SPELLBOUND

d. ”

”No.
I ’ll stay.
You will go out. ” Gavriel shook his head and rejected Gav ’s switch.

”What?! ” Gavrael frowned now. 

”Don ’t you want to meet up with the king and queen? ”

”That can wait.
You need to go to the library to find answers first and foremost.
I ’ll stay here.
You know I hate planning and thinking hard about things.
You can use me all you want when I ’m needed in fights.
But this… this, I don ’t think I ’m fitted for such matters. ” Gav scrunched up his face in a grimace.

”No, don ’t argue with me about this and just listen.
I can ’t wield magic, don ’t forget that.
It would take me forever to find what I ’m looking for without using magic.
Asking someone ’s help is out of the question here as we ’re trying to keep this a secret.
So, you need to be the one to do this.
Meet your family and then find a way to talk to the king to let you enter the forbidden place.
Also, if it is you, Evie won ’t be too suspicious of your actions.
If you disappear out of nowhere, she won ’t think much about it, unlike if it was me. ”

Gavrael fell silent again as if processing everything Gavriel was reasoning out. 

”Stop thinking and just agree.
Didn ’t you say you hate thinking hard? ” Gavriel smirked at him.

A sharp stare was Gavrael ’s reply. 

”Don ’t worry, this decision is not made on a whim.
I ’ve already thought hard about this.
You said you ’d do anything, didn ’t you? So, now here we go.
I will not come out until we find an answer or a lead so you should only come in and talk to me only when Evie ’s asleep to show me all the information you ’ve gathered. ”

Gavrael ’s gaze now narrowed slightly.
”You ’re willingly letting me to be with Evie and everyone without switching? You do realise that this could take a few days or even more, right? ”

”I know.
Don ’t worry, I ’m not an idiot to be so petty about this anymore.
It ’s really useless and stupid to just keep feeling jealous of each other now.
What matters now is our goal to find answers.
This is for Evie ’s sake and that ’s the most important thing.
Now go, we don ’t have much time to waste because of this looming trouble. ”  

Silently, Gavrael held Gavriel ’s eyes until he finally turned around to hide the look that flashed in his eyes.
It was just weird for him to feel amazed at this other version of himself.
Gavrael knew that if it is just him, he would never have thought of all these methods and be able to come up with such plans to solve these problems. 

One last time, he looked at Gavriel over his shoulder and saw him already closing his eyes and sitting lazily as he leaned his head back against the floor.
He looked like he was already back to thinking again. 

He waited for him to say something more, but no other words came until he is finally out again.
As his lashes fluttered open, he heard that sweetest voice he loves so much. 

”You ’re finally awake, ” Evie said, smiling at him as she brushed his hair off his forehead.
”I bet mother and father-in-law will be shocked once we go over to greet them and they see the colour of your eyes. ” She grinned wider, looking excited.
”Now let ’s rise, Gav and get ready.
They ’re already waiting for us outside right now..
You need to meet them before King Belial sets out to go to the Abyss of Darkness again. ”
