Adam found himself floating through a sea of nothingness. His naked body was curled into a fetal position as he aimlessly drifted in this dark void.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze unfocused. Seeing absolutely nothing around him, realization struck him, and his lips curled into a bitter smile.
So I died…
That was his first thought.
He knew that the chances of him perishing were high. After all, what he was attempting to do was highly risky.
But still…
It would be a lie to say that I don't have any regrets, he thought to himself.
His heart was filled with overwhelming sorrow.
What will happen to Valerian? Although I made prior arrangements to have the lotus transferred to him, will he be okay?
The corruption in the valley is gone, so he should be safe.
But how will he fare without me?
He's still a child…
Adam buried his face in his hands and sobbed.
I'm sorry, little Val. I was selfish. I hope you can forgive me.
