Chapter 473: Chapter 473
Arthur's Point of View
Depths of the Hollow Forest
"Where are ya going!?" Cassidy quickly questioned as she grabbed my arm.
Looking down at her, I saw how nervous she was. "Calm down. I'm not going anywhere. There's just a few more people to meet." She slowly let go of my arm as she looked down. "Once all this is said and done, we're gonna talk about what you did."
Cass bit her lip as she responded sourly. "Ah did what Ah had to." The source of this content is N0veII_bIn
"I don't doubt it, but we're still going to talk about whatever it is you did with Ayda." Her head snapped up as her eyes met mine in surprise. "Yeah," I began as my eyes saw the Elf's magic coursing through her. "I can see it." Even Ayda turned away from that as her own family looked at her in concern. "There are many things I need to address moving forward."
Breeze nodded. "We know. You don't have to explain yourself." Then his attention turned to the tree. "Someone else has been waiting for you too."
Taking a deep breath, I replied. "I know."
My eyes focused on the green bit of energy on the tree. Reaching out, the barrier burst as the nook reappeared. However, while I was expecting to grab the ring, I was surprised that it was gone. Before I could ask Breeze, he had flown back and watched from above. That confused me, but it only grew as a once familiar voice spoke.
"It's been a long time, my King." My eyes grew wide at that as I turned and saw him standing there. "Or should I say, old friend?" Aydan asked.
"Aydan?" The name came out as a question in disbelief.
I was informed that I would retrieve his ring when I returned here. Everything that transpired from the moment it was planted to Aydan's death would be instilled upon the Elf's emerald ring. All his memories and anything else he thought would be important would remain. Yet here he was. A living manifestation of his magic was in front of me.
"You said the ring was what would reveal what happened after I returned to the present?"
That Elven fucker smiled widely as he gave me a knowing look. "I also said I had a few other tricks up my sleeve that would be revealed later, didn't I?" Shaking his hands in a dramatic manner, he continued. "Surprise!"
