First Stygian Diviner:Apocalypse-Chapter 44 Goodbyes!

"This can't be, i can't accept this Adelita…i have to level up…i have to go there…i am not going to give up, not after i had a fair chance" Isiah started to talk with anger, his eyebrows were contracted and he bitten his lower lip .

Adelita sat on a chair there then pointed at Jivan with her index and said:" That's why we are arguing, apparently they are going to evacuate the seventh king and his higher mages, teachers, responsible for the evaluation test, all of them are evacuated to the Emperium"

" Why ? Did something happen or something? Why now?"Isiah flooded her with questions.

" It didn't happen suddenly, it looks like they were hiding it from us!" She replied.

" How do you know this? "

" Well, mister Lautner told me, i didn' believe him at first, but when i found out that they started to cut communication between the districts i realized that something is wrong"

" Huh!" f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

"I was against the leveling up system my whole life, but today i chose to be alive then be a man with beliefs" Jivan added.

" You passed the test today! "

"And tomorrow i will level up with everyone else"

Isiah turned around to face Adelita then said:``Does he mean that both of you are going to Emperium tomorrow with no going back ?"

Adelita lowered her head then said:"They chose tomorrow to abandon this place"

Isiah looked at Adelita and despite of his anger he said with a calm voice :" Thank you, both of you for everything you have done, you helped me like no one did and i can't pay back enough for that, this creepy old dude is a nuisance but he helped me and therefore i wish you luck and comfortable life in Emperium"

Adelita couldn't believe the change in his words, he was angry yet he calmly acknowledged what they have done for him.

" I don't want to go" Adelita said right away interrupting him from completing his talk.

" Don't act like this Adie, just say your goodbyes to the kid and move on" Jivan said sarcastically.

"I can't…you don't understand, " She objected .

" It's all because of him,"Jivan said.

" Don't you dare say a thing, okay !"

" Why! Why are they acting like this Adelita? Even back then, you were the one who fought for me to enter the institution, you saved me when I lost my sight, you made your best efforts so that I could use magic, why ? I don't understand!"Isiah said.

A moment of silence that was longer than Isiah could handle, he just said after that :" Well don't think about me, i am a survivor, just do what needs to be done and don't you dare stay here or even think about me, i am perfectly fine right now and once i learn magic i will be much in secure "

He waved at both of them and got out of the kitchen and later from the whole house.

Adelita was very sad, her emotions were not at ease especially when she was leaving him behind her, she didn't want to force herself onto him and he wouldn't love that either, she had to obey the rules but the thought of leaving him behind was frightening.

She couldn't tell him that she chose to teach and get back to Delwias Island because of him, that might drive him away from her which was the worst thing that could happen after all of this suffering to come closer to him and let him open his heart to her .

Isiah left the house with slow steps, it was not that bad to him, he couldn't understand why they were arguing about him to take him or to find him some solution, it was not their job to babysit him and he was not going to be fully dependant on them just because they were kind enough to help him once .

Isiah walked at a steady pace till he reached his house, it didn't look that bad after the night Ethyl fixed it a bit .

He sighed the moment his eyes fell on it, then sat at the front looking at the sky, Emperium gave the sky a darker look but the three moons gave much light

If what Adelita and Jivan said was true then this place was going to be wrecked and the fact that he was stuck in here was bad enough .

"You are here, i think i visited this place a lot of times to make some modifications, do you like it now, with my energy it looks better than yours"

When Isiah raised his face he saw Ethyl standing there with a smile on her face, he didn't reply to what she said, and instead he just bowed his head and kept looking at the ground until she came closer to him and sat next to him.

" What happened to you? definitely there is something weird about you …you look older and different" She said in complete surprise while taking a closer look at him .

He looked away from her and then said:" Don't …don't look at me …don't ask me …just …don't"

She looked dirty, her dress was filled with mud and her face looked tired but Isiah pretended as if she was not there .

" I passed the annual evaluation, I told you I am going to level up, aren't you going to congratulate me ? "

" Congrats!"

" Woooah, a cold congratulation just like you" She was pissed by him yet she tried to hide it, then added :" Where were you? i visited you but you were nowhere to be found"

" Ethyl "Isiah said with a calm voice, she was stunned by him calling her name so she didn't reply to him however she collected all her focus on him, then he added: " If the world is falling apart, will having powers stop that ? "

" What kind of childish question is that !"

" This region is going to be erased after this day, the higher up are giving up on it, they are taking the best they could and they are going to leave us here, to face our ending in complete isolation, don't ask me from where i learned this, i just know and there is not point in hiding it now"

" What happened!"

" You, i know that you want to eradicate them for whatever reason is in your mind, keep it in mind…i am the person who is going to that"𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮
