I just had to remind you all of the Universal problem. The Ferals are still in the picture.. Don’t forget them— they are more problems than Ivanka, Abasha, and every other vile person combined. The Mad dogs have frozen. See yA!
{Ciril’s POV} We ended up not stopping for the night.Yeah. That’s right. We journeyed all through the night until daybreak… and all this was for a reason.As my relief for Landon waking up and being healthy started to fade away since I knew he was okay now, my panic for my family started to grow.Anika, Princess Anita, Anne, Clord, and my mother were my family and I realized the urgency to return to them on time— now that I had a cure.Honestly, I had been stalling earlier— dreading to return to the Palace because I knew I wouldn’t be able to do anything helpful but break down in tears.. That had been the reason for my subconscious hesitancy, but now that there was a cure, our journey was hasty as ever.Sorry, Landon’s journey was hasty as ever. He was still the one carrying me so he had been the one who had done all the trekking and traveling, but then I had soothed his journey by being entertaining and sweet. You can tell he still had an amazing night from the look he had on hi
{Ciril’s POV} Why did Landon suddenly heal and wake up?Before the topic was unimportant because I had been more concerned about him being awake and hearty, but now that he was clearly healthy, I couldn’t help but think about it. What made London suddenly heal? “I don’t know.” Landon responded to my question. It was rhetorical but then he responded to it since I wasn’t saying anything further. “Is that what you’re still thinking about?” He asked me now when I still didn’t say anything. “It’s you, Ciril. Your presence cured me. That’s my belief and that should easily be yours too.” He told me now and this time, I responded.“No, Landon. We actually have to question this to know for certain.” I said, still in thought. I started to conjecture. “I bit you— In my outburst, I bit into your shoulder area while you had been growing unconscious and I shook you up, leading to me creating a messy wound.”I was narrating it as I was recalling it.“With that, I let go of your body and stood ba
{Ciril’s POV} I love you.I didn’t know when those words poured out of my mouth, but I couldn’t take them back now.But even more significantly, I didn’t want to take them back. Yeah. There was a feeling that wrapped around my chest, as if tightening my heart a little so that it beat faster than it normally would. This feeling came about when I said those three words, and it came with a crazy rush… but then it wasn’t an uncomfortable feeling.In fact, it was an exciting and relieving feeling— and this made it strange to me. Thus my heart was beating fast now but it was as if a weight had been lifted off of me. I didn’t quite understand the entire concept of what was happening to me… but one thing that I was sure about was that I wanted to say those three blissful words again.Saying them had made me feel blissful, and that bliss multiplied when I drove my gaze back to Landon’s face and caught the look he had on. He looked broken… but remade at the same time… He looked at me like
{Ciril’s POV} Landon was conscious.I had heard his low grunt and seen his eyelids twitch, and was very sure of it. “Landon?” I called his name hopefully now. Even though I had seen signs that he was conscious, I was still hopeful and wishful that he was actually conscious.‘Cause it was one thing to see signs and another for those signs to mean something tangible.I got no response with my first call so I called him again. “Landon?” I said again and this time, I also thought I wasn’t going to get a promising response, but just then, he shifted his head from one angle to the other. I tensed.And then I motioned to speak but then his following movements cut me off from that. I had forgotten my right hand on his right chest so now, he slowly and randomly placed his hand on my hand that was resting on his chest. With that, I was made aware of the contact, but I didn’t mind that now.What mattered to me was the fact that he was fully conscious, and I thought my relief couldn’t be more
{Ciril’s POV} Color returned to Landon’s skin. I was watching it happen but I didn’t believe it or understand it.He was supposed to be bleeding out, losing blood and dying, but instead of doing that, his blood was circulating through his body. And it looked more red than black-stained. It looked healthy— like the infection had been terminated.He was still motionless as he lay in the blood pool and I slowly rose to my feet in my confusion and alarm.I spat out blood from my mouth now— his loose shoulder bone had torn the insides of my mouth earlier when I had been wildly biting him in my outburst, so I spat out the blood from the wound now. I was shaky and in that manner, I started pacing towards him, slowly and quietly. I fancied that he was looking more alive now but none of this still made sense to me so I was more horrified and hesitant than reassured. With my timid steps, I soon hovered before him and stared with a shaky breath as I took in the sight of him on the dusty grou
{Ciril’s POV} Landon was cold.And I’m not talking about the cold one would feel on a rainy and windy night. I’m talking about a freezing type of cold where the skin feels like a rigid and firm stretch of plastic instead of the living wrap that ties our organs together.He was still in my arms and I was still stroking his skin but now, I was properly alarmed. I had been stroking his chest, his body for the past several minutes and it felt like all I had been doing was in vain.He wasn’t responding.My heat wasn’t getting into his body and the more the seconds ticked by, the more it felt like he was fading away.The blood he had been spitting out earlier was a result of the hints of the Feral blood still in his body. With the feelings of his heart towards me, he had set himself free from the Ferality but then bits of the infection that was still in his blood had been attacking his body— killing him from the inside while we had been journeying. I had been ignorant of it earlier and now,
