Chapter 201: Conclusion (1/2)
The trio shuffled through the obscured path and searched for the duo. ”I can't see anything. This damn mist!” cursed Noor furiously.
Ayaan also frowned as he could also not see anything because it was not night's darkness but mist. Therefore his dark element was useless in such a situation. Without speaking Ayaan proceeded and carpeted further and further.
”Cough~ Cough~”
Ayaan stopped and looked at his two companions. ”Did you guys cough?”
”I thought it was you,” Noor said.
”What nonsense are you spouting? It was the girl's voice...” Ayaan trailed off halfway through and increased his speed and dashed forward followed by Noor and Isobel.
”Cough~ Cough~”
The intensity of coughing increased, it looked as if someone was trying to vomit a dust or blood out of the throat. After scuttling over ten metres Ayaan saw two bodies struggling to get up but failed every time miserably. Wood covered their full body but now the wooden armour had been torn from many places while the blood gushed out from their wounds. Blood pooled out of two bodies and coloured the water or ice underneath them. Their faces scarred and charred and covered in bloody damp.
”Rebecca! Leafwhisk!” Ayaan roared in horror when he saw their condition and sprinted like a maniac towards them. He first arrived in front of Rebecca and supported her head and placed it on his thighs comfortably. Noor and Isobel went to Leafwhisk. ”You alright?” he asked, face filled with panic.
Rebecca looked at him and chuckled. ”Am I looking bad?”
Ayaan winced hearing her sentence. Her face was completely disfigured and charred due to the thunder Elder Luan's body released after self detonation. He placed his hand on her face and caressed her cheeks gently. ”Don't worry about these minor things, you are still as beautiful as before to me.”
Rebecca smiled bitterly and knew that her speculation was correct. Her face was completely gone. Which girl doesn't like a beautiful face after all?
”Why do you look as if someone had died?” while they were talking, Leafwhisk arrived with the support of Isobel and Noor on either side of her shoulders. Her face burned and her nose looked crooked and the meat of her one cheek had completely disappeared, leaving three or four teeth visible in that place, and yet, she grinned. Though she looked ugly beyond comparison, Ayaan did not turn his face away and gazed deeply at her.
”Thank you,” Ayaan said in the end.
Leafwhisk frowned hearing his thanks. ”Don't think too much about it. I saved her because I consider her as my sister.”
