Chapter 61 True Warrior

• “Lyra!” I held on to her, her face was pale, her eyes filled with a sadness that mirrored the emptiness in my own chest. Her voice, usually full with so much warmth and laughter, was a mere whisper, she wasn’t the same anymore.
• "Aria," she whispered. "Why couldn't you save me? We were supposed to get through this together."
• The words hung in the air, heavy and a blow to me. She pulled away and I tried to reach for her, to explain how I made an impossible choice I myself didn’t realize I was making but this time, she was different.
