Baradiel’s Proposal

Ethan took a deep breath to rein in his anger and once again stared at the horizon.

“Nothing’s changed,” Ethan said after he regained his composure. “I don’t care about what Ashmedai and the rest say. I will do what I have to do.”

Baradiel nodded. “Right now, you can only rely on your strength and the strength of your allies. However, I have a proposal for you. If you agree, I will also lend you my strength.”

Ethan, who needed all the help he could get, glanced at the Progenitor, who temporarily borrowed the body of his lover.

“What is it?” Ethan asked. “If it is within my capacity, then I will agree.”

“Don’t worry. It's certainly within your capacity,” Baradiel replied with confidence. “But you might not like it.”

The Progenitor of Primordial Ice then leaned on the railing of the Flying Ship and stared at Ethan.
