Chapter 511: Memories (II)

But now he is being forced to watch it all happening once again. He was being made to view the darkest day of his life once again. However, this time he was seeing the reason why she was even there when she was supposed to be with the queen recuperating. He saw her lips moving as she rushed to where he was. She was saying something, as if uttering a prayer. 

Then he began to hear her small murmurs between her pants. "Please don't. Don't do it. Gideon… don't!" 

Her words. It made him curious now. What was it that she was murmuring? His heartbeat began to race harder as all the pain and suffering over the many years rippled in his heart. Why? Why did she sound like she knew what he was about to do? How did she even know? He had never mentioned his plan to her – ever – because he had not wanted her to worry about him. He did not want to give his beloved any burdens to bear. So how? How had she even known that he was at the abyss at that moment? 

The desire to know more became even stronger now and he reached out, wanting to know her thoughts too, aside from watching her memories. He wanted to know. What had actually driven her to go out there and look for him? 

He reached out as far as he could and to his shock as well as relief, he started to see her thoughts too. And there he began to see it all… that she… this woman that he had loved was just like him. She too had a deep secret she had kept that she had never revealed to him even though he was her most beloved person. She had kept from him the fact that she had the gift of seeing into the future through her dreams. She was actually the descendant of the long lost legendary dark fae clan, called the Drasias, who were able to summon and control ice dragons. This clan, the tales had said, had fought against the light faes' fire dragons a long time ago.

Gideon saw her dream that he was going to succeed from sealing the abyss. But in exchange, he was going to lose his mind due to the impossible amount of magic he needed to force out from himself. He was going to break… literally. His mind, his heart and his soul would fall apart, and he would then be reborn as the new villain that would destroy everything all over again, just only to reach the end, getting killed like what had happened to his father. She obviously did not want that to happen to him. 

Therefore, she had rushed ahead, praying that she could make it and would be able to stop him from sacrificing himself. 

She succeeded. She had managed to reach him in time. Just as a beam of thick and powerful dark magic from his palms hit the abyss, she had appeared and bravely flew towards him, withstanding his intense power with everything that she had. 

He saw through those memories being fed into his mind, that Leah was hugging him tightly from behind. "Stop. Don't do this. I can't let you do this. We'll find another way. Not like this. It'll kill me. Gideon… please listen to me." She screamed and cried out at him, but to no avail. He did not respond to her piteous cries as his eyes had already gone dark. He would no longer respond to her. 

"No! Please don't! Leah!!" Gideon shouted out heartbreakingly on this end of the memory, despite knowing that this was no longer in the present anymore. He knew what she was about to do, and he could do nothing but desperately scream at her. He did not even care if he was just a spectator. He just could not bear watching this. However, the memory was cruelly being played out in his mind despite him not wanting to watch it play out.

But… "I'm so sorry," she said, crying, as she kissed his face. "Forgive me for doing this, Gid… my darling… But don't worry, I will… I will never, ever leave you. This, I can promise you. I love you…" A sad and loving smile curved across her lips as her eyes gazed at the face so precious and dear to her.

Then she formed a dagger purely out of magic and plunged it swiftly into Gideon's stomach. And the instant a drop of his blood fell to the ground, the dark wall that was being slowly built around the abyss broke and crumbled down, as monsters came pouring out from the abyss like a horde of mad creatures rushing out for vengeance. It was as if they were out just to destroy whoever and whatever it was that had harmed their master.

She shut her eyes tight as the force of the magic coming from the abyss along with the monsters pushed them both back. There was a blast of darkness created as Gideon's magic and the darkness coming out from the abyss collided against each other. And Gideon lost consciousness due to the effect of the magic that Leah had forced into him when she stabbed him with her magic dagger. 

"I'm so, so sorry… I will always be with you, Gideon. I promise. I won't… I will never, ever leave you." she whispered faintly before the monsters came at her and tore her apart for hurting him, for drawing blood from their master. 

And Gideon could only scream out hoarsely in an unspeakable agony as he watched her die and incinerated herself and finally disappeared into nothing. Not even ashes were left.

Thank you for the concern and warm wishes my loves. I'm doing fine. Thankfully my migraine is not the severe type and not that painful but it lasts quite long. Two days mostly so i still had a bit of a hard time writing today. I hope these 2 chaps aren't that very hard to follow. But tomorrow, this curse (my migraine) will finally leave me alone again. 

If you have questions about these 2 chaps you can ask on the comment box, i might answer or some other readers might give explanation.
