Bab 459: Do you regret it?

"I guess that was why you were brought here. To save them."

Alicia heard a voice. Once again, she was back in this dimension. There was nothing in the space except emptiness. Just like when she first communicated with Anne. 

"Amber?" Alicia called in surprise. She was used to seeing Anne, but never Amber. It was the first. 

"We finally meet," Amber spoke to her in a gentle voice. 

Yes. They finally met. 

But then...

"Why... am I here?" Alicia asked quietly before the memory began to come to her.

There was a battle. She had felt a surge of a strange power, which she harnessed and created a barrier to protect the people behind her. However, she had greatly underestimated what it meant to use magic. Magic was spiritual; therefore, it worked with the soul. It felt like the barrier was sucking out her soul and every ounce of energy was leaving her.
