The Forbidden Touch From the Abyss (EDITING)

Chapter 26

Jule had to see him, she had to. She followed Ace outside of the room, and passed several doors before walking outside in the clear blue sky. Thelon was out there, he came paddling forward with his horse legs towards them, smiling widely. "Is this where we say goodbye, my young boy?"

Ace nodded stiffly. "Yes, Thelon. Thank you."

Thelon held his arms out for a man hug, and Ace stepped forward to give. Thelon patted his back before letting go, his smile turning proud. Ace nodded, and began to walk away. Jule smiled at Thelon, and moved to follow Ace. She had to go to Overlord, she needed to.

Thelon then called her name, causing her to stop as well as Ace. He turned around, and only looked at her. Jule looked away from him, and turned her gaze towards Thelon. The man was smiling, and gestured for her to come to him. Jule marched, frowning. She didn't know what he wanted, but wished for him to hurry up so she could get to Overlord.

Thelon clapped a hand over her shoulder. "Jule, I presume?" She nodded, and he continued. "That man," he pointed to Acelon, "is upstanding, which I'm sure you are already aware of?" Jule nodded, though she couldn't find herself to think of Ace at the moment. "Take care of him, will you?"

Jule rolled her eyes. "Those words are the same ones Ramus said right before I left with Ace. Which one of you is the father?"

Thelon laughed heartily, slapping a hand over his stomach. "A sense of humor, I see." Jule said nothing after that, but only smiled. Though she was getting impatient to see Overlord, she didn't mind speaking with Thelon. She liked him better than Ramus. Thelon smiled back, it was yet another proud one. "I see how you are fit for Acelon, take care on your journey."

Jule nodded, and walked away once more. The moment she was by Ace's side, he gave her a hard gaze. Jule returned it, solemn.

"Zena." He said.

Jule nodded. "Overlord."

"I must join."

Ramus shook his head, and grabbed a hold of Roia's shoulder to stop her from moving any further. She glared at him, not appreciating his reluctance for her to assist him in finding the young ones in time before they arrive at the dark tower of the Overlord. "Enchantress, it is best if you stay in the kingdom where it is safe."

Frustrated, Roia stepped back and growled, "I can be of assistance!"

Ramus stepped back himself, and widened his eyes in shock. He's seemed taken aback by her response. Roia could understand his shock, she rarely acted this poorly. She wanted to leave, and aid in their quest. It was about time the Overlord and Zena should stop their treacherous ways, it has gone way too far.

The Overlord wished for Jule to become his wife, once she would be pulled into that vile tower. It is despicable. She is a young one, it is not fitting to have a man with a child. How disgusting, and shameless the man was. Roia wished to put him in a coffin, and throw him into a pit of fire.

Zena must be stopped as well, despicable women aiding in this plan. It must be stopped, they must be stopped. Roia narrowed her eyes angrily at Ramus, pointing a finger with great accusation. "You are a fool to think I will sit back, and do nothing to help those innocent young ones. Let me assist Thelon, or I will blast you away and enter the chariot myself."

Ramus seemed scared by this, the sight of her behavior. Silent, he avoided her eyes and stepped aside. Roia stuck her head up high, and walked forward with the confidence an enchantress would have. She hopped in the chariot, awaiting for Ramus to follow in next to her.
