[Hey lad!]
[Aren't you too busy these days?] Noworry perched on Severus' shoulder quietly as he said.
Severus didn't pay any attention to him and continued what he was reading.
[..]
Noworry felt like he was ignored so he bit Severus on shoulder but there was no response.
[]
[Fine]
[letters before masters]
"."
After he was done, he tossed all the letters in the box and burned the box with all the letters. The box had served his purpose, after all.
"Pack up, we are leaving"
[Where]
"weren't you in the eting?"
[I was]
"Then why are you asking?"
[Because those rules don't apply to ] It said, as a matter of fact.
Severus "."
He was speechless.
"We are going to Reinstle"
[Why?]
"Because we need to" He replied simply.
[When are we leaving]
"Today, as in now"
[.]
[no] Noworry denied it.
Severus was dumbstruck.
"No?"
"What do you an by no. We are going and that is final"
[I an, not right now but in the morning]
"But." Severus wanted to say sothing but noworry cut him off.
[we are going tomorrow and that is final] He didn't leave any space for persuasion.
Since noworry was reluctant to leave right now, Severus could only compromise. He agreed to it and hit the bed.
Noworry knew Severus was reaching his limits. These past few days had a great toll on him. He needed rest and sleep and that is why he argued with him.
[Sigh, you should be a little selfish Severus] He lanted.
He was aware that in order to suppress the guardian spirit vengeance, he exerted his magic. It wasn't an easy feat to bind the spirit to Zhi's body. The mont, Moon soul left the earth, the spirit went berserk. If not for Severus ddling in between, there would have been havoc right now.
[No one knew about his sacrifice, but they needed to, but this silly brat would never allow anyone to know about it.]

Next morning
Severus was all set up to go.
"So, I am leaving"
Everyone bid him farewell while Desella insisted to see him off. He denied it, but seeing how persistent she was, Severus had no choice, but to agree.
Standing before a horse, Severus calmly looked at Desella.
"Spill it darling"
"Huh?"
She was stunned by his sweetness. Past few months had been rough for her. Even after coming here, sSeverus didn't show any kindness to her. At first she thought he had a change of heart but then, he never said anything to her.
Softly tracing her cheeks, he calmly waited until she started speaking.
"Will you co back?" She asked in doubt. Though she knew the answer, she was still scared. Her heart was scared.
Ha!
He chuckled. "Of course, I will"
"What silly things are you thinking inside that head of yours?" He questioned her with a frown.
She was elated when she heard him.
"Will it be loong?"
"I hope not"
Her smile dropped and she turned back to being quiet. In the end, she sighed.
Severus saw each expression on her face and couldn't resist laughing.
"Oh my!"
"Desella. Don't worry. I will keep my promise" He said earnestly.
"No, That was not what I ant"
"You see, I am almost done with my research. As you said, I destroyed every single remnant of necromancy art from Rivera. Everything that can be useful for you is in this notebook." As she finished speaking, she handed him a thin notebook.
"There was no object, only folklore and myths. I cracked them for you and jotted them down in this notebook. Everything else has been destroyed, so you better be careful" She warned him.
Severus was stunned when the dry cover of the book touched his palm. It wasn't wrong to say that this book is no less than a treasure. He was deeply touched.
"Thankyou Desella" He was really thankful.
"No need" She smiled brightly.
"Desella, please help Zhi in my absence and try finding a spring temple" He asked her but her little mouth curved down. She was feeling downcast.
"Okay, now it's ti for you to leave" She told him, hiding her tears.
Severus saw them.
Without a word, he crushed the notebook in his hand and in a few seconds, the notebook caught fire and burned into ash.
Desella, whose mind wasn't able to capture everything, was filled with dis-belief.
"What the"
"Why..?"
"I already told you that I destroyed everything. The notebook was the only thing that contained information but you destroyed it."
"Why Severus?"
She was filled with rage and exhaustion, mixed with stupor. She had been working to her bones to collect all that information but he just burned them all.
What was the aning of all this?
"Severus"
"Why would I need that book when there is you? '' He said casually.
Huh?
However, Desella didn't understand.
"Just co with " He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him.
"What?"
"Weren't you sad that I wasn't giving you much attention. So, now I am"
"Co with to Reinstall" He joked but Desella blushed hard.
"You...You are joking. Aren't you?"
"I ain't" He said seriously.
"It's okay If you don't want to" He didn't try to persuade her, instead he turned back and was going to climb the horse when Desella stopped him.
"Wait.."
He smirked. Slowly turning back, he stared at her.
"Hmm?"
"I...ahhh.I want to co with you" She said with hesitation.
Ha!
"Why Are you behaving like a teenage girl? Co with " He helped her on the horse and then himself.
And they left for their journey.

Reinstle
Arthur's room
"Am I clear?"
"Yes Lord"
"Alright. You have ti till I co back from my trip."
"Trip? Are you going sowhere?" He asked in confusion. Arthur wasn't the person who loved to forsake everything for the joy of traveling so this was so news for Rune.
"Apparently I had to et this person you ntioned. Do you want to give so heads up?" He asked him.
Rune smirked when he heard him.
"Aah. Head up. No, nothing but I have a request."
"Hmm?"
