Chapter 223: Chapter 223- Return

*The Next Day*

After an entire day spent being pampered by Acrypha, Talon slept through the night with the beauty sitting next to him like a caring mother. The entire time, she kept massaging his head and talking to him whenever he wanted.

They spent a peaceful time together, something that was very rare for Talon. He was able to relax completely and try to forget about all the responsibilities he had on his shoulders. He also felt a lot better about his mother's death and by a lot better, it meant that he was still very devastated. But, he wasn't a completely broken mess as he was before.

The abyss that wanted to suck him in before was now slowly vanishing, leaving behind a deep trace that perhaps would never disappear. He knew that it would take a very long time for him to heal and perhaps he would never be able to actually fully heal. But, he didn't care about that. He was ready to carry this pain to his grave if he had to.
