章 285: Chapter 285 : Please, don’t cry

"Mother?" Elric called to the lycan woman who seemed to be in a daze. "Mother are you okay?"

He put his hands on her shoulders and shook her a little, thus pulling her out of her musing.

"That mage you have been seeing in your dreams," Layla explained. "He is one of the mages of the rocks, he is the oldest and most powerful of them all. They call him 'the fate'."

"The fate?" Elric mumbled to himself. "Is that why he said he has been watching over us all?"

Layla continued her walk and gestured her son to follow suit. "I do not know much about the mages of the rocks, all I know is that they are powerful. It is said that they learnt the art of forbidden magic and transcended to a level at par with the gods." She stopped and turned to look at her son who was trying to take all of the information in. "They are the ones who placed you and the others in the transmigration cycle in order to save our races."
