2995 Scorched Earth (Part 1)

Maergron used the Ears to guide their attack and the world energy sifted by the throne to regain what he had lost. Then, the Flames reached him through the Garden and struck him with boundless hate.

"Even if you kill me, I won't die." The Void laughed as the arrays tore it into pieces. "I'm not even here, you moron. I won't die and I won't forget you. We will meet again soon and then I won't be a fragment. I will be whole!"

The Fae ignored the threat, jumping off the throne just in time to save his head. The rest of his body was reduced to a pile of ashes, but the battle was won.

With the disappearance of the Void, the connection between Lith and the Ears had been severed. He had no more access to the knowledge he needed to operate the Garden or conjure so many kinds of Flames at the same time.

"Fuck." Maergron regrew an arm and destroyed every drop of the Tiamat's blood left in the bronze basin. "This was a total disaster. I almost lost the throne, the Ears, and my life.

"The only silver lining is that I still have plenty of blood of the other- Why am I talking to myself?" The brush with death and physical pain had broken the grip of madness caused by the guilt of killing Pharek.

"Shit, I need to… Gods, I can't stop talking!"

The pillar of fire surrounding Lith reverted to its original violet and then faded away.

All his enemies were dead and his allies were too shocked to say a single word. The fight had ended more abruptly than it had started and in a way no one could explain.

The section of the corridor where they stood was still white-hot but, for some reason, the air was fresh and the stone was cool to the touch. Lith still held the sobbing curled form of Solus in his arms.

Her armor was cracked at several points, either due to the wounds opened by the undead or because the Flames had little care for what she wore and had focused solely on healing her.

"I can help her." Ryka the Titania stepped forward, willing to share the effects of her breathing technique and the regenerating properties of the plant folk.

"Don't touch her!" The Tiamat's maw snapped like a bear trap at the extended tendrils, forcing the Fae to step back.

Even in his current state, Lith hadn't forgotten that no one was allowed to notice that Solus actually had his same energy signature or take a good look at her life force. His membranous wings were wrapped around her like a cradle, hiding everything but her head.

It wasn't just to cover her exposed skin but also the shining golden cracks still opened on Solus' body.

She was still scared from the crumbling of her life force and crying from the pain that the Flames had inflicted upon her while cleansing the parasites. Solus hid her face in Lith's chest, sniffling while holding her arms tight around his chest.

"Is she alright?" Bytra asked after failing to get an answer from Solus.

"No, but she will be." The different kinds of Flames had purged the infestation and cauterized the wounds on both her life force and mana.

Between the physical contact with Lith and the energy the tower drew from the Garden, the wounds and burns Solus had suffered were already healing.

'Go back inside the ring. It should make things faster and ensure there are no long-term consequences.' He said via the mind link and Solus was too tired to argue.

Lith's wings covered her head as well, to hide the moment when her body turned into light. Solus left the Voidwalker armor behind so that the membranous wings retained her shape. _{freēwebnovel.com}
