"Even if what you say is true," she said softly, "this feels… wrong."
Eleonora folded her arms. "I'll pass. This isn't my decision to make."
The ice dragon felt like she didn't have the authority to do that as they didn't know each other much.
Alera looked down at Alice, tears welling in her eyes.
She trusted Alex, but the thought of harming her friend, even for her benefit, was almost unbearable to her.
It was quite a weird feeling to her as she didn't expect to get attached to these people so much.
Finally, with a shaky nod, she agreed.
"If this is what's best for her… I'll do it."
Summoning her ornate spear, Alera knelt beside Alice.
Her hands trembled as she positioned the weapon over her friend's heart.
"I'm sorry," she whispered, a tear slipping down her cheek.
'So dramatic...' Alex thought.
With a swift motion, Alera plunged the spear into Alice's chest.
