Supreme Magus novel Chapter 906

Chapter 906 Meet Solus Part 2

"When I met Lith I was in a bad place..." Nalrond said.

"Like the corner where Mom grounds us until we reflect on our actions?" Leria asked. Her mind was too young for metaphors so she took everything literally.

"Kind of. After we dealt with Dawn, I needed some time to think if I really wanted to join my tribe in their journey. I tried living among humans, but I didn’t fit. They treated me like the stranger I was, making me feel even more lonely than ever.

"Then I tried to live among beasts, but it didn’t go much better. Magical beasts felt even more alien to me than humans, while Emperor Beasts were friendly, but had no time to spare for me. They all treated me like an oddity. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

"It was only when I came here that you made me feel..."

"Special. Like us." Leran shapeshifted his right hand into red fur and claws.

"Exactly." Nalrond raised his left hand and did the same, placing his palm against Leran’s. "I felt like I belonged."

"People are mean, uncle Nalrond." Leria shapeshifted only her arms, making them long enough hug his waist. "Mom tells us all the time that we must never listen to mean people."

"You’ve finally learned to control yourself. Good job, kids." Lith’s hand turned into scales and claws before ruffling Leria’s hair.

"See, Mom? Uncle Lith is special as well. Why are you the only one that can’t change?" Leran asked.

"Because." Was her reply. "I’ll explain it to you when you’re older. Now go and play outside with your new toys. Nalrond?"

"On it." The Rezar snapped his fingers, making all plates, cutlery, and cups reach the trash bin in an orderly fashion before popping out of existence. At the same time, a cage of light overlapped with the fence surrounding the house.

"See what I mean?" Selia’s smile went from ear to ear. "No more washing nor breaking anything. Also, I can finally let the children go out without supervision."

Lilia and Leria retrieved their new toys the moment breakfast was over. They hugged their parents and uncles before going outside, showing Lith how much their manners had improved.

"Now that the kids are gone, I want to apologize for what I said and done to you down in those caves." Nalrond said with a sigh, his eyes filled with regret. "I owe you a great deal for sparing my life and giving me a chance.

"A chance that, in my ignorance, I squandered. To make it up to you, Lith, I could teach you Light Mastery. I heard from Protector that you already are a powerful healer, so it shouldn’t take..."

"Hold your dragons." Lith was thrilled at his offer, but there was annoyance in Selia’s eyes and embarrassment in Ryman’s. Something was off. "Squandered how?"

Nalrond lowered his gaze, staring at the table for a few seconds before answering.

"When I first arrived here, I was stubbornly clinging to my theory that you were nothing but Solus’s puppet so I used her name to introduce myself to Selia."

"You what?" Lith inwardly cursed, knowing that the Rezar’s offer was too good to come with no strings attached.

"The more I explained things to her, the more Selia wanted to kick me out. Luckily, Ryman returned home in time to clear the misunderstanding. You can guess the rest." Nalrond said. "For what is worth, I’m really sorry."

"Now that the cat is out of the bag, why don’t you introduce me to your girlfriend?" Selia asked.
