Pulling his sword out with a merciless jolt, Kharos loosened his grip on Aestra's hair. Aestra collapsed to the floor, twitching in pain as she clutched her stomach, from where a pool of blood continued to leak out, washed away by the rain.
"Nnn… no… no… no… no…" Voltrex's low, terrified voice rang out as he finally regained consciousness and realized what had just happened.
With trembling steps, he moved toward Aestra, bent down, and gently placed her head on his lap.
"V… Voltrex," Aestra whimpered in pain, her beautiful black eyes glistening with tears of agony.
She slowly raised her trembling hand toward Voltrex's face. His oceanic blue eyes were half-closed as she touched his cheek softly and whispered,
"S… save… save o-our son."
And then....
Her hand fell limp.
"A-Aestra… Aestra… Aestraaaaa!!!!!!" Voltrex roared, panic surging through his entire body.
