"Are you leaving?" Erasmus asked as soon as Thirteen entered the cave where the Death Lord was staying.
"Yes," Thirteen replied. "We'll head to the Sirius Continent in the afternoon."
The Death Lord nodded before giving the teenage boy a knowing glance.
"Now isn't the time for you to make your move," Thirteen said. "We have to wait until the threat of the Jinn Invasion in the Cygni Continent is dealt with."
The Death Lord heaved a long and deep sigh before resting his hand on the teenage boy's shoulder.
"You can make your plans, but you can't touch him," Erasmus stated. "He's mine."
"As it should be," Thirteen replied. "Don't worry. He's yours for the taking. But you need to be patient."
"I've already waited for two centuries. Waiting for a few more years will not be a problem."
"Good."
