His Sacrifice

"What did you see?" Arthur asked with his heart racing. Whatever made Sier this shaken can't be something good. He waited for Sier to calm down before he walked over and pulled a chair to sit on. 

"Si, what did you see?" Arthur asked again after he sat on his chair, leaning forward to meet Si's eyes. Si met his eyes before falling into silence. As if he calmed down, he butted out his cigarette with a sigh.

"I saw the Enders."

"What?" Arthur frowned, as he had already met the Enders before. "You mean those that took over Alfred?" 

"Haha," Si laughed suddenly, an unfamiliar helpless tin in his voice. "Those are not the Enders, but purely creatures they created. Their minions, at most." 

"You mean…"

"The Enders are far more powerful, Arthur." Sier looked him in the eyes. As violet and purple lights flickered in his eyes, he continued. "The only reason the world hasn't fallen is that they can't descend into this realm."
