Bab 629: Be strong

Back at the ice-dragon's mountains…

"Gideon!? What is going on?! Please, look at me!" Vera's yell echoed around them as she knelt on the ground cradling Gideon's face. The man had fallen to his knees a while ago and the smoke-like dark magic kept oozing from him uncontrollably. She was getting more afraid as he had suddenly collapsed for no apparent reason. The only thing that seemed out of the ordinary was that flash of bright light.

The colour of his eyes was now flashing between blue to black as his dark magic began to whirl around him like a forming storm, threatening to blow Vera away.

"Get away… from me, Vera." he said through his gritted teeth, looking as though it was really hard for him to even focus and form the words to speak to her. "Take your dragon… and go find Evielyn –" he managed to choke out the words he needed to say to her.

"No! I can't leave you here! You will be coming with me!" She shook her head and grabbed harder onto him.
