KIHO clicked his tongue in frustration.
Solaris died.
[No– the blasted Moon God killed him.]
SNIFF.
Kiho's heart was already broken by Solaris' untimely death, but it got even more broken when he heard Winter and Julian cry.
Even Mikhail Denver looked shaken by what happened.
"It's not your fault, Captain Denver," Kiho said. If he wasn't busy blocking Kyro's Hellfire with his wall of ice, he would have patted the captain's shoulder. "Focus on the fight. Don't let Solaris' sacrifice be put in vain."
Mikhail Denver sniffled before responding in a cracked voice. "Yes, Your Grace."
"You, too, boys," Kiho said to Winter and Julian who were standing on his either sides. "Defend your lives for now and cry later."
Winter and Julian, who were both supporting Kiho's wall of ice with their own ice power, swallowed their sobs before responding to him.
"Yes, Dad."
"Yes, Father."
