"Slow down, already!" I call out to Larishazza as we walked down a mostly empty street. It wasn't like the city was empty. Everyone was just indoors enjoying meals or entertainment. But, me and her weren't here for any of that. She just came up to me and said she had an answer.
So I was very excited as a statement as cryptic as that only had one answer. And it was to what I had asked her not that long ago! During the party! And now, it was finally here...
The woman I loved would stop with the suspense and we could be together. I also refused to look at this matter with any form of pessimism. I would not be presumptuous about a loss. I was only going to look forward to her reply.
'I love you, too!' is what I was going to hear. The Nin that once held a knife in his hands no longer had to worry. Someone had finally come for him... Yet, there was something that was confusing me...
I could see her clearly, dancing and playing. She should've been her normal loud and cheery self. But, for some reason, I was struggling to hear her. She wasn't even that far away...?
"Lari, slow down!" I call out again before I move forward to try and snatch up her hand. I get that this was an exciting, tense moment. But, she wasn't the only one feeling this way! I could barely hold it in myself!
However, I became very worried when Lari's hand just slipped out of my grip. It wasn't like magic had been used or she was secretly coated in butter. She just phased straight through my grip...? Had Einervaene been teaching her new magic...?
"SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Lari then screamed out of nowhere. And, all of a sudden, we were no longer in a open street. But a maze of tight alleys with blood-covered walls. Then, without much thought, I just charged forward.
That was her voice! Those were her cries! And this was surely her blood! Yet, when I finally saw her...
She was impaled against a wall... Blood flooded the ground around her and her smile was gone... And before her, was a man with a smile that could be seen even through his cheeks!? A bloody sword was also in his hand...
