| abstract | - According to The Five Maidens, the Well of Awakenings was the oldest and strongest focal point of Chiryoku in Tougenkyou. The pool was allegedly the heart of Tougenkyou, and one of Kami-sama's sources of power brought into the physical realm. Popular to contrary belief that Kami-sama brought the Kenmeiotome and the Tenshi into existence with a mere thought, the Well of Awakenings was also the actual birthplace of the first and second-generation Kenmeiotome and Tenshi. It was Tougenkyou's most guarded secret, as it was found in the innermost sanctum of the Sanctuary of the Guardians, just beyond the room of Yuu Hoshiko's former Crystal Tomb. Yuu Hoshiko revealed to Mariko Kori and Itazura Kori that the Well of Awakenings possessed the ability to grant chosen individuals the power to use Chiryoku after they had bathed within the pool. However the process was a double-edged sword since the Well could potentially consume the individual and erase them from existence if their bodies resisted the transformation. Kiyoko Takara and Ayane Emiko later revealed that the Well of Awakenings primarily acted as the afterlife for the Kenmeiotome and the Tenshi, where the souls of all the deceased go to after dying. However, this does not apply to Fallen Kenmeiotome and Datenshi because they denied the benevolence of Kami-sama in the pursuit of power. Instead, the souls of the Fallen Kenmeiotome and Datenshi were sent to the Halls of the Reaper, where their souls will be subsequently judged and destroyed for their transgressions. Since the Well of Awakenings was an extension of Kami-sama's body, it served as the beginning and end for all of Kami-sama's children. It was because of these facts that the Well of Awakenings was only known to The Five Maidens and the now deceased Twin Tenshi Deities, Michael and Lucifer.
