Iftia: Lyx Palace, Main Entrance
• Elianna •
The moment the white wolf turned around and disappeared into the woods, Rowan released his grip on her arm and she sprinted forward. She picked Arell from the bed of snow and hugged him tightly in her hold as she cried, "Arell? Arell, mea lux—"
"Eli, bring him inside," Rowan said. He had also rushed to their side and he supported her up. He placed his hand against the child's skin and his voice was equally pained, "Quickly, love. He's suffering from hypothermia."
She clutched onto her child tightly in her arms as tears flowed relentlessly. Arell was supposed to be in Nvre, he was supposed to stay with Matthias and Indira and he was supposed to be safe. She couldn't make out the reason why he ended up with the wolf, but if he did, it would only mean that something happened in Nvre. Pulling on the sleeve of Rowan's coat, she exhaled, "Rowan, something must've happened."
"I thought so too. When we left the Royal Palace, I sent Ilias to bring Arell back but—" Rowan choked on his words, sounding worried and anxious. Once they entered through the main doors, he removed the thick mantle off his shoulders and spread it on the marbled ground. He reached to take Arell from her arms and rested the child above the soft material, speaking in Iftiac as a soft light appeared on his palm and white magic dusted through.
Colour finally washed over the child's pale complexion but Arell whimpered pitifully and his brows pinched tightly together into a frown. A pierce went right through her heart when she brushed her fingers through his soft hair, whispering, "You'll be okay. Please endure through this, mea lux."
It took a long while before his small body regained warmth and Arell was finally breathing right. She heaved a sigh of relief, but just when she was about to pick him up from the ground, the main entrance was pushed opened forcefully. Alerted, she whipped herself around and positioned herself protectively in front of her child. Rowan had also wrapped his hand around the hilt of his sword, ready to fight against the intruder.
"Arell!"
A loud shout and the man who emerged through the entrance caused her to freeze. His dark hair was messy with so much snow caught in between strands and his emerald eyes were wide with fear and dread as he stared towards the child lying on the ground. He was panting heavily through his laboured breaths, almost messing up the patterns of inhales and exhales. She almost couldn't believe it when she gasped, "Thunder?"
"Eli, w-what happened to Arell?" Thunder almost shouted, his terror apparent in his shaky, trembling voice. "I felt his heart stop. I—"
Her lips parted in shock when she finally understood why she could no longer feel her bond with Thunder. Pushing herself off the ground, she wrapped her hands around his neck. Her voice was strained by the emotions that balled in her throat and she reprimanded him in a cry, "You idiot! Why didn't you tell me earlier? I couldn't feel you, Thunder! I thought I lost you and I was so worried, you stupid cat!"
