Chapter 79: Core I
"So, do you mean I should only learn fire?" Kaedros asked carefully. His eyes narrowed.
Was Thalso speaking about an entirely different branch of magic? What did he know that Kaedros didn’t...
"Choosing one path would be easier," Thalso said, "and it will benefit you more in the long run...besides. You shouldn’t follow....it wasn’t worth it in the end..."
’..yes..we’re talking of different things!..’ Kaedros was sure of it now!
"I don’t think so." The voice cut cleanly through the air, cool and sharp like the claws sheathed in her paws.
Nyra stood beside Thalso. None of them had seen her arrive, none except Thalso, of course. To everyone else, she had simply appeared, a silent force slipping into place.
Thalso turned toward her slowly. "Why do you think that?"
Kaedros wanted to know too. Who was he talking about and why wasn’t it worth it?
Nyra snorted, flicking her tail in irritation. "I expected better from you, Thalso. Can’t you see it? Look into him. Check the pattern of his aspected core properly this time. It’s not like...that. it’s more rooted in him! All of them!"
Thalso was suddenly in front of Kaedros.
The young Dragon barely had time to react before a heavy armored hand pressed firmly on his head. A wave of power pulsed from Thalso, sweeping through him, from head to toe, flooding his entire being with a strange pressure that made his entire body to tremble.
Then it was gone. Thalso stepped back, arms folding as he returned to his spot.
