Other than the thrill, there was also confusion in Cain's eyes as he turned to Anark. Although there was no description of the time needed for each level, he knew he had just completed a fifth of the steps required to enter the Foundation Stage of the Primordial Path.

Although Cain's nature was not as easygoing as Anark's, there was no need to look for the cause right now, especially since he had a deadline.
