My mother’s voice rang out, and before I could warn her to stay away, the gold armored one had her pushed to the front with a gleaming silver sword at her throat. Raze bent down, not even fazed. “And why not?” he asked softly, but I could see the telltale smile on his lips. She glared at him, hatred simmering in her eyes. “Shina, I’m afraid that you and Aoko have been stalling for too long. You need to learn that this is the price of your actions.” Raze turned away, and paused. “In case any of you need a reminder of who is in charge,” he said, his voice echoing across the crowd. There was a brief moment of silence, a quiet caused by the collective holding of air.694Please respect copyright.PENANAMSPucI3oWw

A quick flash of silver.694Please respect copyright.PENANAATAhUGsxBc
The thud of something hitting the ground.694Please respect copyright.PENANA2KLzCCiw1d
A sigh, hissing out from an open mouth.694Please respect copyright.PENANAIxt0899f7N
The pool of blood, rushing towards me as I lay on the ground.694Please respect copyright.PENANAyFL3XmtEAL
And those open eyes, never to see me again.694Please respect copyright.PENANAeOcZ314BI8
