Meanwhile, somewhere far from the capital, deep inside the forest by the riverside, Drayce was resting under the tree near the river bank. His sleepy face looked exhausted and restless as if he could not sleep at all. Feeling restless, in his sleep, his hands clutched his black long robe which had its gold embroidery shone under the moonlight. It was midnight and he woke up suddenly feeling anxious and an ominous feeling surrounded his mind.
His red eyes were painted with worry and his gaze looked unsteady while his heart was beating faster with the growing anxiousness.
‘It feels the same as the nightmare I had the night before mother left me. Does it mean I am closer to finding her? This time will I be able to reach her?’
He stood up, as he held his sword and looked at the vast river bed in front of him. He had dived into the various parts of the river and reached their deepest bottoms but he could never find her. He knew his mother had submerged herself into the river and according to Lady Tyra, even if he went deep down the river, he would never be able to find her. But being a son, he just could never give up on searching for her.
Recently he got to know his mother had come across Seren, he was sure at that time his mother somehow could not do as she planned and so this time he didn’t bother to jump inside this part of the river and simply roamed around hoping he could find any of her traces by using his powers.
When he was a child, he would always reach her and this time he was trying his best to reach her by using his powers but he failed every time. Finally feeling exhausted from using his powers for the entire day and half of the night, he decided to rest but this sudden ominous feeling woke him up.
‘I should not stop here. Seems like mother is in some kind of trouble or there is no way I would get such a feeling. I need to look for her.’
He continued to focus on his powers while travelling along the river but even after hours passed by and it was about to be dawn while he exhausted himself more, he could not reach his mother.
‘I can do it. I just need to try harder.’
He decided to give a last try with all his might and closed his eyes but instead of being able to use his powers, he saw Seren’s face. She looked in pain and called out for him.
He opened his eyes in shock, ‘I was mistaken, It was not for mother but Seren. She is in danger.’
He cursed himself for mistaking it for his mother. Hours passed by since he had that ominous feeling and it worried him if he was late like how he was late when in Abetha she was suffering on her own.
With this, he disappeared from there the next moment and appeared at the crystal palace as he knew Seren was supposed to be there. The entire palace was quiet as it was still dark and everyone was still sleeping.
He tried to search for her energy that he could always sense but there were no traces of it.
‘Why can’t I sense her powers?’
He walked inside the palace to find out where she must be and searched through all the guest rooms as fast as he could, using his powers to move at the speed of lighting but she was in none of them.
Something clicked in his mind, ‘I know where she can be.’
He appeared in front of one room which belonged to him and where he had spent his childhood. But even before he opened the door, he heard a certain movement from inside the room and he got alerted. If she was in this room, then he could sense her powers even from the outside of the room but he could not.
He opened the door with a bang to not give the person inside the chance to be alert but only to see something shocking.
A tall man with gold-colored wings had his arms around Seren while she was in bed and looked like he was about to lift her. Even before he could lift her even an inch, the red-eyed angry man disappeared from his place and only appeared with strangling the winged man against the wall with a loud sound that created light vibrations.
“Who are you?” Drayce asked as he glared at the winged man pinned at the wall while his neck was being strangled to death.
Aureus looked at Drayce and didn’t try to struggle or get out of his hold. With his choked voice, he answered calmly, “I am a friend.”
He knew the way Drayce was possessive towards Seren, this was given and it would take a lot to convince this devil.
Drayce didn’t pay attention to his answer as if it didn’t matter and neither did he trust it. “Where were you taking her? What did you do to her? Who sent you?” he asked coldly under his greeted teeth. His eyes turned into a darker shade as if his devil form was about to come out. The veins on his hands and neck visibly tightened.
Aureus was aware of all Drayce’s sides and he knew he needed to calm him first. If his devil form came out, then not only him but everyone around would be hurt if he sees what happened with Seren. Being by Draven’s side for so many years and owing his mother for saving his life, Aureus cared for Drayce and thought of him as someone important to him.
“Dray!” Aureus called him out gently while feeling that the grip of this devil might crush his neck soon, “I… have saved her… and… brought her back…Trust me…”
Drayce was still not ready to hear as his anger had taken over him and the devil inside him wanted to kill this winged man who dared touch his wife.
