Chapter 501 - Testing the core

The greetings went on for a little longer after that. It remained a little awkward at first, but it wasn't long before things began to mellow. Runa decided Erik's wives were for real, but still wanted to experience the bond. 

Thus, Elora created a temporary link between Runa and the others. As soon as Runa experienced the heavy emotions that permeated the relationship between Erik and the others, most of her doubts were instantly wiped out. 

But that was no surprise. The emotional bond that existed between them all not only served to remove any doubt about each other's feelings, but also served as a feedback loop which constantly reinforced that love. Even if their relationship started off as relatively normal, with the bond it would become harder and harder to find a comparison. 

Afterwards, Runa was removed from the link again, until Elora could create a familial alternative.
