Loren POV
I could not feel the left side of my face. All I could feel was the hot blood flowing from my face from where Amedis had mauled me. I knew that it was deep and utterly marred my face, and I knew that if the adrenaline left me, it would hurt like nothing else I had ever felt.
I tried to reach over to Alex, who was gasping for air and coughing up blood, but he was too weak to reach back. He looked at me, his eyes filled with fear and regret as we were about to face defeat once again.
After all our planning and training, Amedis had won.
The moon reached the apex, and the crystal that contained the homunculus had begun to crack like an egg. Amedis held Alex and me by the neck so that we were forced to watch the birth of the new Immortal, after which he would make us watch as he killed everyone we cared about.
