Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4187

Chapter 4187: Family Tradition (Part 2)

"Our planet is a mudball full of assholes and problems. That’s not the kind of image you want to associate with a kid." Nalrond said.

"It’s only logical." Senton raised his hands in defeat. "Then what about the solar system?"

"If Elysia is the sun, it would put her at the center of the family." Lith groaned, having already considered and discarded the idea. "Also, what would Ral be? A bunch of balls orbiting his sister?"

"This is the most stupid yet complex discussion I’ve ever heard." Leegaain joined the fray uninvited. "From symbolism to astronomy with a long detour into petty siblings’ squabbles, this forum encompasses everything. I love it."

"Thanks." Lith grunted. "Do you have anything actually relevant to the discussion to add?"

"Ral carries my blood and is part Dragon." The Guardian pondered. "Our life force resembles a constellation. What about that?"

"It would be great, if it didn’t belittle Ely." Lith dismissed the idea. "It’s like saying that her brother is part of something bigger that also has a cool shape, whereas she’s alone."

"This is hard." Leegaain said with the enthusiasm of someone who wouldn’t be affected by the aftermath of Lith’s decision. "I’m sorry, but I’m out of ideas."

"Great! This covers everything I could think of. We’ve gotten nowhere- What are you doing?" Lith turned at Morok and Nalrond, who were furiously taking notes.

"Jotting down everything I must not do and why." The Agni replied. "I’m sorry for not being of help, but I got the feeling this will save me a lot of problems in the near future. I clearly underestimated fatherhood."

"Same here." The Tyrant said. "If you find a solution, let us know. Who knows. It might come in handy."

After dismissing and dissolving the council of men forever, Lith holed up in the tower for hours, hoping that silence and isolation would bring him inspiration.

After banging his head on the tower walls a few times, he got a concussion and what he hoped was a proper answer. A short trip to the moon gave him the space-silver that he needed and allowed him to forge the new additions to the series among the stars, just like the others.

’When I picked Starforge as the name for the tower, I never thought one day it would be a curse.’ Lith grumbled.

Once he returned home, he presented his creation to the panel of judges.

"There. I’ve done it." Lith put a pendant shaped like a slightly deformed sun at the center of the table. "Even if I have to say it myself, I think I’ve surpassed myself this time."

Kamila and Solus furrowed their brows, doing their best to hide their disappointment, while Menadion just stared at Lith like he had gone blind and insane.

"It’s nice." Kamila cleared her throat.

"It’s really cute." Solus couldn’t find anything better to say.

"It’s lame." Menadion said, taking the words out of the other women’s minds. "All this waiting just for another sun? And one of inferior craftsmanship at that? I expected better from you."
