@Bdkross Oh, that's definitely a reality. I wouldn't be surprised if we see some of the mc's friends die until he reaches the end of whatever journey he has ahead of him. At least Frieda's birdy is still alive. That actually made me tear up a little bit... wtf... imagine living for so long guarding your "masters" or whoever- is- important- to- you place to the point your bones start to break from all the hardship and years, waiting until your reincarnated friend comes back? It's freaking crazy what that bird went through. It has lived longer than all the characters in the lore's story to the exception of the dragons. Poor bird...
And to make matters worse, the mc's disciple will definitely not have a good ending... even though none was the mc's fault and he never wanted things to go this way for her. :/
