"Also, it's not only the mons- the people of Zelex who need fresh troops." Ilthin said while pointing at the still-open Gate.

"I know that Malyshka is a good person but she's no saint. Staying at all times in Zelex means halting her research and travels." Solus said. "What's the catch?"

"Well, let's say that Mother is still very intrigued by hybrid children. In a way, the people of Zelex are hybrids as well since they are stuck between a reverted and a fallen state." Ilthin replied.

"We undead also have a flawed mana core and Mother is checking if the same principle that temporarily fixes a monster core while on a geyser can work on us too."

"That's the Malyshka I know." Solus chuckled, knowing that Baba Yaga couldn't be too far away.

"I resent that!" The Red Mother said but she didn't dare show her face due to the truth of those words flushing her cheeks.

"Come on, Mother. I too would be afraid you were suffering from the onset of white- core dementia if you suddenly got all gooey. We worry because we care about you." Ilthin offered Elysia a slender finger that the baby sniffed for a while before grabbing it.

"Ba." Elysia said while looking at Valeron the second. "Baba." _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

"How cute!" The Firstborn Banshee squealed in misunderstanding and peppered Elysia's small face with kisses. "No, sweety, I'm not Baba Yaga. We just smell similar because I carry a spark of her life force within me. My name is Ilthin."

"Baba." Elysia confirmed.

"Mom, you have to hear this. Lith and Kami are so kind that they have taught their daughter your name as one of her first words."

A sound similar to a raspy cough came from the other side of the Gate as the Red Mother tried to suppress a peal of laughter.

Elisya remembered how angry her mother would get whenever the First Banshee approached them and the baby girl could also feel Kamila's growing annoyance. It was the reason Elysia was referring to Ilthin as "very bad".

"That's not-" Lith was about to explain the truth when a nudge to his ribs told him otherwise. "I mean, how are things around here?"

"Things are exactly as you can imagine." Ilthin turned serious while letting Valeron the Second sniff her hand as well and mark her as a bad guy. "Those lowlifes of Jiera's Council put us right in the path of a monster tide.

"When we first arrived here, there was not a single blade of grass left and the food provisions we received from the nearby Awakened cities were barely enough to keep the people of Zelex from starving.

"If you ask me, the goal of the Awakened was to limit the reproduction rate of us 'invaders'. That or they just wanted to use us as cannon fodder against the tide, with mutual destruction as their best-case scenario.
