Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2640

'She just didn't sugarcoat her words and regarded others with the same impossible standards she applied to herself. All the people we have met who knew Elphyn Menadion loved her and considered her a troubled but good person.

'Aerth, Malyshka, Silverwing, and Grandma had many good things to say about you and a few bad ones, because guess what? Nobody is perfect.

'When Bytra begged for your forgiveness and showed you her side of your story, she admitted that the reason for her anger wasn't the harshness of your words but the fact that she was the first one to demean herself when compared to Ripha.

'You don't have to carry the weight on Mogar on your shoulders. People are responsible for their own decisions and the actions that follow. It was Threin who chose not to train his body. It was Ripha who abandoned you to seek revenge instead of staying with you until she recovered.

'It was Bytra who let her envy drive her to murder and madness. You were part of their lives, not their master. You may have contributed to the events but the final choice has always been theirs.

'Whatever part you played, whatever wrongs you did in the past, you have paid for them in full.'

Through the physical contact, Lith forced her to remember about everything she had suffered before meeting him. The loneliness, the hunger, the desperation that had plagued her for centuries as her sense of self was slowly eroded by the tower in order to keep her alive.

Then, he reminded her of the sense of isolation she had suffered back when she was just a voice in his head. The creeping madness from her inability to sleep due to the lack of a physical body. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

The darkest moments of Solus' second life flashed in front of her eyes, including all the moments when people treated her like a cursed object and were hell-bent on destroying or enslaving her without a second thought.

'What you have today is not something that some merciful god has gifted you out of the goodness of their heart, it's something you built with me!'

It was then that the brightest moments of her new life pushed the darkness back into the deepest corners of her mind that had spawned it. Solus remembered all the time they had spent together when Lith was a kid, practicing magic and taking care of Tista.

Her life had begun anew as a little more than a talking tool, but with time, her role in his life had grown and he had given in to more of her demands. The academy, their friends, and every bit of herself she recovered was a dot of light, forming a line that led to the present.

The darkness lay in between the dots, but their collective light overwhelmed it. Solus Verhen had suffered much and sacrificed even more, yet the result was worth her efforts.

Her mother's tower was back and so was her body. She had a loving family that trusted and depended on her. Elphyn had lived her life alone despite being surrounded by love whereas Solus had nurtured every bit of affection she had received even at personal cost, making it grow.

She stopped fighting, still clenching at Lith's arms but now to keep them close instead of pushing them away.

Solus kept sobbing while neither of them said a word. Yet their silence was filled with memories of the time they had spent together, each stirring a different emotion that conjured another memory in a loop.

They remained like that until the internal clock of the tower alerted them that it was time for the second shift. Solus gently pushed Lith away, checking the logs of the Sentries for anomalies or witnesses before making the tower emerge from its hiding spot.

She used plenty of water to wash her face and light magic to erase the signs of the prolonged crying. Solus had many things she would have liked to say but no time. Any moment now and someone would come out of the caves to take over guard duty.

"Thanks." She said while walking through the tower's door.
