Secrets of the Trade (Part 1)

"Lith's achievements make no sense. Phloria has trained all her life under my guidance, yet he fought Nalear better than she did, even holding his ground alone. I had plenty of masters, books, and time to refine my art, yet he managed to craft an Orichalcum Skinwalker armor before me.

"Aren't you scared of what he could become with proper training?" Orion pointed out.

"I've only two regrets. That Lith wasn't born as our child and that he is too stubborn to realize his own limits. I'm not afraid of what he might become so much as him dying in another crazy experiment of his. It would be such a waste of potential." Unlike Orion, Jirni knew about Lith's crippled life force and so did Elina.

That was the reason why both women would have liked him to have children, even though for completely different reasons. Elina just wished for her son a happy life, to experience all the joy that he had gifted to others.
