"Don't worry. I have the same trouble with magical beasts." Solus replied. "Why did you request for our presence, Faluel?"

"To update you about our progress and pick your brains about the issues that we are currently facing." The Hydra replied. "We could use a fresh set of Eyes."

Faluel and Fyrwal winked, both aware of Solus' real nature and her link with Menadion's masterpiece.

"Lord Verhen." Ufyl snapped out of his reverie and fell to his knees. "I know that this is still too little and too late, but I want to renew my apologies for my actions. Ever since I rejoined my tribe, I've realized how blinded I was by vengeance.

"In my hatred for the parents who abandoned me and the master who sold me to Xedros, I've hurt countless innocent people. Phloria may be just one of the many, but her death weighs on me the most.

"Without her, I would have never understood the error of my ways and I would have ended up dead like the rest of my battle-siblings. Every morsel of food I enjoy and every moment of happiness I can still experience, I owe it to Phloria."

"I'll relay your message to her parents." Lith nodded, feeling a sting at Ufyl's words.

'In this, we are similar. Without Phloria, I would have given up on my humanity a long time ago.' The two Divine Beasts shared a moment of silence, that the Hydras respected.

Only a few of them had met the late Phloria Ernas, but everyone knew she had been precious to Faluel and the grief of one of their own was the grief of them all.

"So, what's the status on the Harmonizer?" Lith asked.

"Well, I have good news and I have bad news." Faluel sighed. "The good news is that we have finished reverse-engineering the schematics of the Harmonizers."

"Really?" Solus asked in amazement.

"Yes. We can Forgemaster them in bulk if we want to, but there are several catches."

"Several?" Lith groaned.

"Yes." Faluel nodded. "The Harmonizers Glemos used to accelerate the growth of mana crystals and magic metals are the easiest to make since they affect only the surrounding world energy, not a life force."

"That's fantastic news!" Solus tried to say more but Faluel waved her hand stopping her.

"No, it's not. If you remember Ajatar's mine that Glemos occupied, there was one Harmonizer focused on a specific mana crystal and used it as a template." Lith and Solus nodded for her to continue.

"The other Harmonizers, instead, collected the surrounding world energy and focused it, accelerating the growth process of new crystals. The problem is that you can only obtain copies of the template."

"So what?" Lith said understanding the issue one second too late. "Fuck me sideways! This means…"

"Correct." Faluel nodded. "You can't employ the Harmonizers on already existing crystals and the same applies to magic metal veins. You need to harvest everything but one to use it as a template, and then you can place the rest of the Harmonizers on the clean crystal vein.
