Chapter 2832 Sea Beasts (Part 2)

'On the other, when you boss me around, even though I'm the one asking you to do it, it makes me feel dirty.'

'It's worse for me.' Lith replied. 'It feels like I'm tainting our bond. We have always trained together but we've never hurt each other on purpose and controlling your mind is still violence.'

"Isn't there another way to do this?" Solus asked after a long hug and a partial mind fusion.

It reassured her that her bond of trust with Lith was as strong as ever and that he didn't see her as something less than himself. It was something they both needed.

"Resisting orders from an outside source is bound to be easier, but I guess we can give it a go. Putting you one against the other is not working anyway." Dusk sighed.

"Verhen wavers whenever he gives you an order, making them less effective, and even when he succeeds, you feel too emotionally hurt to gather your will to oppose him."

In the other wagons, boredom was proving to be a fearsome enemy.

Soldiers were used to sleep or perform maintenance of their equipment during downtime but they had already slept the previous day and their equipment was stored in the cargo with the rest of the magical tools to avoid sabotage.

After playing cards, gambling a bit, and exchanging stories, the members of the different units started to get restless. The Wayfinder was spacious, but not enough to allow multiple people for a stroll.

"Damn, I think we underestimated the issue." Even Orion felt cranky after sitting for so long. "We can't drink alcohol or move around. This isn't a problem if a Train is used for public transportation since the trip doesn't last long.

"Yet if we ever are to use them for more long journeys, it's necessary to devise some kind of entertainment."

"Big time." Friya was so bored that she begged Kamila to let her change Elysia's and Valeron's diapers.

It smelled and was overall an unpleasant experience but at least it had the charm of the novelty.

"Maybe it's because I've gotten used to doing it, but seeing a powerful magician struggling with cloth diapers is entertainment to me." Kamila chuckled.

"At least one of us is having fun." Friya grunted. "Are you sure you don't want to give this a go, sis? We all know that you are going to be next. After Mom, of course."

"I what?" Quylla blushed hard, her hard-light construct shattering like glass against Lith's.

She had perfected Light Mastery on her own but without a teacher, Quylla was still struggling to find the perfect balance between hardness and flexibility. She had asked Lith and Solus to spar with her and they had accepted.

Their pact with Nalrond prevented them from teaching Quylla anything, but by performing the Light Mastery equivalent of arm wrestling, she could still put her constructs to the test and examine the creations of two different Light Masters.

Even though they didn't say a word, Quylla could still learn by observation and imitation.

"Your sister is right dear." Orion mocked her. "Weren't you the one who begged Morok for a baby during the War of the Griffons? Now that you two are married, there's nothing keeping your dream from coming true anymore."

"He told you about that?" Quylla blushed even harder, her ears turning to a shade of purple.

"Yes, and in great detail at that." Lith nodded, making her wish for a swift death. "He lists that discussion as one of his finest hours and proof of his charm."

She went from wishing for her own death to becoming a widow.

"I'm going to kill him!"
