"How could two weaklings have become Kings?" Lith was confused. Protector had always been the strongest among the four, but not by much.
"We are not like humans. A King is simply the most powerful beast in the area. The new Kings are simply too young. Those of my generations have all died, either of old age or by challenging my authority." Reaper explained.
"Replacing a single King is not an easy feat. Two is impossible."
'Solus?' Lith asked.
'I am not sure we can help them. Reaper is not as strong as Phillard was when he got here. There are still too many things we don't understand.'
"I'm sorry Reaper. I could do it, but it would take time and a considerable amount of risk. I spent over six months of painstaking effort to Awaken him…"
"Mostly mine." Phillard snarled. "Especially the pain part."
