I'll never leave
As the moment went by, a light with similar intensity shown from the ocean. Proof that Arian was responding to the call.
The light was cast in all corners of the in-between. Landon and Sly were forced to close their eyes. Staring at the light from the lantern was one thing and staring at the light of life itself was another.
The light shown for a minute before fading. Landon opened his eyes and scanned the ocean. The water was the same as before. The interference had lasted for a moment.
His heart fell in fear that Arian hadn't woken up. He had spent years putting the man to sleep but he had never wished with all of his might for the god of gods to wake up.
Landon kept his end of the deal, he sent the breath of life to Theo in Arcadia. And sealed the golden light in Sly's body so that the merman can never access it again. He sent Sly away to reunite him with Theoden.
"Looking for me? Why do you summon me?" He asked Landon.
