Broken World - Part I - Awakening of the Beastmaster - #8CCMay24

Chapter 21 : Celestial Fusion Preparation

Ama remains silent and looks at the clusters of energy that converge on the formation that covers the ground and illuminates it more and more with a thoughtful look.

"Where do you think this energy comes from?" Asks Ama.

The celestial sphinx looks at the formation that absorbs the energy and then raises its head. It observes the fine clusters of energy that thicken as they get closer to the formation. Then it turns his head to Ama.

"From a beast, from a master, from the plan itself or from the creator of all? We are too small to understand the mysteries of this world." Said the beast.

"The creator of all? Do you really believe it? This ignorance could cost us dearly... After all, even the most powerful being that exists in this world is nothing more than a beast or a master." Ama said.

The time on this plane varies according to the energy density of the region. The denser the energy in a given region, the slower the passage of time relative to the human plane. For high-density areas, you can spend what seems like several Earth days, but back on a human level, you realize that just a few hours, sometimes just a few minutes, have passed. In some cases, areas with high energy density were recommended and for others areas with low density.

"I will therefore take advantage of these two days to gather information on Énama. If I'm not back in time, contact me." Ama said

"Understood. Above all, remain cautious." Said the beast.

"I promise to be careful. I won't be of any use to anyone if I get captured or killed." Said Ama.

With these words, her presence vanishes from the bestial plane and she reappears in a luxurious apartment with a beautiful view of the city that stretches out at the foot of her building. This city is Bindzi's hometown. It is possible to see the highest peaks of those mountain range that has been occupied for generations by the Emana family.

The Emana clan, one of the oldest clans in human history, is a long way from its glory days. The dissolution of their precious ancestral blood led to the degradation of their authority and the scattering of their members. However, some of the vast territory that was once under their control is still under the control of the last descendants of the lineage who remained on their homelands.

Since the funeral of Bindzi's parents, neither he nor Ama has seen Enama again. Not much time has passed between that day and today, but a lot has happened in this short period of time.

Énama is comfortably installed in Bindzi's office. At that moment, he was on the phone.

"Is everything progressing as planned?'' asks his correspondent.

"I captured the Emana parents. The information you provided me proved to be correct." Énama said.

"Just the parents? Where is the son? Don't tell me that you're still playing good friends with him." The correspondent asks.

"Of course not. I was planning to make him disappear after his parents' funeral so as not to draw too much attention to myself and put his disappearance down to his irresponsible character and mental instability. He couldn't handle the pressure and the grief. He entrusted everything to me and took some time to get his mind right.'' Said Énama who had even already imagined a whole scenario to make the entire Émana family disappear without arousing suspicion.

"Enama, you impress me. Tell me, were you an actor in another life? Obviously, it didn't go as planned."

"Upon his return, using his extraordinary agility, he sneaked into the lab and overheard a conversation between me and my guards. Afterwards, he managed to flee to his office and vanished. Besides, I tell myself that this agility must have something to do with his authority." Said Enama.
