The Ravenstone Heiress

[mature content] A bone-shivering loud screech came from the monster and when she peaked at it, behind Eldric, horror took over her very soul. It was more than five meters tall, with at least twenty thorn-full black legs like a spider's, its bottom was wide and large with a thick maroon skin, while it grew larger and higher on its broad torso that seemed muscled but was more like an armor skin than anything, going from maroon to black again, with four arms are each side that look like the tail of a scorpion. Going up to its huge angular head, its mouth opened in an 90° angle showing eight threads of shark teeth and a frighteningly long forked tongue, with a triangular hole where the nose should be, and more than a hundred black eyes. When both stared at the monster, all they could feel was a sense of imminent death, more to her than him, as he was already dead for centuries. Morringan swallowed the scream that crawled up her throat and Eldric took a fighting stance. But the second she blinked, shadows spread through the entire house, blackening her view of everything, and though panic crawled up when he vanished from her front, she kept herself connected to him, giving him more of her life force, trusting him on this, even if she had a horrible feeling about this. She fell to the ground, weaker at each second that he consumed her to protect them both, and though she tried to stand up, her legs were too faint for that, so, she stayed down, giving more, as much as necessary, anything if it meant keeping them both safe. The soul eater screeched over and over again, so loud she felt like her ears could bleed at each second, but she held on, feeling that those screams were of it being hit by Eldric, who turned out to be destructively more powerful than she ever imagined. But fear took over her when a scream came from him and she felt a like it had scratched her very soul, not just him. "Eldric," she called him, but her voice was so raspy, it was nearly gone, "Eldric," she cried for him, panic rising inside of her chest, eyes welling up. "Eldric!" "I'm... sorry... Mor..." he said far from her, as if he was choking on something, "I... love... you..." "Eldric," she tried to scream, but it was useless. "Find... me... ...pride..." his voice was nearly impossible to be heard, but she was able to make those words.
