Chapter 483 - Learning to Let Go

Over the following weeks, there were no ancient revelations, no emergencies from Vermillion, and no new letters marked with Arvell's three lines. Damon began to suspect that the world had finally learned to leave him alone, although Jian Yue said that thinking such a thing out loud was probably the most efficient way to ruin everything. Even so, the routine continued. Varos remained in the process of gradual reintegration, Maelor-Serik cooperated with the audit without showing any particular hurry to return to the Valley, Neria divided her time between Eir and Mirath, and Jian Yue finally allowed her to begin striking a target that could also move. Not fighting. Not yet. Just tracking a slow wooden sword, dodging enough to avoid being struck, and responding with a controlled touch. Neria quickly discovered that a padded post was much more polite than a person.
