"That's..." The sight of that token filled Wynton with shock. "Y-You're working with the Shadowborns?"
"Will you give it to me?" James shot him a threatening look.
Wynton shivered, taking a deep breath. Then, a flash of purple light burst forth, and a brilliantly shining mirror flew out from the top of his head. James released Wynton and grabbed the mirror. It resonated with the token, and both items shone blindingly, responding to each other.
'It's true,' James thought. 'The Shadowborn token the master gave me before he left can sense the Nothingness Path Mirror. But why?' Questions swirled in his mind.
"That mirror will do nothing for you," Wynton said. "I can't control it, so you can't either. The only one who can is the Yin governor."
He looked at James. "And she's cleaved in two. Unless you can merge them together, the mirror will not work. However, with just your wife's half-self, finding Wuia's current and future selves will be a nigh impossible task."
James tucked the mirror and token away. Smiling cryptically, he slowly stood up. "Thanks for the talk, Wynton. Now I believe it's time for you to settle something more personal."
Wynton started to panic as James began leaving. "James!"
James paused. "You'd protect your wife but not your children?"Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
James did not turn back. Instead, he took a deep breath. "I owe my children too much. I am not a good father, so I don't expect them fo remember me, much less O acknowledge me."
Wynton roared, "They might lose everything! They might lose their power! Their lives! Don't you care about that?"
"Reincarnations have always been necessary tribulations for cultivators. It's a new life," James said. "It won't be bad for them, given their talent."
James shivered and laughed
mirthlessly. "can't believe you can
be so heartless toward your own children.Your wife is the most important thing in your life, then your friends, and the myriad realms' living beings, but no, your children mean nothing.
"I see why Hetsema would rather be a slave than live in the same world as you."
James said nothing, raising his head and closing his eyes. Some things need not be said aloud, but some burdens had to be carried nheless.
A while later, James stepped onto the strip that confined Wynton, his hands behind his back. Slowly, he walked toward the formation.
"Are you really that heartless?"
Wynton asked loudly. "You are a perfectionist! Can you really be that merciless? You can drop the act of killing your family for their own good might not be as powerful or popular with the ladies, but am at least as smart and cunning as you are."
Wynton roared, his Draevion shimmering. Four energy balls flew toward James. James turned around, catching the energy balls, a smirk curling on his face.
"You lying, cheating, dirty, underhanded piece of scum!" Wynton roared. "You're as despicable a man as you are a god, James!"
