2564 Poisoned Chalices (Part 2)
What the heck was that lovey-dovey act with that Fomor? Friya beat Faluel to the punch, speaking first the moment they reached the artificial cave where Lith and the others were waiting for them. I get that its your legacy we are talking about, but we all risked our lives for this.
I dont care about their sob story. Those monsters are still a bunch of murderous bastards that tonight will dine on the people of the Kingdom. Are you really so dumb that you cant hold it in your pants the moment a beautiful woman makes her move on you?
What woman? Quylla asked while staring at Morok.
His expression was serious like she had never seen him before but there was no hint of shame or guilt on his face.
This would take too long with words so please give me your hand. The Tyrant took Quyllas hand and slapped Friyas away. This is about my family. Im going to discuss it with my fiance first and then with you guys.
A mind link and a full explanation later, Quylla went pale.
Good gods. She said while conjuring a rock to sit down. Feel free to tell them everything. I just need a bit of time to recover.
A second mind link later, Lith was sitting next to Quylla and was no less pale than her.
Garriks story hit him even worse than Morok.
An abusive father, a protective older brother, and a helpless little brother were the story of Derek McCoys life. He was so upset that his human body twitched from time to time and part of it shapeshifted into one of his other forms.
Calm down, Lith. Solus spread her aura in the telepathic equivalent of a warm embrace to soothe his restless spirit. That boy is not Carl and he is currently safe. Glemos is already dead and cant hurt him anymore.
Her words both calmed his nerves and made him wish that Ajatar had killed Glemos slowly instead of giving him a quick death.
Even if the monsters reject our offer, we can always set a meeting with Ryla and escort her and Garrik to safety. Whatever you decide to do, Ill help you however I can, even if that means revealing the towers existence to Morok.
Thanks, Solus, but that shouldnt be necessary. Lith sighed, slowly regaining his cool.
I never thought Id say this, but thank the gods Elysia is not a boy. She thought in a corner of her mind, where Lith couldnt hear her. I cant imagine what would happen if anything close to a threat were to befall the baby and trigger Liths trauma.
Listen, kid, Im sorry for your little brother, I really am, but-
You did the right thing. Lith cut Ajatar short and made everyone else gasp in surprise. If you need help busting Garrik out of Zelex, you can count on me.I think you should take a look at NovelFull.com
Thanks, but it would be too dangerous. Morok shook his head. First, the two of us arent enough to keep thousands of monsters at bay and protect a child at the same time. Second, then what?
You heard Ryla. If Garrik steps outside of the mana geyser even for one second before he reaches adulthood, his life force could fail to stabilize forever. On top of that, even if Zelex wasnt surrounded by a space-compressing array, the nearest mana geyser is too far away for a Spirit Steps.
Wed need a Warping array, but all it takes to shut it down is an ore shaman with a crystal or a Balors wings.
Can we do it with a Tower Warp, Solus? Lith asked.
NovelFull.com Assuming that we have enough space and privacy to conjure it, maybe. Theres no telling if the tower core can overpower the arrays nor if theres enough world energy available to do it.
The Tyrants devised Zelex so that not even a single speck of energy can escape its premises. Its possible that the tower cant tap into the geyser at all so I wouldnt rely on it until we made sure.
This is a mess. Quylla whimpered, holding her head between her hands. It will likely screw up the whole ceremony.
Im sorry, babe, but our marriage will have to be postponed until I dont find a solution for this issue. Morok knelt down, taking her hands into his own. I dont give a damn about Jiera, the Harmonizers, and even the Tyrants bloodline legacy but I cant leave the kid in the Undead Courts hands.
Lets be real, if the monsters side with the undead, Garrik will be the first to be sacrificed for his Harmonizer. Everyone will hate him just because hes Glemos son.
I said ceremony, not marriage, silly. Quylla cupped his face while looking him in the eyes. I was thinking about all the hoops well have to jump through to let your brother attend. Also, explaining how Ive gotten myself a mother and a brother-in-law at the last minute is bound to cause a scandal.
In-law? Morok echoed.
I know that Ryla isnt your mother, but if you want to make Garrik part of your life she has to be included as well. Passing her for your mother would ensure them both the safety they need and avoid explaining your complicated family tree to the rest of the Kingdom.
Damn, woman, Ryla was right. Morok embraced her, happy that she was not only willing to accept Garrik in their family but she was also including him in their plans for the future. You two are really going to get along.
The group left the couple a few minutes before scolding Morok again.
As I was saying, you screwed a perfect plan real good, kid. Ajatar said. The collapsed tunnel and the demons were meant to destroy away.
I know it was a gamble, but what else were we supposed to do? Ajatar said. The monsters had already accepted the deal with the undead. There was no time to slowly earn their trust.
