Then all of a sudden, sothing throbbed in his head. There was a painful twisting and tugging sensation at the back of his eyes, causing him to feel a little flustered.
He then began to see himself in this sa spot where he was standing. It was like a holographic image of himself, running as a flashback. He saw 'himself' crumpled on the ground, all bloodied and breathless. What he assud was his own blood was pooling on the floor as he coughed and spat out blood continuously. And there was faint bluish glow emanating from his body. It was clear to him that he seed to be dying. It was then that he realized 'his' eyes were not the normal blue that was characteristic of him. When he looked closer, he noted that they were a cool slate grey. This man… this was Gavriel!
Then Gavrael began to hear his voice speaking. It was his own voice, but this Gavriel he was seeing in his head seed to be talking not to himself but to soone else. Even though there was no one around him. Trembling as he knelt on the pool of blood and clenching his fist on his chest, his voice echoed. "Alright, I'm setting you free from your cage now. Take over this body… I know I can only rely to you now to protect Evie. I know you are dangerous and monstrous, but I know Evie will be safe with you. You are the one she needed the most right now." He said in a trembling voice, as he was having great difficulty and it was not because of his injuries but because of the emotional pain. Gavrael could sense that just by saying those words, pained him more than anything else.
"Just promise you'd take care of her… yes, I know you would," Tears then fell from his eyes as he sank his sharp nails into his chest, all the while screaming, and blue flas burst forth from his chest and enveloped his body in a matter of seconds.
…
"Gav?" Evie called out when Gavrael just stood there as if he had turned into a statue. Her heartbeat was erratic. Looking at his glazed eyes, she was hoping that he is finally rembering sothing.
However, he soon looked away and swept his gaze around the empty dungeon. "Have you found what you're looking for?" he asked, his tone neutral and unaffected, causing Evie to go still. She tried her best to hide her disappointnt as it was obvious to her that he did not seem to rember a thing as well down here.
"Well… yeah, you were right, everything's in ruins here now. Let's get on our way." She forced out a smile and reached out to hold his hand and led him to the stairs.
She took a few breaths, trying to cheer herself up again. She told herself it would not be that easy and she must be patient. Moreover, there was still the Forbidden Land. Maybe because their mories in this particular place was not of the pleasant sort, that was why his mories were not triggered. She must cheer up and keep her faith.
As she was cheering herself up, Gavrael was thinking about the things he just saw, as he was trying his best to act normally.
He did not rember Gavriel's mories, he realized at that mont… these were 'his' mories too! Was it because that was the mont of their transition?
Gavrael could only believe that it was indeed because of that. But what bugged him to his core was the words he had said. It appeared that Gavriel knew about his existence, but he thought he was being caged inside him. Furthermore, it seed Gavriel knew that he could release him, set him free and take over his body. 'How did Gavriel know? Could it be that he had seen so of my mories while he I am trapped inside him?' Gavrael asked himself.
The way Gavriel had told him to take care of Evie also haunted him. It was obvious Gavriel did not want to let him take over, but apparently, he had no choice. It was also obvious to him that the decision Gavriel made pained him and hurt him very much. As if to him, that mont was also saying goodbye forever to Evie.
'Why? Was it because he knew that the two of us… our mories can't co-exist? Or was it because he knew that once I take over, he'd be gone forever?' the question made Gavrael's throat clenched.
He realized what was going on now.
Right now, Gavriel's mories were buried within him. And it will never return again unless he gives up just like what Gavriel had done and allowed him take over once again.
The realization made Gavrael's heart clenched in pain. Sohow, he understood now why he always felt this strange hurt every ti he realized that Evie was making efforts to bring Gavriel's mories back. So, this was the reason why. His subconscious or his body already knew that if Gavriel's mories return, it would only an that he'd disappear again as Gavrael.
He quietly looked at Evie's back. He knew how much she was working hard, doing everything she can to make him rember Gavriel's mories. She was doing all these so her Gavriel's mories could finally return. How would she react if she found out that his mories and Gavriel's can in no way co-exist with the other? The question made him smile bitterly as the pain in his chest intensified, knowing that she was doing all these all for the reason of wanting Gavriel back.
It was almost ridiculous for him to feel this way because to Evie, he and Gavriel was one and the sa person. But to him and also to Gavriel, they both knew it was not as simple as that. They lived in a different ti, they both lived different lives and even have different nas. Therefore, to them both, they were not one and the sa soul… to them, they were actually different people who could not co-exist with the other at the sa ti, in the sa space… and only the two of them could understand that.
