"What do you mean?" Lith trusted Faluel, but the Wyvern appeared too confident to dismiss his words as lies.
"First, any decent Dimensional Mage can perceive the spatial distortion surrounding your body. It’s the proof you have an omni pocket. A rare and powerful device the capacity of which increases with its user strength.
"Also, unlike common dimensional items, once someone has imprinted an omni pocket, they can access their storage space even though they don’t carry it on them. It makes its owner unpredictable and very dangerous." Xedros said.
"Let’s say I do have one, in what way is it any different from other dimensional items? I’m not an Emperor Beast so I don’t go around butt naked. Anyone who wears clothes can also have several storage devices." Lith shrugged.
"Normal items can be searched for and removed, whereas an omni pocket can be accessed even when you are ’butt naked’, as you put it. Also, consider this. A dimensional item is the focus for the storage space but what about an omni pocket?
"Have you ever wondered why you can still summon your possessions even when you are thousands of kilometers away from your relic?" Xedros asked.
"Yeah, several times." Lith lied through his teeth. He always had Solus with him and neither of them had ever questioned how their pocket dimension worked.
"I’m willing to give you a hint as a sign of goodwill, but for the real answer, you’ll have to help me. Let me guess, in moments of distress you conjure your items out of emerald flames, correct?" Xedros wore a sly smile.
"How do you..."
"Help first, answer second." The Wyvern cut Lith short. "Also, is it true that you met a Rezar, a member of the fabled werepeople?"
"Yes. We fought Dawn together. Why?" Lith asked.
"Gods, how can you be so ignorant? I take back my earlier comment about you being lucky. If that scum who sired you didn’t abandon you with humans like trash, you might have already achieved true greatness.
"Worry not, I’m willing to fill the spot that both your parent and master left open." Xedros smile turned compassioned, but it only met Lith’s hostility.
He loved Raaz, and unlike Faluel, the Wyvern had yet to prove himself to be more than venom and arrogance.
"Did he mention that his tribe lived in a special place?" Xedros was actually pleased by Lith’s reaction. Hunting easy prey was boring and after being holed up for almost two years he could use some fun.
"Correct again. What’s your point?"
"My point is that what he probably failed to mention is how special it was. Have you ever heard about the Fringes? They are hidden zones of this planet where the will of Mogar manifests itself." The Almost Wyrm didn’t wait for an answer and proceeded with the explanation.
’I can feel a greed in Lith that almost rivals my own. The greed typical of Dragons. I only need to trigger it and he will dance in the palm of my hand.’ He thought.
"They are similar to mana geyser but much bigger and more powerful. Fringes are out of phase with the rest of the world and are almost inaccessible. It’s where fabled races like elves and werepeople live, spending their entire lives without any contact with those like us."
