Chapter 360 – Brothers
After the talk with Vaela, Kaden had inquired about her odd blank eyes. They were beautiful on her stunning face, but still different from what he remembered.
At that time, Vaela had hesitated for a brief instant, wondering if it was a good idea to share with Kaden the cost of using her power.
But that concern was unneeded, for her power had evolved past that state. She would no longer lose her sight for using her power.
She would lose something else. Something heavier, in a sense. Something she would rather not burden her dear with.
So she had smiled, her beauty a blasphemy for this world, telling him about her eyesight being eaten away by her power of peering into the futures.
Kaden had been surprised at that time, but not for long. He had matured now. And with that came the understanding of one crucial aspect of life…or rather, of those who walk the path toward transcendence.
Nothing was free. And power even less.
