Darkness.
For a while, this was everything Valyr saw before him.
It didn't matter if he moved his head or his body.
After all, the only thing that greeted him was pitch-black.
Realizing this, the young man gave up on moving about, instead thinking about the current situation he was in from another perspective.
'Is this the mory that's embedded within the fragnt?' asked the young man to himself, recalling the other few tis he had been subjected to an ever-consuming darkness before him.
One of those tis was when he had comprehended the Intent Seed of Shadow Energy. At the ti, a void existed for quite so ti in front of him, only for it to be filled with the destructive energy he knew as Shadow Energy.
Comparing his current situation to that ti, the darkness in front of him seed empty, as if it was there just for the sole purpose of filling the gaps of what was previously in its place.
On the other hand, the darkness that preceded the birth of Shadow Energy during his comprehension seed intentional.
In a way, he felt that the darkness back then was the origin of the Shadow Energy he wielded.
'I see.' Pondering over it for a bit more, a look of realization eventually flashed across Valyr's face.
'The other mory fragnts contain the part of the mory that's currently replaced by darkness.'
Of course, with the other mory fragnts not in his possession, Valyr knew that his conclusion ca mostly from his intuition.
But, for so reason, he felt that his idea was mostly true.
Whoosh!
After being surrounded by the darkness for a bit longer, light eventually appeared in front of him, engulfing all of the darkness in the process.
After that, other details began to appear amidst the light, taking on various colors as they slowly beca more detailed with the passage of ti.
What was initially blobs to Valyr's vision gradually beca less fuzzy, transforming into items that he could recognize from a glance.
By the ti all of the details seed to have fallen into place, it was only then did the mory seemingly begin.
Whoosh!
In less than an instant, all of Valyr's other senses were swiftly bombarded with additive details, allowing him to realize that he was currently subrged in what looked to be a small body of water.
However, even though he realized this, he did not feel like he was drowning while he was subrged.
Instead, he felt a slight sense of comfort as he took in the water, feeling like the cells making up his body were greedily consuming every bit he took in.
Step. Step. Step.
Just as he wondered whether this was everything that was contained in the mory fragnt, Valyr soon heard footsteps coming from afar, prompting him to turn his head in the direction of the sound.
At the very mont he did, he was greeted by the slightly blurry sight of a man in a white coat with a head of neatly-combed hair.
"It seems Specin NH-027-A is awake," muttered the man, staring directly into where Valyr's eyes were.
"From the looks of it, it seems to be developing well."
Hearing those words, Valyr felt a bit of confusion.
After all, from what he was currently experiencing, it didn't seem like the mory had anything to do with the quadrant leader he just killed.
Thankfully, it was at that very mont that everything clicked in his mind.
Ignoring the fact that the man was continuing to stare at him, Valyr took more notice of the surroundings, only for his pupils to shrink as he could not believe what he just saw.
Though he could not move his head to look at what was beside him, the young man could still more or less see the multiple large glass tubes that were erected behind the man.
In those glass tubes were humans with multiple cables and the like attached to many parts on their bodies, subrged in what looked to be sa type of fluid he was subrged in.
However, as he looked at them for a bit more, he realized that these humans were not humans at all.
Instead, these beings only resembled humans.
After all, all of these beings lacked a heart.
Gazing at the large gaping holes in the middle of their chests, Valyr eventually returned his attention to the man in the white coat, hoping to find out more about the current situation through the man's words.
Unfortunately, just as the man was about to open his mouth yet again…
Whoosh!
Valyr was returned to the empty darkness that surrounded him earlier, causing him to let out a low sigh in response.
'It seems I really do need the other fragnts to view the whole mory.' Having to experience the darkness yet again, it went without saying that Valyr's hypothesis was correct.
Letting out yet another sigh, he continued to dwell in his thoughts amidst the darkness.
'The part of the mory I could see is definitely not enough to paint the whole picture,' thought the young man to himself. 'Then again, even if it gave a lot of questions to think about, it did give an answer to sothing I was curious about.'
'The human civilization that existed before the Great Cataclysm has sothing to do with the enemies we've been facing in the inheritance.'
As this thought lingered in his mind, Valyr mulled over it for a bit more, hoping to possibly extract sothing else out of it through deduction and logic.
Sadly, no matter how much he tried, he could not infer any other piece of information from it. If anything, he had only gained more questions he wanted to know the answer to.
Such as the question of why the human civilization had created the enemies they faced in the first place.
'Guess I'm gonna have to change my plans.' Feeling that the darkness surrounding him was about to disappear soon, Valyr closed his eyes and allowed nature to take its course.
Whoosh!
In less than an instant, he felt all of his senses shift to another place, eventually feeling the soft sensation of the bed on his back soti later.
Opening his eyes after he was certain his senses had returned to the tent, the young man let out a faint sigh.
'Though I want to enter the Gates of Awakening with the others, I'm also curious as to what the entire mory holds,' thought the young man to himself.
However, just as he was debating whether to accompany the others or postpone it to a later ti to obtain the other mory fragnts…
An unexpected notification had appeared in front of him.
Ding!
