"The battle isn't over yet," Nyrielle said, taking Ignatious hand for support as she forced herself to stand. "Collect Hamdi's body. He isn't dead, but he shouldn't wake easily after what I've done to him. I'm afraid that his progeny has finally arrived. If we don't stop the battle upstairs soon, tonight will be even more of a tragedy for both sides."
She was certain that Hamdi would hate her for decades to come for what she'd done to him, but at the moment, it was still possible for things to recover. Matters could begin and end between them.
If the damage to his household grew much greater, however, she was afraid that things would turn into a blood feud that would never end until his entire lineage had been exterminated and that was something she wanted to avoid almost as much as she needed to avoid losing any of her own progeny in this battle.
