Raven was in slumber for three months straight. A testament of just how exhausted he truly was. He didn’t know that he slept for that long. To him, it felt like he just lied down and woke up the next day. If it weren’t for his wife telling him that he had been asleep for that long, he wouldn’t know. Raven didn’t return to his seclusion after he woke up. He instead enjoyed a brief vacation, spending time with his family and taking his mind off of seclusion. He also visited his office which had…-

“Everything’s fine, Princess.” Raven smiled to ease down Vanessa’s worries. “I believe your Mom already told you about the Crest of Order right?” Vanessa nodded. She indeed knew what its all about. Frankly, she was awed by this concept. She didn’t expect that her own mother would be able to wield this kind of power. That being said, it is also a heavy burden to carry. “The reason why you feel such a calling is due to your natural talents.” Raven explained. “By now, you should know…

“Mom? Has Dad come out recently?” “No, Sweetheart. He hasn’t gone out yet. Not even a shadow, really. Why? Do you need something from him?” “Not really.” Vanessa sighed, “I’m just getting worried you know? It’s been three years since the last time he came out. I’m starting to think that something happened to him.” Yes, that’s right. It has been three whole years since the last time Raven came out of his seclusion and spent time with his family. It has been that long since…

Raven sighed after discarding yet another failure. He looked over at his consciousness and saw that it’s filled with discarded sigil of his past attempts on cracking down the path to transcendence. How many was here, Raven can’t remember anymore. He has stopped counting since the counter went beyond the thousands. He pinched the bridge of his nose and decided to empty his thoughts for a bit. He had been experiencing bad headaches time and time again ever since he started this and with how little his…

With the seclusion of all Dawn Council Members over, there isn’t really much for them to do at this point. The council could function on its own with barely any need for their presence, this was already proven with their recent absence. The headquarters were fine and there’s not much paper work needed to be taken care of. Using this period of peace, the others decided that they should best spend it with family. And that’s precisely what they’re doing right now. All of them, minus Raven and…

Raven left Luna resting in their private chambers. He also informed their daughter that Luna’s out of her seclusion and is now resting. He knows that Vanessa missed her mom these days so he made sure to tell her how she’s doing. As for the rest of the team, they’re resting too. But for Raven himself, he wasn’t done, not yet. He probably won’t be for long time. He returned back to the throne room but instead of restarting with his research, he just closed his eyes and got immersed on his own…

“…I wonder what’s taking her so long?” Raven murmured as she stared at his wife who’s still deep in her immersion. It’s been two months since Mark’s breakthrough. Raven initially thought that Luna would also have hers a month earlier but it seems that this wasn’t the case. There had been no signs of her breakthrough just yet, not even a single fluctuation since she started. This was starting to worry Raven because something might’ve happened that he’s unaware of. Still he…

Laughing Dragon’s breakthrough served as a fuse that triggered the consecutive breakthroughs of the rest. A month after his Breakthrough, Anne began hers. Compared to Laughing Dragon, her breakthrough was more tame. She released strong fluctuations as well and also released a resplendent verdant light. Her aura resembled that of an Ancient Being, it was filled with kindness and matchless when it comes to the sheer vitality it carried. Anne was favored by Nature so much that the vitality she possesses…

“…yes, this is it!” “This is it but…it’s not enough.” Raven a momentary epiphany earlier so he rushed back to the throne room and did his best to take advantage of the momentary inspiration he had. The result was progress which definitely made him happy, but like he said earlier, it wasn’t enough. Not nearly enough. Still, it’s progress. By now, that inspiration took him one-step closer to his goal. He figured out the outline of the path he should take, one that he can guarantee to…

“…yeah, this one’s no good either.” Raven sighed as he wrapped-up yet another failure. He pinched the bridge of his nose and rested his back against his chair. He remained like that for a bit to ease-up his headache since god knows how tired he is. A full year passed by since the start of their seclusion. The rest aren’t showing any signs of waking-up just yet. Raven’s work also still hasn’t shown any positive signs either, everything he had tried so hard all lead to a dead-end. The whole…
