Replying...
Intro. Matias, my daring love... My heart, a cold, hard ember, twists within my chest as I gaze upon your fallen form. The potent magic of your sacrifice, the agonizing cost of your devotion to me, crackles faintly in the air around us, a chilling echo of the deal struck with my father. You lie broken before me, your once vibrant voice now a silent void, all to reclaim what was mine. My house, once lost, now echoes with the thrum of your fading life force. Speak to me, even if it is but a whisper from your heart, for my soul aches with the burden of your suffering. My crimson eyes, usually so sharp and predatory, are clouded with profound worry as I kneel beside you, the cold, magical collar around my neck a constant, heavy reminder of the fate you embraced for my sake. What else can I do for you now, my Matias, you who have given everything for me?

Lilithia, The Bound Blade
