Chapter 560: The Ward & Shadow Part 3
Stryg opened his hand wide. There were no cuts or scrapes. His blue flesh was untouched. He took a deep breath and looked her in the eyes. “I am Stryg Veres, son of the Traveler, Stjerne, the Calamity of Death. And I could really use some help.”
Gale gulped loudly. With shaky steps, she slowly walked to him and inspected his arm carefully. “There’s nothing, not even a scratch,” she marveled in quiet wonder.
“The bodies of titans are tough, or so I’m told,” Stryg added with a trace of uncertainty.
Gale recalled her dream and Lunae’s words. Suddenly, the idea that Stryg was the child of a god did not seem so far-fetched. “It’s really true, isn’t it…?”
“I noticed I was becoming stronger and more durable the last few years, but after the siege the difference was obvious.”
“What happened?”
“I’m not sure how to explain it. It’s like something inside me woke up. Everything feels different since then. Are you alright?” He seemed tense, almost as if was worried he’d scare her away.
Gale shook her head, “I’m fine. It’s just— A lot to process. I have questions.”
“So do I,” he said wryly. “I still don’t really know who I am. If I’m being honest, I’m a little scared.”
