Chapter 30: Reflections Of The Past (Part V)
Love was dead. I should have been able to stop them. Why couldn’t I stop them? It was all my fault. For years he spiraled through a deep depression. Though he dreaded the thought, he knew he had to let go. Vera was gone forever, and nothing could change what had happened. Trying his best to move forward, he focused solely on his work as a newly appointed king’s adviser and began studying magic obsessively in his free time.
Having access to the castle, he often found himself searching the royal library for books to help him further his magical abilities. While spell books were available in other libraries across Aria, here he had access to rare and sometimes forbidden publications. He was especially intrigued the day he stumbled across one particular book, entitled The Forbidden Art of Necromancy (For Scholastic Use Only!). This lit a spark of hope inside of him. He wouldn’t have to let go if he could bring her back. Checking to see if anyone was watching, he carefully tucked the book into his cloth bag and exited the library.
