2,500 years. Vel'Asha had lived for 2,500 years. Most of it spent studying the Divine Secrets—chasing the Highest Wisdom. Why? Because she was a prodigy? No. The answer was stupidly simple and down to earth:
She just wanted to meet her dad.
Ba'al Agan devoted his life to the Lord, going through countless trials and tribulations to earn the position of First Devotee. Though he put wealth and boons galore at his family's disposal, protecting them from a distance, the Heavenly Demon didn't have time to be a husband, much less a father.
At first, she was supposed to meet him at her 10th birthday…but he never came. Then the 100th. And he still didn't show up. So, she had an idea. Since dad is so devoted to the Lord he can't spare a moment to say his girl 'hello'. Maybe the only way to meet him is to reach the Lord's level. That level…is the Highest Wisdom.
