Chapter 3831: Starting Point (Part 2)

"It’s actually simple, child." Salaark stepped forward with two sock puppets on her hands that had a striking resemblance to Friya and Nalrond. "You see, when a Harbinger and an Agni really love each other, they share a special hug..."

The children listened attentively to the "magic" lesson while the adults laughed hard at Friya’s expense.

’This is all my fault.’ She inwardly sighed. ’I forgot I live with the gods and walked into that one.’

The next day, after another round of misdirection and deception with masks and body gloves, Quylla and the others returned to the Infirmary.

"Before reviewing the footage of the fight, there is one more person who needs to take a scan." She stared at Solus, who looked around in confusion.

"Me? Why?" She asked.

"You developed hair wings and your eyes... shone." Quylla replied while using a mind link.

’Your bond with Lith, Solus. We know you were fully human as Elphyn Menadion, but that might no longer be the case. Based on what you told me yesterday, you felt the resonance no less than Ryla.’

’What difference does that make?’ Solus asked.

’A big one.’ Quylla replied. ’Remember that the tower is linked to both you and Lith, but the only life force it cares about is yours. There is the possibility that the resonance between Lith and Ryla spread to the tower through you.

’If I’m right, the effect that Ryla’s eyes had on Lith’s also tapped into your dormant abilities, and that’s what pushed the tower to intervene. How it did it, however, is beyond me.’

’You make a good point.’ Solus thought, before cutting the mind link off. ’And if she’s right, I think I know how the tower did it.’ 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"No more surprises, Solus, okay?" Friya said, making her friend blush up to her fingertips.

"I’m- I... I drank alcohol, and Grandma didn’t stop me!" Solus clung to that certainty yet put her hands on the crystal tank with her fingers crossed.

"Mana core: Awakened and... intact." Solus sighed in relief when no warning resounded and rushed to doctor the parts she couldn’t share with Ryla and Garrik before they appeared on the screens.

"Life force: uncategorized. Life force composition: 70% unknown rank human, 15% Dragon, 15% Phoenix. Probability of bloodline awakening: fluctuating. No... life force defect detected. No wound detected. Perfect health. No further action is recommended."

"Why is my life force uncategorized?" Solus asked.

"Unknown rank human?" Menadion pondered. "Does it mean you are just above rank 0 or that you surpass rank 3?"

"Why is the probability of her bloodline awakening fluctuating?" Morok said. "Is that even possible?"

"Why does the Infirmary stutter? It never did it before." Garrik asked.

"The presence of so many unknown variables must have thrown off the diagnostic pseudo core." Lith said. "Let me show you."

He touched the crystal next and obtained exactly what he expected.

"Mana core: Awakened and intact. Life force: 100% Tiamat. Life force composition: 25% rank 3 human, 25% uncategorized Eldritch, 25% Dragon, 25% Phoenix. Several cracks in the life force detected. No wound detected. Perfect health.

"Warning: condition is permanent. Intervention required. No treatment available. Insufficient data. It’s advised to avoid straining the life force, or the condition will deteriorate." The light of the room turned yellow, but that surprised no one.

’Morok is right. I can’t believe I never took my own scan before.’
