Elvyrs but these years had been a testing time in which everyone had been forced to become stronger than ever before.

Thus, despite the apparent peace, nobody seemed to be slacking off in their cultivation, and martial art practice.

This was something Jason liked and appreciated.

As such, even he was able to calm down a little as he and Jennifer walked back from their trip through numerous streets towards their room.

Meanwhile, Spyro and Aren had manifested from the soul world.

The Spiral Spirit adored the Roc youngling which was clearly noticeable as Spyro's body morphed into a feathered crest for Aren.

It looked quite stunning if Jason were to be honest with himself as the brightly shimmering silver liquid of Spyro camouflaged itself nearly perfectly to Aren's golden feathers.

Because of that, the onlookers' eyes widened even further than before when they had seen Aren.

Despite being the capital of Linarium, there were only few Rocs one could rarely see in Zariath, and even less in the central district. It was even rarer to spot a youngling with golden plumage!

Within minutes the attention that was drawn on Jason and Jennifer increased manifold as Aren was running around them in circles playfully.

Climbing all over their body using his beak and talons, he had turned them into his playground.

However, that was fine with Jason as he was already accustomed to his playful nature.

Only Jennifer had slight issues accepting that her clothes were pulled in all directions when Aren dug his claws in them to climb over her head.

Jason found this amusing and it gave him a chance to have more than enough fun teasing her,.

It was great to be safe, and even Jason was slowly beginning to relax in the surrounding.

But even then too many things had happened to him before he was able to give in completely to the surrounding atmosphere that radiated nothing but happiness, joy, and comfort.

This was even more so the case when he perceived the mana fluctuations of Kiat from far away, though they were still far from their home.

From the looks of it, he was waiting for them, and when Jason perceived the Sacred Elvyr's hue that enveloped him tightly, Jason was unable to suppress a deep sigh.

Jennifer looked at him a moment later, which caused Jason to grumble,

"Why did I know that we wouldn't be able to have some more peaceful time without any trouble?"
