She's quite certain this is what dying feels like.
The pain is indescribable; Azmaria knows she's screaming, because of her emptying lungs and vibrating throat, but she can't hear anything, or see anything. Nothing externally, anyway; inside her mind's eye, two stories unfold. One features the apostolic children—their names, homes, languages, abilities, and curses—while the other focuses on Aion.
She tries to remember the other children's names (forgive me, I wish I knew you all better), but concentrates on the demon's tale. Azmaria wonders if he can sense her the same way through this connection.
She hopes not.

Note: The other apostles never had a chance. I'd like to think something of them survived.
