"I will strengthen Mortis. You will strengthen Gravis," Orthar said to the Opposer.
The Opposer flew over to Gravis and looked him in the eye.
The two of them shared a knowing glance.
They couldn't talk to each other without revealing something to Orthar. After all, this was Orthar's Cosmos, and not even the Opposer could keep his messages a secret from him.
They had never shared their plan with each other in the open.
Yet, they both knew it.
Orthar flew over to Mortis and put his hand on his shoulder.
"You will keep your promise?" Mortis asked Orthar as he looked him in the eyes.
"Yes, Azure won't have to face death," Orthar said.
Mortis nodded.
Then, Mortis looked at the Opposer.
"Can you look out for Azure?" Mortis asked.
"You are my son," the Opposer said.
"I will protect her with all of my ability. This is the least I can do."
Mortis also nodded.
Then, Mortis looked at Gravis.
