ALL OF THEM WERE IN PAIN

[Can I have your man for one last time?] 

Serefina's voice echoed inside Lilac's head for the first time. It sounded so weak and powerless, just like how she looked right now. 

At first, Lilac didn't understand what Serefina meant and was quite surprised when her voice suddenly echoed inside her head, because all this time, Lilac had only used mind- link to communicate with Jedrek. 

Lilac then lifted her head and saw Serefina's pained expression, only to see how she was pleading with her eyes. As if this was her last hope. 

Can I have your man for one last time? 

Your man... 

One last time... 

Was this the end of the three of them? 

Despite what had happened between her and Serefina, Lilac still didn't want them to end up like this. This was too much... 

This war had already cost them too many lives and Serefina was too important for them to lose... No matter what happened.
