Chapter 1597 - Back And Forth (Part 1)

"On top of that, Aylen was the first to become a Lich after the fall of the Odi race and the one who spread the secret to achieve Lichhood in the magical community. All the Liches on Mogar are her indirect creation. Their existence is just the result of a ripple that Aylen caused."

Blood Desert, Heavenly Plume tribe, a few days later.

Whenever Lith wasn't practicing with the white crystals or his Origin Flames, he kept in contact with the White Griffon and with Xenagrosh. The former kept him informed on the investigation about the copycat, while the latter was mostly a social call.

Lith was deeply grateful for what Tezka had done for Aran and Leria. He wanted to get to know better the Abomination members of his odd extended family and was eager to meet Sinmara again.

"You are the one in the Blood Desert. Why do you ask me what Sinmara is doing instead of talking with her yourself?" Xenagrosh asked.

"Because you are the only one with her contact rune. Grandma always contacts her with a mind link and Sinmara is so busy that I didn't meet her once during my stay in the palace." Lith replied.

"So, Salaark is Grandma and I'm just Xenagrosh?" She pouted.

"No offense, but I met you what? Thrice? Isn't it a bit early for monikers?"

"Four times, actually. At the Council, during Night's attack, for your birthday, and at Sinmara's place!" The Shadow Dragon said.

"I don't really count the second time because we didn't exchange a single word. You arrived and left like the wind." Lith scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Point taken." Xenagrosh sighed. "If you feel awkward calling me big sis, you can at least call me Zoreth, like all my friends do."

"What does that mean?"

"It's my real name." She chuckled. "The one I was born with."

"Okay, Zoreth. Let me know if I can do anything to help you prepare something special for the Master's wedding." Lith's words put a big smile on her face.

"What about a few Camellias? I heard they are quite the rage in the Kingdom. A lot of people want them but- Too soon?" Xenagrosh said after his face twisted into a grimace of bitterness.

"Too soon, sorry."

"No problem, I'll think about something else. Zoreth out."

Lith put the communication amulet away with a sigh. He turned around, finding Solus's face floating just millimeters away from his own in what was supposed to look like an angry pose.

"Can we please stop working? Just for one day? This was supposed to be a vacation!" Her foot tapped the air, yet it produced a noise that reverberated throughout the tower.

She stood straight as an arrow with her arms crossed and puffed-out cheeks, looking simply adorable to his eyes. The more time they passed together over the mana geyser, the more Solus recovered her delicate features that along with her diminutive stature made her too cute to be intimidating.
