Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1054

Chapter 1054 Shapeshifting Part 2

"What do you think Faluel’s next lesson will be about?" Phloria had still mixed feelings about both Solus and Lith so she preferred to move back to neutral grounds.

"Not Light Mastery for sure." Nalrond said. "I’ve agreed to teach it only to Lith, Solus, and Faluel. No offense, but it’s the legacy of my people and I don’t plan on sharing it with strangers."

"None taken, but wow! Did you take rudeness classes or it’s just natural talent?" Friya said.

"I’m just being honest." Nalrond would have liked more beer, but he was starting to feel sleepy and the lesson could start at any moment.

"You were bound to find out and there was no way to sugarcoat the news. I thought it was better to put my cards on the table rather than act all mushy now and then drop them out of the blue."

"From a fellow Healer to another, you’re kind of a jerk." Quylla said.

"Thanks." Nalrond replied with a smile as if she had complimented him.

The group kept chatting until Lith’s Council amulet lit up.

"Playtime is over, kids. Get back here." Faluel was still in her Hydra form and her snake head spoke with a hissing voice that creeped them out.

The stark contrast between her human and Emperor Beast appearance only made her look like a monster out of a fairy tale. By the time they Warped inside Faluel’s lair, the lab counters were gone and she was back in her human form.

"I hope you had a good time and a pleasant meal because I sure did." She was wearing blue overalls with several silvery tools coming out of its front pocket and a black shirt underneath.

Her outfit and the sawdust amid her hair made Faluel look more like a carpenter than a mage.

"Do you have any quick questions before we start the lesson? Any doubts that came to your mind during lunch?" She asked.

"I have a few." Phloria said. "How does one become a Guardian and why do they turn into beasts after being appointed? Is there a meaning behind it?"

"You become a Guardian if Mogar chooses you." Faluel shrugged. "As for the rest, you got it wrong. They didn’t turn into beasts, they were all beasts to start with."

"What?" The Ernas sisters said in unison.

"Two continents and no human Guardian? How is that possible?" Friya’s question made Faluel chuckle.

"Good gods, you girls would fit perfectly in the Council right now. There is no human Guardian on the whole Mogar, just like there isn’t a plant Guardian nor an undead Guardian. Only beasts have ever managed to become one."

"What does this mean?" Friya said.

"Does Mogar discriminate?" Quylla asked.

"Are beasts the chosen race or what?" Phloria asked.

"I said quick questions, whereas those lead only to a philosophical debate that to this day has no answer. No one knows, sorry." Faluel said.

"I’ve got a quick one." Lith said. "Why there are only lesser Dragons? Are the other Guardians’ bloodlines purer, more stable, or what?"

"There aren’t just lesser Dragons. Do you remember Feela the Behemoth? Well, she’s a lesser Griffon. All Guardians’ bloodline can experience mutations that usually lead to a new and weaker species.
