BXBX NOVEL Chapter 507 - SoulSilver Land
Ayra\'s mind was full of questions since it was her first time, finding a vampire without their vampire kingdom. According to her mother\'s words, vampires aren\'t allowed to stay outside of kingdom except very few like her. She lived in Dalastia but had the preveilege to enter into Vampire Kingdom without any permission.
Cedric didn\'t answer her immediately as if he was immersed into deep thoughts. Hearing her question, he casted her side glance, hissing in a low voice,
" Don\'t ask about his origin, Princess. We came to look for our own answer and I am sure that he had our answer."
At his words, Ayra buried down her curious and looked more suspicious on the man in mediation. Not long after she stopped questioning, the bearded man finally opened his eyes lazily. His dark lavatic eyes lurked brightly through the darkness. When he pulled his eyes on Ayra, the color of his eyes slightly dimmed. His lips pursued together into a tight smile,
" The first hybrid."
Ayra was a bit shocked by his remark. It was impossible to call someone hybrid with a single glance. Pushing her thoughts back in her mind, she smiled politely, admitting with a slight nod as her eyes snapped aside to fall on her husband. Cedric didn\'t seem surprised by his ability. That\'s why, he went over there to show her Ayra.
The bearded man smiled slightly at her face. It wasn\'t a happy smile but a deep, mysterious one as if he was going through the phase of transparent emotions. Pulling his eyes back at the ground, he spoke in a very soft and calm voice,
" Your Highness! Please come here and sit down."
Cedric nodded following his order and sat down along with Ayra beside him. His thin lips quirked up into a smile, saying,
" As you can identify my wife in a glance, I guess, you already know why we are here, Master Arbert."
Master Arbert, the man coming from the descendant of vampire bloodline had a great history with this dragon\'s world. From the beginning of era, many creatures had left their world and led another life for the welfare of other creatures. Master Arbert followed the same path but the only difference was that he didn\'t choose it willingly like others. A painful lose pushed him to choose this lonely path and help others to solve their tragedies.
They sat down facing each others together. Master Arbert looked up at Ayra whose expression was clouded with questions and asked for her hand gently,
" Show me the mark, Princess."
After attaining Cedric\'s approval, she finally showed him her mark, placed right into his cold, freezing hand. Master Arbert stole one single glance and the next moment, his face had lost clear, fear surfaced on his bearded expression.
That tensed Ayra including Cedric whose jaw tightened subconsciously. He wasn\'t expecting any danger for Ayra. He had already enough issues to handle on. Ayra spoke watching Master Ambert inspecting her mark,
" My parents never knew what did mean exactly. Is it something dangerous, Master Arbert? I am worried about it."
The man didn\'t seem to hurry with his answer. After double checking her mark, his brows knitted together tightly. His expression wasn\'t positive but Cedric only hoped that he could help them finding the answer.
Master Arbert withdrawed his eyes from her wrist and glanced up to see between Ayra and Cedric. They were expecting his answer and he spoke after giving it thought,his red eyes turning gloomy,
" The witch always attempt to leave something remarkable in her opponent\'s body. I can only guess that it has to do something with her destined mate. Obviously, it isn\'t good with her fortune. The only person who can tell what this mark means is Enchantress, the great witch herself."
The refference of Enchantress left her stomach twisting in anger. That witch nearly killed her daddy and her mother who sacrificed her half of life for her. Killing thousand Enchantress wouldn\'t be able to repay what she had done for her safety, life and upbringing.
Cedric didn\'t seem to like the idea. He stared up at Master Ambert in disapproval, speaking in a worried voice,
" But Enchantress is already dead. How come we demand an answer from her?"
Master Ambert smiled mysteriously upon his words. His hand perched down to draw something on the ground as he replied to him,
" Death is the only door between life and soul, Your Highness. Enchantress might have destroyed from this world but her soul is still alive. If we can question her, perhaps she might tell Princess Ayra why did she give her this mark."
Ayra pressed her lips together, her face full of agony,
"Enchantress had deep hatred towards my family. Why would she help us, Master Ambert?"
Master Ambert sighed softly and explained further in a deep tone,
" Once you leave the world, no pain, hatred or remorse can touch you, my dear. I believe that Enchantress has already forgotten what grudges she had in this living world. All you need to be is calm and soft with your words to know your answer."
Ayra nodded with understanding. Long time passed after her death, Enchantress had no purpose to hold the grudges between them. She agreed afterwards and looked up at Master Ambert longingly,
" Then... tell me, how can we reach her soul? How can I get my answer from her?"
His eyes twinkled mysteriously after her words. Pulling the corner of his lips slightly, he spoke glancing around shortly,
" You are already in SoulSilver land."
Ayra was stunned before looking around curiously. So those were really souls who were watching on her in their way back to this exact place. Master Ambert continued drawing circles with unknown marks on the ground,
" But you can\'t connect her with your living body."
Cedric blurted frowning deeply,
" What do you mean?"
Master Ambert pushed his head up slightly, replied with another smirk on his face,
" You have to leave your soul to connect with Enchantress."
