Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis told Ferris about what had happened at the Ultimate's Meet, and Ferris became shocked beyond belief as more time passed. Apparently, he hadn't known about anything that had been going on. He had seen Meadow's display, but he didn't go there because of all the Ultimates.

Ferris had no idea that he had just killed the last Ultimate of the land beasts. He thought that there were still the three other ones, not counting Meadow.

"So, I killed the last land beast Ultimate?" Ferris asked.

Gravis nodded.

"Wow," Ferris said. "That's awesome! I'm responsible for the world changing. That's so cool."

Gravis chuckled a bit. "You don't care about what will happen to the land beasts?"

Ferris looked at Gravis with genuine confusion. "No? Should I? I'm not part of the land beasts anymore."

Gravis chuckled some more. "You're right. It doesn't matter."

Then, Gravis remembered something. "By the way, what did you think about the Lightning Ultimate when you saw him?" he asked.

Ferris sneered. "As soon as I saw him, I immediately disliked him. His whole demeanor and being just rubbed me the wrong way. He felt like the sneaky snakey kind. I don't like the sneaky snakey kind."

Gravis nodded. 'As expected. Ferris has an excellent intuition regarding other beasts.'

Then, Gravis told Ferris about the ruler change in the Icy Pride Empire, and Ferris wasn't surprised at all about that.

After that, Gravis came to the heavy part. He decided to tell Ferris about his problems and what he was currently thinking about.

After Gravis was done, silence reigned.
