"Xenagrosh doesn’t have to worry about the Decay produced along with the Chaos because her black core feeds upon it whereas you would have to worry about both of them. Know that neither Guardians nor white cores use cursed elements.
"The only species that can safely conjure them are the Abominations and the Liches. Abominations for the reasons I just explained and Liches because their phylactery makes any kind of damage, even those to their minds, just temporary."
"I see." Lith decided to forget about Chaos magic unless he discovered something new and drew a comparison between Nalrond’s and Xenagrosh’s body.
’Maybe making Nalrond’s cores overlap like hers might be the first step to wear down the barriers between his human and Rezar life force.’ He thought.
After a nice helping of ice cream and giving the recipe to Xenagrosh as well, they all turned back in their respective human forms to enjoy a glass of Red Dragon.
Sinmara wore now a red blouse and black pants..
"I know that Mom probably wants you to join the nest, but if you enjoy your freedom as much as I did during my youth, you’d better turn her offer down." She said while slowly drinking the alcohol so strong that it could make a Guardian drunk.
"I would still like to take a look at the job. The Griffon Kingdom is full of problems and I’d like to have a place where to fall back if everything goes south." Lith said.
"Don’t worry. The next time I have a mission from Mom, I’ll bring you and Xenagrosh along so that you can see what kind of threats a high officer of the nest must face." She said.
"I’m sorry, what do you need me for?" Xenagrosh asked.
"I can’t focus on my job if I have to protect pipsqueak here." Sinmara chuckled. "I need you to ensure his safety."
"Then you can count on me." The Shadow Dragon replied.
On the one hand, more work was the last thing Xenagrosh needed. On the other hand, the opportunity to keep an eye on Lith and to learn the spells of a white cored Phoenix was too good to turn it down.
***
Trawn woods, Faluel’s lair, that same day.
Having her class more than halved allowed the Hydra to kick her disciples’ asses while also conducting several experiments at the same time. Protector had reached the bright blue for a while now and he needed to start learning Spirit Magic.
Aside from him, only Quylla and Nalrond took part in her classes. Being the only non-Awakened students, they needed to fortify their bodies to handle the power of true magic for their respective ends.
Quylla wanted to make sure to survive the Awakening process she was developing while Nalrond hoped that by making the physical prowess of his human body come close to that of the Rezar, the barrier separating them would weaken.
Friya had left for the desert already and Phloria was focusing on improving her mana core while also resting her body from the events of Urgamakka. The use of her blade tier spell combined with the Chaos energies she had withstood had taken a heavy toll on her.
"Excellent work like always, guys." One of Faluel’s seven heads said while the others were quarreling about some complex magical equations they couldn’t agree on.
"Since training is pointless without some real action, I’m sending you all into the field tomorrow."
