Chapter 1562 - Saving The Wrong Side (Part 2)

Even though he didn't have a twin to practice with, he had the best next thing.

Thanks to Solus's Monocle form, he and Tista could share a perfect mind link. On top of that, as long as they were inside the tower, the power core relieved them from most of the burden that the artifact inflicted upon their minds.

After teaching Tista Xenagrosh's technique, Lith had devised for his sister and himself the following routine. While he trained, Tista would study him with the Eyes of Menadion so as to spot his mistakes and keep his life force in check.

Once Lith's condition neared the critical point, she would stop him and then the three of them would revise the footage together. This way, Tista wouldn't make his same mistakes when it was her turn to practice and the siblings would both learn twice as fast than if they were alone.

The practice of Origin Flames took a huge toll on their bodies, forcing Lith to rest as Salaark wanted and giving Tista an excuse to rest from her hellish training.

"I don't get why this is supposed to be a vacation for you and a near-death experience to me." Tista said while using water magic to guide a tonic down her throat…

Her Red Demon form was lipless like a Tiamat and she had still a hard time drinking without spilling her beverages everywhere.

"Because I'm amazing for an Awakened of my age whereas you are a couch potato." Lith laughed at her expense.

"It's not funny! I'm not going to apologize for having a quiet life after years of suffering from the Strangler." Tista replied with a scoff. "Too bad that Phoenixes don't care for sob stories nor do they pull their punches."

"The training would be pointless if they did." Lith shrugged. "Besides, they want us to join the nest, but they have no need for weaklings. I can't wait to go on a mission with Sinmara to learn a few techniques and spells from her."

"Yeah, Solus told me a lot about how amazed you were by her 'assets'." Now it was Tista's turn to laugh, making Lith's red-veined feathers turn brighter in embarrassment.

"Thanks, Solus." He said while hiding his face behind his hands. "Gods, I don't know what it's worse. If making a fool out of myself in front of one of the most powerful creatures of the Desert or being comprised of faulty parts."

"I'm sorry. I'm not used to hiding anything from either of you." Solus turned in her humanoid form to apologize. "Besides, I don't know how many times do I have to tell you that I don't think that Aalejah is right."

"What do you mean?" Tista asked.

"I mean that being Lith the first perfect fusion between the Phoenix and Dragon bloodlines, it's no wonder that we have no idea what his powers are. On top of that, if his beast side really was a lesser species, you wouldn't be this strong, Tista.

"Unlike him, you have no Abomination side, only the human and the beast. If my hypothesis is correct, you have all of Lith's powers except for those he derives from the Abomination." Solus said.

"I'm not strong." Tista sighed. "I'm still just a Wyrmling and aside from Origin Flames, I have no powers."

"Just like me when I had a blue core." Lith said to console her.

"There's one thing that I wanted to ask you." She replied. "Why didn't you ever try to turn into a full Dragon or Phoenix while you were still a hybrid? Maybe it would have helped you to discover what bloodline powers you possess."

"Lith worked so hard to keep his different life forces together and you want to do split yours on purpose? What if you end up breaking the balance between your beast and human side, turning into a regular hybrid?" _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}
