2498 Three Years Ago (Part 2)

"When you convinced me to undergo the eye surgery and paid for it, you did more than give me sight. You gave me life. Just three years ago pain and misery were all I had. Look at me now." Zinya took out a Remember that projected a hologram of her family.

"So don't you dare belittle yourself. I couldn't ask for a better sister. Now let's go. You are about to face one of the most unpleasant dinners of your life. Zinya made the silverware clink as they left the changing room.

Faluel's lair, the following day.

"Thanks to everyone for coming. We have much to discuss. The Hydra was in her human form and her mother Fyrwal was standing right next to her. "Let's start with the matter of Lith's life force since Morok still isn't aware of Solus' real nature and the moment he gets through that door we have to drop the subject.

Right after coming back from the Desert, Solus had added the two Hydras as guests in the tower control panel. It had allowed them to come and go freely even when Solus was at the Verhens and the tower was alone in the Trawn woods.

It also gave the Hydras the benefit of enjoying the knowledge stored in the Library and the power boost from the mana geyser.

"Thanks to my skill as a Healer, I think I can crack the first piece of the puzzle, given enough time, but the other two are beyond me. If I were you, Solus, I'd either also ask for Kalla's help or that of a Lich you know and trust.

"Supposing one can even exist, of course." Falue! shrugged.

"Liches are insane by definition, so no." Lith dismissed the idea with a wave of his hand. "Kalla is our best shot."

"Suit yourself. Know that she's just a demi-lich, though. Until she manages to turn herself into an undead, there's not much she can do." Faluel replied. "For the Horseman part, you should ask either Baba Yaga or Dawn since you are in a good relationship with them.

At those words, Nalrond glared at Solus. He had learned about her trip with the Horseman only after Solus departure and had managed to swallow his grudge solely because he realized how unique Solus' existence was.

Dawn had saved Solus' life during the War of the Griffons and she was the only one who could relate to Solus condition. Most of all, he knew that he would never meet her.
