Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2489

2489 Heavy Shadow (Part 1)

"How do you feel today? Sinmara was Salaark's second in command and Lith's assigned babysitter whenever his family was otherwise occupied.

The relationship between the two was still strained after the War of the Griffons but the prolonged cohabitation and her tender care were slowly smoothing things over. Lith could hold a grudge for a very long time but being ungrateful was out of the question.

"Better. He flexed his arms and fingers before performing a few basic exercises with War. "My arms are back at 100%. The amputation had no long-lasting effect whatsoever."

"Then why do you say it like it's a bad thing?" Sinmara frowned at his dejected tone. "Because I can still feel it. I can still feel Jormun's and Phloria's blood dripping on my right hand. I hoped that one trauma would have canceled the other or at least that after losing my arm, my brain would understand that it has no fault. Lith replied.

"I'm sorry. I know that I should've helped you but-" "I wasn't trying to guilt trip you. Not this time." He added after a brief pause. "When can I go back to my regular life?

"One second." Sinmara used her breathing technique, Forgotten Star, to check on his condition. "T'd say yesterday, but if you want some more free time, I can extend your sick leave:

"No, thank you. I love the Desert, but I really miss my home.

"Strong words for someone who spends most of his time inside the tower? She shrugged.

Lith opened his mouth, but there was too much to say and it was too personal to share it with someone he resented.

Because of the fusion, I've accessed Solus' memories and feelings. I shared her inner turmoil about our relationship, the joy of being reunited with me, and the fear of losing me.

She's gone for weeks yet now she's inside my head like it didn't happen for years. I love staying in the tower because it helps her core and life force to recover. Also, every room is full of beautiful memories we made together:

The ground floor of the tower was now permanently arranged in the form of their dream house and Lith couldn't bear the thought of it having any other way.

His family rejoiced at the good news about his health, especially Solus.

"Thank the gods! How is Death Vision? Did it get any better?" "I have no clue." Lith shrugged. "Maybe it's because of Grandma's presence, but I never had to hold Death Vision back in the Desert. Everyone always looks normal when we stay here. By the way, how come you visited me so rarely?"

Solus blushed up to her ears, mumbling gibberish in a tone too low to be audible. Then, she pretended to hear Aran and Leria calling her name and ran away.

"By my Mom, how can I tell him that the prolonged fusion made a mess of my feelings? I now know every damn thing about him and he knows everything about me. including the things I shared with Nyka and Tista during our trip.

It's so embarrassing that it's hard to even look him in the face

"I'm happy for you, babe, and a little sad about the end of our unexpected vacation." Kamila gave him a soft kiss. "For the first time since I've known you, there was nothing to worry about.

"Your life force could only improve, there was no enemy waiting for us back in Lutia, nor some deadly mission you had to undertake upon your return. This was my first real vacation, with no deadline nor death threat. She chuckled at her own joke.

"That's wonderful news, dear!" Elina hugged him, sobbing. "My little baby's life force is finally better"
