The Forbidden Touch From the Abyss (EDITING)

Chapter 35

Jule smiled at the fairy in front of her, apparently her name was Scaria. She began speaking to Jule about her life before being a prisoner, excitedly. She seemed like she been wanting to speak to Jule about this for such a long time.

Jule was fascinated by the stories, but her curiosity was eating at her soul. Just as Scaria finished saying one thing, Jule opened her mouth to ask her question before the fairy would say another word. "How come you're so young?"

Scaria blinked, baffled. Jule looked over at Tilphina who was working on something that Jule didn't even care to know about. Well, that was until she seen the determination set on the Seer's face. Jule could tell Tilphina was up to something, she only wished then she knew what it was.

Jule then looked at Ace to see if he at least saw that too, but he didn't. He stayed silent, still upset as he crossed his arms. He then rested them on his knees as he continued to stare at the ceiling. Though Jule didn't like it, she thought it was what he deserved for causing them to fall into this mess.

When they first got in, and Scaria began talking to Jule, Ace tried many ways to get out of it. He used everything in his power to try, and break the thing open. Tilphina didn't say a word as Ace tried that time, she only looked away and paid no mind to him after the first few seconds. Ace only finally gave up when Scaria told him of her attempt to try for thousands of years.

When Jule finally looked back at Scaria, the fairy stared at Jule sadly. Jule scrunched her eyebrows, and frowned. It was then she was going to ask did Scaria smile and her sad expression disappear. Jule decided to drop it, she didn't want to upset the creature at this point.

"My age?" She asked, gesturing towards herself.

Jule nodded. "Yeah, if you lived like that for so long. You're not old at all, you look just as young as the Enchantress."

Scaria frowned. "You speak of Enchantresses Mable, Fina, and Sela?"

Jule then frowned herself, and frowned. "No, w- "

"Those were ancestors," Ace chimed in with a tired voice, "now we have new Enchantresses, or one for that matter of fact."

"Why one?" Scaria asked, looking over at Ace.

Jule turned back to look at him too, and he sighed before looking in their direction. "Enchantress Lide and Bria, they are deceased."

"Why is that?" Scaria asked with wide eyes. "There has always been three enchantresses, nothing less."

"A witch slaughtered them, and she was working for an evil man that very much end this realm alongside with her."

Scaria blinked, still shocked. Jule turned, and I asked her question to get off the topic of dead people. Scaria smiled sadly at Jule, and nodded. "Here in the abyss, we do not age. We stay in our youth, and stay alive for all those years. That is why Tilphina was so legendary, and continues to be."

Jule nodded, and smiled once something clicked in her mind. "You too."

Scaria laughed along with Jule, and nodded. "Yes, thank you, but Tilphina and I, we can still be deceased. We can live forever until a being decides to slaughter us." Scaria looked over to Ace. "Him as well."

Ace widened his eyes, but said nothing. He knew it was Jule, but before Jule didn't. As if he heard her thoughts, he looked over to her. Jule stared in his green eyes, unable to find herself glaring at him for getting into this mess for a brief second. He didn't look away from her either, but she couldn't tell what he was feeling. She already knew he was upset because of earlier, but she couldn't tell any other. She wondered if he felt for her, the she felt for him. Either way, Jule knew it would never happen if they died in here.
