Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2615

Chapter 2615 True Natures (Part 1)

'Aalejah wouldn't be alone since I would send Solus with her but inside a Fringe it would never work. Aalejah isn't aware of Solus' powers and even if we trusted her enough to share our secret with her, that damn Soul Projection would expose Solus' presence.'

"Agreed." Morok nodded. "Since two of our main players are down, we'd better use this time to plan our next moves in advance. We need to have our audience with Mogar and we also have to attempt to negotiate with the elves. Both courses of action might require days.

"How do we want to play this? I mean, we can't just take turns with the ritual. It would take too long. Also, we can't let Aalejah go on her own. It's not just a matter of safety since she would be easily captured but also of authority.

"She can't speak in the name of the Council hence she can't offer them anything in exchange for their help. She needs to be accompanied by someone who can protect her and command respect even from a bunch of self-entitled jerks."

"My people aren't self-entitled jerks!" Aalejah replied in outrage.

"Oh, really?" The Tyrant replied with a scoff. "Have you ever met the guys who live here?"

"No." She candidly admitted.

"I rest my case."

"Enough." Ajatar stepped between them before the quarrel could escalate. "It pains me to say this but Morok is right. The Fringe is small so we can't stay here for too long.

"We have no idea if the elves can perceive the surges of world energy caused by the communion rituals and even if they can't, sooner or later their scouts are going to find us.

"Cloaking spells can buy us some time but…" Seeing that Aalejah had raised her hand and was waiting her turn to speak, the Drake nodded for her to start.

"First off, my people can perceive surges like those that Nalrond described. If it doesn't last long or we are far away enough, we can miss it, but a repeated event or if we are close there's no way the ritual goes unnoticed.

"Also, cloaking spells aren't going to do us any good. Even non-Awakened elves can use Soul Vision and there's no hiding from it." Aalejah bit her lower lip in hesitation, hating the idea of revealing the secrets of her bloodline.

'I can't put everyone's life at risk to protect someone that might as well kill me along with my friends. Also, this is an amazing opportunity for the elves to rejoin the outside world and stop hiding.

'It's not just a matter of helping Jiera but also coming out of our self-imposed exile after we lost the War of the Races.' She thought.

"Soul Vision? What's that?" Lith asked as Faluel tried to open her eyes and speak, but fell asleep again as soon as Ajatar pushed her head back on the pillow.

"It's what you get by channeling all elements inside your eyes instead of just one." She replied, seeing that everyone tried to do it. "It's not that simple, otherwise Awakened would have discovered it millennia ago.

"It's more like a bloodline ability since it requires you to perfectly fuse and harmonize the six elements. You can't just conjure them all."

"So, something like Gravity Fusion but specific to your eyes?" Ajatar asked.

"No." Aalejah shook her head. "Gravity Fusion is about conjuring the elements and mixing them together to give them an effect. Soul Vision, instead, consists in letting them flow together as one so that once they get mixed with the blood flow in your eyes, they become akin to Spirit Magic." _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}
