I looked back, saw Ashton as he and other soldiers fought the several other assassins with their swords.

I smiled like a proud mother bear. The way Ashton fought now. With such ferocious efficiency, his tribes people won't see him and think that because he was as beautiful as a king's favourite concubine, and now happened to like men too, he was weak.

His sharp blade cut through an enemy's middle. And I watched as torso, wrenched completely from lower limbs. With ruthlessness, his sword moved. Sharp reflexes, displaying as he dodged multiple attacks. Indeed, he was a beast in battle. Despite him not using his Gift.

I panted. I will lose my strength soon. I could feel it. I had used so much of my Gift. And now, exhaustion, was headed my way.

With every last bit of strength I still had left, I moved towards Regalis, Brayton, Cederic and Nadia. By saving them, I've just put the lives of my country men at risk, Randall will be furious, so, they have to survive. Let this battle be worth it.

And as I healed them, I felt my very last energy depart from me.

And I collapsed.
