Chapter 516:
Elincia's Point of View
Helmsforth Temple
"Such language!" My brother let out as he stood back up. "Especially in front of the Priestess. My, my, how the mighty do fall. Then again, kings do what they want." He leaned against his prison as he studied us. "Or am I just special because we carry the sa title? Well, used to. We've both downgraded. You're a knight, and I'm a prisoner. So unfortunate that we have to keep eting like this. How's Graham?"
"Dead."
"Dead, dead?"
"Dead, dead." Arthur confird. "Keep this up, and you won't be far behind him."
"While that does sound exciting, I'm afraid it's not the kind of excitent I'm looking for. You ca down here for Arceana? The one who always had to prove herself." Rudnurth stated dryly. "Surely there are better topics."
"Not at the mont. Arceana. Mind. mories. Fix them." Arthur ordered simply.
Pushing off the runic wall, Rudnurth smirked. "That's certainly a matter of opinion. I'm curious how you ca by that ring. You didn't have it on you the last ti you were here, did you?"
My eyes imdiately shot to Arthur's hand and saw he had Aydan's ring. It was his erald ring that he wore everywhere. Our surrogate father wore little in the way of jewelry, but that always stuck out to . I would never forget it. The only reason I didn't realize what he was wearing was because of how this entire visit started.
"That belonged to Aydan." I whispered in disbelief.
"Curious." Rudnurth let out in wonder. "Very curious." His eyes seed to focus on Arthur as the man played with the ring on his index finger. "Is he still alive?"
Arthur's teeth clenched. "We both died because of you." He replied coldly. "Why would you think he would be alive?"
Rudnurth rely raised a brow. "You're here, are you not? It's not an exaggeration to think he might still be around. He was a crafty old codger."
"No." The word left Arthur's lips in disdain. "He did not survive. Aydan poured so of his energy into this ring for when I went to retrieve it. I haven't had any reason to do so until just recently."
"Soone is being very open in front of the youngest." Rudnurth's eyes shifted towards for a mont before returning to Arthur. "If you are being so bold, perhaps you found a way around my ddling? Have you freed her?"
Arthur's chest was starting to rise and fall faster. "Rudnurth, I am warning you..." He spoke through clenched teeth. "Either you fix this now, or I kill you."
Rudnurth leaned forward slightly and replied smugly. "Then they'll never be free."
The two n glared at one another. Arthur's fists clenched as his teeth ground. Closing his eyes, I watched as Arthur's body relaxed. He let out a long breath he had been holding in. His fingers loosened as he slowly opened his eyes once more. There was a hint of resignation in them.
"Considering there's no difference, I might as well kill you. If you don't want to help, Arceana won't get better, and there's no point in keeping you alive. So, do you want to change your answer?" Arthur offered one last ti.
"You stole everything from ." Rudnurth seethed. "I will watch as everything you care about burns down around you as you watch helplessly." As he spoke, a dull ache started to appear behind my eyes.
A portal opened beside Arthur. "That's where you're wrong." Arthur replied as he stepped into the portal and appeared behind Rudnurth inside his cell. "You won't be alive to witness your work in play." My brother quickly turned around, only to have a fist slam into the side of his head. "You won't live to see anything ever again." Arthur said coldly as Rudnurth stumbled into the runic wall. "I should've killed you two thousand years ago."
Rudnurth was clearly caught off guard, as was I. The sudden onslaught was so quick and brutal that I couldn't respond. I watched as my imprisoned brother was pumled into the runic wall. Blood splattered across the cell as Arthur didn't relent even for a mont. The two n were in a confined space that was quickly being decorated with blood.
"Change your mind yet?!" Arthur asked angrily as he let Rudnurth slide to the floor. Stepping forward, he began stomping on him. "It's real simple!" I could hear the cracking of bones as the force of the stomps almost seed to shake the prison. "This all ends as soon as you fix your sisters."
