Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2815

Chapter 2815 Another Life (Part 1)

After a hearty meal, Lith prepared a hot tea that they sipped on the reef outside the tower. The Kingdom was way colder than the Desert and the early spring wind coming from the north still carried the rigor of winter.

Lith conjured three comfortable chairs and waited for his sister to talk. Rena looked at the waves crashing against the shoreline for a while, sipping her tea in silence.

"You know, sometimes I wonder how my life would have been if I wasn't the oldest child." She lowered her eyes, her voice sad and full of regret.

"I beg your pardon?" Lith moved the milk bottle away from Elysia in confusion and the baby girl roasted his stubble with Origin Flames in outrage.

"You know, this." Rena pointed at the tower, the sea, and the water bubbles Lith had conjured to douse the flames. "The magic, the adventures, the amazing bloodline abilities. Don't get me wrong, I love my life.

"I've never regretted taking care of you, Tista, and Trion. I love my husband and I wouldn't give up on my children for the world.

"Yet ever since I learned about Tista's Awakening, I've kept wondering how different my life would have been if you were my big brother or at least if there wasn't such a big age gap between us.

"I've kept such thoughts on the back burner because there's no changing the past and I had better things to do than waste time with daydreams. Yet after seeing Tista turn into a Hekate and hearing you talk about Awakening Aran and Leria, curiosity got the best of me.

"I started wondering what I would become if I were to Awaken. What I would look like if I reached the blue core and all that stuff. Elysia's birth and experiencing the Timat Dance…"

"Demon Requiem."Lith corrected her, glad to have finally found a name for the phenomenon.

"Fine." She chuckled. "Experiencing the Demon Requiem answered a lot of my questions but it also brought us here. The day Elysia was born, I felt more powerful than ever. I've witnessed my body change in a way beyond my wildest dreams and you know what?

"I've always thought that I'd be scared of turning into a Divine Beast, that losing my humanity would have terrified me. Instead, I was excited and I've never felt more alive in my life."

"Are you asking me to Awaken you?" Lith raised an eyebrow.

"No, silly." Rena shook her head. "Awakening at my age would mean having much less time to devote to my family since I would need to learn magic and train my body from scratch.

"It would also mean having to prepare myself to become a widow since I would outlive Senton. I always knew that one day we were going to lose Mom and Dad, but my husband? Or worse, outliving one of my children?

"I don't think I could live with that."

"Then why are we here?" Lith asked.

"Because I need to take this burden off my chest without feeling like an egotistical jerk." She replied. "You have revealed to me so many secrets of yours so I hoped that I could entrust you one of mine for once."
