Bab 269: Gavrael (Part XXVI)

"Go back without me Gav… please. I will be right here, waiting. I'll be safe in Crescia." She begged him tearfully and then seeing that portal was closing quickly as he could not maintain the magic keeping it opened, she pushed him back and the darkness swallowed him as the portal's opening vanished in a wink. 

Evie then called upon the smallest of her dragons and when she was out of the tunnel, she was surprised that the sun was already so high in the sky. How long did he get exposed to the sunlight? She wiped the tears that were streaming down her cheeks and commanded the dragon to bring her to Crescia.

…

In the Under Land, Gavrael finally opened his eyes, only to find himself waking up in his room. His mother was sitting next to him, and she was crying.

He sat up and was about to reach out to console her, but suddenly he remembered Evie. He immediately jumped up from his bed, but his mother seized him before he could run off.
