Fifty thousand years went by, a blink of an eye for Rowan, but for mortals, this was a very long time. Many generations of the Elythrii had gone by, and Rowan was watching the fascinating process by which many of his children, who were strong of will, were beginning to find themselves after they had died and returned multiple times.
Transformation was difficult, and for his children to become Origin Lifeforms, they would have to sacrifice something of themselves to reach this level, and there were remarkably few individuals who could keep their previous lives through the cycle of death and rebirth.
Rowan had expected that only when these new Origin Lifeforms attained true immortality at a higher-dimensional realm would they be able to reconcile all the memories of their past, and this would be what was needed for them to finally seize their fate and attain their destiny, and if they were lucky and tenacious, touch the ninth-dimensional realm.
