Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1425

Chapter 1425 - Filling the Void (Part 1)

After learning what had happened to her youngest son, Faluel had closed herself inside her lair for a few days to grieve him.

The Council felt guilty for what had happened and offered her reparation. After all, had they intervened when Vladion had requested their help, maybe they would have exposed Xedros’s mad plan and many of their youths would still be alive.​​

Sedra wasn’t the first child Faluel outlived yet she didn’t resent them any less. She blamed the Council in general and all the Guardians’ bloodlines in particular for their carelessness.

From Lith’s report, it was clear that the Father of all Wyverns would have never succeeded if not for so many like-minded Emperor Beasts treating their apprentices like the sc.u.m of Mogar.

After the events in the Eclipsed Lands, the Council had decided to rediscuss the rules and the protections regarding their youths, hoping to find a way for such a tragedy to never happen again.

Qisal the Wyvern ended up taking his father’s place as he had always wanted. The Wyvern’s bloodline needed a new elder in the Council and his older siblings had no d.e.s.i.r.e to get mixed with politics.

Yet they wanted to stand tall among their peers and to get rid of the mark of infamy that Xedros had cast upon them all so they taught Qisal both the secret of the violet core and the basics of Spirit Magic.

During that time, Faluel accepted only the visits of her friends, like Feela the Behemoth, and of Lith.

Even in her grief, she knew that between the traumatic events that he had lived, the metamorphosis of the violet core, and the break up with Kamila, the young Tiamat needed all the guidance he could get.

With Scarlett and Kalla gone, there was no one that she trusted enough to care for him more than they did for political plays. Feela was a great woman, but her seat in the Council affected all of her actions and, in his weakened status, Lith was easy prey.

"I know this is the stupidest question in Mogar, but I have to ask it anyway. How are you feeling today?" Lith had gone to visit her two days after his break up yet Faluel had learned about Sedra’s fate from Kalla three days back, the same night he had left Lightkeep.

"Like crap. You?" Faluel slouched on her favorite couch, surrounded by bottles of alcohol and plates of sweets.

"Same. Hope this helps. Be careful because it’s cold." Lith offered her a huge bowl filled with some kind of thick cream.

Half of it was deep brown while the other half was milky white and both were covered in chocolate ch.i.p.s.

"What’s that thing?" She could smell a sweet scent filling her nose.

"I call it ice cream. It works miracles after a break up so I thought it might also help you with grief." Lith replied while taking one of Faluel’s bottles.

He took a bowl for himself out of his pocket dimension, sprinkling abundant Red Dragon over the ice cream, mixing them together before using round chocolate cookies to scoop the ice cream.

"Isn’t it early for drinking?" Faluel asked.

"The sun has set for a couple of hours already. It’s late enough for me."

She had lost track of time, but being close to the winter solstice, darkness would fall early. Faluel followed his lead nonetheless, tasting the weird dessert with and without the alcohol.

"Good gods, it’s delicious. Have you ever thought about selling ice cream?"

"I did, but the recipe is too simple. Any magico could make it and I would lose the exclusive faster than you can say seconds, please." Lith replied.
