Vincent didn't want to accept what Nerhys was telling him. This couldn't be the end between him and Eve. Their fates had aligned themselves so that they met again, and he wasn't going to accept that they were meant to part ways like this when there was so much to be done. He said,

"There should be a way to bring her back here. I will do anything to bring her back, just tell me how."

Nerhys, whose eyes were concentrated on the sea, turned to look at him, and she asked, "Are you sure about it?" She asked it with doubt, especially knowing the bloodline this pureblooded vampire came from.

"Anything," Vincent confirmed, but then added, "Not my life though. What is the point of giving up my life and us not being together? One of us are bound to be in pain, so tell me a way I can bring her. I have the vial with me," he pulled out the little glass vial that had the potion in it.

The sea goddess's eyes fell on it, and a small bitter smile appeared on her lips. She said to him,

"Eve is a ghost now, Vincent. A ghost that resides in the depth of the sea and you won't be able to find her... but I can," Nerhys said in a soft voice. But her pause meant there was something to bargain, and he asked her,

"What is it?"

Nerhys's green eyes were as bright as Eve's blue eyes, and they stared at him in the same way but with a little more intensity even though this woman was only a ghost. He asked her,

"If you are the goddess of the sea, why haven't you stepped into it?" It was because he had noticed her step backwards when the water almost touched her bare feet.

"It is because once I get into the sea, I will disappear and never return to the land. I have been on the land, unable to return because of what the King's family caused. Because my daughters have been here until now, but now... I can finally leave," Nerhys softly hummed and then asked him, "I will bring her back to you, Vincent, because I know it is where her heart is, and that is with you. Even after death, the soul doesn't forget and it can begin to harbour pain and sadness in it. But in return, you will promise me to love her and keep her happy. To cherish her no matter what."

Nerhys and Anchor had been in shadows as ghosts and had been waiting to see each other for centuries. Anchor had disappeared into the sea and she would too, but before that, she wanted to give her daughter the opportunity of happiness and that happiness belonged here on the land with this man.

The sea goddess knew her daughters deserved the happiness she and her husband had envisioned for them. But unfortunately, nothing ever went as planned. Nerissa had been consumed with revenge, while Marina... she had fallen in love and didn't want to rob that happiness.

"I will love her the way I always have. Without a doubt," Vincent promised the sea goddess, who nodded as she believed him.

Nerhys didn't have such high powers, but she would give up the ability to ever return to the land for her daughter's life. She said,

"Then I shall bring her back, Vincent." And she began to walk forward and was about to place her foot on the oncoming wave, when she turned to look back at him and said, "You should use that vial on someone else. Because you won't need one for her, just love her like you always have."

"Thank you... Nerhys," Vincent thanked the woman with a deep bow, and the woman smiled.

It was as if the sea goddess left a cryptic message with the way she said it, and the moment her foot did touch the water, her body dissolved in thin air with no evidence left behind.

In the meantime, the men who had fought the rogues and corrupted beings had returned with James and the priest with them. One of the men used the howler messenger to inform the Head Council.

"This is unit in the Cartnear mountains. We have an information update. James Sullivan and an unknown man in the cave have been found in the area. There is no sighting of Mr. Moriarty or the kidnapped Lady Genevieve Moriarty. There is a possibility that Mr. Moriarty flew from here."

Back at the edge of the forest and in front of the seashore, Eve's body was washed up the shore after a minute. Vincent quickly pulled her to the side. Just happy at the mere sight of her. Her eyes were closed and when he placed his fingers on her neck, he realised how her heart wasn't beating anymore.

Vincent's eyebrows furrowed, and he stared at Eve, feeling her cold skin.

"Eve?" He called her name, but she continued to stay cold.

Vincent's hand moved away from her neck, and he caressed the side of her cheek before gently pressing the back of his fingers, and he whispered to her,

"Come back to me, Eve. I have waited for years for you, and I don't like the separation. I don't know what I would do without you," his fingertips touched her cheek before they came to brush her lips. He leaned forward and pressed their cold lips against each other.

Vincent finally heard her heart beat for the first time since she was washed up to the shore, loud and clear, and he pulled away from her lips, watching colour slowly return to her face.

Eve finally opened her eyes that were blue as the water in the sea and she heard Vincent release a sigh of relief. But suddenly, she was engulfed in his arms, where he held her tightly and whispered,

"Fuck, I missed you!"
