Chapter 425

Cyprus stood before Sadihra, his hand on her cheek, his expression a mixture of grief and joy.

Katelina had to strain to catch his words. "If I'd known, I - I fought for you, for your memory, because he let you die and he didn't care. You deserved better and I - I only wanted-"

"I know," Sadihra said. "Now lower your weapon, call them off. Leave Malick. End this before it's too late and your misplaced grief helps destroy the world."

Wolfe charged and Sadihra shouted to stop him. Cyprus whirled but he wasn't fast enough. Katelina raised herself on one elbow and gaped. She could see the scene in freeze frame; Cyprus, one hand on Sadihra's shoulder, his eyes wide, his mouth open, and Wolfe's bloody sword stuck through his stomach.
