CH899 Truth, Endless Void of the Unknown
***
"As you know, there are three peaks to the path of power, each representing the state of Mana flowing within the body of each being gifted to walk the path of power—with each peak being a greater hurdle to ascend than the one before it.
"The Gas Peak represents assimilation, for it is the stage where mere assimilation of Mana into the body, in whatever form, defines the three ranks under this stage.
"Progress to and through the Liquid Peak is defined by comprehension, for gaining a personal comprehension of Mana, Concept, and Law defines the three ranks of this stage.
"And finally, the greatest difficulty of the three, the Solid Peak. It is defined by the elevation of self. One must truly comprehend oneself and the path they walk; only then can they seek the ultimate peak—Truth."
Uthvaazgol spoke, almost as if narrating a poem long since a part of time immemorial.
The Ancient Dragon looked down at Alex.
