Chapter 210: A Small Delay

"Wait, what?" I asked, glaring at Fetheion. "You promised!"

We were in the forest, not too far away from Fetheion's home. He stood on a large rock; his gaze fixed southeast. "I know," He said with a soft voice. "But Lucius insisted." The Divine took a deep breath. "You can't blame the man, Kai. He needs this."

I clenched my fists. "What if something happens to him?" I hissed through my gritted teeth. "Then what? Can you bring him back too if he dies?" I couldn't imagine what I'd do if I lost my best friend. Despite our differences, we had known each other since we were mere kids. No way I would let that idiot die in a god forsaken virtual world.

Fetheion hesitated. "No, I can't." He finally said.

"Then why would you let him risk his life like that?" I shouted.
