CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWO Realizing that what he said unexpectedly worked out for him, Patrick decided that he was going to stick with it even though he felt a cringe all over him as a result of saying the things he didn't mean to say to her. “You think I am beautiful?” Adrianna asked with her rough and scanty brows lifted to form a furrow while Patrick stood almost frozen in front of her with his eyes avoiding a stare at Seth who was slowly getting closer with every passing second. “What are you looking at?” Adrianna said with a low tone, and then she tried to turn around to look toward the direction of the other adventurers she tied to trees when she realized that Patrick was distracted. “Yes! I think you are very beautiful!” Patrick continued anxiously, looking at Adrianna who was forced to remain the way she was the moment she heard him say she was beautiful. “You are the most beautiful Enchantress I have ever seen, Adrianna! I love the way you smile, it reminds me of the sun,

CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOUR The sound of Adrianna’s voice caused the five adventurers to turn to look at her. She was still on the floor, grunting in so much pain, and when she attempted to crawl toward another corner of the hut, her strength failed her, and she remained in her position. “We need to leave,” Jarden said to the others, and then he managed to bend down slowly to pick up the map from the floor before taking a step toward the exit of the hut. Succumbing to the bruises all over his body, he staggered after making a second attempt to walk, almost falling to the ground. Patrick was able to catch him before he fell, and he held onto him firmly with both hands. “Come on, this way…” Patrick helped Jarden to move toward the exit of the hut, and when he was sure that he had gotten a grip on himself, he let him go and hurriedly picked up his energy blade before he joined the others who had rushed out of the hut. “Hurry, Patrick !” Lucy called out to him the moment she saw him comin

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX The suspense that lingered in the midst of the six adventurers was accompanied by a sudden silence that almost engulfed them entirely until Patrick decided that it was time to discard the silence. He cleared his throat twice to draw their attention, and when he was certain that everyone was looking at him, he began to address them. “Listen, guys…” He started with a calm tone, gesturing to them even though Sierra didn’t seem interested in what he was about to say. “What the three of you did was totally wrong, you couldn’t have hidden such an important thing from us. But we can’t stand here all day and talk about it as though we don't have other important things to worry about…” “But they refused to tell us that they had spoken to Charles Oliver before he died. Why would they hide that kind of information from us? How can we even trust them after this? Elves!” Seth scoffed in annoyance, and at that moment, he began to distance himself from Jarden who realized th

CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT At that time, there was a few seconds of silence while everyone was trying to get out of the confusion that lingered in their minds. “What do you mean by that, Seth? How can we move to another dimension without knowing it? Is that even possible?”“Well, I think so…” Seth said with a little certainty, but that wasn’t enough to conBorius Lucy and Patrick who seemed to be more doubtful than the others, especially Lucy who disagreed with a shake of her head. “This is insane!” Lucy sighed, her eyes showing signs of doubt and uncertainty while she looked at Seth, hoping to get more explanations for his claims. “You are saying that we might have entered into another dimension without knowing?”“That’s correct, Patrick .” Seth nodded to affirm his words, looking convincingly at Patrick who sighed softly before he continued. “At what point to you think we got into another dimension, then?” Patrick asked the most puzzling question, putting everyone in a period of lo

CHAPTER NINETY Patrick and Lucy turned almost at the same time to look at Seth who slowed down to join their conversation. He had a bright smile on his face, and notwithstanding the fact that it didn’t seem pleasant to them that he was eavesdropping on their conversation, they couldn’t really get angry at him no matter how hard they tried to. “I can imagine the look on her face when I return victoriously to fulfill all her desires, she is definitely going to love me more, I am certain of that. No one in this universe is going to love me like her, and no one will ever take her place in my life.” “Oh, really?” Patrick chuckled softly, looking at Seth who nodded to affirm his words. The look on his face showed so much certainty, but that wasn’t enough to conBorius Patrick that the Centaur was certain of what he was saying. “Are you sure about this, Seth? I mean, I am not trying to say that she would betray you, but I just don’t want you to get your hopes too high. Sometimes, we g
