Chapter 327 - Without Her

Chapter 327 - Without Her

Morning came soon after. Evie had not stopped trying ways and means, but to no avail. The blasted barrier remained strong and unbreakable. Evie had even called upon her dragon to pour forth dragonfire on it, but nothing happened even with that move. Everything was just futile.

"Princess, please take some rest now." Zolan had finally approached to stop her. He was worried that she might overstrain herself in the efforts of trying to break the barrier.

Evie clenched her fists tight at Zolan's interruption. She was aware that nothing was working so far, but she did not want to give up. She was angry at Gav's high-handed methods in doing things his way, but most importantly, she was worried about Gav himself. She must be there for him! No, she needs to be there! Now that she has grown so much stronger, she can now fight alongside him. She cannot let what had happened in Dacria repeat itself.. She refused to be hidden away while he was out there fighting all by himself!

"I know you are worried about the prince, but if you spent yourself up like this, it would definitely cause more problems for you, and you know we can't afford that from happening." Zolan said straightforwardly. "I know you don't want to waste any more time here, but maybe it'll help if you calm down and think of something else rather than forcing yourself to the limit like what you are doing now. Maybe, breaking the barrier through sheer magical attacks is not the way to go."

Despite her frustration, what Zolan said caused her to pause and helped her relax a little. He was right, perhaps, she was doing it all wrong!

"You're saying that attacking it might not work… do you have a suggestion on what might work to break it?" she asked her as she finally sat down after hours of standing before the barrier. She could not help but feel a tingling at the bottom of her heart, hope again growing at the mention of her being able to bring the barrier down.

"I'm sorry but I don't have any suggestions right now. Well, I'm a vampire. We have never dealt with these kinds of things before. However, it is different for the light faes. I think you should call for a meeting, sit down with them, and discuss further about this. I'm sure an idea will be formed if everyone is willing to share a piece of their minds. I think you'll be able to find out something useful if you speak to them. These light faes came from the distant past after all." Zolan explained to her, and Evie took in a sharp and deep breath.

Zolan's words had made her realize she was definitely too pressured and had acted a little arrogantly in thinking that she could just solve this issue on her own. She closed her eyes and reflected on her attitude for a while before opening them again, her eyes much clearer and it could be seen that she was calmer and in a better frame of mind. Also, her anger with Gav had previously made her unable to think rationally. All that rage must have messed with her thinking processes! Zolan was right, she needed to calm down. She must use her intellect to think calmly and rationally rather than blindly using her magic like this despite seeing that it was obviously not working.

Looking up at Zolan, Evie sighed again and then the muscles of her body relaxed as her expression slowly became better. "Thank you, Zolan. You are right. I needed to calm down. Thanks for the timely reminder."

"That's right princess. I think you should put your anger on hold for now. You can always resume it once you meet up again with His Highness. I'm afraid your anger will be spent and long gone at the rate you have been going because you have been venting it all onto the barrier." He smirked meaningfully and Evie finally smiled, catching onto this teasing manner.

"Alright, I will call for a discussion with them. However, would like you to join us, Zolan." Evie told him when Zolan's face became apologetic.

"Actually, I have something else to report to you, princess." He said, causing Evie to crease her brows and looked at him in curiosity.

"What is it?"

"Samuel and I had just discussed between us, and we decided that we would leave first, princess." Zolan's voice came out a little apologetic.

Evie's face immediately darkened as it became severe. Zolan still continued speaking despite the obvious unhappy aura surrounding Evie.

"Luc is already on the other side for hours now. But he's not the reason why we thought about doing this. We are worried about His Highness too. Since we are able to go past the barrier and leave, it would only make sense for us to go ahead and aid him. Would you agree with this assessment, Your Highness?"

"You're saying you guys will go on without me?!"

"Yes. We cannot stay here and delay any longer when we can leave and go aid him, princess. I hope you will understand why we decided on this."

Evie was speechless. She turned and looked over at the other vampires and she saw them looking back at her apologetically. Elias especially felt so bad that he dropped his head and could not continue looking on at the princess.

"We know our task should be to protecting and staying with you wherever you may be. His Highness gave that task to us again before sending us here. However, with all these light faes and dragons with you now, not to mention your own powerful magic, we think that the one who needs us most right now is His Highness." Zolan added in a careful manner.

A while ago, when the group of vampires were talking about this, all of them felt the strange pang in their chest at the thought of leaving their princess behind. It surprised them at how much they were already attached to her and up to this much they were actually feeling a little miserable that they had to be leaving her this soon. Even though it was not even a long goodbye and they were just going to go without her.
