The creature chirped happily and moved its head toward the woman lovingly, but the Knights advanced, making the bird shriek loudly to protect the woman from harm.
"Calm down, everyone!" the woman shouted. Her voice showed authority that even made the creature shrink in fear.
"Please…. I don't want him to die," Felissa stated calmly. Her energy was depleting and made her dizzy.
"Why should I?" the woman replied nonchalantly. She walked closer to Felissa and growled low.
"Don't you dare," Vicenzo stepped in front of Felissa to protect her if the woman tried something to harm her.
"Vicenzo…" Felissa whispered and grabbed his shoulder, slowly pushing him to the side.
"It's my fault. I should take responsibility for my mistakes, Vicenzo. Please let me. We don't have much time," Felissa whispered. She was losing strength and tried her best to remain strong in front of everyone.
In shadows deep, where moonlight gleams,
A creature stirs with piercing eyes of gleam.
With fur as dark as night's eternal kiss,
The wolf emerges, looming in the mist.
