Having access to Invigoration, most Awakened had no need to study healing magic. Being a Light Master, Xedros had mastered healing magic up to tier four before discovering how to create hard-light constructs.
To him tier five light magic was all about combat, he had never bothered with Body Sculpting. Nor could he just call a Healer to his home. It would mean to reveal his weakened state and risk to be killed, leaving his treasures ready to be plundered.
He didn't receive Lith in his throne room because Xedros didn't feel confident about being able to protect his treasures in the case that Lith took too much a fancy to them and decided to risk his mentor's rage for them.
In the Wyvern's mind, no Dragon would pass on such an opportunity, no matter the consequences, especially a half breed.
"Maybe." Lith shrugged. "I don't do freebies, though, and I demand my payment regardless of the outcome."
