Not liking the chain being back around her feet, she crouched down and tugged it forcefully trying to remove it if possible. She is more than aware that won"t work.How many times have she tried before? Hundreds? Thousands? Millions? Forcing herself to learn a lot of things to look for ways to remove the despicable chain that bounds her to that place.
She also tried to use the hardest iron, the coldest or hottest material but it did not work.
The chain is not heavy, in fact it is lightweight as well like her dress but it"s a constant reminder of her limits.
Tugged the chain strongly, trying to see if it connected somewhere. The chain connected end unseen under the water.
After it halted, she tried again, but the recoil of the action probably upsets whatever is on the end making her be pulled under.
Tried to resist, fight back harder but in no avail, she is still continuously pulled deeper into the ocean struggling to the water that is drowning her.
Her eyes burn, throat painful she almost lost consciousness. Before that happened, she arrived on a place that"s like a temple.
Dropping to the cold marbled floor, trying to catch her breath that is heavy, heaving due to the salty water that she accidentally drunk.
The temple has huge windows makes the place bright despite it being under water. There are ma.s.sive pillars set against the engraved walls that are heavily designed by runes.
Even the marbled floor and the tall pillar is also encrypted by different runes. On a different time, she would like to look closely to each rune trying to decipher what it means.
There"s golden throne at the end of the temple. Every step to reach it is very high. Emerald Stone dragon sculptures that is as high as the throne chair are surrounding it.
The tied majestically made curtains hanging from the ceiling to the floor creates a division from the throne to the area she is currently at.
The smell of the sun is everywhere and so strong in the temple. Despite it under water, the smell of the ocean is not present.
Gao Lan Mei have a very bad feeling with the place, her first instinct is to leave but due to the chain connected on the temple, there is no way she can do so.
"What do we have here?" The voice was cold, footsteps getting nearer, "a woman." Then the voice sound next to her ear, the warm breathing next to her like she is being sniffed.
Gao Lan Mei resisted to waste her energy to looked at the being. She is technically trespa.s.sing. Dealing with this type of things is her worse points.
Too weak to move, she can only wait for the next action of whoever is speaking. She felt her hair being touched or probably being played at. The persons smell so masculine, but there is also the hint of blood.
Cold fingers touched the chain around her ankle, "You cannot leave," then silence, "You cannot run away." he added firmly.
Gao Lan Mei wrinkled her brows, bow her head and did not speak. Who is he to tell that?
She is trying to conserve her energy and thinking of ways to look for the orb and get this illusion over with.
It"s a just a good thing the things that she sees and experience so far, is not a good dream, else she might forget the reality.
She just read about the Eye of Meng before. Never expecting that experiencing is so real even the feeling of being drowned is surprisingly just like in real life.
