3174 Clear Motive (Part 2)

With that single answer, the Shadow Dragon unwittingly told Baba Yaga how much Zoreth knew about Solus's true nature.

'I knew it! Bytra might be a clone and Xenagrosh might have turned a new leaf, but letting them know about the tower would have been too dangerous.' Baba Yaga thought.

'It was smart of Lith and Solus to keep the Eldritches in the dark but I'm afraid the secret of the tower is going to be exposed if we need their help to rescue Solus.'

"Maybe the Tree only wants to retrieve Solus' memories or maybe they know who has taken the tower after Bytra killed Ripha." She actually said, glaring at the Shadow Dragon. "We'll worry about these details later.

"Do you know the current Yggdrasil's location?"

"No." Zoreth shook her head. "But one of my associates knew how to find the old one. I'll ask him. Is there anything else I should know?"

Kamila and Malyshka exchanged a quick glance before saying: "No."

"As you wish." Zoreth could feel many things were being left unsaid but she didn't pry. "Xenagrosh out."

"The whole truth, child. Now." Baba Yaga said after sealing Kamila's amulet.

She told the Mother about M'Rael's plan to use Solus and the tower to reclaim the old elven Kingdom and how the Tree had witnessed the fusion between Lith and Solus.

"Order and Chaos!" The Mother squinted her eyes and scowled as a shadow seemed to cross her face. "This explains a lot."

"This explains what? Please, I hate riddles!" Kamila forced Malyshka to look at her.

"Fine. Until a second ago, I believed the Yggdrasill had no motive to do all this so nothing coming to my mind made sense. Now, however, things have become pretty clear. The Tree learned from their predecessor Solus is bound to Menadion's tower, but had no idea how powerful it has become.

"You see, one thing I didn't mention earlier because it seemed unrelated to our current predicament, is that the Chroniclers have stopped trying to study my tower for a while. Ever since Lith went to the Fringe, to be precise."

"Do you mean…" Kamila gasped.

"Yes." Baba Yaga nodded. "That day the Tree learned that Menadion's tower, the most powerful artifact ever created on Mogar, has become even more powerful. They have witnessed the fusion and its endless possibilities.

"If I'm right, everything since the accident with the Ears of Menadion has been staged to lure Lith and Solus in a trap and Strider was one of the Tree's accomplices."

"There's one thing I don't understand." Kamila clenched and unclenched her hands in a failing attempt to keep her outrage under control. "The Tree has captured Solus already. Why are they still trying to kill Lith?"

"Foolish child, it's to avoid a war." The Mother sighed. "You know Lith. What would he have done if not for his amnesia?"

"He would have…" Kamila's eyes went wide at the realization. "Raised hell."

"Exactly." Baba Yaga nodded. "Rather than losing Solus, he would reveal the secret of Menadion's tower to the whole Mogar and the Yggdrasil would be doomed. Lith would call me and Silverwing.

"The Tree knows we are alive and would fight to the death to rescue Elphyn. Just like they know that if the Master's Organization gets involved, things won't go well. Their Fringe might be sieged if not even stormed.

"The Yggdrasil can't let Lith unleash the dogs of war, that's why they are so desperate." She tapped at the armor fragment. "The Tree didn't even bother cleaning up because there was no time. _{freewёbnoνel.com}
