Lightning Is the Only Way

After releasing the scammer, Gravis sighed and transformed back into his human form. He also deactivated his Will-Aura, which had still been active during the time he was thinking.

Gravis sighed again. "This confrontation has given me a lot to think about," Gravis said solemnly.

Gravis put his hand on Yersi's scaly head and stroked her for a little bit. "You don't need to worry about me," he said with a warm smile. "I won't just disappear like Orthar. I simply need some time to think about things."

Yersi felt a bit embarrassed, but she also felt relieved when Gravis reassured her that he wouldn't disappear.

"It's alright," Gravis said. "You couldn't have known about my power. You only wanted to help, and I understand. Maybe I shouldn't have used such an aggressive tone towards you."

Jake was relieved when he heard Gravis. Jake was far more powerful than Gravis, but Gravis was one of the most important people to Yersi. Jake truly loved Yersi, and if Gravis disapproved of him, there could be consequences for his relationship with Yersi.
