Chapter 54: Fitted Exo
As they ascended high into the sky, Elias looked down at the ground, taking in the sight with awe. For a moment, he was struck by how beautiful everything looked from so high up.
"Never thought I’d be getting a view like this a few weeks ago," he stated with a slight smirk.
Elias continued and stated, "Turning to a more serious tone, I guess—how have you been holding up with your shard and everything that goes with that?"
As they turned and jetted away from the sandy dunes, fresh greenery took shape around them. She responded, "Not too many problems as of yet; I’ve finished a few ’quests’ already, if that means much."
"I’m not sure how I feel, really—over a shard having so much control over my body to the extent that it makes me see things others cannot."
"Y-you’ve finished quests?" Elias asked, his voice catching slightly. "Like... with a plural ’s’?"
Elara just stated, "Uh, yeah. A few were simple, like 300 pushups, and others were a bit more tricky, like synchronizing attacks with my Ikona. But the general concept hasn’t been too hard. I have a 500 soul energy reserve right now, but I’m not sure what that means yet, as everything is scrubbed out for the most part.
"I do have an option to ’upgrade’ Cube’s ice abilities, but I’m holding off until I can talk to the Doctor again."
Elias took in all the information and stated, "I see... I guess I’m pretty far behind. But I’ll catch up in due time—you can count on that!"
