Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2239

Silverwing let her goddaughter go before giving Lith a deep bow.

"Thanks for everything you have done for Epphy. I've never been so happy to be completely wrong about someone. For that, I renew my apologies for how I treated you during our first meetings.

"Bonding with you saved Elp- I mean, Solus' life and it even gave her Ripha's seven streaks." Silverwing gently caressed Solus' head, passing her open hand through Solus' hair like a comb. "It's almost as if Ripha is still alive and she's staring at me.

"It makes our bond even stronger." She leaned her head against Solus', letting their multi-colored hair mix.

"Don't mention it." Lith replied. "Bonding with Solus saved my life as well. She owes me nothing. We are equal partners in our crazy relationship."

"I'm glad to hear it." Silverwing nodded, before standing in front of Kamila. "Please, take good care of them, of your child, and yourself. I beg you, don't repeat Threin's mistake."

"Respectively I will and I won't." Kamila swallowed a lump of saliva. "I'm no painter. I keep myself fit and train with magic for my work."

"I have faith in your judgment and in that of the Guardians, but I would still like to make sure." The First Magus said nearing her hand to Kamila's shoulder without making contact.

"Sure. I could use a one-hundredth opinion." She replied with a sigh.

She had been scanned by so many Guardians, Dragons, Phoenixes, and Awakened that she had actually lost count.

"Son of a Dragon!" Silverwing snarled at Lith after seeing the baby's life hybrid force.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm a lucky bastard, my daughter might be able to use Chaos if not all Cursed Elements, the perfect harmony of life and death, and so on. Am I forgetting something?" He said in annoyance.

He had heard the same things from so many Guardians, Dragons, Phoenixes, and Awakened that he had lost count.

***

Mogar's moon, Lith's tower, a few days later.

After enough time had passed, Lith had fully recovered his magical prowess and his life force was back to the peak of its strength. There was no risk that a sudden strain might compromise his lifespan anymore.

It was the reason he had attempted his first trip to his secret moon base and brought along family and friends.

"Good gods!" Quylla said, taking the words out of everyone's mind.

The silver plains in front of her extended as far as the eye could see. That, the nearby lake, and the many wildflowers growing around the tower made it look like out of a fairy tale.

"Can we please tell Morok about your tower? It's a shame that I can't share any of this with him." She said.

"Tell me about it." Kamila said with a sigh. "I would love to bring Zin here just like I know she would love this place. Yet I don't want to force her to choose between keeping my secret and keeping a secret from Vastor."

Yet she spoke while begging Lith with her eyes in a silent plea.

"I'm really sorry, Quylla, but you know how big Solus' secret is. Telling Morok and Zinya means compromising Solus' safety. I'm certain that they love you, but a simple slip of the tongue, especially during a quarrel, could spell disaster for us." Lith replied.

"I know." Quylla said with a sigh while Kamila just sighed.
