Crossing the Midpath

Li appeared in the material world again, blinking as the realm of gears and blue orbs disappeared. Faint flickers of golden light dissipated around him, leaving him staring down the winding yet majestic path of the Midpath. 

The Aviania angels perched atop the arches lining the bridge were not active, their blue cores dull and lacking energy. Helius had been right – he truly had given up on his angels.

But all that power had to have gone somewhere. It went to the Sunspear, and once Helius himself faded away and his essence imbued itself fully into that weapon, it would be easily on par with the Prometheas in terms of killing eldritch beings.

Well, it was a good thing Li was out to retrieve it by going west. 

"Papa, you back!" said Tia as she grabbed Li's arm from behind.
