"You cannot go there yet?" The spirit's voice echoed over and over in his ear. His ears started ringing and the loss hit him hard. Eon fell to his knees as the hard fight took its toll on his body. He could feel a figure beside him trying to hold him up.
'Why is this happening now? Why can't we just live happily? Why? Why did you take her away from me?' Eon didn't know who he was asking this to. Maybe it was the gods above, or he just needed to make sense of what actually happened.
He stared at the place where the portal pulled Rielen in. He watched it disappear slowly, unable to chase after her. He felt like a failure once again. He knew the spirit was trying to get his attention, but he just couldn't take his eyes off that spot. The spot where she was pulled away from him. The spot where the portal was.
