The rift that was kept open by Nua was only for special and emergency uses. Syryn's departure did not count as an emergency but considering what Nua owed to him, he was permitted to use it.
Riaku had just arrived at the Helios residence to bid goodbye to the group returning to Elysium.
"What'll happen to you, Riaku?" Syryn asked the prince.
"I'll live on. You've ensured my survival time and time again." Riaku had a wry smile on his face. Syryn and his brother had pulled him out of the mouth of death and now he owed a life debt to them.
"Nua is an ungrateful and selfish nation. You know that don't you?"
"Very much."
"You're a damn saint, Riaku."
"Not really. I wouldn't have a purpose to live for if I left Nua."
Syryn nodded and his gaze drifted to the sword. "That little bitch is what turned you into a demon."
Riaku lowered his head but didn't comment. It was enough confirmation for Syryn. "Will you ever be normal again?"
