"Think about it." Solus replied. "Once we figure out where to start restoring your life force, the Harmonizer-like properties of your body will give you the time to adapt and recover from the procedure without the risk of suffering permanent damage.
"Conjuring the six elemental flows can’t speed things up but we can still use it to check for side effects and positive changes without endangering your life. At that point, we can decide whether to move forward or restore your life force to its previous state."
"That’s true." Ryla gave Solus a small smile. "Thank you."
"Don’t mention it. By the way, how come the house is so silent? Where is Fluffy?"
"He’s at the main estate." Garrik replied. "He got bored of doing nothing while I practiced so Lucky offered to play with him."
"Lucky? Playing?" Lith echoed in disbelief.
’Those words don’t go along together. Not anymore.’
He inwardly sighed. ’It’s more likely Fluffy is getting the beating and the training of a lifetime.’
Lith’s intuition was correct but he didn’t know the half of it. Fluffy returned from every "playdate" stronger, thinner, and with an abject terror of the Ry.
"Can you help me find the right amount of elemental energy I have to conjure, Uncle Lith?" Garrik asked.
"Any Awakened can help you with that, Garrik." Lith replied. "I have to go, but your big brother and your sister-in-law can do it as well as I can. I leave you in their expert hands."
"Pretty please?" The young Tyrant held Lith’s robe, giving him a pleading look.
"I’m sorry, Garrik." Lith shook his head. "That kind of fine-tuning requires a lot of time and practice. It’s not a matter of finding the right amount, but of you learning how to recognize it and then maintain it over an extended period of time.
"It would take days at best and weeks at worst. I too have a family and things to take care of."
"I understand." Garrik sighed, feeling robbed of hope.
He didn’t care much about himself. He wanted his life forces to reach a stable condition in order to be Awakened and become capable of working on a treatment for his mother.
In Garrik’s current state, he and Ryla were both trapped over the geyser so at least they had each other. Yet he could see how much she suffered from the imprisonment. How knowing that one day her son would go where she could never follow him hurt her.
"No need to get all mopey on me." Lith patted Garrik’s shoulder. "I’m not walking out on you. Right now I don’t have the time but I plan on coming back and training with you. I still have to master my own powers." He winked with half his eyes.
"Also, if you ever get stuck and need my advice, just give me a call and I’ll come to help you. Okay?"
"Okay." Garrik replied, the smile returning to his face.
"I should be offended with you, young man." Morok snorted. "Why do you cling so much to Lith? Do you not trust your big brother?"
"I do trust you, but we’ve been sitting on this problem for weeks and Uncle Lith solved it in a minute." Garrik replied sheepishly. "With his help, our research would progress much faster."
