Chapter 92 - An Epic Love Story

Jason watched the lady of the lake walking awake. He was in shock. He was stunned that Davy disliked so much to have sent a monster to innocent people for fun. 

He watched Davy with Aricus from the corner. The person he saw was different, the Davy that he knew was selfless. He put other people before himself, it didn't matter if those lives were of characters.

Seeing him in that sense hurt him. The man wasn't angry with Aphidia, Davy was bad at him and was resorting to burning everything down because of it. It beat facing him which was something Davy couldn't do. 

He turned around and saw Freya. He blinked nervously before her, Freya stepped forward and patted his hand in a comforting way. 

"You are right, he is angry and if you are going to do something about his anger. You'll need my help," she suggested to him. 

She could not tell what it was about the royal family. She was born to serve one, was the soulmate of another and couldn't help but have a soft spot for the last man around. 

"I can destroy that monster," she informed him and ushered him to tag along. Together they dashed away from there and sprint after the lady of the lake. 

"What is the plan?" Jason inquired excited to get some action. 

"This," Freya lunged up into the sky and did three flips in the air before landing in front of the lady of the lake. 

The girl brushed her hand over Freya to let her succumb to death of the poison that oozed out of her and braced her skin.

"Wrong move," Freya said with a mischievous smile on her face. "My turn," she stepped closer to the lady of the lake and embraced her. 

Freya's eyes glowed as she hugged her. The girl gasped parting her lips, her body was rendered weak and her body returned to normal.

"Thank you," the lady whispered before she turned into sand. 

Jason halted and shivered in fear. The girl had moves, he was relieved that they were on the same team. The way that she reduced the death girl to sand with just a hug made him worry about the pat that she gave him earlier. 

"Relax, I do not possess such powers. I have read about her kind and know their weakness," she announced. 

Jason didn't trust her. People didn't just turn into sand and the girl/ the sand had just killed four people by touching them. Someone like that surely wasn't so weak that could be defeated so easily. 

"Why do people fear death?" Freya asked him. 

Jason gave her question a thought. There was so much that he hadn't done yet, so much to experience and find out of the wonders that he was yet to discover.

Those would be his reasons to he scared of death. Death was the ultimate, there was no turning back from that, once one died, it was the end of their story. 

Their would be no more chapters left to add on since they won't be there to write those chapters. Dead people only had stories of the life that lived but can't tell it since dead is the permanent silence. 

"Because I want to live," he responded. 

"If you look death in the eye without fear it is a sign that you aren't clinging to life. Death doesn't take those who don't want to live, at least not easily," she answered to him. "And if you help it to realise that you understand it, you free it," she added. 

Jason furrowed his eyebrows. There was nothing about what the girl said that made any sense. It was literally the most co fusing explanation in the history of confusing. 

"Uhm..." Freya let out using her nose to point behind Jason. 

Jason turned around, he caught sight of Davy and Aricus behind him. They were watching the sand on the ground, Davy seemed disappointed by how things turned out. 

He had expected more harm to he caused into the palace but it was hardly what he had in mind. He shook his head for expecting that to go his way. Everything was going against him trying to break him. 

Davy turned on his heels not bothering to stay a little longer to watch the epic fail that was his life. 

Jason saw him leaving and got on his toes to chase after him. He understood what Davy was going through, he had been through that before when the novel was suffocating but he learnt to look at the bright side and now he wanted to built a home in the novel with the people that he cares for. 

He rushed to catch up to the man. Perhaps he had gone the issue wrongly. He realised that had he been alone then he would have sort a different approach to the monster problem, one that might have taken a long time and probably not worked. 

Death needed to be set free from being the villain of life and that was what helped to fix the problem. In the same way, he understood that forcing rhe idea of staying in the novel on Davy wouldn't be a good idea. The best thing that he could is let the man fund his truth by himself. 

"You are the love that walked into my life without a warning," Jason raised his statement. 

His words forced Davy to stop. He had heard those words way too many times to feel different. Confesding love was easy, it gets better with people who are good at lying. Hence he didn't believe it. 

"But perhaps you weren't mine to love. I won't force you to stay if you wish to leave," he said to him. 

Davy's eyes glowed as he felt the hold that kept him grounded lifting away. He twirled his body around and peered at Jason. 

"You are right. I am not yours to love," Davy said and left the body of the crown prince. Jason rushed over to Davion and caught him before he fell to the ground. 

That was not how he anticipated the conversation to go. He thought that if he gave Davy a chance then the man choose him, choose to stay behind so that they could be together again.

Yet, Davy didn't waste a second to leave the novel. If he said that the man's decision didn't bother him then he would be lying. 

It hurt to see how fast the man would ran from him. Not that he didn't feel like he deserved to be abandoned by the man. He was a jerk and Davy had every right to be cautious of him since he had hurt him once. 

He had the chance to apologise but no sorry came from his lips towards the man, another bitch move from his part. 

Jason found that he wasn't just a terrible boyfriend but also bad at giving apologies. He sighed. 

"But I can't leave the novel yet," Davy said returning to the crown prince's body. 

He opened his eyes and glanced at Jason. The man was right before, he still had some kinda, sorta feelings from the past they used to share. 

Not that it made a difference to him but Zillon strongly objects to it. Now his freedom also laid in the success of their love story. It had to be epic. 

That is what he gets for leaving someone to run things. He made himself the character and the new author decided what happened on the book and at the moment that was that he couldn't leave. 

"You are running away from your problems, he said," Davy uttered and scoffed. "So I guess you are stuck with me, so what stupid romcom lines did you have prepared for me?" He asked. 

Jason blinked his eyes surprised. The man had decided to stay after, he knew that his love was true and that it would get the man that he loved to say yes to him. 

It was the best thing that he had heard all day. His face lit up and a bright sweet smile bloomed on his face. 

"If you smile so much, I will leave," Davy threatened. Jason stopped smiling immediately. He wanted things to work out. To live everyday like it was his last so that when he looks back there would be no regrets. 

"I didn't say you stop smiling. I just said don't smile too much," Davy let out feeling bad for making Jason drop hid smile like that. 

The man had the chance to be with anyone he wanted, the book was ongoing and he could change the plot however he wanted. Yet, the fact that he persisted on him made him have a small soft spot for him in his heart, as friends. 

Things could never never what they were but that didn't mean they couldn't create a new spark.  That was what he planned to do.. An epic love story.
