Chapter 3323 Leap of Faith (Part 2)

Solus knew that her mother would be alright, but seeing her disappear was almost like losing her again,

"Silly child, I've already given you my word." Menadion said while caressing Solus' hair.

Her daughter's warmth and tears made it incredibly hard for Ripha to let go of Solus but they also gave her the strength to let go of herself.

Menadion's shadow body faded away, leaving behind only a sliver of darkness that seeped inside the runed feather.

The Anvil fell to the ground with a metal clang and split into the four pieces of the Apprentice Set plus the makeshift Fury.

"No offense, Solus, but your mother is... intense." Raaz said, trying to be polite.

"I know, and I'm sorry!" Solus sighed. "I swear she wasn't like that. At least in the memories I've recovered."

"Don't worry, Solus. Your mother was the kindest and gentlest person I've ever known." Silverwing said. "Just try to remember that she was betrayed and almost lost her mind after finding your corpse.

"Ripha too was killed by Bytra and has spent the last seven hundred years in a restless vengeful fury. You have had months and the help of your loving family to deal with your trauma whereas she was alone all this time.

"I'm not justifying her awful behavior or words but I think we should still cut her some slack,"

"I agree with Lochra" Baba Yaga nodded. "There's no telling the emotional scarring your mother bears, Solus. Yet I'm certain the old Ripha is still there, buried under all that pain.

"If you want to dig her out, you need to be patient and compassionate, Solus. You all need to."

"Wait, if you two think her condition is that bad, why did you take her head-on when you argued?"

"Because they know your mother, Solus, and wanted to make her feel like the old times. Like Ripha is still the person they respect and not a victim they pity." Raaz said. "That's how you guys rescued me from my personal hell after Meln broke me."

"Your father is right, dear." Elina handed Surin to Raaz, bringing light to the darkness she knew still plagued his mind. "Your mother needs a gentle touch but also a firm hand. Don't be afraid to stand up to her when necessary."

"It's not that easy, Mom!" Solus wrung her hand so hard they turned white. "She died for me. She did crazy things for me even though I always treated her like sh-ot and was a terrible daughter.

"I feel so guilty for all the things I did to her and those I didn't say out of pride. I want to apologize. To let her know how sorry I am and that I've changed, yet I'm also afraid of adding my pain to her own. I don't want to make M-Ripha feel worse."

"Give her time, Solus. Give yourself time." Elina hugged Solus from behind. "And don't worry. You can call me Elina from now on. Ripha is your birth mother and deserves you to call her mom." _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

"And so do you!" Solus turned around. "Even though you couldn't see me, you've raised me with Lith for fourteen years. After I got my human body back and Lith finally introduced me to his family, you've been a mother to me."

"Your family, sweetie." Elina kissed the top of Solus' head. "And thank you."

"I think we should all follow Ripha's example and go to sleep." Rena said. "This has been a long day. The sun may still be high but I feel exhausted."
