Chapter 467: Above and beyond power.
Elliana didn’t move from her place. She kept standing under the shower head, the slow water dripping on her head and rolling down her body like soft droplets dripping down the cone of the mountains.
She stood there with her eyes closed, hoping the water would wash away some of her sadness and give her strength to go through another day.
She might appear strong and smiling in front of others, but deep down she knew she was crumbling.
She might have told Nathaniel that she would leave the kingdom and come with him to the Himalayan palace, it wasn’t easy. The idea of leaving one person that you fell so hard for wasn’t supposed to be easy in the first place, but she had never thought that as the day would be near, her heart would almost squeeze painfully in her chest.
She didn’t know what a heart attack felt like, but the clenching of her heart and the fast beating of anxiousness would surely become the reason for her heart failure at this pace.
’Are you ashamed of us?’ Circe asked when their human kept thinking about being a dark witch. The benefit of doubt appeared in their subconscious too as they were reforming to become a different personality and they didn’t want to be hated by one person they were supposed to protect with their all.
Elliana sighed.
’I don’t have it in me. I can’t hate a part of myself, I don’t have it in me. I can never hate you because you are me. I indeed hate being a dark witch because of the rumors circling the evilness and the prejudice, but I can never hate something that protected me so many times. You realize you are my life, right?’ Elliana asked, and Circe nodded, feeling relieved.
’You have us,’ Circe whispered.
’I have you,’ Elliana chanted the words, trying to gather strength from within.
Elliana wiped the water from her face before she quickly washed up and wrapped a towel around herself.
