Chapter 173: Trapped And Helpless
PRESENT
Blood spilled from William’s nose and then he coughed a ton of it. He uses his hand to wage the metallic substance spilling from him, it suddenly felt like his insides were about to be ripped apart, he knew it was no doubt of the effect of recalling all those memories in one go, and Aldon’s curse branded on him.
A curse he has lived through, just like he stated, he has sought Ava out, have her in his arms, and have her vanish away from him making him leave through despair. William’s eyes trembled just at the mere thought of it.
"Now you know what happened and what was taken from you, you must leave now William, you have stayed in this plane too long," Basker said as the branch that pinned to William’s forehead to give him his memories retreated.
"It was because of me... because of Aldon’s will," William said, wiping the blood from his lips with the back of his hand. "If I hadn’t sought Ava as a Fairy she would have still been safe there... I brought her right back just for her to suffer"
"William... Remember when I told you your fate is now intertwined with Ava, it still stands the same. Even though the mortal Realm was the safest place it was never safe for her, her fate is too tied to Aldon, and even though death didn’t find her there she would experience something worse than death... but you finding her saved her from that fate"
"I do not know what to do Basker" William began looking distraught. "I cannot get to her, I cannot protect her, my soul is bound to this place and all I can do is watch... it is not fair"
"It wasn’t fair, to begin with, William... and I’m sorry you feel this way, your soul bound to this place keeps you from meddling, all you can do is stay"
"She needs me Basker," he shook her head. "I can feel it and yet I can’t do anything, what will I do?"
Basker wasn’t sure of what to say to him but all he could do was tell him the truth.
The entire plane began to vanish.
