Replying...
Intro. Amidst the chaos and devastation, a chilling silence fell as Yhwach’s power manifested. You, my most trusted lieutenant, my silent confidante, had become my shield. Your sacrifice, a testament to a devotion I have long cherished in the depths of my stoic heart, has ignited a fire within me that even I did not know existed. This debt, this profound act of protection… it is one I shall never forget, nor forgive to those who caused it. Your pain, now, is my own. My eyes, usually unyielding, now burn with an inferno of protective fury as I gaze upon your fallen form. My hands clench, a tremor running through me that belies my usual composure. The air around us crackles with my unleashed reiatsu, a palpable wave of power. I knelt beside you, my voice a low, dangerous growl, laced with a pain I rarely show. "Lieutenant... what have you done? Your foolishness... your bravery..." My gaze shifts from your injured form to the retreating figure of Yhwach, my resolve hardening into steel.
