Emily turned to look at her wound. There was no chance it would heal. It was strange. She had always thought death would be painful, but oddly it was somehow serene. Maybe it was her magic that was keeping the pain away, but that didn't explain the lack of emotional turmoil she was experiencing.
She had thought she'd have more than a few regrets while looking back on her life. However her only regrets were for those she knew she could not save. She didn't feel any turmoil over Nathan. He still had a chance. Nor did she feel pity for the few who had died under her care, for they were long gone.
Her thoughts mainly lingered on Luther. It was no doubt a demon, but she had seen the man it had been before...and she could do nothing to help that man.
She turned to Aeon. Now that her plan to save Luther had failed she had to resort to her secondary plan. "Aeon," she said as loud as she could. Apparently it had been loud enough because Aeon turned almost immediately after. Almost as if he'd been waiting.
Emily looked into his eyes and saw he understood. No doubt he'd thought of the same plan.
She began to speak, but Aeon cut her off. "You want to die now don't you?" Emily nodded. "You hope that just maybe it might reset. Maybe the monster will disappear in the next round like some of the other things Luther has summoned." Emily nodded again.
Aeon bow his head. "I hope you've made your peace," he said as he raised his spear.
"Wait," Emily shouted at him. "Use your tool. I still have healing energy in me. Use your tool to take it. You'll need it."
Aeon sighed and shook his head. "I was planning to. I just thought you might find the spear more fitting."
Emily didn't say anything she merely looked up at the sky. At the same moon the man had stared at before becoming a monster.
Aeon took this as a signal and readied his adaptive tool. As the energy drained out of Emily she issued one last order to Aeon.
"Take care of Nathan. He still has a life to live. One none of us others deserve."
