Despair stared Alicia straight in the eyes.
As the marching steps of the adversary grew near, it drew closer to her.
"Looks like I got some of the entrails of that filthy beast on my body…" The humanoid Dragon said, instantly setting himself ablaze with energy.
The remnant white fur, one long rabbit ear, and the fluffy tail of the dead creature he spoke of was instantly consumed by the blue energy that coated his body.
In no time at all, they became ash and flew away—even the blood of the beast.
All of it… gone with the wind.
"S-Snow…?" Alicia muttered, her eyes wide open as tears fell out of them.
Her body shuddered as her mind struggled to process the loss. In that moment, something rose from within her depths, and she opened her mouth to bring forth even more vomit laced with blood.
Her insides were on fire, and her mind felt like breaking apart.
