Lightning Is the Only Way

The atmosphere had been somewhat ruined by bringing up Cera, but Gravis did his best to act as if he wasn't constantly worried for her.

Gravis felt like he had to do something for his daughter, but he couldn't do anything.

He felt like it was his obligation to support his daughter.

If Gravis hadn't had the ability to help her, it would be one thing, but Gravis was powerful enough to do essentially everything for her, which made it harder on him.

After some shopping time, everyone went over to Jake's place since it was the biggest apartment out of everyone. Gravis didn't always want to rely on his parents' place to talk with his friends.

After a while, the atmosphere recovered, and they all began talking.

Aris told Gravis the things that had made him change.

Surprisingly, it was a master Aris had acknowledged in one of his Sects. This master had shown Aris how humans felt and acted by showing examples.

This master had also been a child between a human and a beast, which gave him a special connection with Aris.

He had also gone through the same conflict in the past, and he knew how he had to talk with Aris to solve his inner conflict.

The deciding factor was how it felt to be human and how it felt to be a beast.

Being a human meant feeling more, which meant that everything was more colorful. Over a long time, Aris' master had shown him how beautiful it could be to be human.

Something was better than nothing.

Sadly, that master hadn't managed to comprehend a level six Law, and he eventually died when there was no one left in the world to be his tribulation.

Ironically, his death was his last gift for Aris, which sounded cruel. However, when Aris' master died, Aris finally felt how it felt to lose someone dear to him.

The grief managed to awaken Aris to an entirely new world of emotions.
