behind the statue was the gate that towered about 100 meters in pure height alone, invoking a grappling hook on anyone, and the entire setting struck the image of reverence.
it was as if one was about to enter the house of a god. but currently, the door had been shut tightly and the runes on it were dim. it was a sign that it was not available yet.
thump
thump
the sound of two knees dropping to the ground resounded as felicie collapsed to her knees, tears dripping down her eyes.
whether it was from joy or sadness, only her heart could tell, but finally, she felt the joy that comes with having seen one of her greatest wishes.
to see the tower with her own eyes, and it should be closer to her hands than ever.
and today, she finally did what had been preached to her as impossible.
she finally stood before the tower, and more than alive too.
“i can’t believe it. all my life and finally here it is...” she stifled out but felt a warming palm over her shoulders as she quickly wiped off her tears, her face turning red from the embarrassment of being unable to reign in her emotions.
“i’m fine,” felicie said.
“i know,” hael replied as he helped her to her feet before turning to look in front where some otherworlders could already be seen all quietly sitting cross-legged, waiting.
“it seems there are some that beat us to it, but the rush is all for naught as the door has yet to be opened...” hael mused to himself as he looked at the shut gate and he could guess that was what the rest were also waiting for.
right now, the sun had gone down a lot, and the moon was starting to appear in the sky.
silence reigned for a while, the only sound being the crackling flames, and soon the marshmallows were more than ready. hael passed everything back to felicie despite her refusal, but it fell on deaf ears.
foods were just too strange for him, that he found them not at all pleasing to the eye and more of a waste of his energy. they just weren’t appealing anymore.
that left a lot of food to felicie to battle all alone.
in less than three hours, the marshmallows were gone and the night was also getting to its darkest hour.
“so, um, this is it?” felicie asked nervously, her fingers clinking off each other in nervousness.
“yes. the contract has been completed. you led me to the entrance of the tower, and in exchange, i offer you my protection and now we both are good.
i am right before the tower and you have not even a single bit of damage to yourself. not even a hair damage. that makes our contract complete.
you’re now free from the devil...” hael joked causing felicie to laugh out loud, but he could still sense her laugh was still not as solid as it usually was, and she was still a bit nervous.
“so tell me, what do you do from here onwards?” hael asked as felicie sighed before turning her head to the tower, a certain familiar gaze in her eyes.
“that’ll be impossible....” hael immediately replied as she turned her gaze away and stared at him, sighing once more dejectedly.
“i know...but i have to try.” felice answered with the same stubborn expression she had done from the beginning of it.
the one even her uncle couldn’t have stopped her from and the one zeras knew no attempt of his could have changed her mind.
she was a naturally stubborn person that even the threat of death could stop.
