"But, why can't you come with us?" Hope asked, she didn't have the confidence to bring all of these people out of there by herself.
"I can't, I am sorry." The priestess's expression turned sad. "I can barely hold on. I have used enough of my strength."
Hope could see it, her spirit became weaker and weaker.If it wasn't because of the contrast of her translucent body against this dark, terrifying forest, maybe Hope would have a hard time to see her.
"I think this is our goodbye," the priestess said softly, smiling tenderly among the thousands of fireflies.
Hope could feel her chest tightened. She hated goodbye. "It is a shame that I can't give you a hug," Hope bit her lips to prevent her tears from streaming down her cheeks.
It was very strange for her to feel so attached to the priestess when in fact they just met a few hours ago.
If only Hope could meet her in flesh…
