Sneakers and not-so-hushed whispers about her downfall came flooding from every direction. Yet, none were as soul-crushing as the cold look she received from the people seated at the podium awaiting her end with impatience. She bit her lip till it bled and looked them n the eye one by one, but settled on the one who she trusted and served. She looked at the Grand Paladin with scorching hatred and uttered, " I served you day and night, I sacrificed everything for you. I curse you, lowly man! I curse everyone who did me wrong! My spilled blood will burn your souls in the abyss and I shall watch!" She tilted her head up as a gush of wind blew. Closing her eyes and breathing her last breath, she spoke the words no one she still capable of, "Burn, Lily" Fire broke out of nothingness and shrieks came from every direction except the pyre where she burnt.

She is messing up everything I worked- WE worked to put together... Just why again? " Aziah?" upon hearing my name I am out of my head. I look at my sire, the only one who is capable of seeing through me with a mere glance. "Which one?" he said scanning the room. Damn it, he knew. "The one with glasses taking notes" I indicate and wait. He looks at her for a few seconds and tilts his head. " Do not do it" he says looking back at me with an expression I do not understand. he then smiles at me and says, "She is different".
