Chapter-4 It Begins

“Lars it’s been seven years! Don’t you think I deserve a reason?”

“…”

“Well?”

“…”

“Why won’t you tell me Lars?”

“Alright. I’ll tell you. But first answer this: Did you -ever- consider the fact that I never visited because it’s painful? To see you with that…that freak. That maybe, it’s possible that I liked you more than a friend? What do you think of that?”

“…”

“I - I wanted to come Rhen. I wanted to be there for you just like I was when we started the journey. But…I never opened my mouth about it. And yeah I feel guilty; I mean how could you have known right?”

“So instead of coming right up and talking to me, you decided to hide? The Lars I knew was definitely not a coward.”

“Yeah well the bravery ceased to exist after we killed Ahriman.”

“Lars honestly, I never knew-”

“Don’t worry, Rhen. I never blamed you. But you are queen now. You have duties, a kingdom to run and all that. I’ll just get out of the way now.”

“You are leaving?!?!?”

“I don’t have a choice, Rhen. I’m sorry.”

Lars walked away as quickly as possible. He really did it. No matter what the situation was he never imagined he would do it.

Rhen watched him walk away, but this was not over. No, she can’t chase him; it would be absurd if the people at the ball saw the queen of Thais chase some other guy. But…This wasn’t it. As queen, she knew lots of things.

And one of them is Lars Tenobor is NOT a coward.

“She just needs rest, Your Highness.”

“You’re sure?”

“Positive.” The Royal Doctor smiled at the King. Although he wasn’t convinced, John decided not to argue because he was sure the guy had no idea what might have caused the incident. He didn’t know either. When Lars was going to come back, he didn’t know. What caused the incident, he didn’t know. What are they going to do about it, he didn’t know. And that was frustrating. John walked to his study. Full of thoughts, he didn’t notice was in front of him.

It was a portal.

His eyes widened. What the heck was a -portal- doing in the hallway?

“Step In, John.” A calm voice startled him. Mainly because he didn’t know someone was standing behind him. He turned around to see Melinda in a normal state as if nothing happened. Or was happening right then.

“Melinda? What is the meaning of this?”

“Just trust me. I want to show you what I saw.”

“I-I’d rather not see what you saw…”

“Don’t worry. Once you step in Lars will join us. I have to show you this. Please step in.”

Was their something in her voice that made John accept the request? Even he didn’t know. But he went along with it.

‘She took that pretty well.’ Lars thought. He could hardly believe he did it. He said his true feelings. It was incredible. Full of thoughts Lars walked away from the gates of Thais. He was going to travel using the runes, obviously. But Melinda had something else in mind.

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Lars fell into a portal at his next step.

“What the-”

“Lars!”

“John?”

“You made it, buddy!”

“W-What’s going on?”

“It’s Melinda…”

“Did something happen to her?!?!?”

“Well…” John narrated his part of the story. What
all he knew, that is.

“…”

“You have to be kidding me right?”

“I’m sorry, buddy…”

“Why are you sorry?”

“Well I’m trying to be supportive.”

“You are not very good at it.”

“Hey!”

“Where are we?”

“You are in my mind.” Melinda’s voice seemed to
rush in from every corner.

“Wha-”

“I have to show you something, Lars. And you too John.

“Wait! We are in your head?!?!?”

“How is that possible?”

The area -which was black before- suddenly started turning into a background. Lars looked around immediately recognizing the place.

Aveyond.

“How did we-?”

“Step inside.”

It was the sun temple she was referring to. Lars and John looked at each other before taking in a deep breath and stepping in.
