Chapter 3346 Real Change (Part 1)

"There you go." Menadion gave the artifact back to Faluel who looked at it in confusion. "To reseal the Hands you just need a telepathic command but to remove the lock again you always have to input the code manually. Did you memorize the sequence?"

"Not a chance. I'm still struggling to accept I'm standing in front of the legendary Ripha Menadion. All I could think of is how nimble your fingers are." Faluel scratched her head in embarrassment. "Do you mind writing the code down for me?"

"Wow, Mom, you have a fan." Solus chuckled. "Once you are done writing the sequence of gems, add a signed dedication at the bottom."

"I'm actually against writing down this kind of things." Menadion said while jotting the code down on a piece of paper. "Promise me to keep this safe and that you will burn it as soon as you memorize the code."

"I will. Thank you." Faluel sniffled as she read the dedication:

"To Faluel the Hydra, a precious friend and wonderful teacher. Ripha Menadion."

"It's too soon to thank her." Solus said. "She's going to teach us how to use the unlocked pieces of the Menadion Set and when I say us, I don't mean just Lith and me."

"Really?" Faluel stored the note in her dimensional amulet before her tears smudged the ink.

"Yes, dear." Menadion nodded. "Even though I didn't choose you and Tista, Solus did. I've known you two for years and I trust my daughter's judgment. Now you are the rightful owners of your respective pieces of the Set.

"There is no point making you waste time reinventing the wheel or risking the secrets of my legacy being lost to time forever."

Her words moved Faluel, filling her heart with admiration for the wisdom and generosity of the First Ruler of the Flames.

"My mother is forgetting to say that she didn't come to this decision from the goodness of her heart." Solus clicked her tongue. "We convinced her to do it only after explaining to her how much you and Tista mean to us."

"Epphy, stop embarrassing me in front of your friend!" Menadion blushed up to her ears. "I was just trying to make a good impression on Faluel"

"First, my name is Solus. Second, you keep saying you want to fix your past mistakes, Mom. You can start by being honest with those closest to you. If you keep lying, I will never understand if you really have changed or are just pretending to have changed." "Fair enough." Menadion sighed. "What Solus said is true, Faluel. I used to keep secrets

even from my dearest friends and ended up paying the price for it. Bad habits die hard but I'm trying to be better.

"Please, don't take it personally. It's not that I don't trust you. I'm used to not trusting anyone. With my tower, my talent, and the pieces of my Set, I didn't want to give people even more reasons to covet what was mine by telling them how powerful they really are."

"Don't worry, Ripha. My mother told me what kind of person you were... I mean, are and I see your point. Besides, I'm used to dealing with jerks with trust issues. Isn't that right, Lith?"

"Guilty as charged." Lith shrugged. "In my defense, history proved Ripha right and I'm still alive to this day only because no one knows the exact limit of my abilities. Myself included."

"When can I come to the Desert for my lesson on the Hands?" Faluel asked.

"I miss him too, big sis." Lith lowered his gaze for a moment. "Don't beat yourself up. If anything, it's my fault. I overestimated my forces and underestimated the World Tree. This time we didn't come out victorious because of one of my plans, only thanks to dumb luck." _{freewёbnoνel.com}
