CHAPTER FIFTEEN

PUZZLE PIECES

“DID SHE SHOW up?” Lithilia asked as Kazuk walked in.

“No, she did not,” he replied and sat on a chair he summoned.

“She must’ve had a good reason,” she said, walking up to him.

“Maybe,” Kazuk agreed, his voice loaded with disdain. “Or maybe she was just reminding me who’s boss!”

“Sorry about your ego,” Lithilia smirked and Kazuk glared at her.

“Everything doesn’t have to be perfect, you know?” she added.

Lithilia thought his pettiness was becoming insufferable.

“This has to be perfect, Lithilia!” Kazuk said. “EVERYTHING has to be perfect for this to work! Don’t you get it?”

“I do understand that everything must be perfect,” Lithilia said. “Despite what you may think.”

Kazuk closed his eyes, summoned his wings and flapped them twice to calm himself. He then made his wings disappear and turned to face Lithilia.

“I meant everything concerning this plan!” Kazuk said.

“Because you cannot tolerate another fiasco like last time, right?” Lithilia finished his statement for him. “Yes, my love, I know. I’m only trying to offer some support.”

“If by ‘support’ you mean reminding me about how the plan is falling apart, then you and I clearly have different definitions for ‘support’!” Kazuk said rudely.

But Lithilia remained calm, which angered him even more.

“I agree with you, my love,” Lithilia replied with deliberate calm. “To me, ‘support’ includes, among other things, letting you transfer your aggression on me in hopes that you will feel a little better.”

Lithilia paused to let him absorb the full force of her statement. It seemed to work. She could see how his expression changed from frustration to feeling very foolish. He sighed and looked up at her, with eyes that looked like the closest thing to an apology. Lithilia decided to cut him some slack on that account but thought he still needed to be punished for his childishness.

“Are we really arguing because of Akasha?” Lithilia asked.

“No,” Kazuk replied. “We’re arguing because I let my emotions get the better of me.”

“But you do this every time something doesn’t go your way, my love,” she remarked and averted her gaze. “Every single time! Is that all I am to you; a punching bag for your emotions?”

“You know that’s not true, my love,” Kazuk replied and shook his head. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean anything I said. I’m sorry….”

What a sissy! Lithilia thought. He will certainly not last half a moment when all Hell breaks loose, literally.

“I say we ditch Akasha altogether and work on a plan of our own,” Lithilia proposed. “There must be some way to deal with The Scribe that does not involve her.”

“The Scribe is too powerful!” Kazuk yelled in frustration.

“Yes, he is too powerful,” Lithilia agreed. “But not unstoppable! There has to be a way.”

“Finding a way to deal with The Scribe would be adding more to our already full plate,” Kazuk replied, trying to let her know her reasoning was valid, but it may not be feasible.

“Too much on our plate?” Lithilia asked, trying to understand what Kazuk meant by that statement.
