Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2626

"I'm impressed by your skills and offended by your attire." A familiar voice said from behind Solus, making her turn around in surprise. "As your other half says, if you are here to talk, let's talk. If you are here to fight, let's fight."

Standing a few meters in front of Solus there was Elina with her swollen belly from the pregnancy. Or rather, it would have been Elina if not for her hair streaked with the six colors of the elements, a full suit of Davross armor, and a twin-headed glaive.

There was actually a seventh color among Elina-Mogar's hair but Solus couldn't focus on it. The only thing she knew was that it wasn't emerald green.

"Wait! I'm not here to fight." Solus raised her hands with her palms out. "Also, I remember everything Lith ever said and this is the first time I hear those words."

"Let me get this straight." Mogar-Elina circled around Solus like a predator, splitting her weapon into two halves that resembled long-hilted swords.

She spun them around in warming-up exercises before joining them back together in a full haft just to start over again.

"You break into *my* house armed to the teeth, change *my* furniture as you please, and I'm supposed to believe you aren't looking for trouble? Also, you are wrong because he just did." Mogar's mocking tone was made even worse by her body shapeshifting into Menadion's form.

Seeing her mother in the flesh with her eyes filled with anger was too much for Solus. She saw in them all the blame and scorn she felt for her old self and that she assumed the real Menadion had experienced in her final moments.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm so sorry. Please, forgive me." She crossed the space between them in a dash, hugging Menadion-Mogar without a care for the weapons she carried.

"It's okay, child. Now I believe you." Mogar gently patted Solus' head, gently lifting her in her arms.

"The fuck?" Solus knew to be short but Menadion was supposed to be slightly taller than her, not a giant.

"Language, child." Mogar- Menadion put her huge finger on Elphyn's small mouth. "Remember that here your appearance matches the way you perceive yourself."

Solus yelped with a shrill voice when she lowered her gaze and discovered to have turned into a small girl.

"Did you do this to me?"

"No, you did it to yourself." Mogar pointed at the space around them that was now identical to Elphyn's bedroom in her first house.

"What about Lith?"

"Do you really want to waste one of your questions to ask me something you can ask him? If you see him again, of course." Mogar asked.

Solus focused on their bond, feeling through it that Lith was alive and well. Maybe emotionally shocked but physically he was in top shape.

"No." She drew confidence from the light that connected them and that she could see every time she closed her eyes. "I have come to ask more important questions."

"Good." As soon as Mogar-Menadion put Solus down, she reverted to her adult, armed self. "Again? You are starting to piss me off."

"Shit! I'm sorry!" Solus turned her armor into her favorite day dress, a sleeveless sky-blue skirt, and blouse. The Sage Staff was now her necklace whereas the Fury was still at her hip.

Yet its aura was that of a family memento, not a weapon, so Mogar let it slide.
