Charis now turned her attention towards Din. Her smile grew bigger. She loved to see him crumble and he was just doing that at the moment. She could see the internal conflict unfold in his eyes. They darted from her to the only woman left in their hands. Faragonda… She had made him so weak. She laughed in her mind. Foolish people… where was the strength who was claimed to come forward out of love? Where was it?
"So, what is your decision?" He looked back at her. Pain made his bleu eyes almost look grey.
"I once promised her to put my live above everything else." The words barely left his lips. "But I can't put it above hers." He saw Faragonda's eyes widen.
"Don't do that, Din." Her voice sounded in his head. "Please, don't do that. Sacrifice me, Din…"
"You know I can't." His pain flooded through her mind. "You know that, Faragonda. I told you… I can't risk your live."
"You're taking too long, Din." He looked up. Charis did look impatient. "Take your decision now!" Her hand hovered next to her head, ready to sink and kill Faragonda with it. He couldn't decide, not so fast, not now… Faragonda… "You're taking way too long. I've waited long enough." Her hand sank down and together with it the teeth of the Naga behind Faragonda.
Terrible pain shot through her entire body after she felt the sharp teeth sink into her flesh. Her mouth opened to scream, but only halfway darkness engulfed her. She didn't hear his scream… She would never hear it…
