OUTSIDE THE CHAMBER.
"Something's going wrong," Gabriel said to Vulcan with furrowed brows while the latter raised his brows as if he is saying "You only sensed that now?"
"The moment that lady disappeared, I could sense that something is wrong." Vulcan shrugged when Gabriel glared at him.
"And where did that Olen go? He disappeared too." Gabriel frowned.
"Why don't you guys disappear with him then?" They heard a grumpy voice scoff at them and turned towards its source.
"Oh!! Looks like someone lost his way. Look at that grumpy face." Gabriel raised his brows at the sudden visitor and smirked.
"Am not grumpy." Dylan gritted his teeth and snapped at Gabriel while the latter just shrugged.
"What happened?" Vulcan asked Dylan seriously stopping their bickering and both of them became serious too.
"Bella is gone! I don't know where but I guess it's something very serious. She is sick and on top of that she lost her ability to sense others too." Dylan said with a frown.
After hearing Dylan, both Gabriel and Vulcan looked at each other as they thought of a possibility.
"I know what you guys were thinking about. But, I am damn sure that its not possible." Dylan said as he turned to them.
"Olen, Sirena and now Bella. Three of them disappeared almost at the same time. Something's not right." Gabriel said and Vulcan nodded, different possibilities flashing in his mind.
"Let's find that priest, I mean that Roose. May be we can find something from that guy." Gabriel said and the three of them went to Roose's chamber without any delay.

"Why can't I see everything that happened. I saw very little and everything went like a flash." Cara said looking at Layla's back with her tear stained face.
The tormenting voices were no longer heard but Cara still felt her heart ache tremendously as if it is being ripped open. She is now back in her human form( spirit form) and looking at the dark woman who is now looking at something far away.
"Hey! Layla?" Cara called Layla weakly as she walked towards the latter slowly.
When she still said nothing, Cara gently touched Layla's shoulder and nudged her slightly. But, as soon as her hand touched the dark woman's shoulder, black smoke started crawling and spreading on Cara's hands shocking her to the core.
Layla turned around when she felt someone's touch and frowned when she saw the black smoke crawling on Cara's hand.
"Ven! Retreat!" The black smoke stopped suddenly and surprisingly started crawling backward obediently as soon as Layla commanded it. It retreated completely and entered Layla's body leaving no signs of it on Cara's hands.
"Don't touch me next time." Layla said calmly and quickly stepped away from her.
"But, what is it?" Cara asked, her eyes wide in shock and wonder from what she saw.
"You don't need to know about it right now." Layla looked at Cara and answered calmly.
"Alright. But, what were you thinking about earlier? You didn't even hear me." Cara asked curiously but found Layla looking at her coldly.
"Okay...Okay... I will stop." Cara muttered and looked around when she heard Layla speak.
"Do you know what this place is called?" Cara heard Layla speak and turned towards her.
"This is The Gate of The Cosmos. And you see this white smoke everywhere? It is the result of a defense spell casted by all the Gods and Goddesses to protect the Gate of Cosmos, when this place was cursed back then. Even your lover participated in the spell casting. After all, isn't he the great God of Air."
"This place was cursed? Why?" Cara asked ignoring Layla's taunt.
"The Gate of Cosmos was surrounded by divine water from the beginning. But, during the cosmos war, The Goddess of water cursed the entire cosmos before she died. All the divine water got evaporated and left this land barren. And for the first time ever, The protection barrier of the Gate of Cosmos was broken and it created chaos everywhere. So, the Gods and Goddesses came up with an alternative."
Cara nodded and was about to ask something when she felt someone touch her shoulder from the back. She turned her head with a snap and found a fair hand on her shoulder.
"Why don't you go back for now, Cara?" Cara heard someone speak and before she could turn her head and look at the person, everything turned black and she disappeared.
"You should have just let me finish it, don't you think?" Layla smirked looking at the woman before her.
"Just what in the world were you thinking when you brought her here?" Layla heard the woman snap at her and smiled sweetly.
"I was just showing her around." Layla scoffed rolling her eyes at the woman before her.
"Don't you think that you are protecting them too much, Sirena? Or Should I call you, the Goddess of Fate?"
