章 176: Has it been a thousand years?

Lilin's POV: 

Aaron was not very happy that I was leaving him. Somehow I managed to convince him that this is for the best. Then I realized the big mistake that I made.

I made him get too attached to me! I should not have let that happen. This is one of the mistakes that I made despite knowing the consequences of it. Whatever! I should deal with him later. I have a bigger issue to handle now. 

It was early morning when I appeared at the entrance of the Shadow castle from the black fumes. The trees and shrubs around the castle had gotten so denser than the last time I was here.

The grasses on the ground and the flowers were wet with the dew. All the glory goes to the Goddess of the Spring! She has blessed the lands generously this time. 

Just when I was admiring the beauty of the land, a howling noise woke me up to my senses. I scanned the surroundings around me anxiously.
