Bab 259: 9.32: The Family I wanted (Urduk)

Erolith and Merrath teleported into a small lake in the middle of a lush jungle. The first thing they saw was a man who was sitting alone on the throne. His face was blank, but it was apparent that he had endured prolonged torture of loneliness.

"Let's meet your dad, Merrath," Erolith held his son's hand and walked on the lake towards the throne in the middle of the lake. "Urduk, it's me," Erolith called. But there was no answer.

Erolith knew it would be like this since Urduk was stuck in this place for almost two centuries. He endured day and night alone in this lake. It was enough punishment for him.

Erolith caressed Urduk's chin which has stubble on it. He raised Urduk's chin, so their eyes could meet. "Urduk, I've returned."

Urduk was unresponsive for a while until his gaze started to focus, and he saw the one he loved so much finally reappeared in front of his eyes. Urduk hugged Erolith tightly out of reflex. "Erolith, don't leave me!"
