1626 The Parting Gifts. III (The End)

Amidst the ethereal expanse of the spirit realm, where wisps of consciousness drifted like stars in a vast, silent sea of the spirit realm, Felix found himself face to face with the spirit of his grandfather.

He had no facial features and nothing resembling his grandfather. Yet, the sight struck a deep chord within him, causing a tumult of emotions surging forth.

He knew, no, he was certain that was his one and only grandfather...

His grandfather's spirit floated there, a solitary figure in the endless void, appearing lost and untethered.

As Felix gazed upon him, a profound sense of sadness enveloped his heart.

Memories of laughter, wisdom, and warmth flooded back, a stark contrast to the forlorn figure before him.

Felix's eyes reddened a bit as he reached out, a silent apology forming on his lips for not being there, for all the moments lost and the time they could not reclaim...

The sight of his once strong and guiding grandfather, now a wandering echo in the spirit realm, filled him with a deep, aching longing and distress that clawed at his very soul.

He wanted nothing more but to make a wish and save him from drowning in this endless sea, but his ice-cold calculative mind made him drop such thought immediately.

He understood that the moment he went for it, he would fall off with Lord Hades and this would cause all of his plans to fall apart...

'Just wait a little bit more...Grandpa...I promise you...I will return even if it's the last thing I do.' Felix muttered under his breath, 'I promise...'

With a single blink, Felix got rid of such emotions and carried on with his mission...He used the help of the universe to open a portal to the spirit realm.

When it was opened, he pushed Noah's spirit within it and then closed it shut immediately.

The instant Noah's spirit connection was severed from his body, Felix snapped his finger and deactivated his sloth symbol...Then, he observed Noah silently.

He understood that his symbol wouldn't retract Noah's spirit back to his body now that he was in the spirit realm.

As expected, afew moments later, Noah's eyes opened up to the desolation and infinite darkness of the spirit realm...The only light around him was of Grandfather's Robert and his spirit, shimmering akin to a candle in a pitch-black cave.

Felix and the tenants watched as Noah's usual composed and cold expression got washed in a visceral wave of fear and distress.
