"I don't sense her energy signature anymore, so I don't think she's alive. Wait here, let me verify," Aurora said before vanishing from her position, crossing several miles in seconds.
Within a few minutes, she returned and looked at Orion.
"I've checked. She's dead," Aurora said with a nod, her expression firm.
"Take me to see her so I can look," Orion replied.
Noticing the hesitation on her face, Orion frowned and asked, "What is it?"
Aurora's shoulders slumped slightly as she shook her head. "Although she's dead, I'm not certain she won't come back to life through some strange means. I don't think it's a good idea for you to get too close to her."
Orion's face was filled with realization. He remembered slicing Ilse in half after her awakening, yet she could still reassemble herself.
