Chapter 4189: Only the Paranoid (Part 2)

All things that the Guardian had just avoided with a few stern words.

Envy left Rena speechless, but only for one second.

"You fluffy bird-" A wave of Salaark’s hand Warped Rena away and cut her short.

Alas, that was far from the end of it.

During the following days, Lith was subjected to relentless pestering from every living and dead member of the family to craft unique pendants for everyone.

"You created the problem, you solve it." Senton shrugged. "Once you’re done with your own pendants, find a good design for mine. Aran was right about one thing. My family deserves its own identity."

Lith cursed as a truck driver stuck in a summer traffic jam with no working air conditioning, but it didn’t help him much.

He only found peace in the confines of his lab, and only because he had restricted access to anyone but Solus.

"That’s what they call suffering from success." She chuckled.

"It’s not funny Solus." Lith’s growl only made her laugh harder. "Also, since your mother wants a pendant as well, you’d better start to rack your brain for a good design."

"Me?" She went pale.

"Again, it’s your mother." Lith snorted. "You are the heir of the First Ruler of the Flames and an aspiring Ruler yourself. Ripha left you her Fury and prepared a design specifically suited for you.

"Isn’t this the perfect opportunity to return her favor and express how much *you* love her?"

"You have a point." Solus said, but her voice lacked enthusiasm and sounded like an admission of guilt.

"Then stop saying it like an admission of guilt and start thinking." Lith grunted. "There is no rush, but there is no way I’m doing this alone. You wanted to be part of the family, and this is the price for it."

"What about Kami?" Solus whined, hoping to deflect responsibility.

"Rest assured. As soon as Ral is born and she gets over her depression, I’ll be on her case as well." Lith replied. "Not a moment sooner, though. You know how bad she felt the last time."

"Sometimes you make me feel like I’ve wasted my life, child." Baba Yaga said as she practiced Zero and Cinder spells with Lith.

"You have no reason to." Lith shrugged. "If not for Elysia teaching me the basic runes of Mirror Magic, I would have never learned them. Besides, it was your idea to try to use Zero runes to conjure arrays."

"Not that, you obsessive runt!" She replied. "I was talking about your family. Your little ones are so cute, and your idea for the pendants was just lovely."

"Not you too, please!" Lith groaned. "I’m tired of hearing about that. This is my magic lab, so please let’s focus on doing some magic."

He froze her with a glare before she could babble about love being the true and most powerful magic or anything like that.

"Fine." Baba Yaga sighed. "The idea of working on Zero arrays is indeed mine. Too bad I can’t hear a single rune that might form the simplest magical formation. How did you do that in Amrok?"
