Thomas looked at Iris and slowly leaned closer to Iris, one hand supporting Iris' body and the other touching Iris' face.
"I'm sorry, Iris." Thomas smiled weakly, the blazing fire from the Hydra continued to charge towards them, but never actually reached Thomas or Iris thanks to the shielding black shadow.
"You don't choose any of us, so I will make the choice. You must be with me and be mine."
After saying that, Thomas opened Iris' mouth and pressed their lips together. The man closed his eyes and made Iris forcibly drink her blood. Instead, he did the same and bit Iris' lips. Around them, magic runes appeared and emitted a red glow. As if by magic, red and black mixed, shining straight through the sky, all movement around them suddenly came to a halt.
