Chapter 249 - Gavrael (Part VI)
"Please answer me, Father." Gavrael pleaded. The king can remember the last time he had said 'please' to him was when he was still a little boy. It pleased him somehow that his son as a young man is once again asking him a favour and saying 'please'.
"Alright. But you have to promise not to talk to anyone else about this. Never to any dark faes."
"Why?"
"Because it is forbidden to talk about the Light Faes. Legends have it that the King and Queen who created the treaty hated each other too much, that they began to erase their people's knowledge about the existence of the other race to avoid the next generation from getting too curious and attempting to cross the portals again. Both the rulers believed that not knowing each other's existence will be the best way for the two races to stop the wars between them. And this was why the dark faes, except the kings know nothing about the Light Faes."
"L-light faes…"
"Yes, that girl you saw is a light fae. They are like us but our complete opposite. The dark faes are called creatures of the dark and they, the light faes are the creatures of the light. They used to live in the land just above ours."
"Used to?"
"Yes. But they were completely annihilated and the dark faes were partly the cause of their being wiped out." The king answered and Gavrael's eyes narrowed.
"What? They were annihilated?" Gavrael looked at him with disbelief as he remembered the unoccupied and empty land he found when he arrived on the surface. However, Gavrael suspected that there might be a small number of the light faes that must have escaped the disaster that his father had said. Or else, how could that girl exist up there on the surface?
The king's face became sullen for a moment. "After a few millennia since the treaty, a few dark faes began to grow powerful enough to leave the portal. They mingled with the light faes in secret. A few of them fell in love with the light faes. They didn't return to the Under Land and that's why they lost their magic and their memories. After they lost their magic and memories, their bodies began to change as well and eventually they died as Dark Faes could not live that long without their magic. However, those dark fae children inherited some of the traits of the dark faes, like their dark hair and dark magic. Though the dark magic of those half dark faes aren't as strong as the purebloods, they are still strong enough. And those half dark faes began to increase in number. Those halflings became so numerous in the passing of times that they had occupied almost half of the Light Fae realm. Until a war between the Light faes and those half dark faes broke out. The Under Land wasn't aware of what was going on up there on the surface until the king during that time had decided to cross the portal to have a look above. But by then, it was too late. The war was already over, and he found out that both the Light Faes and the halves were all annihilated due to the power of the Light Queen. I too, first ventured out onto the surface when I was around your age, and I found out for myself that none of the Light faes had survived. That's why I am surprised at what you just said, about this girl you saw. It's good to know that some of them managed to survive." Gavrael only nodded. His father mentioned that he did not find any light faes, but it could be that those who survived must have run off to somewhere distant and safer to wait out things until they are more settled.
Gavrael was speechless at the recounting of the history that he had just heard. And that talk about the light faes did not leave his mind the entire time as he waited for time to pass so he could finally leave the Under Land again.
…
As soon as the night fell, Gavrael emerged from the tunnel again. He had now learned that time on the surface seemed to run faster compared to the Under Land. So, he planned to make sure he would not waste any more time in wondering around aimlessly again. There was just one thing he wants for now, and that was to see her again.
Gavrael went straight to that place where he had first found her yesterday. When he did not see her there, he decided to go into that citadel.
It was quite far from the entrance to the portal, but he did not mind it at all. He knew he had time and he was not going to be late and experience that pain again this time.
He arrived at the citadel deep into the night. And as he approached the tower where her room was located, Gavrael felt his heart skipped a beat. He materialized inside her room and quietly, he approached the bed, seeming to see a figure lying on it.
Seeing that she was still sleeping, a smile subconsciously broke out on his face. He bent forward, staring at her delicate face that looked innocent and peaceful in her sleep. Wonder and intrigue danced across his eyes as he drank in her beauty.
His hand slowly moved to touch her face, but he halted just centimetres from her. He blinked and his brows creased, realizing that the girl was not glowing like how she was yesterday. He could not see her wings as well as she was sleeping on her side and facing him. At that moment, she was just like the other humans he saw – without any magic. Does she lose her wings and her glow when she fell asleep? He wondered.
Nevertheless, glowing or not, he was still unable to take his eyes off of her. He just sat there looking at her, watching her, waiting for her to open her eyes but was not planning to purposely wake her up. He was simply questioning himself what he was doing, just watching a sleeping girl like this. Why does he feel that watching her like this was already satisfying enough?
