The Demigod Proving (68 page)

Teirn nodded, his face utterly serious.

“I don’t want it. I see that you were right. This time, we’ll defy the Master together.”

Wrend felt a stupid smile spread across his face. He couldn’t stop it. He couldn’t stop himself from laughing. He rushed forward with his arms extended.

Teirn advanced to meet him, also spreading his arms.

As they embraced, brothers once again, Naresh cleared his throat.

“This is very lovely, indeed, but might I suggest we move on quickly. If we act now, we might salvage the mess you two have made of this situation.”
