Flames

In the pitch-black darkness, a shadow stood in front of Marvin.

It was because of her sudden appearance that Marvin wasn't able to act to help the Paladin.

He stood in the Shadow Plane with his fists firmly clenched, helplessly watching the Paladin as he died from the Lich's negative energy ray.

"Why did you do that?"

He looked at the shadow before his eyes.

There was some surprise on his face. Although he had been prepared for unexpected occurrences, he found it quite jarring to see her in this place.

Hathaway.

Hathaway seemed a lot more mature compared to last time they had met.

She was also a lot taller. It could be seen that the flow of time for her was very unusual.

"Do you want to throw away your life?"

Hathaway still was unperturbed. After her rebirth, her character had changed greatly.
