Despite her swift response, she was caught off guard by the sudden, merciless strike, the venom-coated blade slicing through her defenses and leaving a deep, fatal wound.
As Eva's mother staggered, her eyes locked with Eva's, a silent exchange passing between them—a message laden with love, sacrifice, and unwavering determination. With black blood trickling from her mouth, she mustered her remaining strength, her voice barely above a whisper as she implored Eva to escape through the portal, to find her path and her destiny. "Run, my precious Eva. Run through the portal. Don't look back. Find your path. Find your destiny."
