82 Chapter 80: Anticlimactic Ending (2/2)
Two swirling clouds of golden mist appeared in front of Ivery and as the mist faded away into the air, Danya and Yannel stood in front of her completely confused.
”What...just happened...?” Yannel asked, wondering how he got where he was
”I summoned you both.” Ivery told Yannel with a smile
”Summoned us?” Danya didn't know that humans could be summoned
”Yes, now jump into that portal over there.” Ivery nonchalantly said as she pointed at the portal a few feet away from them
”J-Jump into it?” Yannel looked at the random portal with confusion and worry
”Yes, go on.” Ivery nodded
”How are you going to tell us to jump into a random portal without telling us where it goes???” Yannel completely trusted Ivery but he still wanted to know where this portal led to
”Ridgefall.” Ivery answered Yannel
”R-R-Ridge-what?!” Yannel exclaimed with disbelief
”Enough of this.” Luther walked over to Yannel and pushed him
Yannel was suddenly sent flying back into the portal.
Ivery looked at Luther and sighed, he then looked back at her and shrugged.
”Are you going to go in? If you don't want to go in, then you can just stay here for the rest of your life for all we care.” Luther coldly looked at Danya
”I-I'm going!” Danya lightly shivered under his chilly gaze
Danya slowly walked to the portal.
She stopped walking and stood 3 feet away from the portal and took a deep breath, mentally preparing herself.
Ivery and Luther waited several minutes for Danya to enter the portal.
Ivery was growing irritated. She walked over to Danya and grabbed her arm.
”Wha-” Danya was taken by surprise
Ivery quickly threw Danya into the portal.
”About time.” Luther scoffed
”Let's check it out before we go back.” Ivery said as she walked into the portal
Luther shrugged again and casually walked into the portal as well.
....
A mild breeze blew Ivery's hair back, when she looked in front of her she saw an endless line of people in front of a giant silver gate. And beyond the silver gate, she clearly saw the enormous adventurer utopia. On both sides of this massive structure, was two sparkling, clear, big waterfalls.
They all stood on the gray polished bricked pavement walkway outside of the gate.
A large diamond R was on top of the giant silver gate, letting them know that this R stood for Ridgefall.
”Woah!” Yannel's eyes lit up at the sight of everything around him
”Ridgefall...” Danya couldn't believe she was really standing in front of the Ridgefall gate
”Well, this is where we part ways.” Ivery said to them
”What?” Yannel and Danya turned around
”We have important business to handle elsewhere, so we, unfortunately, can't go with you two into Ridgefall anymore.” Ivery said
”Will you come back?” Yannel asked with a frown
”Of course we'll be back, we're going to aim to become S-rank adventurer's when we do return, and I hope by that time you'll be an S-rank adventurer yourself.” Ivery placed her hand on Yannel's shoulder
”I promise I won't disappoint you!” Yannel tearfully smiled and hugged Ivery tightly
Ivery smiled and rubbed his back.
Luther narrowed his eyes and disliked what was happening in front of him.
”That's enough.” Luther pulled Ivery away from Yannel
”Sorry!” Yannel bowed to Luther, fully realizing that he just hugged crown prince Luther's fiance in front of him
Yannel knew that if Ivery didn't care for him, he would've lost his life right when he reached out for her.
”And you.” Ivery looked at Danya
Danya looked down at the ground, not daring to look Ivery in the eyes.
Ivery reached out and lifted Danya's head up by her chin.
”Do well.” Ivery gently smiled
”....” Danya smiled back and tears rolled down her face
”T-Thank you...I will....I promise I will!” Danya cried
”Good. Don't have my efforts go to waste.” Ivery plucked Danya's forehead
Danya flinched and touched her forehead.
Ivery stepped back.
Luther pulled Ivery close to him.
Danya waved goodbye to Ivery. Yannel wiped his tears away and managed to wave farewell.
Ivery and Luther then disappeared into a black mist cloud.
”Hopefully we'll meet again, Ivery...” Danya smiled and looked up at the light blue sky
