42: Come back - part 2

"Come back with me. Please, come back with me. I don't want to lose you again so please don't do this to me."

The words echoed inside Elysia's mind like a curse. She had never heard someone plead with her in that earnest voice and it caused her desire to remain in this peaceful illusion to waver.

Those words were enough to make Elysia want to go back since they sounded so sincere.

'Are you going to allow yourself to suffer out there again? Didn't the Head Priest say that he needed you as well? Look where it got you. You got cursed and trapped in here as a result.'

The voice was a subtle whisper in the back of Elysia's mind. It had been with Elysia as far as she could remember it being.

But it had never sounded this clear to her before.
