Venerable Eyes of Destiny fell silent for a moment before letting out a long breath.
"Well, I can't see anything," he said, which left Aldrian stunned.
"More precisely, I couldn't see anything because what I saw was only blinding light. It hurt both my eyes and my soul. I didn't expect it to have that kind of effect," he added.
Aldrian looked at Venerable Eyes of Destiny for a few moments and nodded in understanding.
"Alright, thank you for the information, Teacher," he said before returning to his seat.
As Aldrian walked back toward his mat, he thought about Venerable Eyes of Destiny's words. He wondered what it was that the Venerable truly saw in him to react like that—because he knew the Venerable hadn't shared everything about his vision.
There was no way that simply looking at his light could cause such a reaction—fear mixed with reverence, as if he wanted to kneel and kowtow. But there was nothing he could do if Venerable Eyes of Destiny chose not to speak further.
