Chapter 427 - One Year Later
One year later.
"Ugh, is this it?" Aiden muttered as he looked to his left. In his arms was Mia, who looked at him tenderly.
"Are you leaving today?" She asked as she snuggled closer to him, trying to convince her to stay.
However, she knew it was already a lost battle. Aiden had told her a few months ago what would be happening. He had already warned her that he would be leaving at one point in time.
Still, it was hard to accept. They had only spent a month or two together, and most of the time Aiden had spent there, he had spent training. Only when he would come back would he please her. He had gotten all kinds of potions from Alex, making his body much stronger.
Aiden had also been treated as a king. However, all good things came to an end, and he needed to focus on himself. He couldn't delude himself into staying in this world. He needed to save everyone from the grasp of the five Gods. It wasn't only one world that he would save. He would save them all, he would free them all.
"Can't I come with you?" Mia asked as she held Aiden.
He shook his head. "You can't. It's going to be too dangerous for you. The war that I'm about to head into will be either my victory or my utter defeat."
She looked pained. "Are you sure that you need to do all this? Can't you just stay here with me? We could live peacefully here, no one would even bother us."
Aiden looked at her with a smile. Those were all nice things that she had just said. However, it wouldn't do the trick for him. There were more important things that he needed to do.
"I'm sorry, but I need to go."
[You have entered a Portal.]
[You are being teleported back to your original dimension.]
His vision became blurry for a few seconds, and when he opened it again, he found himself in a completely different world. He was back in the cave where he had left everyone behind. It was completely empty, there was no one inside it. Emma had left and Jake was nowhere to be found. Emma had probably brought him on Aiden's side.
He would be one of the most valuable pieces that Aiden would possess and he would need to use them extremely well.
Things would get a lot more complicated if Jake, the Mercenary, were to fight against Aiden. It might even tilt things in their favor. He doubted it, but things could always change especially in times of war.
Still, there was just one problem. He had no clue where to find Emma.
Aiden quickly headed out of the cave, where he found a piece of paper hanging around the entrance of the cave. He almost flew away because of the wind. However, it was holding on. It was all dirty, from touching the paper Aiden could tell that it had been weeks since someone had left it there.
Though, none of that mattered as Aiden lowered his head instantly and started reading. It was practically sure that it would be the letter coming from Emma. It had been writing quickly as the calligraphy was all messed up, as there were a bunch of scribbles. Aiden was only able to make sense of a very limited number of them.
'Emberbane Territory...come join us there.'
Those were the only words that Aiden could read. However, he knew that there were a lot of them missing between those. There were full sentences that he couldn't even begin to read because it was either too complicated, or the words had simply been erased because of the outside weather.
Aiden clicked his tongue and didn't have much choice of his next destination. It seemed he would have to head to the Emberbane Territory, it's not like he had any other option.
