章 164: Hollow

¤●¤

Nicklaus stood, the wind whistling around, an intense cold to it, his eyes still lingered on where Yelena disappeared along with the portal. His eyes saddened, his once green orbs lost their light and now only darkness filled it.

"Why did she leave?", was the only word he could utter, as a feeling so strong consumed him, eating him from within, his looks mixed with confusion and extreme sadness. He wanted to understand her reason, why she would turn her back without giving him an explanation, and why all this was happening right now, had his greatest nightmare come true?

"Nicklaus," Celeste said gently behind him, her eyes sad, she had never seen her brother like this, he seemed so lost, from this angle even without seeing his face, she could feel the hollow feeling radiating from his body, it was all around him and it weakened his aura, the very first.
