Chapter 49: Prisoner’s Fate (1)
Darkness surrounded Adrian when he woke up. Confused, he got up and walked around to find something... anything. It was then he heard a familiar voice calling out to him.
"Vesper!" he exclaimed and ran towards the direction of the voice.
However, he wasn’t expecting to see the horrifying sight before him. Vesper was surrounded by those Raven bastards as they continuously shot her, all the while laughing their minds off.
"LEAVE HER ALONE!" Adrian yelled at the top of his lungs and charged towards them.
But something was amiss. He tried to reach her, to fight them off, but my movements were sluggish as if stuck in slow motion.
It was then he noticed Vesper’s eyes. There was no pain in them. Nothing. Strangely enough, she looked happy and peaceful as she stared at Adrian.
"What are you doing?" Adrian asked her, but a minotaur approached them from behind before she could reply. "Watch out!"
Adrian shouted to warn her about the creature. But his voice seemed distant, drowned out by the strange silence. The minotaur swung its sword in her direction, slashing her back... still, her smile didn’t disappear.
"Carry on, Adrian..." she whispered, a faint smile on her face. "I’ll be waiting for you."
