Lith spent the next hour explaining fake magic, true magic, and the Awakening process to Tista. She trusted her brother with her life, yet even after meeting Solus, Tista found such a massive info dump hard to believe.
Lith then cast perfectly silent spells of every tier, from one to five right in front of her eyes. Tista gasped for air, her whole world was being turned upside down. She hyperventilated due to stress and it became harder and harder for her to breath until everything turned black.
"Has she fainted?" Lith asked.
"Yes. Too bad we can't waste time being nice." Solus conjured ice cold water and splashed Tista's face with it.
"Oh, gods! I had the weirdest dream…" When Tista saw Lith and Solus again, she realized it wasn't a dream. Lith sat on the ground beside her, putting his arm around her shoulders to keep her calm.
"Is everything I've learned so far a lie then?" She asked after a while.
