3054 A Matter of Choice (Part 2)

'How can holding my baby trigger a world tribulation?' Lith had experienced it often enough to understand what was about to happen.

'According to what everyone told me, a peaceful life means no-' His eyes fell on Elysia who was not only in her Tiamat form as well but she was also surrounded by Flames that refused to answer Lith's will.

Yet he wasn't worried about the Flames since they seemed to be harmless for both father and daughter. Nor did he keep wondering why the world tribulation had started or what Mogar could possibly want from him inside his own home.

The only thing that filled Lith's mind at that moment was fear.

'What if I fail this time? What if I die? Will Elysia die with me?' He stared at the small Tiamat in his arms, wondering if the results of the world tribulation might affect her due to the deep bond they shared.

His rational mind told him that it wouldn't make sense. That he was the one undergoing the world tribulation and that Mogar would never hurt an innocent child. Yet no matter how sound his arguments were, none of them mattered.

For the first time in his life, Lith was terrified of failure. He was afraid of dooming Elysia to either die with him or live her whole life with the trauma of witnessing her father's violent end.

'I can't let her grow up like Solus! I won't abandon her. I'll never abandon her!' Lith held the baby girl closer to his chest, focusing solely on the soft, regular beat of her heart.

Elysia was calm, thinking that it was just another of the games that her father staged for her. She unfurled her wings and wrapped them around his chest in an embrace, making his fear turn into fatherly fighting spirit.

"Leave me alone!" Lith roared at the top of his lungs and Mogar obliged.

The quake stopped and the clouds moved away while father and daughter returned to their human form. Lith was still watching the Flames disappear and wondering what had just happened when the door to his office was busted open.

"Are you alright?" Many voices asked as one, drowning him in follow-up questions that overlapped too much to be intelligible.

Kamila checked on Lith's and Elysia's bodies while Solus examined their life forces to make sure that the tribulation hadn't affected them in a negative way. Raaz, Elina, and their daughters bombarded Lith with pleas for an explanation and reassurance.

Leegaain and Salaark, instead, remained in front of the door calmly, making sure that no one who wasn't allowed access to the Mansion's keep would find the tower.

Once it was clear that nothing bad had happened, Lith managed to calm everyone down enough to share with them the recent events. The results of the silly test about Elysia's future would have melted everyone's heart if not for what came after.

"I don't get it." Lith looked at the Guardians, hoping for guidance. "I was just playing with Elysia. There were no trapped souls, no cruel monsters, nothing. How could I receive my final tribulation when there was nothing at stake?"

"Kid, you seem to have forgotten how world tribulations work so let me jog your memory." Leegaain sighed. "They are never about fighting or with all the wars and petty squabbles on Mogar, tribulations would be a daily occurrence instead of the matter of legends.

"They are about a deal between a person and Mogar. The first tribulation is the offer, the second is about control, and from then on each tribulation sets one or more conditions about what Mogar needs and you are willing to offer.

"Those things require a trigger, something that as you pointed out, can't happen in the quiet of your lab unless you're truly unlucky. That's not your case, though. You have already finished discussing terms. _{freёwebnoѵel.com}
