Another goal

Kyle's face was expressionless as he floated away from the old man. He caressed Bia's feathers and let out a faint chuckle.

"In the end, he didn't tell me how to remove this thing from my body? And he subtly implied that I might die."

Haylee flew beside him with a deep expression.

"He asked you to get stronger... maybe you can remove it once you become stronger?"

Kyle eyed the clear sky. He raised his hand, and wisps of blue flames traveled on his palm.

"No, he asked me to get strong so I can help Alec when he's fighting the foreign individual harming the planet's core. He didn't give me a clear answer if I would survive or not."

Haylee decreased his size into a fur ball and landed on his shoulder.

"Why are you speaking as if you've lost hope? There are so many people in this world who may be facing something worse. Instead of being down, how about looking at the positive side? You still have time to find a way to save yourself."
