Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2814

Chapter 2814 Still Burning (Part 2)

"It's our warmth and affection that turned an Abomination into a loving father and husband. Even if Lith didn't share one drop of our blood, I wouldn't love him any less for it and I would still call him my son." Raaz said.

"So that's it?" Leegaain asked.

"I've waited seventeen years for Lith to tell me that he was an Awakened hybrid. I can wait seventeen more. I can wait as long as the gods will give on Mogar for all I care." Raaz walked out of the Hush zone and to Lith's rescue.

"How could you do that? Elysia is just a child!" Elina rocked the still-crying baby girl in her arms. "Babies are bound to make mistakes and it's our duty as parents to stop them and teach them better.

"Not to scare them like that and guilt trip them to teach them a lesson."

"I agree with you, Mom." Lith replied. "The only problem is that babies her age aren't supposed to do anything. Look at Surin!"

The other baby girl spent most of her time in the arms of a member of the family or in her crib. At the moment, she was staring at the holograms of small fish that moved in circles right above her head.

"The worst she can do is suck on a blanket or drool all over us when we hold her. The worst Elysia can do is kill someone."

"True, but I still think you went overboard." Elina nodded. "There must be a healthier way to handle her powers."

"Come on, dear, cut him some slack." Raaz wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "It was just the magical equivalent of a puppet show. Elysia learned her lesson and no one got hurt for real.

"Remember that our granddaughter has special needs and we must trust our son to do what's better for her."

"Thanks, Dad. If you have any suggestions, Mom, I'm all ears." Lith crossed his arms. "I'm a first-time father and Elysia is a one-of-a-kind baby. I have no idea how to deal with her."

"That's not true! Plenty of Divine Beasts had children with humans in the past. They must have encountered similar problems and solved them. Right, Sinmara?" Elina asked.

"Indeed." The Phoenix of Darkness replied. "The trick is to keep them away from non-Divine Beasts with the exception of their human parent. The babies are not violent with them and small blasts like the one Elysia produced earlier are barely a sting for someone my size."

"Excellent idea!" Lith clapped his hands in mock enthusiasm. "I'll take Elysia away and you won't see her until she's old enough to control her powers. How does it sound?"

"Say that again, young man, and I will…" Elina stopped mid-sentence, her face going blank.

Her brain didn't register Lith being taller, stronger, and magically gifted. To her, he was still her baby and she saw him as such. The problem was that any threat that she could think of was painful for her.

She would never threaten Lith physically or emotionally. The idea of cutting him out from any family event out of petty revenge was absurd. She wanted to win the argument, but her motherly heart vetoed everything her brain could concoct before it reached her mouth.

"I will cry." She pouted.

"Oh, great. Now we have three babies throwing a tantrum, Dad." Lith snorted.

"Lith!" Elina blushed in embarrassment.

She knew that she sounded childish but it was the only option she had left.
