Two Ascendant Explorers were fleeing, their speeds of movements were so quick it was almost as if time had been frozen in place, because nothing around them was moving, even the molecules in the air were frozen in place, and if not for a green flame covering the two Ascendants that pushed away the frozen particles in their paths aside, then every motion of their bodies would be like a nuclear explosion going off, but this protective green flame was slowly dying out.
Their bodies which seemed to be made from black smoke left long trails behind, but their form appeared shaky and on the edge of dissipation as if both Ascendants had suffered grievous damages to their bodies.
This was when the true reality of their situation was revealed, their speeds were ridiculously fast, that was true, but the reality they were traveling past had been frozen in time, and their only protection against this time stop effect was the rapidly vanishing green flames covering their bodies.
One of the Ascendants noticing the rapidly fading flames, sighed and spoke loudly, breaking the silence that had been their companion all this while as they fled,
"We won't make it. The fort is gone, and the Blight has overtaken us."
"Yes, we won't make it, but it does not matter if we don't make it, from here we should be able to transfer the data about the spread of the Time Blight. Give me your flames, I shall complete the process. I shall send a small packet of information across to the Council, the flames should be able to protect such a minor amount of data until it escapes this zone."
There was a slight pause before the first Explorer nodded, and touched the second Ascendant passing the remnants of his flames over to him without any hesitation even though he knew he was condemning himself to a date worse than death, and immediately he was frozen in place.
Rowan reappeared above a massive continent, far greater than any he had ever been. This continent was more than ten thousand miles in circumference and covered with nothing but endless forests. This was one of the most important outposts of the Silver Alliance.
Behind him, the Shiik appeared shortly followed by the Prism which collapsed into dust. Rowan had utilized every single speck of energy inside the Prism to bring him to the farthest location it was able to reach, knowing he would be able to get a more powerful Teleportation Prism in this location to bring him to his target.
Looking up at the sky, he noticed that the position of the three Ascendant suns had shifted their position and was closer to the north, confirming his speculations and affirming the memories of the Explorers that he had collected that the Ascendant Suns were no longer powerful enough to cover the entire Realm.
From the memories in his mind, Rowan knew that once there were ten Ascendant Suns and an equal number of Calamity Suns, and they separated the Realm equally between them, but seven of the Ascendant Suns had fallen, for only three Calamity Suns, pushing the balance out of bounds.
This meant that in many corners of the Realm, the light of the Ascendant Sun could not reach them, and they were permanently under the bounds of Calamity.
Dropping his gaze back to the earth, Rowan began surveying the land. The forest covered more than ninety-five percent of the entire land mass, and the rest five percent was dedicated to a massive castle that could hold tens of millions.
This castle did not belong to the Silver Alliance, they were only to serve as watchers over it. This castle was the property of the Council of Nine, the preeminent power of Ascendancy, whose among its members were the three Ascendant suns overhead.
The castle was called the Stone Reach, and it was responsible for holding back the tides of Calamities against a thousand Continent and was an important communication hub for a lot of continents facing the crushing onslaught of the Calamities, however, its most important function was that of a Citadel Hub, the only location that could ensure the immortality of a Deific Ranked Explorer.
