Death rattle

Maxixe's large luminous green eyes were tormented with pain, he couldn't even put on a brave face for show had he wanted.

His angelic face was being ruined by the disease that was wasting away on his body.

Those jade green eyes that she had often admired were now more prominent, in that sunken face of his.

Like a newborn babe he appeared to Kaoma with no trace of that venomous hate or steely sharp tongue the bloodthirsty prince normally wielded.

Had this fever stemming from some unknown disease that Aiden mentioned wreaked havoc on Maxixe's normally healthy body so badly?

Her heart wept for him, earlier when she just entered the room, the smell of the dying hit her, it reminded her of the last moments with her mother.

Something she had not thought about in a long time, watching her mother waste away from grief was the hardest thing she ever had to do.
