Chapter 54 - A Cliff

"I can't tell you"... Azai said looking at him with distrust.

"You don't need to tell me, because I know clearly where she's from. I just need you to confirm it, but since you wouldn't, I would tell you that I can't attend to her because the source of her pain isn't here with us".

"I should bring him here"...

he asked with a hint of viciousness and fright in his voice.

"It's like trying to clear a garden by picking up leaves everyday, which is just impossible as long as the tree stands ".

The aged man spoke wisely

He replied simply,

"He can't be here, is there any other solution?".

"There is but, her link with this guy would have to be broken, that way whatever he feels, she would never be affected.

It's that simple".

"Can you do that?"... curiousity crept in his eyes

"Yes".. the man assured him.

"His condition is worsening and so is hers, if you waste too much time, I don't know what would befall her".

"Do it!"... he ordered with no further hesitation.

The old man said,

"What I would do would affect him, as he is alive".

"Go on with it"... He replied nonchalantly.

....

"Don't hurt my sister!".... Quilan shouted with a grave tone. His voice echoed around the whole place.

"Brotherly love, I see. I admire you for that. I'll let her go".

He released the chains on her neck.

Quilan didn't ever expect him to just let her go.

She was breathing like a helpless person.

Alvah felt weird suddenly, he held his chest, trying to understand what was happening to him.

It was like something left him, something was cut off.

Besides the previous pain which he held up until now.

Alvah fell on his knees, and coughed out blood. His heart throbbed in pain, tears dropped from his eyes.

He screamed in pain, his cell chain fell off of both of them. Quilan rushed to him to kill him instantly.

Alvah used his last energy, he teleport behind Quilan, he brought out dáinn, about to kill him when his sister appeared in front and took the cut.

Because of the height decrease, it went straight into her heart

"Leona!!".... Quilan shouted.

Alvah was dizzy already, Quilan couldn't hold his sister as he froze out of shock.

Alvah pulled out the sword, fire came out with it. He took a few steps backwards. He and Leona fell down at the same time.

"Quilan"... Leona called his name.

"Zillah"... Alvah called her name.

She died.

Hours passed by, Zillah woke up in her bedroom. Her vision was blurry. When she got herself she quickly stood up.

"Alvah"... she shouted and stood up.

"How will I get there?"... she asked herself, wondering about the room.

She ran out of her room, she ran with speed till she got outside because she couldn't teleport.

"I have to trace my way to the valley"... she said.

By she woke up, it was evening in Elysian. She ran through the bushes, to where she could find a valley.

She has been to about six valleys, none of them were the ones she was looking for. She even found Alvah's lonely garden.

She never realized that it was already night, she kept looking everywhere.

It was seven but she kept searching. Eight, she kept searching. Nine, ten, eleven passed away.

By eleven-thirty, she fell on the grasses and began crying.

Heavy tears rolled down her eyes with unsteady breathing. She wiped it off quickly and stood up. As she stood up, she fell down back down and fainted.

She stayed there till the next day.

Aeron came in to check on her. She wasn't there.

' Where is Zillah?'. he asked himself.

He went to go look for her around Elysian.

When she woke up, she had blurry vision and a slight headache.

she looked around before getting up, she did another round of searching today.

Another day had passed she couldn't find Alvah. She thought to find Ghazan instead.

"Uncle!"... she shouted walking slowly through the bushes. " Uncle!, uncle!! ".

She took a race ahead.

She found no one.

She fell down and cried again for more than an hour.

Her eyes were heavy, she covered it with her palms. She stood up quickly, running to a river side she washed her face in it.

"I have to go home"... she said.

Going home, she has to retrace her steps.

It took her a day to get back home. she arrived in the morning of the next day.

She sat on the floor in her room, staring into nothing but air. Remembering the good but few memories she had, she buried her face between her knees and cried out loud.

She locked her door just in case someone passed by and hears her.

Three days passed, no signs of Alvah or Ghazan.

Four days passed, she laid on her bed looking at the ceiling all day, anyone who came to her room, when they would knock she would not answer.

On the fifth day, she went looking again. No luck for her. She was headed towards a Cliff, hopelessly.

"Uncle!!!"... she shouted one more time. No one answered.

She fell off the cliff into the water.

Ghazan appeared at the edge of the cliff, "Zillah"... he shouted her name.

"I'm sure I heard Zillah's voice". He doubts that it's her.

"Zillah!".... he shouted once again.

She came up from the water breathing heavily. She looked up and saw someone, "uncle!"... she shouted.

Ghazan looked down, he saw someone in the water, he teleported and brought her out.

"You're alive Zillah?"..., he asked.

Shock, surprise, speechless, dumbstruck, were all expressions seen on his face at once.

"Uncle"...., she hugged him tightly and cried.

"Zillah"...

he hugged her back tightly.

" Why didn't you look for me "..

.she asked, looking at him in the eye with her swollen eyes.

"I'm sorry Zillah, I never thought you would make it through the third evaluation, forgive me".

"I thought I'll never see you again".

she placed her head slowly on his chest

He stroked her hair, " forgive me".

"Uncle"..., she called.

"What is it, why are you crying?"...

he asked her wiping her tears for her.

"I can't find Alvah anywhere".

"Alvah"..

He repeated confused at her statement.

"Yes".. she nodded

" I've searched for him everywhere but I can't find him".

"I was with Alvah yesterday"...

he said to her with a narrowed brow.

"Alvah is half dead. I thought it was because you were dead already that was why he was in that condition".

"Come with me, he held her and teleported to where he found Alvah".

She looked at Alvah's sever and helpless body.

She wanted to run to him when he stopped her.

"Don't go any closer".... he warned.

"This is too much, you should stay away from him".

"Alvah's power and energy is in the air at the moment. I don't know how and why but don't forget that he is of a negative energy. It would affect you".
