Chapter 41
It had promised itself it would not get involved. To tamper in the affairs of humans was not in its nature. It had promised this five years ago atop the Mars Lighthouse.
But now things were escalating quickly. A final battle was nigh and it wanted to get involved.
The Wise One knew the second that Alex proved to have survived the collapse of Mt. Aleph that Weyard was in trouble. Alex, since his first breath, had been the most determined young adept it had ever seen. He had even managed to awake the long-lost prisoner, Maskah, who even The Wise One had forgotten about over time. But they had proven to be a dangerous pairing, and Maskah was still a threat to the adepts.
It had seen Alex's change of heart coming. Love had always been his weakness, especially for the one young adept Mia. But after her imminent death, Alex was doomed to give up. And now he was off in the sea searching for himself. The ship would drift with Alex and Felix until Alex truly understood what his life meant.
As for Isaac, The Wise One had always known the young adept was special. Even without discovering his long-hidden power, he was a strong force, stronger than he knew. But he would be tested one last time against Maskah.
The Wise One's nature was to appear when the elemental balance of Weyard is being disrupted. And the current conflict was created by humans. With infinite wisdom, it's decision was final.
It would not get involved.
