章 201: 201: The decision [pt2]

"Keep holding on for now. The pain will blow away in a second."

Noctis's voice was like melted sugar in Elysia's ears. It soothed her soul and allowed her to focus on her condition. The pain was starting to fade away as well by now. The curse was finally losing its hold over Elysia's soul.

She coughed to get her airway clear and to make breathing easier. It was such a simple but difficult thing to do in her condition.

The worst part was that Elysia could feel her bond break apart under Noctis's magic but she could not stop this interference. She could feel Adam's magic reaching out for her but there was nothing in her hand.

"I-It hurts. Please stop."

Elysia was begging for that bond to come back. It made her feel cold and desperate to get that comfortable warmth back.
