Chapter 254: B3: C44: Long Distance Call
“Kilt or cloak?” Para asked, as Zarian floated up into the night sky. “Or do you like me as I am? I seem to find the serpent motif a comfortable look. We really are like a chimera.”
The stars seemed to wane a little as Zarian rose a few hundred feet above the rugged fortress foothills, patches of stone forests, and various gardens sprawled around flowing river moats.
The more he elevated himself with Aura Mastery, the more the darkness of the night deepened. His presence seemed to weigh on the dark element in every place nearby, even with his seals fully engaged.
His darkness was stronger. His seals weren’t as strong as they were prior. That was a little worrisome.
Thankfully, the last week with Ruvaria taught him much on how to proceed forward in his many pursuits.
Before he got going, he first helped Para in the choice of fashion. He was glad Bianca wasn’t here right now or they would’ve gotten a full PowerPoint class.
“How about a kilt of serpents?” Zarian offered.
“Hm? A kilt of serpents? Maybe some serpents will have fingers fused with their heads. Or some will be more like bone-headed tendrils. Others can have very long and steel fangs, like combat knives. Hm. Yes. I have options. It’s almost like making art with your body.”
“As long as you don’t do too many freaky things with me. I still like the core concepts of my identity.”
