Lightning Is the Only Way

"Who?" asked Gorn. He wanted to know who had attacked Gravis. There were not many people who would be able to injure him. It could only be one of the Guild Masters of another Elemental Guild or…

"Jaimy!" Gravis growled with hate.

Gorn sighed. So it had been Jaimy. Gorn almost couldn't believe it. Jaimy had always been such a forthright and nice guy, and he had supported the guild wholeheartedly. Yet, Gorn couldn't doubt Gravis on this. Gorn knew that Gravis was too angry to care about deceit.

"Are you sure it was Jaimy?" asked Gorn with seriousness.

Gravis' eyes narrowed further with a fire of rage. "Are you trying to protect him?" he asked aggressively.

Gorn lifted his hands in a defensive position. "No. Whoever attacked you will be punished! I will give you my full support in taking revenge," he said. "But, I need to know if you can be sure that it was Jaimy."

Gravis' nearly lost control of his rage as he recalled Jaimy's face and what he had said. "I am absolutely sure," he spat.

Gorn sighed to relieve some stress. He knew that the following conversation wouldn't be pleasant. "Alright, but there is a problem," he said carefully.

Gravis' eyes narrowed even further.

"Jaimy and his brother Frank both vanished on the same day as you," Gorn explained carefully.

Gravis inhaled violently and stood up. "Are you actually protecting him?" His Will-Aura was fully released by now, and he compressed it to the smallest possible area. Gorn stopped breathing, and he couldn't move anymore. It felt like he would die if he moved one step.
