Chapter 1569 1569. Pieces Coming Together

Without any warning, Walker felt someone sit next to him and a head fall on his shoulder.

As he looked over, a sleepy eyed Alice was leaning on him while Onyx was slithering up next to him. Aurora was still wrapped around Alice's arm asleep which seemed to be the best place for her to rest.

"You are both awake!" Walker was very happy. With the book, or journal, in his hands, he nearly lept up to show them what he had found. But when he realized that Alice was making herself comfortable his heart skipped a beat and he controlled himself a little more. "You three have to hear what I just read."

"Brother, have you been waiting for us for long?" Onyx tried to figure out if Walker had been waiting for them the entire time that they were training. He felt bad that they had remained asleep even after the sun had risen.

"No, I was reading for a while and speaking to the high priest. This book came from a researcher that had been instructed to deliver it to you after they translated it. They are making a lot of progress in the ancient tunnels and storage areas. They even have some of the runic language translated. Once this gets to the ancient library they will have so much more." Walker's energy was helping wake Onyx and Alice up even more. They were enticed by his upbeat attitude.

"That's good news. I am glad to start the day with something bright." Onyx knew that he would have more things to teach the hatchlings. This was an excellent thing to hear.

"No, you don't get it. This is perfectly about you and the heavenly serpents. I don't know what the intention of the ancient race was. It could have been a few different things but one that had been separated from his people was trying to get him. That made him record everything he saw." Walker was still struggling to contain his energy as Alice picked her head up. She was interested in the story. This was much better than having to read it herself.

"Can you tell us?" Her sweet voice made Walker even more dedicated.

"Yes, I would like to hear what you have found. I was tired after sitting in a room all day showing them how to better control the light. But teaching is a new experience so I have to say, it was interesting." Horizon had been silent and Walker hadn't even noticed the grand light elemental spirit.

"Are you alright Horizon? You look dimmer than usual?" Walker thought it might be from the training. But there was a nagging feeling. However, just as he felt he might put a finger on it and understand what he felt, the feeling seemed to erase itself.

"I was…I feel a little unbalanced. But that's because…hmm, I'm not sure anymore. I should be fine." The oddity of this situation halted their mood for a moment but like they hadn't even started the topic, the four returned to the main excitement. If anyone had been watching they would have felt the strangeness around them.

"Well, this book is more like a journal of what the person moving through the wilderness saw. He was separated because of a monster attack. He references great monsters. Those have to be the powerful ancient monsters. The ones that Scylla is descended from. I bet that they were the most dangerous. But it also described the other weaker monsters."

"Apparently they swarmed the areas near these great monsters. That was why the lands were so dangerous. Many monsters and the super powerful monsters. But what was even more shocking was that this person moved through the wilderness to make it back to the same city we got the mage tower from."

This was the first bog point Walker shared. This person had traveled even before the mage tower was built to get to the lands where they had traveled and risked their life. "Brother, are you saying that the theories about these ancient people were correct? They existed before the city was built and dug underground to hide?" Onyx was easily assembling the pieces.

"Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. This provided that perfectly." Walker was proud to present this first point. Alice was sitting at him as if he was a school teacher making great lecture points. It brought Waker even more pride.

"Then he made notes of the great monsters and other monsters he saw. There are many that he explained lived in certain areas. Most of it I can't seem to understand. But there is a great monster named the arachnid queen. That is who I believe the grey haired spiders descended from. That would make them more powerful if they can learn more about that great monster."

The idea that the grey haired spiders could trace their lineage was already a big deal. "What about me and Aurora? There has to be something about us if you are so excited."

"Must be." Alice looked serious now. She would take this subject even more seriously because she wanted to help Aurora grow properly. Even the smallest details were big for them.

"That's what I want to talk about. The person writing this passed through a place they called the devouring pass. I think it was a massive ravine in the mountains. But that's why it relates to you. The great dark serpent and the great white serpent lived in the sky and the devouring pass. That has to be the ancient abyssal and heavenly serpents."

Light flashed in Onyx's eyes as he understood. "We can find that place and find things related to us there!" by now Aurora had awoken to listen. She was still behind in learning compared to Onyx but had already grasped a great deal of understanding of what the human language was. Having Onyx speak to her in her mind also helped. It was like having a built in mental coach for understanding.

"Not just that onyx. There's more. There is a long passage about seeing the two great monsters. They reached from the shadows of the mountains and the light of the sky during a lunar eclipse. When shadows and light elemental mana met each other." Walker waited as Onyx grasped this. It was not making perfect sense but he could tell that Both Onyx and Alice were creating their own theories now.

"What I am saying is that you, an abyssal serpent, and Aurora, a heavenly serpent, are the same monster species. Not two, just different sides of a coin. All the abyssal serpents have been male, right? All the heavenly serpents have been female, right? Why could that be? Why do you have a strong darkness affinity along with some light affinity? Why does Aurora have a strong light affinity and weak darkness affinity? Why do you both consume light elemental mana as a source of strength and sustenance?"

Onyx lost his breath. Even Aurora felt that this was something major she should remember. "Walker, you are a genius." Alice had to compliment Walker. She felt that he had perfectly assembled the pieces of this puzzle while she looked at the passages Walker had opened the book to.

"Then we are unique monster that might not be as far from being a race as I thought." It had been too many years for the serpents to have such an in depth understanding of their species. "I have wondered why I felt the need to help the heavenly serpents the same as the abyssal serpent hatchlings. I thought it was just because they were like me. Nearly forgotten by the world." Onyx was beside himself. Walker could feel the deep pull of emotions in Onyx through their connections.

"It was more than that. You, my little brother, felt your instincts to protect your own race. You very same species. I am very proud of you for bringing your natural desires and world experiences together. Now you can do whatever you need with this information to grow your race to a world recognized race."

The atmosphere in the cathedral became warmer. Horizon had not spoken. He felt that he was seeing a new page of history develop. Over the many years, Horizon had seen and forgotten too many things. That was what life was for an elemental spirit, let alone a grand elemental spirit. Now he felt that this moment would be engraved in his very being. One he would never forget.

"Brother, while we rested you researched to help me. Let us show you what we learned. What we did to train. I promise you, you will be impressed." Onyx had a deep tone to his voice. One that made Walker understand that Alice, Onyx, and Aurora had learned a lot. Had pushed themselves to be much better in all abilities that they possessed.
