Karyk felt like he was everywhere. He was floating in the void without a body, yet he was also inside the pool of blood.
The spike that stabbed the Prince's heart was a part of him. The others hadn't killed the Prince. It was him who had killed the Prince.
Karyk could sense the young child's memories being devoured along with his blood. Not just his memories, but his entire existence was being consumed by this abyss.
Karyk saw the entire life of the young Prince play out in front of his eyes, from the moment the Prince was born to the moment he escaped the Palace and then returned, only to die.
The Prince's memories were being devoured, but they weren't alone. His soul and body were also being consumed.
The Prince's body started disintegrating into specks of light, slowly falling into the puddle of blood, descending to the depths. Even his tears turned into light and merged with the blood.
