Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2155

Kamila couldn't make sense of the visions. Death was supposed to be the end of life and of a story alike. How could a man who had lived millions of light years away be related to the one she called husband?

The answer came as she witnessed Derek's soul entering another body, this time even more alien than the previous. Pain, isolation, and madness were the same, but at least they didn't last long.

This time, there was no mercy in his death, making Kamila gurgle and spit her saliva in an attempt of clearing the blood that in the shared memory was filling his lungs.

When she opened her eyes again, she immediately recognized Nana. She had seen the old mage only in holograms and Rememberers back when Lith had shared with Kamila about his past, but she knew Nana as well as if they had actually met.

The truth crept into her mind, but she refused to believe it. At least until she saw a younger version of Raaz, Elina, and their children.

Only then did reality flood Kamila's brain, crushing all the emotional defenses that she tried to conjure to deny the facts that were staring at her in the eye. She had always believed that Lith was really Lith.

That somehow, the soul of the newborn had found its way back into his own body. That the Abomination she knew as Lith Verhen had been unaware of his true nature until his meeting with Mogar in Kolga.

Instead, she was forced to witness his deceptions from the crib, no matter how much she tried to avert her gaze. Her eyes were closed shut, but as long as the mind link remained open, she had to face the truth.

Lith saw no point in withholding anything, so he showed her his first hunt, his first murder on Mogar, everything that she could've never understood without knowing about Derek.

Kamila felt the darkness inside of him crawling back into a corner of his mind as more and more lights entered his life, filling it with warmth and love. Yet it was never truly gone, ready to devour everything the moment one of the lights was threatened.

Elina, Rena, and Tista first, and then Solus. Raaz came only years later. Then his friends from the academy, his colleagues, Kamila herself, and so many others.

Kamila already knew most of his life, there were just a few blanks to fill. Like Lith sharing his secret with Kalla before becoming a Ranger and meeting Carl again in Kolga, refusing to reunite with his long-lost brother.

When the mind link was finally cut off, Kamila found herself kneeling on the floor. Her legs had given in first, followed by her eyes that had been crying so much that a small pool of tears had formed below her.

Her hands were still clenching Lith's as hard as she could in the attempt to push him away and put an end to the telepathic bond.

She wanted to run away, but her body refused to move. She wanted to scream, but her lips remained sealed as even breathing had suddenly become an arduous task.

"I'm of two worlds, Kami." Lith answered her silent questions that after being connected to her for so long he still felt lingering in his mind. "This is the third time I'm born, but no matter how hard I try, I can't stop my past from tainting my present."

The right half of his face crumbled, turning from flesh and blood of the man into a black slate made of darkness of the Abomination.
