Chapter 668: Punishement
The discussion with Lilith and the others ended in bitter yet relatively acceptable notes.
They had their dissatisfaction with the situation, yes, but with the compromise Sol had allowed they were able to come to terms with the results.
Now alone with Echidna in his dimension, Sol gave her a quiet look. She seemed calm for the most part. A little too calm even. For someone who was sentenced to become a cripple and even a slave, that was not the kind of reaction anyone would expect.
“You seem confused,” Echidna smirked. She could see the confusion in his eyes.
“I am. I guess you have some kind of backup plan for everything?” He asked as the two started walking together.
“I have no backup plan and I do not need one either way. Their childish demands are nothing in the face of eternity and it's not like this is the first time something like this happened to me.” She shook her head.
“Eternity, huh.” Sol's sense of time had already distorted somewhat. But it was still hard for him to understand the concept. Still, he was curious about the latter part of her statement, “Not the first time?”
Echidna scoffed. “I have no desire to share this story. Ask your dear mother-in-law. This is a story we all share together. Be it me, her, or Anubis.”
She smiled, “Slavery? Haha, the idea of slavery in Lustburg is almost cute. A cripple? No matter. I am sure I can create a better set of veins and core in a hundred years. Five hundred if Fate was not kind to me. It doesn't matter really. Nothing matters except that I am alive.”
