Chapter 1268 - Copycat (Part 2)

Jirni let the god of death rant while she checked on Manohar’s position. She already had two gods dancing on the palm of her hand and Jirni was eager to discover if she could get a third.

Lith’s house, Village of Lutia, a few hours later.

"We are about to have some tea, dear. Would you mind joining us?" Elina asked after knocking on Lith’s door.

"Thanks, Mom. We’ll be there in a minute." Tista replied while hugging her mother.

No matter how angry they got at each other, it wouldn’t last long. Elina loved her children too much to hold a grudge for more than a few minutes.

"I’m sorry for earlier." Elina said while returning the embrace. "Between Orpal’s death, your brother almost dying again, and hearing how much you suffered, I wasn’t thinking clearly. Gods, why did all of this have to happen at the same time?"

Tista would have liked to say that Orpal was bad news in more than one way, but it would have achieved nothing but hurt her mother more.

"I’m sorry too, Mom. I shouldn’t have said all those things." She actually said.

"Don’t think for a moment that I’ve forgotten about all the bad things that your brother has ever said and done to you." Elina let go of Tista and took Lith’s face between her hands.

"I haven’t forgiven him either. Pretty words are cheap. Yet if he really has changed, then he deserves to be at least part of my life if you don’t want him in yours. Are you willing to help your stupid Mom to make sure it’s not all an act?"

"First, you’re not stupid, Mom, you’re just too kind for your own good." Lith didn’t have a shred of resentment toward her. There was a reason why Mogar took her semblance in front of him.

If not for Elina, Lith would have never cared about anyone but himself. Her unconditional love had quelled the abyss inside of him back when he was trapped inside his infant body and kept his fury at bay until he had met Solus.

Even after learning that Lith was a hybrid and maybe not even her son, Elina had been the first member of the family to accept him.

"Second, you don’t even have to ask. I’ll help you to the best of my abilities, but you have to promise me that you’ll keep an open and clear mind. The truth is pointless to those who refuse to see it."

"I promise." Elina hugged him, making sure once again that he wasn’t hurt in any way.

The rest of the day passed uneventfully. After an awkward start, the mood of the Verhen family returned to normal. Later, that evening, Lith informed Vastor of the threat that Zinya’s parents posed to her and asked Kamila to thoroughly investigate Orpal.

He also contacted his friends and arranged a meeting for the following day at Solus’s tower.

They met at dawn since both parties had many things to say and knowledge to share. Quylla went first, sharing the events inside the Fringe, what they had learned about how to communicate with Mogar, and the new magic they had learned.

Friya had become a Gravity Mage while Quylla had become the first human true mage and even dabbled in Light Mastery now.
