"No, that's reasonable." He replied. "I didn't blackmail Lith or demand anything. I just asked."
"You-"
"I don't mind." Lith cut the quarrel short. "Having three more white cores is more than I could hope for."
"Three white cores and lots of Griffons and Dragons." Surtr tutted before Lith could even ask for more helpers. "I'll ask our children for help but I won't allow anyone with less than a bright violet core to participate."
"Dear!" Rethia didn't like the idea one bit.
"This is a family matter." Surtr dismissed her objection with a curt wave of his hand. "If it was you instead of Solus, do you think our children would stay still? That I wouldn't ask Lith to bring Elysia, were she old enough to fight?
"Besides, do you really expect that our older children will just stay there and watch their parents risk their lives? This way we can at least know in advance who comes with us and instruct them of the danger.
