(Ashdeer POV)
Ashdeer picked up Azriel's bleeding body and waded out of the pool. He barely glanced at the bleeding raw pink human male lying coughing and wheezing on the side of it, as Malia held the man.
She looked up at Ashdeer and said urgently, "Take her away to your chambers. Aranus is already there, he has made arrangements for the Silent Sisters to come and help."
Ashdeer nodded, his eyes were vacant and empty. He felt a deep terror within him. He had never imagined that seeing this young girl go through such terrible pain would have such a deep effect on him. He lurched ahead into the cavern as he raced against time to save her life. He could feel her life force very faintly, her heart was beating very slowly now and he knew it had taken all his will to force the final change on her.
