Chapter 10 Mountain Tears

• The crystal moon took its full size and its glorious brightness filled the great city. Sea creatures gathered in their hundreds to watch the crystal moon grow bigger and its brightness was exceedingly great, it brightness near blinding and the Sea Creatures couldn't look upon it for much longer. It was time they each returned to their homes and rested and as they all retired to their homes, the Tideian made his way to the Sea Mountain, the crystal moon glow eased into his body, the Tideian marks scattered about all over his body each creating a spiral returning to the crystal moon, the Tideian soon became as bright as the crystal moon even his eyes glowed like the moon and then he was ready.
• Having made it to the Base of the mountain, he began to summon the falling Tears into the many Golden jars he had made to appear, each creating a circle around the Tideian. The Mountain Tears began to drop into the Jars, its divine sparkle twinkled like millions of sea pearls.
• For nine hours, the Tideian gathered the Tears, he could feel his soulpearl weakening and he knew it was almost time before the Crystal Moon disappeared and the Mountain Tears would stop. Once the tenth hour stroked he fell on his knees panting from exhaustion as he tried to calm his soulpearl and regain his strength. The process lasted for another hour then he was standing up and sealing the Golden Jars with the seal mark of a Tideian one that can only be broken by the Elder of Elders or by the Elf's oldest physician. He was on the last jar when he suddenly remembered his promise to Roan. He hadn't done this before and so he didn't understand how he was supposed to do this if he was even supposed to do it at all. It was a dangerous decision, one that could lead to his dishonor and even being stripped of his title.
