Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis was more crestfallen about this comment than he should've been. He didn't have something against blind people, but if he got confused for a blind person, many misunderstandings would occur. "I'm not looking forward to this," he muttered to himself.

The Guild Master waited for some seconds but then lost his patience. "So, what are the other two things that you wanted to do?" he asked.

Gravis perked up like he remembered something. Then, he shook his head to get his bearings back. "Right, did Vice-Guild Master Saron return?" he asked.

The Guild Master and Vice-Guild Master narrowed their eyes. So it was about that. "No, he hasn't returned yet. We want to tell you that his personal decisions have nothing to do with us. He left our Wind Guild a couple of days ago," he explained solemnly.

Gravis shook his head. "I know. Saron and I actually met around a day ago. Long story short, we actually became friends. There were a lot of misunderstandings about Wendy's death, and we split up. I only wanted to talk to him a little bit. He said that he wanted to say goodbye to some friends of his since, due to some circumstance, he probably doesn't have much longer to live," Gravis explained.

The two experts sighed. "I believe you, but Saron really hasn't returned yet. We don't know where he is," the Vice-Guild Master explained. They knew that Gravis cultivated lightning, so they trusted his words. Lightning was always direct. He wouldn't lie about something so unimportant.

Gravis could only nod solemnly. If he hadn't returned by now, it probably meant that he had already died. The Heavenborn would have no reason to attack him, so if he died, it could have only been one thing. He probably met a freshly ascended Spirit Beast on its way to the Core-Continent.

Though he could also still be alive. Who knew, maybe he just settled down and was living somewhere? As long as he didn't go anywhere dangerous, his lack of Karmic Luck wouldn't kill him. Gravis could only wish Saron the best.

"Is there anyone that Saron would consider close? You don't have to tell me their names," Gravis said.

The Guild Master looked at his Vice-Guild Master unsurely. "He doesn't have any immediate family anymore, but he treated the whole Wind Guild like his child. There isn't one particular person that was close to him. It was rather all of us," the Guild Master said.

Gravis nodded.
