End Of Nightmares (Book 3)

Chapter 109: 00:00:00

Lily scans her surrounding, all she can sees and hears are disfigured landscapes and the eerie silence of the night. CL pulled her away from her circle just now, leading her far away from them. She did not say anything else, but whatever it is, it might be something important that can contribute to their victory later on.

"Here should be fine." CL stops, clearing the area with her foot. She looks for a stick, drawing a circle and something else inside it. When she is done, Lily  found out it was akin to a summoning circle. But the symbols used are those Lily never came across before.

"Unnie, what symbols are these? I've never seen their before."

"Primordial Enochian. The real language of the angels. This here is just a communication circle." CL explained to her.

"Communication? With what?" Lily frowns. CL just smirks, instructing Lily to sit at the center of the circle.

"Unnie, you didn't answer my question. What or who am I going to communicate with here?" Lily's voice starts to waver, eyeing CL with a hint of fear in it.

"Hehe~~ Relax, my love. You'll thank me for this. Now, clear your head. We'll begin." CL takes an object from her inner coat pocket, a glimmering marble. She crushes it in between her palms, grinding it into fine powder before blowing the content all over the area. CL's hair and eyes glowing so bright it illuminates the area, with CL taking in a deep breath to begin her incantation.

"S'aatte makhbutu rakk... S'aatte makhbutu amsheyr... S'aatte makhbutu ankh...." The guttural incantation slowly fades from Lily's ears, with herself feeling as if she is being sucked into a vortex. But it does not takes long, for somehow she is feeling she had hit the ground.

"Ugh... So this is what it feels like getting spun in a washing machine..." Lily groans, her eyes fluttery as she tries to adjust her sight to the amount of light around her.

"Depends. But Jurina once accidently dive head on into a washing machine. Maybe she can explain more." Lily sees a hand extending to her. When she looks up, her eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

"Appa...." As soon as she utters the word, tears flowing heavily down her cheeks.

"Since when you're a crybaby, princess? Come now. Up you go." Calintz chuckles, picking her daughter up from the ground, giving her a light dusting.

"There you go." Calintz fixes Lily's hair, giving a playful pinch on her nose. Lily does not have to think further, jumping onto Calintz before wailing her loudest to curb her longing heart.

"Appa! Appa!!"

"Yes... That's me. I missed you too, darling..." Calintz kisses the side of her daughter's head. Once her daughter has calmed down, he leads her into the house, meeting the rest of her loved ones. Lily sees not all of them are there, and Calintz. And then, Lily starts crying again, dashing in towards the ladies inside the house.

"Ack! Here we go..." Calintz pinches the bridge of his nose, giving out an exasperated laugh.

Calintz, Taeyeon, Dara, Eunhye, Seohyun, and  Miru immediately seats Lily at the dining table, with Minzy preparing tea and tidbits for them.

This unprecedented reunion turns Lily into a crybaby, and if it serves Calintz's memory right, ever since she steps foot into the Elysian Fields. And she tells them everything, EVERYTHING that had happened in her life after the world's reset.

"Claudius and Seungri sure are troublemakers. Thankfully Cal oversaw this and took a measure." Minzy pours a cup of tea for her daughter, kissing the side of her head before sitting by Calintz's side.
