Chapter 971: THE FINAL BATTLE (37)
Dean and Pax monitored the situation in the harbor and they were stunned because this was the first time for them to see how the ocean drained, the vast land that suddenly appeared looked so weird.
It had been three hours since this happened and there were many shifters had made their way to the ships, abandoned this continent, while those who stayed behind still believed that alpha Cane and luna Iris could do something to fix the situation.
They learned that the alpha and the luna had returned and they survived the poisonous miasma, thus, they put their hope on them.
Currently, Iris was trying to figure out what to do with this whole situation. Abby visited her mother in the dungeon and tried to dig more information, any information that could help them.
"We need to leave, Abby," Elder Rose said, she stood behind the bar. Thankfully, Elder Dandolf and Elder Xarex occupied different cell in different part of the dungeon, so Abby and Elder Rose could have this private conversation. "Something big will happen. All of us will die." She looked genuinely scared.
"If you don’t tell me what will happen, all of us indeed will die." Abby felt a little bit pity for Elder Rose. For her to end up in this wretched place was something she had never imagine before. "Tell me, do you know anything about why the water in ocean drained?"
Elder Rose wrung her fingers. She clenched her jaw. She knew something, but didn’t want to tell her. Abby recognized her habit.
"Mother," Abby called her gently. "I love you, mother. But, why you never love me back? You always put everything else above me. Now I have a baby on my own, I can’t imagine to treat my daughter the way you treated me. Can’t you make one thing right? Can you put me first this time?"
Elder Rose broke down crying this time, it was hard to see a woman as prideful as her to cry her heart out in front of her.
Right now, she looked nothing, but an old and pitiful woman. She was struggling with so many things in her life, but it was a rare occasion she would let anyone to know how broken she was inside. Not even Abby had seen this side of her.
Outside, the sky had turned darker, as the sun slowly disappeared behind the horizon and when Abby looked for Iris, she was breastfeeding her babies.
