Rowan was startled for a brief moment, and then he smiled and continued his caring motions. With the present state of his consciousness, of all his children, the Lost Flames was the only one he had access to that could slightly delay the onset of Calamity.
He could not use his Destroyer because he needed it to collect the Will Chains, and as these were among the only two abilities he could access at this time, the Lost Flames became his only choice.
The Lost Flames had never been one for complicated plots or a leading figure in a fight, yet that never stopped the boy from stepping forward when he was needed the most.
He was an extremely talented and powerful mage, but he was a boy that had never grown, and unless Rowan gathered the rest of his scattered flames from the leader of the Children of Fire who was the Supreme Magus and the ruler of the Magus Supreme World, the Lost Flames would remain a child forever.
