Chapter 140: Their Last Farewell
Feeling the grass tips brushing her feet, Leslie threw her gaze to her surroundings. Her almond eyes took in everything presented in front of her.
All Leslie could see was an emerald sea of vast grassland with rolling hills stretching out far.
Blooms of wildflowers carpeted the ground, adding splashes of colors. The crisp air was infused with the scent of the dancing wildflowers, its fragrance swirled to the tip of her nose.
’Where am I?’
The question lingered in Leslie’s mind from the first moment she found herself here. Standing barefoot on the ground, the breeze gently tousled her long hair, her skirt billowed around her.
’Why am I here? Is this the afterlife? Calix... what he’s doing now? Is he looking for me?’
Leslie still remembered how terrified Calix looked as her soul disintegrated in front of him. She had never seen such terror expressed by him before.
At first, dread and anxiousness took over her heart. But, the tranquility offered by this unfamiliar grassland loosened the claws of fear from her heart.
Another question rose in Leslie’s mind. She was certain she wasn’t brought here by mistake. There must be something going on.
Turning around, Leslie’s eyes drifted to where her ears picked up the echoes of gentle lapping of water. It was a creek.
Staring at the winding stream of water, Leslie slowly made her way there. Her feet touched the grass with each step.
