Chapter 1864: From the Rubble (Part 2)

"Come on, guys. This is too a good day to spend it holed up home." Salaark walked into the tower, forcing everyone to follow her outside. "I moved my capitol here just for you."

The Heavenly Plume city had relocated near one of the mountain ranges of the Desert. It cast shadows that were a rarity and that along with the presence of a huge lake lowered the temperature.

On top of that, trees and glades grew all around the lake, giving the Verhens a small taste of home. The kids weren't convinced, but the magical beasts were drawn by the foreign smells and the fresh water.

Aran and Leria would never let their furred friends go alone so they quickly followed them. Before they knew it, they were playing in the water and building sand castles with magic.

"Kids." Salaark said with a warm smile on her face as the sight of their smiles and the sound of their innocent laughter lightened the mood of the adults. "They are so weak and yet so strong."

Rena, Senton, and Tista decided to join them, bathing in both water and sun. Lith and Solus wanted to follow suit, but Salaark stopped them.

"I'm sorry, but I couldn't tell this in front of the others. Follow me, you have visitors. Do you want to receive them in my palace or your tower? They are all good friends."

"The tower, please. It will help Solus to recover faster." Lith replied.

Whoever the visitors were, he could always say that the building belonged to the Overlord and no one would have doubted it.

Salaark nodded, Warping them and their guests back into the tower's sitting room.

"Lith, thank the gods you are alright!" Quylla rushed to him, embracing him with so much strength that Lith actually felt it.

"Wow, little one, you have gotten really strong. You would have crushed a man's spine with that hug." Lith said.

"Yeah, sorry. I'm still learning how to control my strength and Spirit Magic. At least with people like you and my sisters I can afford to make mistakes."

Friya, Phloria, and Faluel were there as well, hugging Lith and Solus in turn and expressing their relief.

"How did you get here?" Solus asked.

"Warp Gates from the Kingdom are blocked, but the Council's Warping Arrays work just fine. The girls came to me and I brought them to you after asking Salaark's permission." The Hydra said.

"Sit down, Lith." There's something you should know." Phloria pushed him gently away but kept holding his hands and brought him to his favorite armchair.

Faluel took hot tea, a bottle of Red Dragon, and her delicious biscuits out of her dimensional amulet, arranging them in front of the tower's masters.

"This is going to be bad." Lith said, taking a cup of tea and spiking it with a few drops of liquor.

"Very bad." Solus added one drop but filled her saucer with biscuits, munching them nervously.

Then, the four women took turns sharing with them the events that had taken place in the Royal Court the previous day. How the Royals had confronted Morn to a standstill until Jirni's and Kamila's arrival with their allies had turned the tables.

"I want you to know that everyone fought for you like a lioness defending her cubs, even Peonia." Phloria said with a grunt.

"Why are you angry with Peonia?" Lith asked.
