Sylas had asked this question for a very specific reason. Even as he listened, the gears in his head were churning. And as expected, the answer he received was about what he anticipated.
[King Serpent's Ancestral Call] was an odd reward. It was technically a Template, though not quite that. It allowed him to call on an Ancestor of the World Serpent, using its Call to unearth the potential of one Contract.
The World Serpent was a creature capable of deducing the core meanings of a world and using that as a method of strengthening and empowering itself.
The Ancestral Call was an ability of the World Serpent to call upon its Ancestors, using this gift to deduce worlds and comprehend their potential for itself.
No wonder…
It seemed this was related to how the King Serpent had become a Sacred Beast. By all rights, there should probably be very few—if any—Sacred Beasts at all in existence right now.
