Lightning Is the Only Way

"Dorian even managed to hit you, Gravis. I guess my loss to him is not unjustified," a beautiful woman with azure-colored hair said as she stepped forward.

"Hey, Azure," Gravis said. "Glad you're still alive. How have you been?"

Azure smiled slightly as she gestured to the old man with white hair to her said. "Styr and I have been quite well. We also became quite powerful, but we both couldn't beat Dorian, which was surprising. We had both been sure that we were more powerful than him, but, somehow, he still won."

Styr also nodded. "His techniques are varied, bizarre, and incomprehensible," Styr said with praise. "He is impressive."

"Did you guys all fight each other before I came here?" Gravis asked with a lifted eyebrow.

Azure and Styr nodded. "We met each other when we waited for you, and we all got talking since we know you. In the end, after seeing that we are all on the same level, we decided to fight each other to compare our power."

"Oh? How many joined the fight?" Gravis asked.

"Twelve."

"So many?" Gravis asked in shock.

Azure nodded. "You built up quite a circle of connections in your life, Gravis," Azure said.

"Who won?" Gravis asked, looking at the group.

Silence.

"You know who won," Azure said with a frown.

Gravis thought about this for a bit.

"Was Stella part of the fight?" he asked.

Azure nodded.

"Okay, that explains it," Gravis said with an uncomfortable smile. "Where is she?" he asked, not seeing her in the gathered group.

"She wants to give you some time to meet your old friends first. She is currently spending most of her time with your three children," Azure said.

Gravis rubbed the back with discomfort. "You mean our children," he said.

"I don't really care. You should know that, Gravis," Azure said evenly.

Gravis had to sigh again as he got to know Azure again.

It still felt weird to Gravis that Azure didn't care about her children.

However, Gravis' three kids also must have had quite a lot of children since they managed to become Nascent Nourishing Beasts in the middle world. Yet, they had never even talked about them.

The familial ties of beasts still felt alien to Gravis.

"I guess they are all somewhere else right now," Gravis said.

Azure nodded. "They all know that you would want to spend the most time with them, which is why they're waiting somewhere else."

Gravis nodded with a weak smile.
