"Do the right thing, let me live, please," Cinder begged. "You're a good person, you don't want my blood on your hands."
Ryden glared at her, he clenched his side to try and stop the bleeding. Ryden sighed and dropped his sword. Ryden turned away from her.
"You're right, how about I just get some of my friends and try and kill you," Ryden sarcastically said.
"I don't think that is necessary, I am sorry, I swear to change," Cinder pleaded.
Ryden nodded and spun back around. Ryden stuck his hand towards her, his palm aimed point blank at her face. Fire began to appear in his hand.
"You're right," Ryden coldly said, summoning more flames to his hand. "Because unlike you, I don't need help."
