Chapter 1811: New and Old Memories (Part 1)

"Good gods, am I that out of shape, or have you gained a few tons?“

The Blue Phoenix said after his back popped from the effort.

"Kind of both. Creatures your size are supposed to lift me with ease."

Solus nodded in Lith's direction while gently but ?rmly taking Aerth's h ands off of her.

The Phoenix may have remembered her clearly but she didn't, making t he sudden intimacy creepy.

"Oh, I'm sorry for my manners. I'm Aerth." He offered Lith his hand.

"Are you her boyfriend, husband, or something in between?"

"I'm Lith Verhen and I'm her partner."

"This is de?nitely a slang term I'm not familiar with. Damn, I need to g et out more." Aerth nodded. "Did Elphyn ever tell you how we've m et? She was really curious about the Phoenixes' mating ritual and I w as the lucky one she picked at a party."

"One of my acquaintances mentioned the ritual to me. What's so g reat about it?" Lith asked, out of scienti?c curiosity, of course.

"Well, Phoenixes are born and bred warriors. When we pick a mate, w e engage in a brutal and sensual ?ght that ends only once one of the c ontestants gets pinned to the ground. Then the winner mounts the l oser and-"

"By my Mom, we got the picture!" Solus cut him short while Aerth w as making explicit gestures.

Her face had turned to a shade of purple up to her ears and her voice h ad come out shrill and dry. She had remained frozen in e mbarrassment until she couldn't take it any longer.

"Who won?" Lith asked, always for science.

"She did, of course. Back then I was weak whereas she trained like a f reak due to what had happened to her father." Aerth said with a p ensive tone. "By the way, Elphyn, you are behaving in a very odd way.

"There's nothing shameful about what we did and everyone in the

Awakened community knows how the mating ritual works."

"Let me be crystal clear with you." Solus snarled at Lith for prying into h er past life. "I suffer from almost total amnesia. Whatever my mother d id to save my life, 1 fell into a slumber that lasted until 15 years ago.

"I go by the name of Solus now and everything you say doesn't ring a ny bell. You are just embarrassing me big time."

"Fascinating." The Phoenix said with a pensive tone. "This explains the f all in your magical strength, your increase in mass, and the altered p ersonality. Menadion must have bonded you to some kind of p hylactery to save your life but the procedure had unexpected side e ffects."

"Did you get all of this from a hug and an embarrassing anecdote?"

She asked in amazement.

"Well, Grandma said that he is good." Lith shrugged.

"Grandma? Then you must be that Lith Verhen." A light of recognition s hone in Aerth's eyes. "The Tiamat."

"The one and only." Lith shapeshifted into his true form while giving h im a bow.

Then, he explained Aerth the reasons for their coming.

"After meeting you for the ?rst time after all these years, I had hoped t hat you would come to me for more than a mere errand, Solus. You m ay not remember me, but even after we broke up, we still remained g ood friend friends.

"I‘ll gladly help you. Please, follow me." He led them through a series o f perfectly smoothened stone corridors.

"Is your father a Dragon?" Solus asked, impressed by how aloof and c ool-headed he was for a Phoenix. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}
