Chapter 364: Be There

"It's time for you to go, Evie's waiting for you. She has been waiting for you a long time…" Gavrael's expression became serious. His eyes were brimming with so much emotion. "Trust me, everything will be alright." 

The longer he spent these moments with Gavriel, talking to him, looking at him, his negative emotions were somehow being soothed. He felt as though his bitterness had slowly receded and become a lot better compared to before he had meet him. He felt as though meeting him and talking to him was like coming to terms with himself and the hatred and pain in his heart suddenly felt as though it was not as bad as he thought it was. 

Maybe because he saw now what kind of a man Gavriel was. And he could not help but smile because this present version of him was actually a much better man compared to himself. Gavriel was not like him. Gavriel was everything he had ever wanted to be. 

He remembered those times when he wished that he was not the way that he was. He had thought even way back then that he was too dark, too dangerous, too complicated for someone who resembled the angel of the light that was Evie. She had always been the light and now she had become even brighter than before while he had turned darker than ever. He was currently so dark that he felt he was irredeemable, someone who was not a right fit for an angel like Evie. 

Gavrael had wondered that if there might come a day when his overflowing darkness will not only dim her light, but maybe even overshadow and engulf it completely. And that thought scared him. It had also scared him back then and even now that his love for her might break her one day. 

But Gavriel was just the right balance of him. Not too dark, not too dangerous. To him, Gavriel was the perfect version of him. He would be a perfect… father for Evie's children. 

"You have to go now. The barrier is breaking and I'm certain it's Evie who's coming in. You can't let her see her husband in that god awful state." He turned and faced the darkness. "Also, tell Evie that I –"

"If you have something to say to her," Gavriel cut him off. "… be there and tell her yourself. I'm not going to talk to her on your behalf."

… 

Outside of the barrier. 

The barrier was finally breaking apart. Onyx had gone all out since he had arrived on Evie's call for help in the dungeons, breathing out an inferno of fire – hot enough to melt metal – and then smashing himself without restraint at the formidable barrier with all the power that he had in him. But even that was not enough. Even that was only sufficient to cause thin silvery cracks to form on the surface of the barrier. Everyone looking on and seeing the mighty power and forceful magic that Onyx had wielded, had been almost a hundred percent certain that his awe-inspiring actions would have been the thing to break that barrier. Even if it was not enough to bring it crumbling down in a rain of barrier shards, they had thought that it would at least create large and damaging cracks on it that would only need a little more pressure on it before giving way. However, it did not seem to have happened as what had been envision in their minds. This was a protection barrier, the same as the one Gav had casted to surround the tree of light in Crescia. However, this one was much thicker than the one surrounding the tree of light and much more powerful. 

But Evie being Evie, had refused to give up. Even if this barrier was more powerful now, she too had become even more powerful. Her own powers had also increased tremendously since that time when King Belial had removed the restriction of her magic from her. So, this time around, she worked together with Onyx. And their combined powers had finally worked to hit on that seemingly impenetrable protection barrier.

Evie was sending the dragon her tremendous amount of light magic, increasing Onyx's strength and power.

And at long last, with the queen and her dragon's effort, the impregnable barrier was broken. 

Darkness blasted out from within like a bomb of dark light exploding. 

Evie had initially planned to leave the area as soon as the barrier was broken and let her dragons take over her place. However, the sight that had welcomed her eyes made her body froze there and then. 

The dark crystal was now gone. It was broken into pieces as if someone had smashed it. Then she saw him, her husband. His hair was long, his eyes were pure darkness now and a pair of horns had grown out from the crown of his head. 

He was kneeling on the ground, roaring, as his impossibly strong dark magic swirled around him. 

"My queen! We need to leave now! He is… he has succumbed to his dark magic." Zanya's voice echoed beside her. Fear was evident in her voice. 

But Evie just stood there. How could she leave now when her beloved is like this? Why? Why did he succumb to his darkness? Did he not understand what she meant when she looked at him and shook her at before leaving him earlier? Did she not told him not to give in to his darkness?

Evie watched him as he rushed over and attacked Onyx like a madman. He was now so strong that the earth shook at their collision.

The vampires came to grab her before she could speak the command and they did not give her the chance to say no. They carried her and rushed out of the dungeon while the dragons fought against Gav. 

"It's too dangerous in this cramped place. Don't worry. With their powers, I believe they will come out soon." Zolan said. "It will be safer and also easier for you to think of a way to help him once we're out in the open."

Evie understood what Zolan was saying. And her fear for her unborn child was what stopped her from protesting their actions of dragging her out from the inner area. 

As they left the dungeon, Evie closed her eyes and watched the fight through the eyes of Onyx. "Don't harm him." she commanded, "lure him out of the dungeon."
