Chapter 623-The Truth Isn't All That Truthful.

"The boy was something else, someone like him even in my era would have thrived greater than anyone else, and this boy seems to care for you a great deal."

"Austin.....does?"

Sabrina asked in a confused voice, her mind finding it very hard to put together a man she didn't have much interaction with to care for her at all.

"You know what, the boy explicitly asked me to keep this a secret, but it would be the greatest failure on my part as one that brings together people if I didn't tell you this."

As Elerium said this, she leaned onto her chair with a teasing smile as she started to speak.

"You should know that the boy was sweating all around with great apprehension as he spoke to me in great detail about what the leftover lineage of Evatador did. He also, in great detail, spoke about the suffering you went through as if he lived it through himself."

These words only brought greater confusion to Sabrina, who couldn't begin to grasp the things being said to her. She can't understand the fact of why Austin would even care about her at all.

"Moreover, he presented a very crazy plan of saving your life from the one eyeing to take over your body and prevent bringing havoc and death back into this world. Do you know how these curses work?"

Elerium asked at the end of her words, making Sabrina shake her head.

"From what I can see, the curse itself was meant to bring you immense anguish and sadness in your life, to make you drown in despair and corruption, till the voice of the Necromancy Queen would have filled your mind, slowly urging to do things to let her take over your body. So let me ask you this: have you ever heard unwanted things in your mind?"

This question brought a frown to Sabrina's face as she looked at Elerium, speaking in a cracking voice.

"Yes, once, the day my mother died brutally in front of me to save my life..."

Speaking of this, the atmosphere around Sabrina only got heavy. The ideology of being a mere scapegoat to a powerful presence, while coming to know that her whole life was filled with the misfortune of evil, isn't something that is easy to bear for anyone. But right now, in that despairing mind of Sabrina, she yearns for the truth behind the words now being spoken by Elerium.

"Now, that is the call when misfortune and corruption keep filling your ears. The necromancy queen will keep trying to bring you down, but it would seem that your mind is still strong even then. For it, you have my admirationto keep such mental strength after everything, now that is true strength."

Elerium spoke with an admiring voice, to which a gentle smile came over Sabrina's face as she replied.

"Well, I had some help."

As she spoke of this, the several books of Earth filled her mind, they being a supporting pillar that kept her strong throughout, one that gave her strength to move forward even in the darkest hour, that and...

Thinking until here, Sabrina's mind turned towards a certain keepsake, she keeps with her hand, one from a lost promise, the very first friend she made after her mother's death, a male friend that left with a promise, one whom she has no idea looks like, a very one that came and left her life abruptly as a child.

"Help or no help, to be strong like you is a gift, and I hope it follows you everywhere. Above that, this boy Austin seems to genuinely want to heal you, and his idea, while crazy, has a chance of working. This, along with me understanding your nature, has led me to not kill you and give you a chance..."

Elerium spoke, to which Sabrina replied.

"I see..."

Sabrina's eyes started to twinkle with an unknown delight, the prospect of Austin's feelings for her boosting a sense of pride in her. But above that lay a flame awakened to understand why he seems to care so much about her, to seemingly risk everything to heal her, for she isn't too naive to not understand that whatever plan that a woman like Elerium calls crazy is very dangerous to execute.

Sabrina's mind flashes to love, but she has spent enough time with Austin to understand the fact that he isn't a man who falls in love at first sight. If he is planning on really helping her, to cure her by seemingly going against an ancient ent.i.ty from the past, then...

'Then it doesn't feel bad to be his...'

Such a thought quickly brought a light blush to Sabrina's face as her cute long ears trembled a bit, the poison doing its job of keeping Sabrina's mind feeling whenever Austin came into play.

"I'm sure you two will be a very cute couple, seeing how you feel for him too..."

Elerium suddenly spoke, making Sabrina wave her hand in denial while saying.

"No, I don't think we will be anything like that..."

"Do you seriously think that after what you dreamt about him? Never thought I would see a woman hold a man in such high regard to have a dream os him tearing apart the sky..."

These words made Sabrina blush frivolously in embarra.s.sment, the very thought that she was holding Austin in such high regard even in her deep subconscious mind being something very hard for her to accept easily.

"Leaving aside that, it would be better to keep this thing with just yourself. You know about the fact that this boy cares about you..."

Elerium spoke, to which Sabrina nodded her head, easily understanding the fact behind it. If Austin really cares about her that much and is hiding it, then he must have his reasons for doing so.

"Also, if I were you, I would look through any specific things that might resonate with this..."

Saying so, Elerium forwarded a certain band made of the beautiful flowers of Elerium Blossoms, they looked very beautiful yet normal.

"This is an artifact that keeps misfortune and the movement of the curse at bay, but somehow it seems you don't need it. As I can see something as powerful as this keeping your curse at bay, why else do you think your curse isn't acting up?"

The last of Elerium's words made Sabina thoughtful. She too came to understand that while things have been bad for her, they hadn't reached a level of breaking her fully, which would mean she has something that is keeping the curse at bay.

"I will look into it."

Sabrina spoke as she placed the bracelet on her hands as Elerium spoke.

"Oh... the boy actually wanted you to have that."

This made Sabrina stare at the bracelet in her hand in a focused manner till she looked at Elerium and spoke.

"Thank you for everything you have told me."

"You're welcome for it, and also, if I were you, I would s.n.a.t.c.h up a boy like that when I have the chance. It's rare to find someone that cares that much and rarer to have one almost lose everything for you..."

As the last of the whispers were heard, Sabrina quickly started to fall asleep, her head lightly hitting the table as Austin suddenly appeared beside her.

"You really are a very dangerous man, you know if you play like this, h.e.l.l might find its way to you."

Elerium spoke with a calm tone as she looked at Austin who smiled at her as he spoke.

"And which G.o.d shall take the lead?"

This made Elerium shut up as she spoke.

"I did my part of the deal, so you do yours."

She spoke, the deal between them was simple. While Austin flexed his strength to her with destruction, he swooned her in with the power of life, Orpheus's touching power being a very big bribe that she can't refuse, one that will give her the power to be reborn and live in this current Era.

"Of course."

Austin replied, and he snapped his finger, a destruction energy wave leaving him, and the whole thing got destroyed within a second. Thus, with a blink of an eye, he was back in the real world with Sabrina in his arms, the fountain that was previously working turning dark and b.l.o.o.d.y as it started to wither away and fall into a bunch of blocks.

The screams and whispers filled all around at the sight of loss, words of bad luck all around as the duo of Austin and Sabrina moved quietly around.

'Like h.e.l.l, I am letting a b.i.t.c.h like you back into this Era...'

Austin thought.
