"I see" Aldrich pondered the Death Lord's statement for a bit "When you mean the fastest way to have her be battle ready, do you also mean the most optimal for her?"

"What do you mean by 'optimal'?" said the Death Lord

"I would rather not put a child through a harmful process"

"Indeed," chih trials of fire and hardshi+p, but that learning darow I know this well"

"Youlearn" The Death Lord crossed her arhty display "H your kind When I was born, hatched into a cold, e and nobody

And you, usurper, I did not know you had such softness within you"

"I try to keep children off my hit list" Aldrich noted he used the word 'try' Subconsciously, he understood that he illing to go that far if he absolutely had to

"Goodness, what do you think you two believe I a? To torture the little one? No, I know quite well how to care for them," said the Death Lord

Both Aldrich and Valera stared at the Death Lord with visible disbelief

The Death Lord looked between theht, perhaps I a of your kind are reared, but that is why I approached you with this topic! For your review!

Aldrich sighed "Alright, so how does this synchronization work?"

"It is quite si your souls together

However at first, this binding is but te this tithen the bond between yourselves This is the most crucial aspect of this ritual

"When I laid the assassin low after a battle that cost both an ared me to spare his life for he said if he was to fall, his dear twin sister would fall as well," said Valera "I still ended his life, but I wonder if that is a weakness"

"It is," said the Death Lord "If one bound falls, the other does also

In a siher the rate of synchronization you are capable of sustaining, the more powers of the bound you reater transferal of undesirable sensations such as pain

At the highest rate of synchronicity, you may even transfer over physical wounds"

"That's quite the risk," said Aldrich "I don't think the Chrysalis would want to willingly subject herself to that kind of stress and potential pain"
