ELECTUS 105 Pull Your Ears

Asked Woldemir in concern. They are talking about his son after all. He took an oath to protect Eric, even if he had to sacrifice himself and he would willingly doing without wasting a heartbeat. If he is willing to do that much for his only son, it would be easier to show emotional support like every parent should. Eric is the only family he has after all.

"I mean, once the Inner Demon of Rage or any other actually manages to reach level 6, Eric won't be able to recover from that misfortune, ever. He won't be mentally different from Xakro, he will be a madman. I'm surprised how Xakro didn't burn his own Kingdom down by now, he is very unstable."

Pointed out Mogranius. His father told him a lot around that Campfire before Mogranius rode Becky back to the sh.o.r.e. And now he feels more prepared at least and he indeed knows enough to have a new more well thought out approach to this disaster of a situation.

"Considering he has a level 4 Inner Demon of Rage to beat, he is holding up quite well. He just has short anger outbursts but none considered necessarily harmful. Meaning he noticed it and is already fighting it even though he isn't sharing it with the rest of us."

Pointed out Stefan who yet again has observed everything. Evading Danger practically all his life, Stefan's Perception developed to being almost extraordinary. If someone can notice minor changes, it is him. His Perception is even strong enough to see where a conversation is going before it happens. His brain works over time.

"How can we be certain that he is fighting it? I mean we barely know anything about the Inner Demons to begin with, how do we know they aren't giving their best work yet."

Asked Woldemir in concern. He can't take any chances. He needs to be certain that his son is at least trying.

"I can answer that!"

Said Eric as he beached the 3 meter long and 2 meter wide boat with King Michael on it. As he walked out of the boat and made his way to the group, Mogranius' focus wasn't on Eric but on King Michael. He didn't tell anyone about Michael yet. And neither of them would probably ever know unless Michael told them or if Mogranius chose a different path to this journey if he had a different path to choose from.

"I have noticed my rage outbursts ever since the Demon we saw, pointed it out. I have been trying to fight it ever since but it is rather difficult to beat. Reason tells me that it isn't a big deal, rage tells me to burn any problem i face to the ground."

"Son. I can feel what you are going through, as the Demon said, this will be especially hard since you have awoken to Fire Controlling first instead of Lava Controlling, Skipping to beat the Inner Demon of Patience. This situation could have been a lot more worse but you fought out of it rather well."

Grabbing Eric's shoulder, Mogranius showed pride. It was all over his face. He almost even dropped a tear.

"You need to let go of Burden. The ill.u.s.tratian revolution is slowly crumbling to dust. And you aren't alone at this. I got your back, we got your back."

"My entire Kingdom got your back!"

Added King Michael as he raised his Iron Short Sword sky high and everyone in the scene followed with a heartfelt Cheer which caused gooseb.u.mps to a lot.

After the cheer, Mogranius pulled the King by the arm to separate him from the crowd without making a scene and barely anyone noticed it because they burst in conversations. Discussing Inner Demons, ill.u.s.tratios, the deal with Pameres Kingdom and the overall war.

"This might not be the best time. But I know your true ident.i.ty. Sir Fire Controller."

Whispered Mogranius in a tone that wouldn't catch attention to anyone but Commander Alia who was sticking to Mogranius like a leach. She sure missed him and is insanely happy that he is well and alive.

"So you figured out that i can Control Fire. I realize it is a bit of a big deal but we are in Ignis after all. Fire Controllers had to rise in one end or the other."

"Son, don't play dumb with me or i'll pull your ears. Oh wait…"

Hence the Sarcasm.

"Well this situation is rather awkward. How did you find out?"

Said King Michael without making eye contact to avoid a scene.

"I wouldn't off. You hide it rather well to be completely honest. But your little fire farting bunny told me."

"I knew that little Demon could talk. What did she tell you?"

"Oh no no it isn't like that."

Said Mogranius re a.s.suring King Michael that his bunny can't talk which made the King frown for a bit.

"My father can see through any living animal's eyes. Long story of which I will fill you in the details later. But my father told me that you will prove rather useful to fight of these "Peaceful Demons!"

"As much as I would love to help, i can't share my information with you before you and the rest of your group start trusting us. If you can't trust me, why would i trust you with such sensitive information? An Electus is essential if we wish to save Ignis from facing the same fate my Continent did, so his a.s.sistance is vital."
