Chapter 763: Thera's Perspective
“Thank you for helping us, Princess.” The spirit she’d asked to speak for the rest told her once she was done healing all of those who needed it.
“It’s no problem and if anything like that happens again I’ll be happy to help, but why did you come to me?”
“Because we believed you could help.”
“I mean, why did you come to me instead of asking one of the great spirits? They’d typically help you all, wouldn’t they?”
“Ah, yes but none are free.”
None?
She didn’t know how true that was, or at least how much of that thought wasn’t just coming from their own view of things. Thera knew that her father regularly guarded Anailia but he was pulled away often enough that he should have been able to help and while both her aunts Funa and Lux had tasks that kept them busy she didn’t think they’d be too occupied to help either. Then there was her newest uncle Ogilt who was just guarding Ben’s experiments but almost certainly could have left for the few minutes it would have taken a being of his power to deal with that level of threat.
Although, I guess he still doesn’t seem mentally well enough to be one of the top choices and as for the others, well, Salinoth is the only great spirit that dedicates the whole of his time to the seas and Incedis has his family and I don’t really care enough about the last three to know what might keep them busy. I guess I don’t even have a clear enough idea about what my dad and aunts do to say they weren’t doing anything important right now either.
“Okay,” She said aloud after thinking it over. “If anything like that happens again, for any spirits or elements or fairies, let me know. I’ll do my best to come and help.”
