Chapter 2921 Family Lab (Part 1)

"Hey, Faluel. Is everything alright?" It was a weird hour for a call and he hadn't heard from the Hydra since before his departure to Jiera.

"Hi, Lith. I'm fine, thank you. Just a bit annoyed with a friend of mine who disappears for long periods of time and never calls unless he wants something." She replied with a playful tone.

"I'm sorry." Lith sighed.

Isolating himself was an old bad habit of his that resurfaced every time he was engrossed in his work which happened very often.

"You'd better be." The Hydra grunted. "You could have at least called me to tell me about the fight with the lost city and that everyone was alright. Instead, I had to find out from the interlink first and then get the details from Friya's report."

"I know, but with everything that happened, it slipped my mind." Lith said. "Until the Warp Gate was finished, I was involved with the treaties between the merfolk and Grandma to create new cities in her Desert.

"Also, with the excuse to act as liaison with the local Awakened Council along with Raagu, I have spent most of my free time scouring their archives for hints about the Ears of Menadion."

"It's a nice excuse, but still an excuse." Faluel nodded. "That said, do you have plans for tomorrow? I have something I want to show you."

"I'm free tomorrow." Lith replied.

"Perfect. Come to my lair first thing in the morning. See you. Faluel out."

Lith put the amulet into his pocket and went back inside the room. Kamila and Solus were reading the story of the Ugly Sparrow, a bad-looking bird that turned out to be a mighty Phoenix and became the ruler of the forest.

'This is not one of mine. I wonder if Grandma wrote it or if it's just based on her.' Lith thought.

The two women alternated reading, making the back and forth between the characters more vivid.

"Mind if I join?" He asked.

"Not at all." Kamila moved to make space for him. "There are lots of birds in this story and I'm running out of voices. By the way, have you noticed that the only friend of our ugly sparrow is a finch? Coincidence?"

"I think not!" Lith and Solus replied in unison, making the three of them burst into a laughter at the inside joke from his memories.

The following day, Lith and Solus left the babies at home with Kamila and went to visit the Hydra.

The Beast Ruler of the Distar Marquisate had her home built inside the Black Scar, one of the rare mountains in the south of the Griffon Kingdom which took its name from the obsidian covering most of its rocky surface.

The volcano had been active until Fyrwal, Faluel's mother had moved there. After becoming one of the four founding pillars of the Kingdom, the Hydra had grown weary of the intrigues of the Court and sought the solitude of her secret lab in the Black Scar.

She had diverted the magma flow of the mountain's fiery core to form a pool that fueled her Forgemastering experiments and played a key role in smelting and purifying magical metals.

The mountain also had a steaming hot spring that along with the warm climate of the south made it the perfect place to live for creatures like the Hydras who were weak to cold.

She was wearing a short-sleeved red shirt and what Lith could swear was a jeans overall. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}
