2702 A Warrior's Spirit (Part 2)

Their lost father was alive and he seemed to have made up with Shya. That was the only thing that mattered to Varegrave's children.

"My babies! Damn, look how much you guys have grown. Is the house still standing or did you eat that too?" The joke about their

gluttonousness was something only the real Varegrave could know and it made them break into tears.

They joined the family hug, bawling their eyes out and calling out their dad over and over.

"Thank you, Lady Verhen." Varegrave said, having a hard time holding back the tears.

"You are welcome." A snap of Kamila's fingers activated a Warping array that moved the Varegrave family inside the Mansion.

There, away from prying eyes, the Demon let himself go, expressing all the joy of the reunion with sweet words and salty tears.

***

Blood Desert, Blood Plains, near the borders with the free countries, two days after Lith's birthday.

Contrary to its name, the Blood Plains were made of common yellow sand. There was no grass nor water in the surroundings, just a peculiar wind pattern that kept dunes from forming and left the Desert's sands leveled for a few kilometers.

Salaark had scheduled the meeting near high noon so that the Suneater could employ his best spells to their maximum efficacy. As promised, she had brought along a small crowd of spectators and left her Praetorian Guards to patrol the area.

For the occasion and to ensure that nothing bad happened to her guests, the Overlord had invited both Sinmara the Phoenix of Darkness and Surtr the Dragon of Light.

"I've arranged our transportation to a neutral ground." Salaark said. "It's an uninhabited island outside of my turf. There we can fight on equal terms with only our own strength.

"My guards will make sure that no one will disturb our fight and that our spells won't force my cartographers to redraw the maps of half the continent."

"That's very thoughtful of you, little sparrow, but I'd like for us to fight here." Tezka gave her a small nod of the head as thank you.

"Are you sure?" Salaark furrowed her brow. "I'm stronger in the Desert. It would be an unfair advantage."

"It also means that other Guardians will be weaker and that your Nest is at its strongest." The Suneater tutted. "We both know that outside your turf means inside someone else's. I trust you and no one else."

"Fine!" Salaark was pissed off at the idea of having an edge on her rival. "Then you cast your best spells before we start. That will even things out."

"Not a chance." Tezka shrugged. "Where's the fun in that?"

His words pissed the Overlord even more, giving her the impression that the Suneater was either underestimating her or overestimating himself.

"Uncle Tezka, why are you doing this? This is unfair!" Filia asked, a bit pale from fear.
