"Of course, it's…" Lith pointed at Friya, Faluel, Morok, Nalrond, Protector, and Tista. "Damn, I didn't think about that. We are one person short!"
"What about Master Ajatar?" Morok asked.
"I'm not going to invite someone with Dragon Eyes!" Lith snarled. "I might as well hand him a blueprint of the power core."
"Bytra, then?" Friya said.
"Please, no." Solus shuddered at the thought. "I know she's not the one who killed me, and our relationship has improved over time. Yet the idea of having her so close to me while I'm helpless makes me want to puke."
"Why not just ask Ripha to join us?" Protector nodded at her. "She's the First Ruler of the Flames and Solus' mother. No matter how rusty she is, most of us are nowhere near Ripha's level of skill."
