章 214: I will stay

"M-mason?" 

She called out stuttering. Her heart started filling with longing and grief for her long lost friend. She tried everything in her power to find him but life was throwing stones at her one after another making it impossible for her to dodge them. 

She noticed that she was standing right before a room which looked larger than all the other ones and was designed in such a way that it seemed to be the end of a long hallway but entering into another room instead of exiting. 

She was worried about Akalia being alone back in the Palace laced with her enemies but now that she came so far she couldn't just back off. Thus compelled by her emotions and curiosity, she walked ahead only to be grabbed by the arm and pulled back. 

"Where do you think you are going?" She was met with Xavier's scowled face and harsh tone.
