The palace was luxurious but Lind dismissed it all as Bori poured out his woes. It was no wonder he was stuck!
Lind had long thought he had become a Sovereign Tier but it seemed the phoenix clans had come for a progenitor of their own to nurture. It seemed his existence had spurred on the various races to see if any progenitors of their own existed.
Thus far, aside from Bori and himself, he knew of none.
Bori and Jur had been very happy. Even when Lind had been cut off, they had only worried about him. It was only when it was revealed that Lind had no interest in maintaining his familial relationships that Jur had been shattered.
She had been saved by Lind but her entire tribe had been willing to sacrifice her. Her own mother had been nearly killed as well.
Lind felt the old wave of guilt at that. He knew, of course, the exact reason Jur no longer wanted anything to do with him.
