Jason felt comfortable around the Flers but in the end, he knew that being with them for the rest of his life was not what he wanted.
It would hinder his progress and in the end, it might even endanger them.
Ever since he'd heard the Shadow walker talk about him like he was a treasure, Jason felt that he couldn't stay with the Flers. Thus, using the mysterious beast creator as his excuse was the best idea that jumped into his mind.
'Am I also using Shane and Dalia as an excuse for myself?' He wondered and realised that it was partially true.
Without knowing what his presumed existence as a halfling could bring, Jason didn't want to drag the Flers into the mess as they were extremely weak compared to the foreign races into his business.
If you like the novel, please leave some power stones :D
