Fanning the Flames (Part 1)

"Will you go back to Lutia now?" Lith asked, hoping for a positive answer.

"I don't know." Selia bit her lower lip.

"I'd love to get some help and company. Living in the middle of nowhere is really tiring, but I have to endure it for the kids. I'll think about it as soon as they understand that they can't shapeshift in front of strangers." She sighed.

Selia and Lith exchanged a long hug. She made him promise to come back before the end of winter.

"Remember that we are your friends, not just a deadline. If you come back only for the lizard, I'll never forgive you."

After saying their goodbyes, Lith used the Tower Warp to get back to the north and reach Belius through the army's Gate. He needed to leave enough traces of his passage that people would never wonder where he disappeared to from time to time.
