Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2573

2573 A Different Power (Part 1)

"Inside the tower, Solus and I make the rules of magic. I'm asking your permission because this course of action means revealing the existence of the tower to Morok, Ryla, Garrik, and maybe the monsters that might survive after the Council storms Zelex.

"Morok is an idiot, I barely know Ryla, and I've never met Garrik. Even if it's just the three of them, my safety might get compromised and in turn yours. Once Elysia is born, you'll be fair game like anyone else so I can't take this decision without you."

"I'm proud of you." Kamila stood on her tiptoes to give him a soft kiss. "Yes, you have my permission. Putting my life in the hands of an idiot and a child is a bit scary, but I know how much this means to you.

"Morok is not Derek and Garrik is not Carl, yet you can't turn your back on them. Not when their mother is fighting tooth and nail for them, just like you always dreamed your Earth mother would. Like Elina does."

"Damn, I'd never thought I'd be grateful to the Void for making me tell you the truth about my past." Lith hugged her, feeling both her love and sincerity. "Thanks to that, I don't need to hide anything from you. You know me. The real me. All of them."

Lith chuckled.

"You have no idea what it means to me not feeling alone anymore."

"You've never been alone, silly man. Kamila gently caressed his back and hair. "Remember what the Voidfeather Dragon told you. There are a lot of people who love you. It's you who keeps them out.

"You better listen to his words if you want to make peace with him." Kamila blinked a few times in sudden realization. "Wait a second, why are you discussing this with me without Solus? The decision affects her life and safety as well."

"That's because-"

"You already talked with her and she gave you her permission!"

"Yes, but-"

"That's it, we need to talk." She pushed him away gently, "First, the Void goes rampant to give Solus an out and now the Voidfeather is willing to fight a whole city for her?"

"Uhm, yes. Hey, how are your English lessons going? I remember you wanting to learn a secret language to share with Elysia." Lith said, trying to change the subject.

"Don't you try to change the subject!" Kamila angrily poked at his chest. "You don't have split personalities, only suppressed feelings. What am I supposed to think of all this?"

"That I've known her for almost my entire third life, that she's bound to me for life, and that she's very important to me? I mean, she's always in my head. We talked about what to do right after Morok told us about Garrik.

"I didn't leave you out of the conversation, you just weren't there." Lith said apologetically.

"Fine. I forgive you. This time." She growled in a very Draconic way, her teeth turning into fangs and her skin into scales with anger. "I too really like Solus. It's just that if not for the lack of sex, your relationship sounds too much like marriage for comfort."

'I could tell her that's exactly what Solus and I joked about since we met. Too bad that then Kami would have to kill me.'Lith thought.
