Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1603

Chapter 1603 - Tower Gate (Part 1)

"I wonder if Nyka can stay awake here as long as we keep the artificial sun down or if the outside light element forces her to slumber during the day despite the tower's protection." Solus pondered out loud, snuggling on Lith.

Lying down on the grass like that made the height gap between them disappear while being finally alone and talking about something different from work reminded her of the times back when all they had was each other.

During all those years before Lith had come clear with his family, both he and Solus had suffered from the isolation, fearing that the people they loved would have rejected them, considering them monsters.

Yet at the same time, that very same isolation made their relationship deeper than words could express. Back then, it had been the two of them against the rest of the world.

Now that many people knew about their secrets, they weren't alone anymore. Their bond was as strong as ever yet their lives had drifted apart ever since Solus had gained her energy body and had refused to follow Lith during his dates.

They both had strived to break free of their co-dependency and to make space for other people in their lives. It had made them stronger, but it also left a bittersweet longing for each other.

"I guess there's only one way to find out." Lith shrugged. "I'm curious to see how Kalla and Nyka are doing. Also, if we return to the Eclipsed Lands, I would get the opportunity to ask Vladion when the heck he is going to deliver the information he had promised me."

"Sounds like a plan." Solus said.

The seconds passed without either of them saying anything. Then, she decided to talk about the elephant that had entered the room ever since they had visited Vastor's home.

"I think that Kamila would like it here as well. Why don't you bring her to the Greenhouse for a picnic and a heart to heart? I noticed how she looked at you. There was more sadness than rage in her eyes."

"That's why I'm going to stay away from her." Lith said, feeling his stomach churning. "You've seen what happened to Zinya because of me. Now she is safe because of Vastor, but if I get close to Kamila, that bastard might switch targets.

"After we broke up, the copycat left Kamila alone because he knows that the only way that he has to hurt me is to make her hate me, but if I approach her again, he might kill her at the first opening he gets."

Solus nodded, feeling guilty for what she had just done. She already knew the answer to her question and had only mentioned Kamila to test the waters. While they were so close, she had no need for a mind link to feel his emotions.

'Even if I had my human body, there's still no place for me in his heart.' She thought in a deep recess of her mind.

"You know, ever since Aalejah helped me gain my other forms, I can't stop thinking about Mogar's twisted sense of humor." Lith said, drawing her attention. "We are identical, yet so very different.

"We both died at a young age and lost our bodies. Yet you were given new life out of love whereas I got mine only out of the hatred I felt toward every living being in the universe.

"We are just like light and darkness, two sides of the same coin that ended up glued together out of sheer luck."

His human form disappeared, replaced by the lesser Abomination that bore the appearance of Derek McCoy. His IRS haircut danced in the air like a black flame while her golden long hair floated as if she was suspended in water.
