The blade pierced Selin cleanly. Hero flinched. He never wanted to do this, but he had been forced to.
"You have killed the parasite!""You have killed..."
Hero did not want to see that name. A tear immediately fell from his eye. It seemed as if Selin was still alive, but her fate was sealed.
Selin staggered back a few steps. Blood sprayed from her wound as Hero immediately pulled the sword out. Selin looked at Hero one last time, then collapsed. For Hero, everything slowed down. He no longer saw the world like others did. He felt empty and filled only with grief. He had just killed Selin.
"I had to do it!"
Hero withdrew and ran out of the cave. Ice lay unconscious on the ground inside and did not notice anything. Selin, however, exploded into a thousand blue fragments. In the end, she was a non player character. Even so, she would always be remembered by the group. She died bravely in battle, if it had not been for that parasite.
