Chapter 1993 Mixed Blood (Part 1)

While the others were chit-chatting, Kamila's eyes fell on the figures of Solus and Nyka while they walked away and then on Rethia's.

'She's over one thousand years old and she barely looks thirty-something.' Kamila thought. 'I'll turn twenty-nine the next year whereas Lith will look in his twenties for decades, if not centuries. Should I ask him to Awaken me?'

On the one hand, it would have meant having a long life together. On the other hand, Awakening would have brought more problems than it would solve. Kamila couldn't stand the idea of becoming Lith's property for 100 years, like it had happened to Phloria a Tista.

On top of that, there was the possibility that with time their relationship might go sour. If it happened, she would be forced to live for centuries in a world that didn't belong to her anymore.

"Is anything wrong?" Tista grabbed Kamila's shoulder who yelped in surprise. "You have been spacing out for a while and you're sweating like crazy. Do you need to rest?"

"I'm fine, thanks. What were we talking about?"

"I was telling Rethia that I envy creatures like her who can choose between laying eggs and pregnancy." Rena said with a sigh. "After giving birth to the triplets, just the idea of repeating the experience sends a cold shiver down my spine."

"I wonder if Tista will have the opportunity to choose as well." Rethia pondered. "After all, we have no idea of Tiamats lay eggs, right?"

"Now we don't!" Tista flushed in embarrassment and rushed away, dragging Bodya the Nidhogg with her.

He had attended the wedding as her plus one and Tista didn't want him to get strange ideas.

"Calm down. You made it clear that you are no one's science project." His kind smile extended to his black eyes.

"I'm sorry, it's just that my parents are already pestering me to find someone myself and all those talks about love and relationships were more than I could handle." She sighed.

"They are non-Awakened humans." He replied with shrug. "They are aware they won't live long and rush things. Don't let their standards affect your life. You are not like them."

His words were meant to be kind and supportive, but they made Tista shudder. The more powerful she got and the more bloodline abilities she developed, the less human she felt.

She always tried not to think about it or about the fact that her parents would die before the first wrinkle appeared on her face but being surrounded by many centuries-old beings forced her to realize that her parents weren't really rushing things.

Tista was close to 21 years, an age that on Mogar was late to marry for humans.

"I'm sorry for spoiling your mood further, but there's something I need to ask you." Bodya said, snapping her out of her reverie. "Are you going to take part in the War of the Griffons?"

"Yes. Lith is fighting to get back all of our lives and I'm strong enough to stand by his side." Tista nodded, her determination steeled by the rumors about Linnea being among the Mad Queen's followers.

She had never forgotten about what the ex-Headmaster of the Lightning Griffon had done to Nana and Lith. The thought of her living happily after having destroyed the life of her mentor was unbearable.

"I want to help him kill Meln and get rid of a woman named Anela Linnea. Why do you ask?"
