Noticing that soed his worn out body and rushed to herHe descended down a crater that was created fro body, he felt a pain in his heartIt felt like soripped it to the point where it became numbSmall, yet countless, beads of cold sweat filled his entire bodyHis clothes beca but stare at her with his htly opened
'This is not the tihts that flooded hisEric did was to infuse her body with QIHowever, the QI didn't remain in her body and left it as soon as it entered itEric felt like he was trying to catch rain with a punctured pot'Is this what Ed felt…?' Seeing that nothing he did orking, and the fact that Ellie wasn't getting any better, Eric felt like giving up
DeathUnlike h not to experience it, nor have anyone close to him experience itThe only ones that he felt sorrow over losing were the three Elders that laid their lies down to create a brighter future for everyoneHowever, at thatof hopelessness and weakness took over hi was if he wasn't able to save his friend when she was in front of him
Even though the fight was no longer, neither the citizens nor the soldiers dared to approach the castle groundsThe silence that ensued the battle felt even more dreadfulOnly three people stayed where the castle wasThe despairing Eric, the deceased Ellie, and Gazef's wifeGazef's wife Aaushi+ and she had pure white hairShe wore an equally beautiful white dressHer eyelashes and eyebrows looked like they were covered by frost, while her cheeks carried a natural blushShe was able to fly, which meant that she was quite powerful, yet because she detested her husband, she didn't join in on the fight
Still, Aaushi+'s eyes produced a single tear once she confirmed her husband's deathShe descended towards the crater at a slow rate, yet Eric didn'tIt wasn't until her feet hit the ground, producing a galloping sound, that he turned around to look at her
”You are…?” Eric's face had two trails of tearsHe asked Aaushi+ as he gripped his sword, showing his intention of fighting
”I'otten, no need to know my nameHowever, know that I a no harm to your friend” Aaushi+, with a soft yet powerful voice, spoke to EricNoticing that she has no intention to fight, Eric released his grip over his sword and watched Aaushi+ approach Ellie's body
”Youher no harm, but I' that you wish to do” With a do voice, Eric told Aaushi+ before she could do anythingShe looked at hihed
”I' to save her, at the cost of my own life” The first part of her sentence shocked Eric, but the second part made him feel worse
”I' to save her, at the cost of my own life” The first part of her sentence shocked Eric, but the second part made him feel worse
”I''I won't let you use up your life'If it was up toher long enough, I know that Ellie will say just that” Eric explained his stance
”Ellie Tigris…I've always adh the number of times we've met could be counted on one handShe always see of AvalonI love nothing more in this world thanexcept e even before I knehat a cage wasI've coh it orthless”
Aaushi+'s words started to confuse EricShe told hi to save Ellie at the cost of the very thing that she lovedIt didn't make sense
