"Rest in peace. May the Farplain keep you safe." Braba said as Derick fell to the floor.
"NOOO!" Luna screamed, running to her fallen gaurdian. "Don't leave me, Derick. I need you. I love you." Luna said, crying. Derick opened his eyes and said,
"Luna, you know he's not going to let me leave this room alive." It broke Luna's heart when he said that, and it broke again when he coughed and she saw bright red blood trickle from his mouth.
"Summoner, leave him. He knows his death is coming. There is no reason to worry over him."
"Youstay out of this!" Luna said, finally looking at Derick's wound. It was in the upper left part of his stomach, just where it meets the chest. From the way he was breathing, Braba must have punctured his left lung. She looked at the weapon and saw that it was a small dagger.
"Luna, please, take it out of me. I don't want to die with a dagger in me."
"Please, Derick. You're in too much pain."
"Please, Luna. You can do it. I'm begging you. Please, Luna. Please." Derick said, coughing once again. Luna's heart broke for a third time as she pulled the dagger from Derick's stomach, and a fourth as Derick groaned from the pain.
Derick opened his eyes and Luna saw a look of love in them. She didn't know if she could take anymore heartbreak.
"Luna, I love you."
