A Heartfelt Loss
Amidst the fierce battle against the guardians and the looming darkness, Yua's condition grew increasingly critical. The wound inflicted by the guardian's blade-like arm had taken its toll, and despite the best efforts of her comrades, they were unable to stop the bleeding. Yua's strength waned, and her breathing grew shallow. She knew that her time was running out, but even in her final moments, her thoughts were with her allies and the mission they had embarked upon. With a faint smile, Yua whispered her last words, "Please... win... for all realms." Her voice trailed off, and her eyes closed as she succumbed to her injuries. The battlefield fell silent as her comrades mourned the loss of their courageous ally. Yua had sacrificed herself for the greater good, and her unwavering determination and encouragement had been a source of strength for them all. Zara, Kyokuske, and the Council of Captains bowed their heads in a moment of solemnity, paying their respects to the fallen. Yua's sacrifice weighed heavily on their hearts, but it also fueled their determination to succeed in their mission.
With renewed resolve, they turned their attention back to the battle against the guardians and the barrier protecting the amulet. Yua's memory would serve as a constant reminder of the stakes involved and the need to press on despite the darkness that still threatened the realms.
