Lightning Is the Only Way

'Great, someone from the Wind Guild. Reaching the Wind Wall has just become way more difficult. I wonder if Heaven planned so far ahead that it knew I would flee to the Wind Wall. If I guess correctly, this should be Wendy's father. This whole thing had been months ago. Was Heaven able to plan this far ahead? Honestly, I'm not sure,' Gravis thought to himself.

"If I guess correctly," Gravis said, "you should be Wendy's father, correct? I think your Guild Master has said your name before. Saron, was it?"

When Gravis had said "Wendy", a cold gleam appeared in Saron's eyes, but that was replaced by his surprise. He hadn't expected that Gravis knew his name. He chuckled lightly. "Yes, my name is Saron. I am surprised you know it," he said casually.

"I am actually more surprised by you appearing," said Gravis. "I was sure that Wendy's goodbye-letter would have stopped you from going after me. That was her goal, after all. She didn't want us to become enemies."

Saron got a little confused after Gravis said that and narrowed his eyes. "There was no goodbye letter," he said.

Now, it was Gravis' turn to be surprised. No goodbye-letter? But he had seen how Wendy nailed it to a tree. Why wouldn't he know about this goodbye-letter? Suddenly, Gravis' eyes widened, and then they narrowed in fury. "Was this your doing again, Heaven?!" Gravis shouted aggressively at the sky.

The sky didn't react. Instead, it was Saron who reacted, by looking with shock at Gravis. Did Gravis just aggressively shout at Heaven? Was he suicidal? As they continued running, Saron looked at the sky, but nothing seemed to happen. This surprised him even more. What was going on? Why was Gravis still alive?

"What are you talking about?" Saron asked. His goal was killing Gravis, and he had Gravis on the palm of his hand. Gravis couldn't escape anymore, so he wasn't in a hurry to kill him.

Gravis gnashed his teeth furiously. "This fucking Heaven always tries all this shit to kill me. Wendy had nailed a goodbye-letter to a nearby tree where she explained everything about her life and her decisions. Have you not seen her body? Does her body look like we fought?" Gravis asked.

Saron narrowed his eyes further, but he also remembered that Wendy's body was fully intact when they found it. There were also no traces of a fight. The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed. "So, what is this all about? You said my daughter had a reason for all of her actions?"

Heaven's bullshit. "Yes. Why do you think she specifically targeted me? If she just had an enmity with the Heaven Sect in general, she could have just killed some people. Instead, she specifically only insulted me. There was a reason why she wanted to meet me, and she told me all the things she kept inside. She never wanted
