Pain exploded through me as blood sprayed into the air.
The sky darkened instantly, the sun swallowed by an eclipse. My silver white hair glowed under the dying light, fluttering slightly.
I gasped as I crushed my heart in my hand, as long as I sacrificed myself, the people would be safe… Damon will be safe… my only regret… was not being able to save my child.
My eyes dulled as they slowly grew vacant.
Thousands of golden butterflies burst around me in different translucent light. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. They circled around me, lifting me gently into the sky.
Power surged outward from me, shaking the entire world, slicing through the air like a blade. Magic rushed back inside me as if my body had become a vessel for it.
And magic slowly seeped out from the earth, the seas, the air, and the trees. Even the golden orb tore itself free from the Greater Evil and flew towards me.
