Chapter 120: THE FIGHT BACK HOME (3)
Arella still felt somewhat disoriented by the events that had transpired after she had passed out. She would have even dismissed everything that had happened as a dream. She would have ignored it all, if she did not have the memories of Kratel swimming in her mind. They were incomplete of course, fragments of the very long life that he had lived.
However, thanks to the fragments and pieces of him that were in her mind, she was different. It was as if she had learned all that he had learned by herself. This was why she could fight differently, and she could wield the power that coursed through her veins differently.
The memories had changed an integral part of her.
The power that she wielded was not the same either. It was different. Something had opened up after she had been hit with the energy from the intruders. It was as though an entire door had been opened and Arella felt like she was swimming in an ocean of power. Power that could definitely not be categorized as holy power.
Arella would think about that later.
The most important thing was that she knew she could use that new power to close the dark vortex that threatened the world she lived in.
"You should be resting." Varziel gripped her shoulders, lowering his body so that he was at eye level with her, "that is the reason why I had you sent back. I will finish this fight soon and come back to you." He pushed back a few strands of hair that had fallen over her head before raising his lips to kiss her on the forehead.
Arella felt her cheeks heat up thanks to his actions.
She caught his wrist before he could fully pull away. Her grip, though gentle, was firm. It was enough to make him pause and look at her in confusion. Arella looked into his eyes. The dark red pools that stared back at her focused only on her at that moment. She could see the fatigue in his eyes. Fatigue that had come about as a result of him holding the weight of protecting the demon realm all on his shoulders.
