"Damian..."
Her voice cracked.
"Why… did you come here?"
He looked at her, blood running from his mouth, his body held together by nothing but Will.
"Why… did you throw away your life for me? None of my visions showed you here… None of my futures had you in them."
Her purple eyes shimmered with tears she couldn't suppress.
"You shouldn't have come... There's no escape. I'm supposed to die today. My Seer skill showed it. Every path leads to death… Every future ends here with my corpse on burning ground."
She swallowed against the lump in her throat.
"So why struggle? Why make yourself suffer for something that can't be changed? Why throw away your future for someone already dead? "
Damian's telekinesis pulled his broken body closer to hers, bringing their faces level.
He met her eyes directly.
"I know."
Elizabeth's face showed confusion.
"You... you know?"
"I know you're supposed to die here."
His voice was steady despite everything.
