Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3495

"Now let’s set the field properly. Your brother needs to be reassured and your mother needs her strength when she wakes up." As Raaz left the room, Shargein put Elina’s figurine on her bedstand and nuzzled her in worry.

The scent relaxed her further and the warmth of the Wyrmling reassured her in her sleep.

"Sorry, Auntie. Shargein weak." Seeing their Hatchling so upset made Salaark and Leegaain feel so guilty that Tyris deemed it being reproach enough.

Raaz returned a few minutes later, bringing Surin, Aran, and a crib for the baby.

"Is Mom alright?" Aran asked.

"No." Raaz shook his head. "She witnessed the full fury and power of your grandparents and now needs our help."

"Why?" Aran was puzzled. "Isn’t it like the coolest thing ever?"

"No, it’s not." Leegaain kneeled to look the boy in the eyes. "Have you ever seen your brother angry? And I don’t mean just annoyed, I mean so mad that he threw a tantrum?"

"No." Aran replied. "Big bro is always in control."

"Exactly." The Guardian nodded. "It’s because of that control that his power is reassuring instead of scary. Today, your grandma and I lost that control."

Aran swallowed hard. He knew how powerful Lith was and could barely grasp how strong a Guardian was. Yet he wasn’t scared of them because he knew they would never hurt him.

Without that certainty, he would have felt safer locked in a cage full of starving lions.

"Was it bad?"

"Very bad." Leegaain lowered his gaze. "I failed your mother and for that, I apologize."

"What can I do, Dad?" Aran asked.

"The only thing any one of us can do, son." Raaz replied. "Be there for her when she wakes up and tell her how much we love her."

***

Leegaain and Salaark left the room not to scare Elina with their presence while the rest of the family assembled there, waiting for her to regain consciousness.

Thanks to Tyris’ soothing presence, Elina opened her eyes a little less than two hours after fainting. The warmth of her bed and the fuzziness in her head made Elina want to keep sleeping.

Yet the whispers in the room and something warm and scaly under her hand made her look around in confusion.

"What are you doing here?" Elina asked in confusion, seeing her husband, children, and grandchildren looking at her with worry. "More importantly, how did I end up back in the Desert?"

"What’s the last thing you remember, child?" Tyris asked.

"I was buying groceries with Shargein." She patted the Wyrmling’s head and he cooed with joy. "What time is it? I have yet to prepare d-"

The scent of Snowpine figurine wafted to her nose, stirring the memories her brain had tried to repress. Elina’s eyes fell on Shargein and she froze in horror as the events of that day replayed in front of her eyes.

There was plenty of space around her bed, yet she felt suffocating. Her chest tightened and her breath became ragged as if she was running for her life.

"It’s alright, dear." Raaz held her hand and brought it to his lips. "It’s all over now." Your next read is at freewebnovel

His voice snapped Elina out of her nightmare and his gesture reassured her. Every time she had given birth, they had been tight on money, or something was wrong, Raaz always kissed her hand and reassured Elina everything it would be alright.

Until that moment, he had always been right and there was no reason this time it would be any different.

"Are you alright, Mom?" Aran asked and seeing the worry in her little boy’s eyes made Elina feel silly.

"Of course, I am." She opened her arms and he ran into the embrace.
