I was already embracing her in tears before I could even know it. I couldn’t believe this, she was here, she was really here, I couldn’t express the joy I felt right at this mont, it made my chest swell. I broke the hug sobbing, taking in her looks, she was exactly the sa, her hair packed in two buns, but her outlook was more outstanding.
"How is this possible?" I said in a whisper, still trying to wrap my head around it.
"Forgive my lady... do I know you?" she asked puzzled, she was confused. Not as much as I was.
"Olivia" her head moved to Mint, who stared at her in shock. All the enraging emotions playing out in his head.
I turned to Celeste. "In the Mortal Realm I knew her but she died," I explained.
"Olivia has been serving this household since she was a child," Celeste said.
Her na is Olivia here too? What a coincidence.
"Forgive my lady if I don’t recognise you" she said as she bowed.
"No no don’t do that, it’s alright... I’m happy that you’re okay"
She smiled, her eyes moved to Mint. "Do we know each other too?" she asked.
"Yes"
"Would you tell about the Mortal Realm?"
"Yes"
She smiled more. The feeling I got was this was it? That she was in a better place. I looked back and forth between Mint and her. And their chance to et each other again.
"Seems like your trial wasn’t the only thing you cracked," Celeste said with a wink. "Now shall we?", the doors opened.
"We shouldn’t waste more ti"
"Of course", I turned back to Olivia, giving her hand a gentle squeeze before I walked away.
"She will need you," I said to Mint, he stroked a nod.
Celeste and I walked through the doors, it slamd shut behind us, it was just like my dream but this was even better. My gaze fell on the platform Nicklaus laid, I gasped, it was real, his body is really here.
Before I knew it I was stridden towards him, there he laid, still, his body covered with blue stones, his bare chest was broad, so broad, and his bulky muscles, it was twice than what he looked in the Mortal Realm, it made my lips fall apart, well defined and his skin was pale and bright like the moonlight. His raven hair was long and spread out, it called to run my hands through it. His thick eyebrows and his eyelashes were even better, but the features still remained, just like when he was Cedric, but he looked even godly handso and he looked bigger than he was in the Mortal Realm. So this was his true form.
"He’s..."
"Like a mini giant," Celeste said in amusent which I could tell she was joking. "An average human height would be 5 feet 9 inches, but he’s twice that, he’s a god, after all, you don’t expect him to seem like a normal man do you?"
My eyes trembling, I placed my hand on his cheek, I shiver, his body was so cold like ice itself.
"I want him to wake up," I said with tears in my eyes looking at Celeste. "I can’t take it anymore"
"I know... a way to wake him isn’t that simple and fair, rember I told you about his soul being with you?"
I nodded.
"If we can channel that to his body then his mind will return but..."
"But what?"
"Well you might have known him in the Mortal Realm, but that’s his human self, his god-self can be a little..." she sighed.
I was curious now. "A little what?"
"Assuming your mories of your past life have surfaced you might have understood" she shrugs.
"He won’t change will he?"
"Not exactly but more like you are about to et him for who he truly is" she states stretching her hands out for to take. I still didn’t understand what she ant, I will think about that later, right now all that matters was bringing him back. I took her hands.
"Remain calm, all you have to think of is how you love him".
I nodded.
"This was a theory I had when I found out you were alive but I believe it will work, Nicklaus is a part of you as you’re with him, nothing can break that connection. Now let’s bring our Emperor ho" She smirks.
I smiled. She began chanting in an ancient language that I didn’t understand, I trust Celeste and I believe this will work. I closed my eyes doing as I was told, releasing my feelings, just how much I love him and I found my mind traveled.
I opened my eyes, I was no longer in the hall, but rather I was in a magical forest just like the ones I saw in my dream. I walked to the river and saw my reflection, I gasped, I was Yelena right now... No... I’m Yelena, I’m beginning to accept that.
"Nicklaus!" I called for him, I had a feeling I had to find him, I ran deeper into the forest.
"Nicklaus! Where are you?" I whirled multiple tis, my eyes teary. "Co back to ," I said in a shaky voice.
"Yelena" in a deep sonorous voice, the hairs at the back of my neck stood up in alert, my heart swelling, the tears already falling.
"Nicklaus" I whirled.
I gasped back to reality, that was his voice, that was him.
"Move back Yelena!", Celeste pulled away from Nicklaus as we both backed away.
"W-What’s happening?" I panicked feeling the whooshing air around.
"He’s about to be awakened... this could get ssy"
Suddenly the entire place shook trendously, Celeste held onto so that I wouldn’t fall, I wasn’t so sure it was just this place that shook, the entire Realm maybe. It didn’t seize, it didn’t co to a halt either, it got more alarming that for a split second I thought the realm might collapse.
But suddenly it stopped as a bust of black aura mixed with a green color erged from where he laid and then it consud everything in sight.
