SPELLBOUND Chapter 560 - Light Queen

Chapter 560 - Light Queen

"It's okay, don't worry. I'll be fine." she rea.s.sured Gav with a smile and then she stepped closer to the bow again. "I think that with this, we might also be able to find out where the location of the arrow is." She added and she finally reached out her hands.

Gavrael held his breath and Beatrice reached out to touch her son's hand supportively. Seeing the anxiety that he was going through at the moment, she wanted to alleviate it however little if possible.

She squeezed his hand and Gavrael relaxed a little. The familiar warmth of his mother's touch really helped to calm him down.

Heaving a deep breath, Evie closed her eyes and prepared herself. She did not want to be caught off guard like what had happened yesterday.

When she felt that she was ready, Evie kept her eyes closed and then she touched the bow. The bow glowed impossibly bright the moment she gripped it, that Gav, Beatrice and Belial had to cover their eyes from the intense and blinding light.

Darkness. That was all she could see at first and then something Red. Fire. Blood. Then there was smoke.

Evie opened her eyes, and it was as if she was in the sky, the blurry images that flashed in her mind that first time she touched the bow was now clearer. So clear and vivid that it was as if she was really there, flying in the sky and watching the scenery down below.

What she saw made her heart stop. She was no longer seeing war, unlike the ones in her dreams. What she was looking at was the aftermath of a b.l.o.o.d.y war. No, a b.l.o.o.d.y war was even an understatement. This… this was just plain slaughter… pure madness…

The gore was too much that she wanted to stop looking. There were no living humans, vampires, light or dark faes left. She could only see fire, darkness, blood and monsters that were still ripping flesh from the bodies that were strewn all about on the ground. She looked ahead, around, desperately hoping to find someone who might be still alive. There was no one. The place, she could not even recognize which place was this. All she could be sure of was that this place was somewhere on the surface, and not in the Under Lands. She had thought at first that it was night time. But she then saw the outline of the sun shining above. It was then that she realised that it was covered with a thick darkness.

Despite knowing this was a scene from the far long and forgotten past, Evie still could not help but feel anger, dread and utter hopelessness filling her entire being. What was this? Was she watching the end of Lirea? Did the light not prevail like what that song had said? This was… this certainly looked like the war was already over and the darkness had already won! The entire land was already destroyed and beyond saving! No one was even alive anymore! Where was the Light Queen?

Evie did her best to calm down and constantly told herself that this was just memories from long ago. She kept reminding herself that the Light Queen must be somewhere, hiding out with her allies. She shut her eyes tightly, wanting this scene to move on now. She no longer wanted to see any more of this nightmarish h.e.l.l.

But she remained stuck in that scene. Why? Did she need to let go of the bow and then touch it again to see another scene?

Just as she was about to try and let go of the bow, Evie heard a sound. A spine-chilling shriek pierced her ears. This was… a dragon's shriek!

Evie was right, a ma.s.sive dark dragon appeared within her sight. It was Onyx! She yelled but as the dragon came closer, Evie then realized that it was not her Onyx. This dragon has blue eyes, was larger and there was darkness akin to the smoke like dark magic of the dark faes which was swirling so strongly around it.

The majestic dragon blew fire and scorched everyone and everything. Both the dead and the monsters were not spared. More dragons came, little and smaller ones. All were coming from the South.

The vast ground that was once painted with red had now turned black as everything had been reduced into coal. As the dragons flew in circles into the sky Evie saw something else coming.

Her heart began to beat wildly. She was finally seeing living people now and there were many of them. They were… marching… no one was flying or running at impossible speed… humans? No…

Evie found herself gasp at she began to observe them closely.

The entire army marching consisted of… all the races! She could see humans in their knight attires mounted proudly on their horses, vampires were also there and there were light and dark faes too… It was a united army!

The sight baffled Evie to her core. All races… they were marching as one, like they were one. It was a sight Evie had never imagined nor heard of. These races… for so many years they were only known even in legends and stories to be fighting against each other. But here they were, together, and they were not even segregated into groups. One look and she could say that no one seemed to care which race was stronger or more superior. All of them have one similar look on their faces, a warrior's face.

It was… this was making her cry… she could not help but tear up as she looked at them, her heart swelling up with so many emotions. It was especially so when her eyes finally fell on a woman walking at the very front of the untied army. She was dressed in a white cloak and a very familiar looking golden bow was slung across her back.

Evie swallowed hard at the sight of this powerful lady. Light Queen… she uttered under her breath and the woman in white cloak lifted her hand. The entire army consisting of thousands halted.

Then she lifted her hood back over her head.
