Chapter 3735: Righteous Rage (Part 2)

On top of that, Nalrond still felt guilty and ashamed at the thought he had left Lith and Solus alone in their hour of need due to his weakness. Being outdone by Dawn made things much, much worse.

"Fine." Nalrond hissed, his face pale. "When do you leave?"

"Whenever I want to and not a second earlier." Dawn crossed her arms on her chest and was about to say more when she felt someone tapping on her shoulder.

She turned around, expecting to find Lith, Solus, or Baba Yaga, facing a bouquet of mixed flowers instead.

"For you." Zepho Acala said. "Don’t worry, I’ve already asked Lith for permission to pick a few flowers from the garden. He won’t ask us to pay-" freeweɓnovel-cøm

The words died in his throat as he looked over Dawn’s shoulder and saw Friya and Nalrond. Acala was as tall as her and was so focused on surprising her that he had ignored her surroundings.

"You!" Nalrond’s body tensed twice as hard at the sight of the traitorous Ranger. "You? And her? How can there be two of you?"

The Agni felt his breakfast resurfacing along with his trauma. The former turned his skin green while the latter turned it white.

"We had already reached this point before our separation." Acala’s green eyes blinked nervously as he stuttered every word. "After we decided to get back together, we-"

"Hush, dear." Dawn put a finger on his lips while giving him a dazzling smile. "Answer him if you want to, not because you have to. They have no right to interrogate you, and you have no obligation to answer."

The physical contact broke the pang of guilt and shame Acala experienced, grounding him in the present.

"Thanks, babe, but I want to answer him. I owe Nalrond that much." He replied.

"You owe me more than that!" The Agni snarled, shapeshifting into his hybrid form. "You owe me my entire village."

"He owes you nothing!" Dawn’s eyes burst with white light. "Because if you want to play this game, then you owe me four hundred years of imprisonment and torture. You owe me everything your people stole from me."

Nalrond took a step back, his self-righteous fury recoiling as if he had been slapped.

"That’s different!" Friya stepped in to defend him in his moment of vulnerability. "You are a monster and had been imprisoned for a reason."

"The only difference is that you don’t like me." Dawn snarled. "I’m no monster. Sinmara defeated me and gave me to the Rezars to be contained, not exploited. I didn’t kill the Rezars for sport or fun.

"I did it because they gave me plenty of reasons to. If you think I deserved what happened to me because of my crimes, then the Rezars deserved what I did to them because of their crimes. Either you admit this or you are a filthy hypocrite!"

"Please, calm down." Acala stepped forward to stop the Horseman. "We are guests and should avoid inconveniencing our host. As I was saying, Nalrond, after Dawn and I reunited, our bond became even stronger than before.

"We both have a body now, and she can move around without me as long as she doesn’t get too far." He slightly opened his shirt, revealing the bright white crystal on his chest.

"So that’s your punishment?" Nalrond spat on the floor. "Power, a companion to replace the one you killed, and even youth?"

The Zepho Acala the Agni remembered had grey streaks in his light brown hair and beard. Now the grey was gone, and his hair had turned to a shade so light that it looked red under the sunlight.

"I didn’t get any younger." Acala shook his head. "The grey was due to stress and my unresolved feelings. I simply got better."
