Your mind was spinning around, your body was shaking, you didn't want to believe what you were being told, but deep within your heart, you knew the veracity of all the evidences against your lover were undoubtedly true. Since the moment he started acting distant and mysterious you suspected there was something to be discovered, not because you didn't trust him, it was because you knew him better than any other person, and his way of acting was turning into something completely unknown and new to you, like if he was a completely stranger.
Your eyes became a blurred crystal, you felt the delicate salty water running down your cheeks as you unconsciously started hyperventilating, your heart wanted to scream, and your body wanted to disappear in the darkness of a forest in the night, to never show your face again to the world, your despair was growing bigger every second you put air in your lungs. But you can't run away.
-Are you okay, (MC)? Do you need some fresh air? A glass of water maybe? - Asra said showing visible concern as he watched your reaction, he knew this would hurt your heart permanently and he wanted to be there for you.
-I... I... don't... - You couldn't articulate a proper response, your mind was in chaos while you were trying to process everything you had heard.
-(MC) is in shock, an understandable reaction, I was also in shock when I discovered it – Mazelinka was there too, you could see the sorrow in her eyes, like if they were a window sending you directly to her heart.
The only thing you wanted at that moment was to see him. You wanted to face Julian and demand an explanation. How was it possible that the man you thought was perfect, kind, wise and fun, had murdered an innocent person? He had turned off a light in this world, a light full of dreams and hopes. You desperately wanted to know WHY? Why so suddenly? What made him take such an extreme and horrible decision?
-I want to be alone... please. – That is everything you could say. There was an uncomfortable silence until Mazelinka spoke.
-Okay (MC), whenever you're ready to talk, I'll be there for you, but I must go now since Julian's trial will start tomorrow. He's still like my son, I cannot leave him alone. – She spoke to you and then turned her attention towards Asra. -Please, talk and try to convince (MC) to go to Nevivon, I'm sure Julian would feel relieved to see his loved one. – Then waving goodbye she left from the front door of the shop, leaving both of you and Asra alone. There was another uncomfortable silence, this time broken by him.
-So... do you want me to go too, (MC)? – You nod, incapable of say anything else. – Well, I understand. I'm going now, but remember, his trial is tomorrow, feel free to call me at any moment you want and I'll come for you.
-Yeah, thank you Asra. – You gave him a soft smile and he proceeded to leave you alone.
You knew in that moment that you wouldn't need Asra to take you to Nevivon. You wanted to see him and that's all you needed in order to make a spell to open a door that would lead you to him. You put all your magic in your hands, commanding it to feel Julian's. Not a long moment after, you felt him, and with that you made your way to him.
—————————————————————————————————-
Julian was being held captive in a dungeon, chains around his wrists, not allowing him to move from a wall, he was silent, he didn't make a move, and it was almost like if he was dead, but that was not the case, you could still feel the warmth emanating from his heart and the despair in his mind. You feel the air heavy and hot. You expected it to be cold, but of course this emotion you felt from Julian was a human feeling, it was regret. A hot emotion derived from his anger towards himself.
