Atticus slowly nodded. And now the reason for their sudden breakthroughs started making sense.
'They're following another's path.'
Atticus had awakened his true Will and formed his Concept based on that. But the others had simply latched onto the paths of other factions.
This brought him to his next question.
"When I win the Virelenna… will I be forced to pick between the factions?"
He couldn't allow that, no matter what.
Aside from the fact that Atticus didn't take other people's orders well, especially not with the prideful spirit bound to him, Whisker had already explained what it meant to join a faction in the Middle Planes.
He would have to adopt their Will Path. And that meant… abandoning his own.
Atticus would rather die.
Quiet Flame's answer came instantly. "No." He shook his head. "If you win the Virelenna, you can do anything you want."
Atticus breathed a sigh of relief. At least there was one good thing.
