章 269: Procession Of Shame

"He probably disappeared when the light thingy passed through each one of us." Elian added, vaguely remembering how his heart was at the brink of leaving his chest when the powerful light passed right through him, and he came out fine. "Elijah had been a pure-blood, his transformation was permanent to say the least, he couldn't turn human, so it was impossible to survive the barrier spell."

"I'm so sorry." Madeline wished there was more she could offer him for his loss, but all she could do was say sorry to him. She had been so down by Cassian's absence she didn't realize Elian had lost his twin to the barrier spell. Now that she thought about it, the barrier spell only seemed to have taken something away from them, the struggles and everything they had gone through to get to that stage, but in return, they lost souls that mattered more to them.
