A recurring dream from a fateful night haunts Varian. With a past he couldn't forgive himself for and a future he abandoned, his life in the present is in tatters. But when you're alive, there's hope. The hope comes one day in an unexpected form. The painful past, the meaningless dream and the unexpected way forward force him to make a choice. Stay broken and remain in the sorrow of the past he couldn't change. Or. Pick himself back together and try for one last time, to find the truth about his own dream and its connection to his unforgivable past, all in the hopes of forgiveness of himself, by himself. https://discord.gg/kBKaTtsrpb
The journey had been arduous.
Prince Sohan and the two princess nearly died once before reaching the roots of the World Tree.
Like everything else here, the roots weren't normal and didn't look normal.
Instead, each root, varying in color, silver, bronze, gold, red, black and green—looked like a giant road whose width surpassed a hundred suns put together.
Varian didn't dismiss them as just different colored roots. Instead, he used his extended senses and confirmed a hypothesis.
"Really now…"
There were eight roots, each pertaining to a path.
Life. Soul. Death.
Space. Gravity. Time.
Order. Chaos.
"I don't care about this anymore, but Maria said I can exit the 60th floor if I cross the roots."
Even when he raised a path to rank 6 and extended his senses to the limit, Varian couldn't sense the end of the roots.
"Hortus…" Varian bit his lip and the space around him distorted.
