Chapter 3433 Summoner Clan (Part 2)

"In time, all Fylgjas will have ten tails and be strong enough to prevent the atrocities of the past from repeating themselves. It won't erase my crimes or shame but my legacy won't be one of slaughter and madness anymore."

Tezka's bodies shapeshifted into small fox cubs that sneaked under the blankets and replaced the plushies in the children's arms. Even in their sleep, Frey and Filia felt the softer fur and the warmth of the Suneater and held him tight to their chests.

"No one shall hurt you again. No one!"

Blood Desert, Salaark's palace, at the same time.

A few days had passed since Lith had left with his mother and sisters, Aran and Leria came to the Desert every day for the magical lessons and even though they missed their mothers, they were happy children.

Rena and Elina called at least two times a day and Raaz and Senton were excellent fathers. In a way, Aran and Leria considered it an extension of their vacation, just without Lith and with a few extra chores.

Salaark was caring host and a loving grandmother, making sure they lacked nothing while under her care. The Phoenixes loved Aran and Leria and the kids kept being at the top of their class.

Yet there was something irking Aran ever since he had returned home from the family trip with his big brother.

I'm already seven years old and have a bright yellow core.' He thought as he walked briskly toward Salaark's office. 'Auntie Solus was Awakened at six and she was already stronger than me while Lith self-Awakened even earlier.

'Even though I can already use Light Mastery, compared to them I am nothing. I've received magic lessons since a young age whereas Big Brother learned everything by himself.

'He didn't receive any help until he joined the academy whereas I have him, Auntie Solus, Onyx, and the magic classes in the Desert. It's time to swallow my pride and ask for a bit more help.'

The young man politely nodded at the silk curtain, producing a sound similar to hardwood.

"Come in, sweetie." Aran waited a few seconds after Salaark answered to pull the curtain aside and enter the office. "What can I do for you?"

She had finished the meeting with the other Guardians for a while and was already swamped with paperwork. She barely raised her eyes from the swarm of documents flying around her mahogany desk.

Some she signed, others she wrote, changed, or read before replying to them. Her Feathers took care of the local administration of the single tribes but the Mother of All Phoenixes dealt with the bureaucracy of the Blood Desert single-handedly.

"I need your help to Awaken, Grandma." Aran said, making her blink multiple times in rapid succession and the papers freeze in mid-air. "If I wait until I reach the deep green, I might get hurt or worse."

"I know and I'm sorry, but I can't help you." Salaark could smell Aran's fear and read it on his small pale face. "I don't Awaken my children, let alone those of others and without the consent of their parents."

"No, Grandma, you got it wrong. I don't need your help for that. Big Brother already explained the secret of Awakening to me."

"He did?" The Guardian furrowed her brows, finding such reckless behavior hard to believe from someone as careful as Lith.
