Supreme Magus

to listen to a distant voice.

Quylla snapped out of her reverie and told him all about Lith ’s condition and about how anything but Forbidden Magic had proven to be useless in fixing his life force.

”I don ’t get what are you worrying about.
Lith is an Awakened.
He will still live a long life for human standards. ” Nalrond shrugged.

”I stand corrected, you ’re worse than Morok.
He ’s unable to read the room whereas you just don ’t care! ” Quylla blurted out.

”Thanks, sweetie. ” Morok winked.

”Don ’t call me sweetie! ” She snapped.
”As for you, Nalrond, you should take your head out of your ass or I doubt you ’ll survive your meeting with Mogar.
Do you realize that if Lith didn ’t save Protector, you would have no place to stay?

”That despite your wise act, you are prone to judge others even when you don ’t know anything about them and that the only pain you really care about is your own? Sure, Lith might outlive me if I don ’t Awaken, but this isn ’t a matter of how long he lives so much as how well he lives.

”During my darkest hour, Lith has always remained by my side, doing everything he could to make me feel better.
Right now he feels fine, but what if after a fight the cracks in his life force spread? What if they get worse just with the passing of time?

”I don ’t care how tough Lith acts, I can ’t just sit around and hope for the best while knowing that my best friend is ill and that I could have made something to help him. ” Quylla then told him about Death Vision and how the fight against the Odi had almost cost Lith his life.

Hearing how heavy was the burden of others shook Nalrond to the core.

’Quylla is right.
I keep acting as if I know everything yet I am just a frog in the well.
What happened to me is tragic, but it ’s still nothing compared to what Solus had to endure.

’Back when we entered inside the Fringe, I underestimated the girls ’ burden and the three of us almost died for it. ’ He thought while looking at his own Soul Projection, representing an angry Rezar who always wept blood.

’I ’m so blinded by my pain that I quickly judged Friya only because her Projection resembles Acala ’s.

’I ’m so angry at myself for having failed my people, for having survived while the others died fighting that I vent my frustration on others the moment they fail to reach my expectations.
Every time I blame others, I ’m actually blaming myself. ’

”I ’m sorry for being so rude.
I ’ll ask your question first. ” Nalrond took a deep breath while mulling over those thoughts.

Much to his surprise, his Soul Projection calmed down and its tears turned from blood into water.
It was a small improvement, but Nalrond felt like a weight had been lifted from his chest.

”Dude, that was weak.
A real man doesn ’t even know the word sorry. ” Morok said.

”Guess that a real man can also start looking for a girlfriend somewhere else. ” Quylla said with a sneer.

”Yet he quickly learns it when the necessity arises. ” Morok rushed to say.

”How or why he ’s the only one without a Projection is beyond me. ” Friya said.

”Is there anything else I should ask Mogar? ” Nalrond asked.

’Can you please ask for a way to heal Solus? ’ Friya said via a mind link to not let Morok overhear them.

’I don ’t want to even think what might happen to her if she falls into the hands of someone who treats her like a slave.
Especially once she regains her human body. ’
