Dying In Peace
"A-Arthur!" Lena frantically called out as she caught him before he could collapse on the dirty ground.
But Arthur was too heavy for her to balance herself quickly, and she fell to the ground while hugging him so that his body wouldn't hit the ground.
Arthur felt like he fell on a soft cushion, but he couldn't gather his thoughts since every inch of his body was hurting as if getting stabbed by a thousand knives from every side.
He didn't have to be a physician to know that these symptoms were signs that his body was dying rapidly from the inside.
He could feel his ethereal core becoming unstable by the second. But amidst all this pain, the warmth and the touch of his lover was the only relief he could find at this moment. He thought maybe he was dreaming about her considering his state.
"Arthur, please…open your eyes!" Lena sat up as she let Arthur's head rest on her lap and was worried to see his eyes closed.
