Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1598

Chapter 1598 - Back And Forth (Part 2)

"She is the first friend you made after Tista so yes. I already talked to Mom and Dad and even though they are not really okay with the idea of us hanging out with an undead they agreed to it.

"As you can see, I've listed all the activities that I know you would enjoy." Lith said.

Solus noticed that he had organized a visit to the Eclipsed Lands to pick up Nyka and meet Kalla again, to watch her favorite movies, to throw her a party, and many other things.

Solus's eyes veiled with tears, moved at the thought that despite his chaotic life, the very little free time he had due to his magical research, and the recent terrible events Lith had never forgotten about their anniversary.

On top of that, he had put a lot of thought to turn what until a year back had been just a private event into a party to share with all the important people in her life.

"Would you guys really do all of this? For me?"

"We already prepared everything, silly girl." Elina said while walking inside the room along with Raaz, Rena, and Senton.

Lith had called her via the communication amulet before opening the Warp steps, to avoid embarrassing situations.

"You are now part of this family, Solus." Raaz hugged her, gently caressing her head. "The day you came into Lith's life it's also the day you came into ours. You have worked so hard from the shadows to make our life better without even receiving so much as a thank you.

"Even if you asked me to go to the moon for your birthday, I would do it because you deserve it and so much more. This is not just our opportunity to celebrate your coming, but also to show you how much you mean to us."

"Thank you so much, Dad." Solus sniffled while returning the embrace.

"So, he is Dad and I'm just Elina? You are being unfair." Elina took Solus in her arms and kissed her forehead. Her voice and her words didn't match, holding only motherly warmth.

"I'm sorry, Elina. Even though I have only one memory of Mom, it is very precious to me. Threin, instead-" A sudden flash appeared in front of her eyes, cutting her short.

She saw a young version of herself that couldn't be older than four years, holding a brush. She was sitting on the lap of a lean man in his late twenties, about 1.6 meters (5'3") tall.

He had green eyes, long light brown hair in a ponytail, and a nose a bit long. He was wearing a worn-out shirt and pants, both covered in stains of paint old and new. Solus could see the child trying to color the spaces inside the black lines of a drawing that the man had prepared for her.

Yet the little girl was so clumsy that, when she was done painting them, trees looked like broccoli, flowers looked like stains, and even the sun looked as if someone had smeared an egg yolk on the canvas.

"You are a better artist than papa, Epphy." Threin said while guiding her hand to the best of his abilities. "We must hang this in Mom's workshop so she will never forget what the sun looks like."

"Really?" Baby Solus puffed her chest out with pride while watching her masterpiece.

"Daddy is a professional, so you can trust my word. If you ever get bored of magic, you'll make into a great artist." Threin turned her around to watch Solus in the eyes and she used the opportunity to dip the brush in the palette and paint his lips red as if it was make-up.
