Supreme Magus

>To us. ”

”I will. ” Lith lay back on the bed, dragging her with him while wrapping her with his wings.

Amid his warmth and the feeling of safety that being embraced like that gave to her, Kamila started to fall apart.
The idea of the danger she had gone through just a few minutes ago hit her like a truck.

Life had never felt so beautiful yet so frail and the idea of how high the stakes had become made her finally burst into tears.

It took the couple hours just to calm down and for their brains to start working properly again.
By the time they came out from their living quarters, it was almost dinnertime and the Overlord ’s living room had never been so crowded.

Lith ’s friends and family were just a drop in the ocean of guests surrounding them.
The descendants of the Guardians had taken human form to save space and kept their wings wrapped around their shoulders like mantles to allow the humans to distinguish between Phoenixes and Dragons.

”Thank the gods you are here! ” Solus was the first to welcome them, squeezing them in a hug that was as violent for Lith as it was delicate with Kamila.
”What took you so long? I almost died with worry. ”

”Thanks, Solus. ” Kamila returned the embrace, sighing in relief.

She had been worried about how Lith ’s other important half might take the news and that the baby might break the delicate balance between the three of them.
Seeing that Solus was as scared as they were, moved Kamila ’s heart.

”What were you worried about? ” Lith whined while struggling to breathe.
”That we would pick the name without you? ”

”No, I mean, now that you mention it, it would ’ve been really rude of you, but that ’s not the issue, yet. ” Solus was still struggling with the events of that day, but she couldn ’t allow herself to freak out until she solved the crisis at hand.

”What are we going to do to protect the baby? Staying here is dangerous, yet Grandma refused to both listen to me and warn the two of you. ”

”Dangerous? ” Kamila echoed in disbelief.
Usually, Salaark ’s palace was one of the safest places on Mogar, but with three Guardians and a few brigades of Divine Beasts there, it would have taken a planet extinction event to put a dent in its defenses.

Maybe.

”Protect them from what? ” Lith asked.

”Are you telling me that you still don ’t know? ” Solus looked at him like an idiot.
”The baby is Awakened and so is Kami! Having them over such a powerful mana geyser might harm them. ”

”I ’m what? ” Kamila blurted out.

”Nonsense. ” Lith said.
”I missed the embryo because it ’s the size of a small bean, but I check on Kami regularly and until yesterday she was a regular human. ”

He activated Demon Grasp to prove Solus she was wrong yet found that Kamila ’s core had gone from deep to orange and had an amazing mana flow.

”I ’ll be right back. ” He turned toward the liquor table and then fainted head first on the ground.

When he returned to his senses, Lith was laying on a couch with a wet towel on his forehead.
He was surrounded by several male Phoenixes and Dragons who patted his shoulders and expressed their sympathy.

”No need to feel embarrassed.
The first time is always the hardest.
If it ’s of any consolation, it gets easier with time. ” A silver-winged Dragon said.
