"Brother!"
"Eris!"
"BROTHER!"
Rav sprinted through the woods at full speed, running past the bushes. Even as the sharp roots cut into his skin, he didn't flinch. He couldn't hesitate —not now, not when she needed him more than ever.
"BROTHER!"
Her scream grew more agonizing, fueling his need to reach her. He stopped when his eyes caught a glimpse of smoke ahead.
"Eris," he said, with quivering eyes.
"Brother."
Suddenly, his point of view shifted. It wasn't the distance he was trying to cover anymore—he was already there.
"You came late."
His eyes widened in horror when he saw Eris tied to a tree and her body on fire, the huge flame blazing around her small form and her skin peeled off.
His horrified eyes scanned the scene, landing on the cloaked figures kneeling, faces to the ground.
"How could you let them do this to me?"
He turned his wide eyes back to Eris, her body slowly fading away from the flames, even her tears dried up because of the intensity of the fire.
