Escape

Michael had no idea how much time had passed, but he knew the cheers had subsided. Everyone was staring at him, trying to figure out what he was doing. However, nobody approached him because they were too afraid something would happen. Yes, the Rebels were afraid. Something about Michael was changing, and it was certainly not in the Rebels' favor or within their expectations.

How could they have expected that Michael's presence would slowly change until it felt eerily similar to Primal Xer's presence…the presence of a Primal.

Michael was not a Primal, but he was sure perceived as one. All that was missing were the fuel of Essences—Michael was still digesting the Primal Essence—and his connection to the weave. All gods were connected to the weave, some with a stronger connection, whereas others had a weaker connection. Under normal circumstances, a stronger connection indicated more power.
