"I’m in quite a pinch. Call Friya, please. She needs to hear this as well." Lith said.
After Lith finished telling them about the latest events, Friya was on cloud nine.
"In your face!" She pointed at Tista, Quylla, and Phloria in this order. "Serves you well for calling me the less skilled in the group. My baby is worthy of the Magus’ title! I can’t wait to tell Mom and Dad."
"To get yourself a nice collar and a leash of matching color?" Lith said with a sneer. "I left you out of it not to hog all the glory so much as to not force you to choose between your family and your apprenticeship.
"Helping a fellow disciple with his project is one thing, disclosing to someone else the Forgemastering techniques and the hammer that Faluel bestowed upon you is another."
"Oh, shit!" Friya suddenly remembered about her blood pact with the Hydra. Betraying her master’s trust would cost Friya her life.
"Oh, shit indeed." Faluel glared at her. "You are not allowed to share with anyone what I teach you. You need my consent even to share anything that you learn by yourself during the apprenticeship. I made myself pretty clear back when you accepted my deal, remember?"
"Yes, master, but the dimensional runes I used for the DoLorean I learned them at the academy and I didn’t show Lith how I combined that knowledge with your Forgemastering techniques." Friya said.
"Well done, but remember that your family is one of the great pillars of the Griffon Kingdom. If your parents pressure you, will you be able to deny their request? That Royal Forgemaster wand you hold is both a gift and a chain." Faluel said.
Friya clenched her fists, torn between her filial duty and her own ambitions.
"Thank you, Lith. If not for your thoughtfulness, I might have been forced to give up on the only means that I have to practice Spirit Magic and Forgemastering spells." Friya said while looking at the silver wand as if it was a venomous snake that might bite her at any moment. freeweɓnovel.cøm
"No problem. I just needed to warn you about the dangers that being one of the makers of the DoLorean poses." Lith said.
"No time for brooding, Friya. Your body may be strong for a human, but compared to an Awakened you’re as weak as an infant. You need quality to make up for what you lack in quantity.
"The same applies to everyone else. Tempering your body is the only way to increase your chances of survival, be them in battle or during a breakthrough." Faluel said, shooing everyone back to the training grounds in the middle of the cave.
"Not you, Moron." She grabbed Morok by the collar of the shirt, stopping him in his tracks.
He had been in a deep meditative state, wondering about the marvels of magic as he followed Quylla and stared at her tight a.s.s.
"That’s not my name!" He said while he lost sight of the prize.
"That’s up to me to decide, whelp. I didn’t bring you in here to enjoy yourself, but because your master asked me to help you. Is it true that you unlocked your fifth eye and yet you still refuse to Awaken?" Faluel asked.
"Yes to both. Opening the eye was a child’s play thanks to the Fringe and Awakening still looks more like a curse than a blessing." Morok replied.
