Rafaela saw Argus place his sword on the man's torso and let it drink the blood...
Fear entered her eyes as he greeted her, "Why are you here, Rafaela..." Argus had his back turned towards her...
"I'm here to bring you back!" She hugged him behind his back... She missed him so much...
but then... He removed himself from her hug and said "You can't..." and started to walk away...
Her hope started to waiver but she managed to calm herself down...
She casted her magic and tried to purify the evil within him...
But things didn't go the way she expected... He's magic was now stronger than her...
He used his power to spread darkness in her spell..
"I told you that you can't and you won't! Just go before I change my mind..." Argus said and walked away from her as if she's nothing but a malice... He didn't even look back towards her...
The vision of him walking away from her started to stir the emotion of sadness from within her...
She tried to run but she couldn't... Her feet was stuck... They wouldn't budge..
He then looked behind his back... Darkness was seen in his eyes as he clearly said.. "I told you to go! I don't need you anymore since you are nothing but a piece of trash! NOTHING RIVALS POWER!" He said as he kicked her down..
She looked in his eyes trying to see it for one last time before her death...
She thought that there should be something inside of those eyes that isn't power and disdain...
Her tears started to fall as he pierced his sword ni her chest...
Suddenly she woke up in a dark, cold room...
She looked around as sadness started to engulf her whole... She looked outside her balcony...
Her tears started to fall... She was mad at herself for being too weak to save him from the darkness...
"Why did you leave me???I miss you, Argus..." She whispered not knowing that someone was observing her...
She looked towards the moon and started to reminisce about their childhood... When they still friends...
She remembered how he would make her laugh, how he'll smile at her brightly, how he will always make a pretty wreath for her...
She remembered that she took the task of being a healer was so that she could help him in the battlefield..
She didn't expect things to change so quickly while the only thing she could do was just sit idly because she can't control his fate... It solely lies in his decisions...
She remembered that a few years ago they were still happily helping the Empire with all that they can...
Argus always fought evil and always punished them..
While, she helped Argus with his job and served as a doctor for the soldiers and citizens of the Empire...
They always travelled together... He wouldn't leave her whenever Tigreal assigns him a mission...
Until that fateful day...
When he got corrupted by power...
At that time... He smiled sweetly at her and said that he was going on a self improvement mission! She told him that she would also go with him... He caressed her hair and said "Rafaela, you don't need to push yourself to come with me and just focus on recuperating since you got heavily injured on our last mission... I promise that I will bring you with me in my next mission!" He hugged her and bid goodbye...
She smiled when she remembered his promise but then she remembered that the promise he made will never come true...

A hour earlier...
He awoken from his sleep and remembered that time...
He remembered the look of Anger and Disdain in her eyes...
And the way that he killed her in his dreams..
He didn't want to remember such a sight...
He wanted to stop himself from killing her and making her suffer but he was unsuccessful...
He couldn't move his own... He was unable to move his body to follow what he wants it to do...
He was ashamed of himself...
