Chapter 197: At Long Last
~ [Music Recommendation: "Dreamspell" by Gary Stadler - available in Youtube and Spotify] ~ Please listen to it in loop while you read this part to experience the utmost beauty of this chapter 0_0 ~
As the king went mad and writhed in agony, trying to fight the Curse of Hatred within him, Rania instructed everyone to safety. She told them to go to the Forbidden Chambers for it was the safest place she could think of, knowing Elliot was there. But the crowd hesitated for they only knew of the horrors of the chambers.
"Rania!" Selena called out as she caught Rania in an embrace.
Rania jolted in surprise. "Selena!"
"You're alive! You're really alive!" Selena burst into tears. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry for that day… sniff… if not for me, you -"
"- If not for you, I wouldn't be who I am now," Rania smiled at her, and wiped her tears away. "Everything was meant to happen. Don't blame yourself. I'm happy you seem to be doing well."
