Lightning Is the Only Way

The remaining guard grew more nervous as Skye landed, but he would stand his ground. The guild had to be defended! He readied his lance and shield, preparing himself for his death.

Plonk!

Instead, a person jumped down from the bird's back and landed. When the guard saw this, he took a deep breath of relief. This bird was only the mount of someone. That meant that it wouldn't attack. Yet, he was still impressed by it. How powerful would someone have to be to have a high-grade Energy Beast mount? Only someone in the Spirit Forming Realm or someone with a relative in that Realm would have such a powerful mount. The guard wondered who came.

Gravis walked forward, dusting off some dirt from his white-gold robes. By now, he had gotten used to wearing those, even though he still wanted to change to his old style. Yet, he had to wait for a couple more days. In the public's eyes, he was still part of the Heaven Sect, and he should look that way.

The guard noticed Gravis get-up and realized who had arrived. He was quite surprised because he didn't know why someone from the Heaven Sect would come here. The disciples of the Earth Guild were always respectful and never aggressive. It was supremely rare that anyone from the Heaven Sect would come. It was not in the earth disciples' nature to commit atrocities.

When Gravis walked closer, the guard hit the floor with his lance. "Welcome, Heavenborn!" he shouted with respect.

Gravis looked at him and nodded nonchalantly. "Hello. I came to visit the Earth Guild," he explained.

The guard nodded. "Good. Please follow me," said the guard as he started walking into the cave. Gravis followed.
