'cause you are the piece of me
I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly
Still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy why are you my remedy
If our love is insanity why are you my clarity.
-Clarity. Zedd-

Torak half shifted his hand into a claw, the sharp razor nail that would dig Aeon's heart quickly, made it less painful for the shadow warrior.
"Don't let her blame herself." Aeon stared at Raine's back, her body was shaking uncontrollably with sadness.
Somehow, he was glad that she cried for him. It showed that he has meaning for her to worth her tears, to make her so sad like this.
But, Aeon didn't want Raine to be in despair for so long. There was a lot of things that she had to do and there was a lot of dangers that waited for her.
He wanted her to be strong and he knew she would. Her kindness was something that Aeon adored the most.
The only thing that Aeon regretted it was; because he wouldn't be there to see that. To see her standing tall and confident.
But, he was already very proud when he watched how Raine handled the situation with the Alphas who had betrayed her pack.
Aeon hoped he could see it more.
"I hope we can meet in different circ. u. mstances." Torak said as he looked at Aeon right in his eyes."Probably we can be a friend."
Aeon smiled ever so slightly when the pain was almost unbearable."That sounds nice..." he agreed.
"Goodbye." Torak gave Aeon a small nod to show his respect to the shadow warrior as Aeon did the same.
"Good... bye..."
With that was being said, Torak jabbed his claws at his heart and crushed it in matter of millisecond, leaving the life in Aeon's eyes fade away.
The last thing that Aeon saw was Raine's black hair that fluttered by the wind. What a beautiful scene to see...
Before his mind failed him, Aeon remembered every moment when he watched her grew up, from the sweet little girl to a beautiful young woman.
Aeon remembered that Raine would leave a piece of bread, in her way home, for stray cats when she still lived with her foster parents and how she would like to tie her hair into a messy bun when she did her homework.
How time flew by in a blink of an eye...
Aeon closed his eyes and all the memories of her, sealed perfectly in his crushed heart...
Torak stood up with his bloody hands, feeling sorrowful for the man, who lied on the ground lifelessly with a big hole in his chest.
Behind Torak, Serefina waved her hand and cleaned Torak's hand from the blood and flicked her fingers to burn Aeon's body into ashes.
There was a moment of silence where the wind blew past them as it howled into the night...
Torak walked back and took his mate into his arms.
"It's done..." Torak whispered into her ears and felt her body shivered in despair. Raine's tears didn't cease down for long time.
In Aeon??s spot, there was a blue fire that burned so bright, illuminated it surroundings as the shadow that engulfed that place started to disappear and the moon shone splendidly.
At that time, Torak's eyes glazed, as he mind- linked all of the Lycanthropes.
Not so long after that, all the Lycans dropped to their knees, giving their final respect to the brave shadow warrior and to their fellow Lycans who died in this battle.
The night turned serene, except from the small sobs from the sad guardian angel in the Alpha's arms.
However, this is not over yet.
It is far from over.
It is just the beginning.
It is just a little bit taste of how the war will be.
Miles from their place, in red river city, near the place where centuries ago, was the village of angel, a certain river was froze for the second time.
Apricity river.
That magical river that was the reason why the city was called red river city, froze.
People there was stunned and shock, the news about it was on people's lips, but this was news for another day.
For now, in fulbright city... this place was dead.
Lucifer and Belphegor didn't die, they just returned to where they belonged. The place where the other five devils resided.
There would be time when they face them all.
But, there was still enough time to prepare for the worst case.
Serefina walked closer toward Raine and Torak, when all the Lycanthropes had stood up and was in sorrow, there were too many dead bodies and they had lost many fellow comrades in matter of hours.
The witch caressed Raine's shoulder."I think this is the right time for you to meet the other guardian angel." Serefina spoke softly.
Raine raised her head and looked at the witch through her swollen eyes, she wiped her cheeks roughly.
"I will meet them?" Raine asked in her hoarse voice. She was still afraid to see the burning blue flames behind her.
Raine could feel the warmth from it, but it wasn't enough to warm her cold heart.
After losing Sunny, after she was forced to kill her, Raine thought her heart had strong enough to face everything, yet it wasn't true...
Her heart still bleeding when she had to watch another death from the people that close to her heart.
Raine and Aeon's relationship was complicated, but she wouldn't deny that the shadow warrior had done everything for her.
He was so close... He protected her every time he could and every chance was given to him.
At first Raine hoped he would find someone better, yet in this rate, there was no possibility for him to cherish his life...
If Raine thought about it again, Aeon was so pitiful. He had been waiting for Raine for centuries, but she couldn't reciprocate the same affection...
This thought only made Raine feel worse. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘄e𝙗novel - 🅽🅽novel
"Don't." Torak could feel it from her as well."He didn't want you to feel that way. The best way to thank him is to appreciate what he had done for us."
Raine wiped away her tears and nodded before she turned to Serefina and spoke with determination."Let's meet them."
