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. The surroundings calmed down, and the eagle-eyed guards stopped paying attention to Gravis. As long as he was not destroying or hurting anyone without their consent, they didn't care.

"You look troubled," Yersi said in a soft tone as she came closer.

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

Yersi felt a bit nervous, and Gravis noticed.

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.

"Gravis, I'm sorry for getting involved," Jake said as he also came closer.

"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.

"That's good. Thank you," Jake said.
