I am your only reality....

Celestia's POV: 

Darius finally regained his consciousness. He opened his eyes and gazed up at me. But still, he was not strong enough to get back to his feet. He dropped his gaze down and saw the weapon I was holding in my hand. 

Darius realized what was going on. He smiled weakly and said, "Go ahead and do it, Celestia. If that is what you want, then I respect your decision."

My eyes welled up as he said that. Nothing can be worse than this. 

"It can get worse than this, Celestia," Theo said to me. "If you don't kill him now, then the situation gets worse than this for us."

I still didn't understand how Darius could be a threat to us. That is not true! My heart refuses to accept that. I can't do this. I can't kill Darius. I dropped the Saber of Venom to the ground. 

Darius's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have gained strength by my gesture. He immediately got up from the ground.
