Chapter 164: Hollow
¤●¤
Nicklaus stood, the wind whistling around, an intense cold to it, his eyes still lingered on where Yelena disappeared along with the portal. His eyes saddened, his once green orbs lost their light and now only darkness filled it.
"Why did she leave?", was the only word he could utter, as a feeling so strong consumed him, eating him from within, his looks mixed with confusion and extreme sadness. He wanted to understand her reason, why she would turn her back without giving him an explanation, and why all this was happening right now, had his greatest nightmare come true?
"Nicklaus," Celeste said gently behind him, her eyes sad, she had never seen her brother like this, he seemed so lost, from this angle even without seeing his face, she could feel the hollow feeling radiating from his body, it was all around him and it weakened his aura, the very first.
"I believe something must be wrong," Alaric began. "I know Lena, I know she cannot leave you just like that, she loves you", he nods. "Like the world itself", even if he didn’t want to admit it but that was the truth because when he held her during her panic attack before she fainted, the only name she called was HIS and then he understood just how much fate has brought them together, his petty feelings cannot be compared to what they have or what they shared or even come between them.
Nicklaus gave a heavy sigh before facing them. "The Mother goddess came to me"
"What?!" Celeste said stunned that she would do such, she should fear Nicklaus’ wrath if she did, she was crazy.
"In her spirit form," he adds.
"Why would she do that?!" Celeste demands.
"She must have found out her daughter is here and no longer in the Mortal Realm," Alaric said sternly. "All this mess must be her doing", he added through clenched teeth, her mother was set to haunt her again, THAT WITCH!
"Like a bloody bitch she is... she still hates my existence, she went as far as threatening me, and it worked"
