3126 A Job Well Done (Part 2)

The Master didn't care if the rest of Mogar judged him a monster.

He only needed the absolution of one person. Filia and Frey were too young to understand the gravity of such matters and Vastor was certain that with time and the help of their mother, they would forgive him as well.

"Now that I think about it, this is actually the most harmless scheme my mother has ever concocted." Quylla stood up. "People Awaken every day. Why do those bastards have to make a fuss just because of the words of a ruthless killer who died over 700 years ago?

"Thanks, Professor. I think I've made up my mind." She offered him her hand and Vastor shook it with a smile.

"There's nothing you have to thank me for. I've just been a sounding board for your thoughts."

"You've been much more than that." Quylla gave him a deep bow. "You've been a friend and you've managed to put yourself in my shoes for my sake. However this goes, I'll have no regrets. Goodbye, Professor Vastor."

Those final three words struck him like a punch in the gut.

'How could I be so stupid?' He cursed as soon as Quylla Warped out of his room. 'I was so focused on myself that I didn't think of the consequences of my words. Now Quylla is going to fight alongside Jirni and maybe die with her.

'The Kingdom would lose another Manohar and I another friend! She is going to die because of me.' The parting words that the god of healing had left Vastor were still recorded in the Master's communication amulet.

Manohar had offered him forgiveness in exchange for abandoning Forbidden Magic, giving Zinya a good life, and protecting the Kingdom.

'I'm not as good as you were, old friend.' Vastor thought. 'When we meet on the other side, you'll have to make do with two out of three.'

He sat down again, pondering how far he could go and how much destruction he could wring before the actions of the Organization threatened its position in the Awakened Council.

He forgot about his duty as Professor Zogar Vastor and focused on what he could do as the Master.

If Jirni had been there to witness the scene, she would have complimented herself for a job well done.

After reaching an agreement with Thrud's former generals, Faluel the Hydra had taken them for a tour of the Kingdom. The newly evolved Divine Beasts needed to witness the consequences of the War of the Griffons to lift the wool of the Mad Queen's lies from their eyes.

"Do you mind if we come with you?" Protheus and the rest of the Doppelgangers who had decided to risk leaving Leegaain's lair asked the Hydra.

"I don't, but there's quite a lot of you. It could be a problem." Faluel replied.

Only eight of Thrud's former generals had survived the war, and the number included Ufyl and Protheus. The Doppelgangers that he had spawned upon request of the Mad Queen, however, were many more.

"You would be right, if we moved like a group, but that's not my intention." Protheus shook his head. "My children and I just want to be in the same city as you guys. This way, if something bad happens we can be protected without resorting to violence, just like per our deal.
