Chapter 616: The beginninng

His words rocked Evie's world. And it was not in a good way.

The vision flashed across her mind as vivid as that very night when she had first seen it. Fear slowly gripped her heart, squeezing tighter as the unwanted vision unfolded in her mind again as if to force her to understand that the war only ended that very moment when she, the Light Queen killed Gav, the last royal dark fae standing, the king of darkness. Just remembering that very scene that had been burned into her mind was d.a.m.ning in itself. And with Klauz mentioning it like this, it even caused more upheaval within her internally.

A shaky breath escaped from her lips. She clenched her fists so tightly that blood had begun to drip from her balled up fists.

"No, Klauz." Evie's voice was as hard as steel now, a promise of doom burning like the h.e.l.lfires of Sheol itself in her amber eyes. That was a look that had shocked even Klauz himself. "I will not be the Light to doom them all to h.e.l.l. I vow to all the G.o.ds that are in existence, that I the Light Queen will be the Light who will save them all from the darkness! I will not be the scourge that would d.a.m.n them to h.e.l.l. Instead, I will be their redeemer!"

Her blood dripped on the dark crystal flooring as her oath echoed compellingly in that dim and shadowy place like a beam of light lancing through the darkness.

After she spoke, Evie kept quiet, and silence reigned for what felt like a long time before Klauz finally spoke up in response to her forceful claims. "You're mad." He said, anger burning in his eyes and was reflected in his tone.

"Call me mad all you want, Klauz. I am willing to show you just how far this Mad Queen would go to save her loved ones and all those whom she holds dear to her." Evie stubbornly insisted as she clenched her jaws, not wanting to turn and look at this person who had continuously triggered such strong feelings of anger and exasperation within her.

He shook his head. "I see that you're blinded by this thing you call love."

"Love" Evie repeated, "that's the only thing that can save us all."

A scoff echoed out after her comment. His gaze had turned as sharp as any blade now. "One day, you will see, Light Queen" he exhaled harshly, "that this love you're talking about will not be able to save you. It will do the exact opposite. It will only cause the death of many innocent people. Then, you will know how wonderful this 'love' is, that you are talking about." He commented sarcastically.

"Tell me, Klauz did you see into the future?" Evie could not help but ask him this question. The way he seemed to insist on this views were just too strong to have without some reasoning behind it.

"I don't need to see the future to know all these. It had been prophesized since countless of years ago. The current idiotic royals don't know anything about the prophecy, of course, because their predecessors had erased all of its traces and slaughtered everyone who knew about it. All just because they didn't want anyone to know that they're the true villains in disguise who will one day cause the destruction of this entire land and many others including your queendom." Klauz's claim came as a ma.s.sive shock to Evie.

Evie could only shake her head in denial.

He clicked his tongue. "Let me show you something interesting, Light Queen." Klauz touched her and the two of them materialized inside a cave of black crystals. It was so dark that Evie could not see a single thing not even her own hands in front of her.

"Allow me to use my magic to see what you're showing me, Klauz." Evie requested.

He eased his magic restriction over her a little, but only after giving her a firm warning. "Don't try to do something funny, Light Queen. Don't you dare try me."

"I won't." She hissed, losing her already fraying hold on her temper.

When a ball of amber light formed before her and illuminated the dark cave, Evie swallowed. There were scribbles of a language she did not understand, carved all over the walls of the ma.s.sive cave.

These carvings seemed to react to her light and now the originally pitch black cave was filled with golden coloured writings.

"This is the biggest mistake of that idiot king. He had failed to find this place. No It would be more apt to say that he didn't know that this place ever existed. So he had only gone on to destroy all the books of records, castles, and all the people who knew anything about this." Klauz continued his narration with scorn in his voice.

"This these writings all explain about the prophecy?" Evie asked as she turned around looking at those strange writings.

"Not just thar. These records also tell of the birth of the Abyss of the Darkness."

Evie's eyes widened. She knew that even King Belial knew nothing about how the abyss of darkness appeared in the first place. The only thing they knew was that the abyss had already been there ever since the beginning of time!

"These writings also record how the royal family is connected to the abyss." Klauz added, causing Evie's heart to thump heavier within her chest.

"Is there any way for me to understand all these writings?" Evie asked. She wanted to read everything herself. If what he said is true, then this will solve the mystery of the abyss and what is the connection between the abyss and the dark fae royals especially between Gav and Gideon. This could also answer why Gav ended up being the fated King of Darkness! "Tell me, Klauz. Please."
