Amongst the woods, Hellion felt the pull that he usually felt around the dragon however he didn't see him anywhere around him. The dragon rarely stayed in the underworld despite it being dangerous for him to roam outside when the Royal military was after him and Hellion. Thinking that the dragon might have passed through this way, he shrugged off the feeling and continued on his path towards the lake.
The lake was just like usual, calm and silent as if it never experienced anything, never witnessed anything. To some it seemed quiet and nonchalant and to some it appeared to be mocking the ignorant ones about the secrets she knew. To Hellion it was nothing but a damned sight at that moment. It was going to take away Claudia forever but what could he do about it. It had to happen that way. Both of them knew they had to part ways from the moment they met.
