Chapter 123: Memory Block
Memory
’The faculty by which the mind stores and remembers information’. It is something stored from the past or present. It is also the ability to retain and recall past events or information in a person’s mind. But in this case, William was experiencing a block in his memories, a particular void, something was missing and he only concedes it now, something he never felt and never thought of.
Not until Ava uttered those words to him. ’Why did you abandon me?’
After the migraine and the ringing in his ears and words, he could barely remember when they were said, everything just seems gone and off... the migraine gone, the ringing gone and all he was left with was a feeling of a void left on him, an emptiness, and it grows each day.
William has sorted every spell and every means, the very catalog of the entire library lies in his head and after scanning through every bit of scrolls and books, there was nothing that could rid him of this memory block.
It was something beyond his power... he was powerless to retain something as this, not even the Holy Library has an answer to his question.
And what made everything worse and tore his very soul... Ava has not said a word to him since that day, almost like she was mute again.
Every time they crossed paths in the library, mostly, she didn’t even look him in the eyes or utter even a single word, not her usual ’morning’, ’afternoon’, or ’evening’, almost like she was a ghost and it was breaking every part of him.
He didn’t know how to resolve this, because he knew without a doubt every word she said to him was his, and yet he hadn’t had the faintest memory of even saying it.
