Chapter 370: In Search of Light (Part Two)
"You are talking like you are planning to die." Annalise didn’t even like the thought of anything happening to Esmeray. It felt so wrong, as if his death would be her biggest failure in this war.
For some unknown reason, she had been feeling entitled to keep him safe.
Esmeray chuckled in response to her statement while he helped her climb down couple of huge rocks in their path. "I have no such plans. Instead of dying, I’m here to find what really belongs to me."
Right! They were currently in the Seelie Realm to find the light energy that had been hidden there for the past ten thousand years, before their enemies could get their hands on it.
"Are we heading in the right direction?" Annalise asked as they continued walking through the dark energy that was making way for them with their every step forward.
"The portal opens in what used to be the main gateway of the Seelie Realm back in the days, located nearby the Seelie Court. Even though this place no longer looks like its past self, I can still recognize it."
Annalise stole a glance at her surroundings and tried to imagine what the place must have looked ten thousand years ago, before its downfall. But no matter how hard she tried, she was unable to. The current state of the Seelie Realm was a far cry from its original beauty.
They walked through what used to be a luscious forest back in the old good days but was now nothing more than a vast land of old tall trees that had gone lifeless a long time ago.
In the heart of the Seelie Realm, the two of them ventured deeper into the desolate landscape. The once vibrant landscape, now reduced to a haunting expanse of lifeless land, served as a poignant reminder of the realm’s former glory. As they advanced, the oppressive dark energy thickened around them, creating an eerie atmosphere that mirrored the foreboding sense of urgency within Annalise.
