Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2619

"I stand corrected. It does come easy to him and I hate Morok for that." Faluel said, receiving a nod from Nalrond. "Wings upon the deep violet? Life is really unfair."

All creatures dreamed of developing something like Dragon Eyes, but to Hydras, it was their lack of wings and Origin Flames that hurt the most. Especially because Wyverns and the rest of the Lesser Dragons never ceased to remind them of it while flaunting either gift.

"I hear you." Ajatar's pride and envy for his disciple fought to a standstill. "Now let's move."

"We are going first." Nalrond made sure that even though the communication amulet was cut off from those on the outside, it still worked for those inside the Fringe. "You stay here while I bring the others to the site of the ritual.

"Once we are safely inside the caves, I'll give you a call and you can look for the elves. This way, by the time we are done with the preparations, the attention of our hosts will be focused on you and they won't notice the surge of world energy. Hopefully."

Solus, Quylla, Friya, and Morok followed Nalrond in a low-altitude flight meant to reach a place he recognized as fast as he could while also avoiding being seen by the inhabitants of the old and new Fringe.

After the Rezar tribe's slaughter by Dawn's hand, a second Fringe had fused with the original. It had expanded the borders of Nalrond's birthplace and he was unfamiliar with the areas that had materialized along with the elves and the Dewan.

"Gods, this place is amazing!" Solus had never been there before and found the natural beauty of the Fringe to be breathtaking.

The high-density world energy of the place affected everything that grew, blessing them with elemental affinities. The ground was covered in tall grass with orange streaks, rustled by a gentle spring breeze that carried the gurgling of water from a nearby river.

It flowed into a silvery lake inhabited by fish with yellow-streaked scales and was surrounded by several fruit trees with blue streaks running all over their brown bark. Their branches were filled with ripe fruits whose delicious smell made Solus hungry.

Silver-furred chinchillas, black-streaked brown rabbits and squirrels came out of their burrows to look at the newcomers. The noise made them curious rather than scared because they had never met humans before and mistook the newcomers for some kind of birds.

So did many bright feathered actual birds that followed the group for a while, squeaking at them to assert dominance over the territory.

"So much for discretion." Nalrond cursed, Hushing the birds as fast as he could. "Finally!"

After identifying an area he was familiar with, the Rezar could find his way toward the ritual's site. One Steps lost them their noisy honor guard and less than a minute later they reached their destination.

Friya well remembered the place and opened the secret access to the caves with an earth magic spell while the others checked the surroundings for witnesses. Once inside, the Rezar gave the all clear to the second group.

"You heard him, Aalejah." Faluel said. "You can now guide us to your people."

The elf connected them all with a mind link to be capable of speaking and guiding them while moving at high speed. She flew low as well, but moved fast as if she was following a road instead of what looked like a random path.

She would often make sudden turns or take a roundabout route but the never seemed to be lost.

'Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.' She said. 'My people explored the area thoroughly and left behind many signs that I can identify easily.'

She shared with them the images of partially pruned branches and claw marks in the trees that were actually elf-made.
