Each flicker of fire that danced before him was a reminder that his wish, his desire had been foiled.

"Ah… ARG!!!!!!" Letting out a scream of anguish, a burst of energy erupted from his body, pushing Alyss back.

Running towards the flames, he ignored the burning across his body as he looked for Velouria's heart and Soul.

Even if Alice got the real heart, surely she wouldn't snuff out Velouria's soul!

"!!!"

Hovering in this swirl of inferno was a spectral figure of Alice while Velouria stood in front of her with a smile.

She opened her arms, welcoming Alice and closed her eyes while Nyer reached out with his hand.

"Alice don't you dare!!!"

Hesitating briefly, Alice resolved her gaze as she reached for the beating heart floating in the centre of Velouria's ghost like figure.

Just as Alice's finger touched the heart, it began to wither away rapidly before turning into dust that was swept away by the flames around her.
