Chapter 269 - Gavrael (Part XXVI)
"Go back without me Gav… please. I will be right here, waiting. I'll be safe in Crescia." She begged him tearfully and then seeing that portal was closing quickly as he could not maintain the magic keeping it opened, she pushed him back and the darkness swallowed him as the portal's opening vanished in a wink.
Evie then called upon the smallest of her dragons and when she was out of the tunnel, she was surprised that the sun was already so high in the sky. How long did he get exposed to the sunlight? She wiped the tears that were streaming down her cheeks and commanded the dragon to bring her to Crescia.
…
In the Under Land, Gavrael finally opened his eyes, only to find himself waking up in his room. His mother was sitting next to him, and she was crying.
He sat up and was about to reach out to console her, but suddenly he remembered Evie. He immediately jumped up from his bed, but his mother seized him before he could run off.
"Stop! My god, son. Please. You are killing yourself!" the queen cried. "Look at you… look at what you're doing to yourself!" Beatrice sobbed. She had been worrying herself silly about Gavrael day after day. But her son was unstoppable.
"I'm fine, mother –" He tried to brush his mother off as how he usually does.
"You are not fine!" His mother stood up and exclaimed loudly, all the while still not letting go of Gavrael's wrists. She was heartbroken when Gavrael was brought to her, bleeding from the cuts all over his body and unconscious.
At that moment, the king appeared and hugged Beatrice from behind.
"I'll speak with him, wife. Leave him to me." Belial whispered to his wife and Beatrice could only retreat. She had been nagging Gavrael almost every time he arrived late and hurt from his excursion on the surface, but her words did nothing to stop him. Perhaps, he would listen if it was his father who spoke to him.
"Gavrael… I know everything that you've been doing. You manipulated time and now… you're trying to do this dangerous magic just so you could leave this place and keep your powers. I didn't say anything before this as I trusted you knew your limits. But now, I believe you are becoming too much, ruining yourself –" King Belial started talking.
"Father." Gavrael cut him off as he put on his shirt. His wounds were already fully healed. "I wonder what kind of sacrifices and hardships you've endured to have mother. With the way things are, I believed you've suffered as much as I did, perhaps, even more. But here you are now… you are the strongest and you have mother with you. I know you both worry about me, and I also know you understand me more than anyone else does. I'll do anything to be with her. Power, painless life… carefree life… I don't want any of those things if I can't be with her. I'd rather suffer and experience every kind of pain there is as long as I am able to be with her." Gavrael told his father straight out, passion and sincerity shining from his determined eyes. And Belial watched and observed closely on how his son spoke and brought himself as he was expressing his views.
The king was silent for a long while, seemingly caught in his thoughts, just staring at his son.
And then he sighed. "Alright, do what you want, Gavrael. I will not stop you anymore. But promise me one thing, don't die. Your mother would slaughter me if you did." A lopsided smile appeared on the handsome face of King Belial. One could see where Gavrael got his stunning looks if they were to see the king and queen. Gavrael truly inherited the best features from both his parents.
Gavrael smiled. "I won't, Father. Who will protect my woman if I die?"
"That's the spirit, my boy! However, you are too reckless for your own good. You've used up too much magic since the day you started leaving the Under Land. You are abusing your powers and your body and now look at you. I've told you before, every time you are late, your magic and body will suffer considerably and now you actually dared to stay out there far beyond your time limit. You won't be able to achieve the amount of power you need to leave the Under Land at this rate." The king explained, surprising Gavrael. Even though the king did not meddle in his personal affairs, he knew that like his mother, the king did not want him to leave the Under Land for good as well.
And that was why he had never helped him even though he knew of Gavrael's intentions. But now here he was, saying this and Gavrael could feel the support he needed at this time.
"So, you're saying the reason I keep failing is because …"
"Yes. You have tremendous powers. But you are underestimating the amount of magic you are losing every time you go up to the surface. My advice is, don't leave the Under Land for a period of time and store your magic. Just for now. When your magic reserves are enough, I believe you won't fail again."
"How long is this period of time we're talking about…?" Gavrael looked at his father intently as he asked this question.
